Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax

Chevy Safety Assist

Confidence is built in. Every 2026 Trax includes Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced safety and driver assistance features designed to support you on busy streets and open roads alike. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking can warn you of a potential front-end collision and help you brake if needed, while Front Pedestrian Braking is designed to detect a pedestrian directly ahead and provide hard braking or enhance driver hard braking to help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning gently helps you stay centered, and Following Distance Indicator can help you monitor the gap to the vehicle in front. IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist automatically toggles the high beams when it detects oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead. These features are engineered to support—never replace—your attention, helping you drive with added assurance each day.

ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo Engine

The Trax is powered by a capable ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine that strikes a smart balance between city-ready response and long-haul efficiency. It is tuned for everyday drivability, so you can accelerate smoothly onto US 53, zip through roundabouts, and roll along county roads without fuss. The turbocharged design helps deliver torque where you use it most—at lower speeds—making errands and merges feel easier. Pair that with an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined fuel economy and you have a powertrain that helps keep your routine simple and your stops for fuel less frequent. Under the hood, the engineering focus is on refined operation and consistency, helping you enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

11-inch Center HD Touch-Screen

Technology that works the way you do is central to the Trax experience. The available 11-inch center HD touch-screen brings a crisp, responsive interface that makes accessing apps, settings, and media a breeze. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ are standard across the lineup, so you can stream music, use maps, and message hands-free without plugging in. An available built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot helps passengers stay connected on the go, while available wireless charging cuts the cord clutter entirely. The layout is intuitive, with quick access to your most-used functions and clear on-screen prompts that help reduce distraction. Whether you are new to Chevrolet infotainment or upgrading from an older system, the learning curve is quick and the day-to-day convenience is immediate.

Versatile Cargo and Seating

Small outside, big inside—that is a Trax hallmark. With seating for five and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, you can carry friends, family, or cargo in a wide array of combinations. Need more room for a weekend run to the home store? Fold down the rear seatbacks to unlock up to 54 cu. ft. of max cargo space. The rear opening is generous, the liftover height is comfortable, and the load floor is practical for everyday items like strollers, sports bags, and grocery totes. Thoughtful storage spaces around the cabin help keep small items secure and within reach, while the rear seats are designed to fold quickly so you can pivot from passengers to packages in seconds. It is this kind of flexible functionality that makes Trax a natural fit for busy routines.

Distinctive Trims and Design Details

Trax gives you choices that feel personal. The LS is your essentials-focused entry point, bringing LED headlights and Active Noise Cancellation for a calm cabin. Step up to 1RS for sporty details like 18-inch machined two-tone wheels, RS badging with a unique grille, Black bowtie emblems, and Red interior accents. The LT elevates comfort and convenience with an 11-inch diagonal color touch-screen, an 8-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center, a remote vehicle starter system, and automatic climate controls. Want to go bolder? 2RS turns it up with 19-inch machined two-tone wheels plus the RS design treatment. For a confident, stand-out look, ACTIV features 18-inch Black-painted aluminum wheels, a Black grille with Titanium chrome accents, unique interior accents, and an expressive presence. Choose a color that suits your style—Cacti Green, White Sands, Summit White, Mosaic Black Metallic, Marina Blue Metallic, or Sterling Gray Metallic—and make your Trax unmistakably yours.
