The New 2026 Chevrolet Trax

Compact in size but versatile in spirit, the 2026 Trax handles everyday driving with ease. Its small footprint and nimble steering make it perfect for crowded city streets and tight parking spots, but its well-tuned suspension provides a smooth, comfortable ride on longer journeys. The combined fuel economy is 30 MPG (EPA-estimated 28 MPG city/32 highway/30 combined).

Although it isn’t designed for heavy towing, the Trax’s composure and stability make it an ideal choice for errands, commutes, and weekend adventures.

The elevated driving position not only improves outward visibility but also adds to the secure, confident feel behind the wheel. For Greenville-area drivers, that means a small SUV that’s just as ready for downtown traffic as it is for a road trip into the mountains.

Every 2026 Trax is powered by a turbocharged 1.2-liter inline-3 engine producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, this compact SUV delivers responsive acceleration, balanced handling, and efficient cruising for both city commutes and open-road drives.

Front-wheel drive comes standard, offering efficiency and stability in most conditions. This added traction enhances confidence during varied weather, making it well-suited for drivers seeking reliability without compromising the Trax’s easy-going efficiency.

One of the Trax’s biggest strengths is its impressive fuel economy, designed to help you save at the pump without compromising performance. With fewer fuel stops and lower running costs, it’s an excellent choice for daily commuters, first-time drivers, and budget-conscious families seeking value, versatility, and efficiency in one stylish package.

Step inside the 2026 Trax and you’ll find a cabin that blends comfort with functionality. Seating for five comes standard, with ample headroom and legroom in both rows for adult passengers. Cloth upholstery is standard, and leatherette appointments are available on higher trims for a more premium feel.

Practicality shines with 25.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to a maximum of 54.1 cubic feet when the seats are folded flat. The 60/40 split-folding rear bench and wide-opening liftgate make it simple to load groceries, gear, or luggage.

Soft-touch surfaces, intuitive controls, and available heated front seats ensure the Trax keeps everyone comfortable, whether it’s a short drive to work or a weekend road trip. Interior color themes include Jet Black with Yellow accents on ACTIV and Jet Black with Red accents on 2RS, giving the cabin a sporty yet upscale look that matches each trim’s unique character.

On the outside, the 2026 Trax carries Chevrolet’s bold, modern SUV styling. A dual-port grille, sleek LED headlights, and sculpted lines give it a sporty stance that looks just as good parked downtown as it does cruising down the highway.

Trim-specific wheel designs help every model stand out, including 17-inch aluminum wheels on entry trims. Available roof rails add extra functionality for active lifestyles, letting you carry bikes, kayaks, or extra cargo with ease.

Chevy also offers a vibrant range of exterior colors for 2026, so you can choose a Trax that matches your personality. The colors include cacti green, white sands, summit white, mosaic black metallic, marina blue metallic, and sterling gray metallic.

The 2026 Trax is designed with connectivity and peace of mind in mind. On the LS and 1RS, you’ll find an 8-inch touchscreen. Stepping up to the LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trims, the Trax upgrades to a standard 11-inch color touchscreen paired with an 8-inch Driver Information Center.

Available upgrades include Bose® premium audio, wireless device charging, and built-in navigation, ensuring that tech-savvy drivers have everything they need at their fingertips.

On the safety side, every Trax comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® Auto High Beams.

Additional available features like Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert add even more confidence when navigating busy roads.

The LS sets the foundation of the lineup with everything essential for a confident drive. Powered by the 1.2L turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed automatic, it’s designed for efficient everyday performance. Inside, the LS features an 8-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, keeping you connected without the hassle of cords.

Standard Chevy Safety Assist, Active Noise Cancellation, and a Rear Vision Camera add confidence and comfort. Riding on durable 17-inch steel wheels, the LS provides strong value for budget-conscious buyers who want practicality with modern essentials.

The 1RS builds on the LS with a bolder, sportier look and more convenience. It includes 18-inch machined two-tone wheels, a black mesh grille with RS badging, and sleek black Chevy bowtie emblems. Inside, red accents give the cabin a sport-inspired feel, while technology upgrades include remote start and heated mirrors for added convenience.

The 8-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration remains standard, while Chevy Safety Assist ensures you’re covered with advanced safety features. For drivers who want style that matches their energy, the 1RS delivers.

The LT trim adds refinement and technology to the lineup. On the outside, it stands out with 17-inch machined aluminum wheels and available roof rails for extra cargo capability. Inside, it upgrades to a larger 11-inch touchscreen paired with an 8-inch Driver Information Center, giving you a more advanced digital interface.

Comfort features like automatic climate control, remote start, and premium cloth upholstery make every trip more enjoyable. With optional upgrades like a Bose® premium audio system and wireless charging, the LT caters to drivers who want both style and substance.

The 2RS takes the RS formula to the next level with 19-inch machined two-tone wheels, bold black exterior detailing, and exclusive RS styling cues. On the inside, it raises the bar with red interior accents, a race-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel, and Evotex premium leatherette seating for a more upscale feel.

Technology also gets a boost with the 11-inch HD touchscreen, 8-inch digital driver display, and premium 6-speaker audio. With added features like a heated steering wheel and enhanced soft-touch cabin materials, the 2RS is designed for drivers who want performance-inspired design and modern convenience in one package.

The ACTIV trim blends rugged style with refined comfort, making it perfect for drivers who live with adventure in mind. On the outside, it features a unique ACTIV grille, titanium-chrome exterior accents, 18-inch black alloy wheels, and faux skid plates for a tough, outdoorsy look.

Inside, the ACTIV shines with Evotex seat trim, heated front seats and steering wheel, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support for long-haul comfort. Exclusive yellow interior accents add a confident, stand-out touch to the cabin. Bold yet practical, the ACTIV combines everyday usability with design that reflects an adventurous lifestyle.

The 2026 Chevrolet Trax proves that a small SUV can still be big on value, style, and technology. With its efficient engine, comfortable cabin, and advanced safety features, it’s designed to deliver confidence and versatility in every drive.
