2026 Chevrolet Trax

LS anchors the range with a clean design and a solid list of standard features. Chevy Safety Assist comes standard, along with wireless smartphone integration, LED lighting, and Active Noise Cancellation that helps keep the cabin quiet. It delivers the essentials drivers expect without inflating cost or complexity.

1RS introduces a sport-oriented appearance package. Eighteen-inch machined two-tone wheels, RS badging, black bowtie emblems, and red-accented interior details give Trax a sharper visual identity without changing its everyday usability. LT shifts attention toward comfort and convenience. Available upgrades include an 11-inch center touchscreen, an 8-inch Driver Information Center, automatic climate control, and remote start—features that are especially relevant during Anchorage’s colder months..

2RS builds on the RS theme with 19-inch machined wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and bolder black exterior accents that give the Trax more presence without increasing its footprint..

ACTIV stands apart with a more rugged design approach. Blackout wheels, titanium-chrome exterior accents, and unique interior trim create a look that fits drivers who want something more outdoors-inspired while remaining firmly city-friendly.

Every 2026 Trax is powered by an ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine paired with an automatic transmission. The focus is smooth, predictable power delivery and efficiency rather than outright performance. Trax is not rated for towing, a trade-off that keeps weight down and maneuverability high—important considerations for urban and suburban driving.

Trax emphasizes control and consistency. Turbocharged low-end response helps it feel responsive in traffic, while suspension tuning favors ride comfort over uneven pavement. Steering remains light and easy to manage, particularly in tight spaces. With an EPA-est. 30 MPG combined, Trax offers strong efficiency for daily commuting and extended winter driving.

Inside, the Trax is straightforward and functional, with a layout that prioritizes visibility and space efficiency. Seating for 5 adults is supported by an upright driving position and generous headroom. Cargo capacity reaches up to 54 cu. ft. with the rear seats folded, making room for groceries, gear, or weekend equipment. The 60/40 split-folding rear seat adds flexibility, while higher trims introduce upgraded materials, contrast stitching, and RS or ACTIV-specific accents that elevate the cabin without overcomplicating it.

Technology is integrated with restraint. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, and the available 11-inch HD touchscreen delivers clear graphics and intuitive operation. Available wireless charging, Wi-Fi® hotspot capability, and multiple USB ports support modern device use. Digital displays are designed for quick readability, helping reduce distraction in busy traffic conditions.

Safety remains a core strength of the 2026 Trax. Chevy Safety Assist is standard and includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. Available features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert add additional support. A Rear Vision Camera, Rear Seat Reminder, and Teen Driver Technology round out a comprehensive safety approach designed to support confident driving in all seasons.
