Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax
Chevy Safety Assist
Confidence starts with standard Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced safety and driver assistance features that support you every time you set off. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking help detect a potential front-end collision and can assist with braking in certain situations. Front Pedestrian Braking provides added awareness in low-speed, front-pedestrian scenarios. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can provide gentle steering support to help keep you centered, while Following Distance Indicator shows a time gap to help you maintain space. IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist can automatically turn high beams on and off when it is dark and oncoming traffic is detected. Together, these features make the Trax feel reassuring in the city, on the highway, and anywhere the day takes you.
11-inch center HD touch-screen
The available 11-inch center HD touch-screen is the modern command hub you will use most. Graphics are crisp, menus are intuitive, and key controls are simple to reach from the driver’s seat. The larger display makes navigation and audio selection feel natural at a glance, and the interface pairs beautifully with standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility. Add an available built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot to keep passengers connected, and consider available wireless charging to clear cables from the console. On LT, you also get an 8-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center right in the gauge cluster, putting essential driving data in clear view. It all works together to make the technology feel helpful, not distracting.
ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine
The ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine is engineered to deliver a refined, responsive drive backed by impressive efficiency, with an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined. The compact turbo design helps the Trax feel lively around town and relaxed at highway speeds, while Active Noise Cancellation contributes to a quiet cabin. Calibration of throttle response and shifting is tuned for ease in traffic and confidence during merges, which is exactly how a small SUV should feel. The result is an everyday companion that is smooth and predictable, with the kind of composure that makes long days in the driver’s seat less tiring.
Flexible Cargo Space with 60/40 Split-Folding Rear Seat
Inside, versatility is a core strength. The Trax seats five adults comfortably and offers up to 54 cu. ft. of max cargo space when you need it. A 60/40 split-folding rear seat makes it simple to carry longer items while keeping a passenger on board, and the squared-off opening helps streamline loading. Thoughtful storage areas keep daily essentials organized, while the low liftover height reduces strain when loading heavy items. From a weekly grocery run to a weekend trip with sports gear, the space adapts quickly to the task at hand without the bulk of a larger SUV.
ACTIV and RS Design Details
If style is part of your shopping list, the Trax delivers with distinct personalities across the lineup. ACTIV stands out with Titanium chrome exterior accents, blackout wheels, unique interior touches, and a confident stance that looks right at home anywhere. 2RS brings bold Black exterior elements, RS badging, Red interior accents, and a race-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel that feels as good as it looks. Even the color palette underscores the SUV’s expressive spirit, with options like Cacti Green, White Sands, Summit White, Mosaic Black Metallic, Marina Blue Metallic, and Sterling Gray Metallic. Wheel designs range from 17-inch to 19-inch machined two-tone styles depending on trim, and details like Black bowtie emblems on RS add the finishing touch. Whether you prefer sleek or striking, there is a Trax that speaks your language.
