Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax

Chevy Safety Assist

Confidence is built into every Trax thanks to standard Chevy Safety Assist. This suite includes Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking to help detect potential frontal collisions and can apply hard emergency braking at higher speeds, Front Pedestrian Braking to help mitigate or avoid pedestrian impacts ahead, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning to help you stay centered, and a Following Distance Indicator that shows gap time to the vehicle you’re following. IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist rounds out the package by automatically toggling high and low beams to help improve visibility. Together, these features support attentive driving with alerts and active assistance, making the Trax feel reassuring from your first mile — whether you’re navigating busy city streets or heading out on your next weekend drive.

ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine

The ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine underscores how efficiently Trax moves through your day. Tuned to deliver responsive low- and mid-range torque, it gives you easy takeoffs and confident merges without needing to work the throttle hard. That friendly power delivery makes city traffic less tiring and open-road cruising smooth and composed. Paired with a transmission calibrated for everyday drivability, the powertrain balances brisk response with the efficiency you want for commuting and road trips. It’s the kind of setup you feel right away — quiet, eager, and well-matched to the small SUV’s footprint — making the Trax both relaxed and ready when you need to get going.

11-inch diagonal color touch-screen

An available 11-inch diagonal color touch-screen anchors the Trax tech experience with crisp graphics and a layout that’s easy to learn at a glance. The large screen size means bigger touch targets and less distraction, while intuitive tiles help you jump between navigation, audio, and vehicle settings. Pair it with the available 8-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center on select trims to keep key data — from turn-by-turn directions to driver-assistance readouts — right in your line of sight. The interface is designed to feel modern without being complicated, so whether you’re setting a route, queuing up a playlist, or checking safety alerts, it all clicks quickly into place.

Flexible cargo space

Small SUV, big practicality. Trax provides up to 54 cu. ft. of max cargo space with the rear seats folded, so you can load larger items with confidence. The 60/40 split-folding rear seat lets you keep a passenger onboard while still handling long or bulky cargo, and the wide hatch opening makes it easier to angle in boxes, small furniture, or sports gear. Day to day, the rear seat fits most adults comfortably, making carpools or weekend outings more relaxed for everyone. From grocery runs to gear for a quick getaway, the flexible layout helps you do more with fewer trips and less juggling.

ACTIV and RS design

Trax wears its personality proudly. Choose ACTIV for Titanium chrome exterior accents, blackout wheels, and striking Yellow interior touches that bring confident style to every drive. Or step into the RS lineup — 1RS or 2RS — for Red interior accents, bold Black exterior details, and a race-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel that reinforces the sporty vibe. RS trims add visual punch with unique grilles and Black bowtie emblems, while ACTIV projects a refined, rugged aesthetic that stands out without trying too hard. Finish your look with colors like Cacti Green, White Sands, Mosaic Black Metallic, Marina Blue Metallic, Summit White, or Sterling Gray Metallic to make your Trax feel like it was made just for you.
