Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax

ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo

The heart of every Trax is an ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine designed to balance everyday responsiveness with long-distance efficiency. Its refined tuning delivers confident acceleration in traffic while keeping engine noise and vibration in check—especially welcome on longer drives or when you are carrying passengers. Trax’s smooth power delivery makes merging and passing feel natural, while its compact footprint and precise steering reward you with easy maneuverability in parking lots and tight neighborhood streets. Pair that with the calm ride and Active Noise Cancellation noted in the lineup, and the 2026 Trax gives you a composed commute and relaxed highway cruising.

Chevy Safety Assist

Confidence comes first in the Trax thanks to standard Chevy Safety Assist. This suite bundles technologies designed to help you anticipate and respond to the road. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking provide warnings and can help reduce the severity of a front-end collision. Front Pedestrian Braking can help detect a pedestrian directly ahead and, if necessary, provide hard emergency braking. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning helps you stay centered on straightaways and gently alerts you if you drift without signaling. A Following Distance Indicator shows a time gap to the vehicle ahead, encouraging safer driving habits, while IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist automatically toggles your high beams for better nighttime visibility. Together, these systems support your attention and help make every trip less stressful.

11-inch center HD touch-screen

Available on select trims, the 11-inch center HD touch-screen transforms the cabin into a user-friendly command center. The crisp, high-resolution display makes it easier to glance at navigation, music, and vehicle menus, and the interface is designed to be both familiar and fast. Pair it with the 8-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center on compatible trims, and the Trax surrounds you with accessible information where you want it—right in your line of sight or within effortless reach. For drivers who rely on turn-by-turn directions, playlists, and hands-free calling to get through the day, this larger display meaningfully improves the in-vehicle experience.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™

Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ make setup straightforward—no cords and no fuss. Your go-to apps for navigation, podcasts, and messaging come to life on the touch-screen so you can focus on driving. For those who want to streamline even further, available wireless charging eliminates cable clutter on compatible smartphones, and an available built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot helps passengers stay connected. It all adds up to a tech suite that supports the pace of modern life—especially valuable for families running between work, school, practices, and weekend plans.

Flexible cargo and seating

Trax is a packaging standout. With seating for five that fits most adults comfortably, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and up to 54 cu. ft. of max cargo space, it flexes for whatever the day brings. Fold down one section to carry longer items and a passenger, or drop both sides when you need maximum room for gear. From grocery runs to tailgate supplies and camping equipment, Trax accommodates your plans without drama. Available features like a Remote vehicle starter system and Automatic climate controls add a layer of day-to-day convenience, while thoughtful storage touches throughout the cabin keep essentials right where you need them. Whether you choose the sporty 2RS with its race-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel and red interior accents or the bold ACTIV with Titanium chrome exterior accents and blackout wheels, you will get the same smart utility that makes Trax easy to live with.
