Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax

Chevy Safety Assist

Every Trax includes Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced features designed to help you drive with added peace of mind. Forward Collision Alert can warn you of a potential front-end collision, while Automatic Emergency Braking can help reduce the severity or avoid an impact at lower speeds. Front Pedestrian Braking can provide hard braking or enhance the driver’s braking to help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian ahead. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning helps gently guide you back if you unintentionally drift out of your lane. Following Distance Indicator helps you maintain a safe gap to traffic ahead, and IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist automatically toggles high beams on and off with oncoming traffic and changing conditions. These systems are intuitive, operate quietly in the background, and are standard—so you don’t have to climb trims to get core driver assistance.

ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo

The Trax’s ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine is tuned for confident everyday driving. Its low-end torque makes city takeoffs smooth and highway merges stress-free, while the small displacement turbo design is optimized for efficiency. Whether you’re cruising around town or heading out for a longer drive, throttle response feels predictable and refined. Because the engine doesn’t need to be revved hard to access usable power, it maintains an easygoing, quiet character in normal driving. Paired with smart transmission tuning, the powertrain balances efficiency-minded engineering with the practical acceleration you rely on day in and day out.

11-inch Center HD Touch-Screen

Available on select trims, the 11-inch center HD touch-screen transforms the Trax cabin into a modern, high-clarity command center. Graphics are crisp, menus are logically organized, and core functions like audio, phone, and vehicle settings are never more than a tap or two away. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ integrate your apps, calls, messages, and podcasts without a cable, keeping the dash uncluttered. Available wireless charging and a built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot add flexibility for busy households, workdays that never really end, and road trips with friends. The result is a user experience that feels premium, familiar, and genuinely helpful on every drive.

Flexible Cargo Space

Trax is deceptively roomy. With up to 54 cu. ft. of max cargo space, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and a flat load floor when the seats are folded, it’s ready for everything from weekly grocery runs to weekend projects. The rear seatback angle is designed for comfort during longer rides, and the cabin layout includes pockets and trays that make it easy to stash small items. With seating for five adults, the Trax pulls double duty as a commuter and a family shuttle, showing its versatility every time you need to carry a mix of people and gear. The liftgate opening and cargo area dimensions are thoughtfully shaped to handle bulky items without a wrestling match.

RS and ACTIV Design Details

Trax gives you distinct personalities to choose from. RS trims dial up the sporty attitude with RS badging, a unique grille, Black bowtie emblems, and available 19-inch machined two-tone wheels on 2RS, complemented by Red interior accents and a race-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel. ACTIV leans into elevated style with Titanium chrome exterior accents, blackout wheels, and striking Yellow interior touches. The wheel designs, lighting signatures, and color palette—including Cacti Green, White Sands, Summit White, Mosaic Black Metallic, Marina Blue Metallic, and Sterling Gray Metallic—let you make the exact statement you want. Each trim not only looks different, but also feels distinct from the driver’s seat.
