Chevrolet Trax
Under the hood, every Trax model is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that churns out 137 horsepower and 162-pound feet of torque. This engine works in harmony with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, striking a great balance between performance and fuel efficiency, perfect for navigating both city streets and suburban roads. Its EPA rating of 28 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway is excellent.
The 2026 Chevrolet Trax is available in five different trims: LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS, and ACTIV. This vehicle is designed to cater to a variety of customer tastes, combining the rugged look of an SUV with the nimbleness and agility of a hatchback. When it comes to cargo space, the Trax really shines. You get a solid 25.6 cubic feet behind the second row, and if you fold down the rear seats, which expands to an impressive 54.1 cubic feet.
Buyers will likely be surprised by the level of standard equipment that comes on the base LS. An infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, Wi-Fi hotspot technology, remote keyless entry, power windows and door locks, LED headlamps, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, 2 USB ports and 17-inch wheels. The 1RS adds 18-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, and a remote engine starter.
