Performance

 

Turbocharged Efficiency

Every 2026 Chevy Trax is powered by a responsive 1.2L turbocharged engine producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission, the Trax offers confident acceleration and steady highway performance. Unlike many competitors that rely on CVTs, the Trax's traditional automatic transmission delivers a more natural and engaging driving feel.

With EPA-estimated fuel economy of 28 MPG city and 32 MPG highway, the Trax keeps operating costs low while maintaining lively performance for everyday driving.

Confident Handling

The compact design of the Trax makes it incredibly easy to maneuver, whether you're navigating tight city streets or merging onto busy highways. Precise steering, composed suspension tuning, and responsive braking create a balanced ride that feels stable and controlled. Drivers transitioning from a sedan will appreciate the familiar driving dynamics paired with the added visibility of an SUV.

Sporty and Stylish

The 2026 Trax lineup includes LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trims - each offering distinct personality and features.

Versatility

 

Flexible Cargo Space

Comfort for All

The longer wheelbase provides generous rear legroom, making it comfortable for adults and families alike. Available features like heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power sunroof elevate the driving experience. The upright seating position and thoughtful interior layout create a cabin that feels open, modern, and welcoming.
