Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax

ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo Engine

The heart of the Trax is its capable ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine, tuned for smooth response in city traffic and confident merging on the highway. Its turbocharged character helps deliver eager acceleration at lower speeds while maintaining relaxed, efficient cruising. That balance is a perfect match for daily life across the Palouse, where quick turnarounds and varied elevation are part of the drive. The engine’s compact design contributes to a light, nimble feel, and careful calibration reduces vibrations and harshness inside the cabin. The result is an easygoing, composed demeanor that makes long days more comfortable and tight urban maneuvers less stressful. Paired with front-wheel drive and intelligent traction and stability systems, the Trax emphasizes control and predictability in a variety of everyday conditions.

Chevy Safety Assist

Confidence comes built in thanks to Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced safety and driver assistance features included on every Trax. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking are designed to help you react to potential front-end collisions, while Front Pedestrian Braking adds an extra layer of awareness in busy areas. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning works to keep you centered on the road, and a Following Distance Indicator helps you maintain space to the vehicle ahead. Rounding out the suite, IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist automatically toggles your headlamps for improved nighttime visibility. These features work in the background to support attentive driving, helping you arrive at your destination with greater peace of mind.

11-inch Diagonal Color Touch-Screen

Select Trax trims step up with an 11-inch diagonal color touch-screen that anchors the dashboard with a crisp, responsive interface. Paired with an 8-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center, the system brings a modern, cohesive look and feel to the cockpit. Menu structures are thoughtfully organized, minimizing taps to reach your most-used functions. The larger display makes maps, playlists, and app icons easy to read at a glance, which is especially helpful on unfamiliar routes or when coordinating family schedules on the fly. Voice control integration allows quick hands-free adjustments, and steering-wheel controls put essentials right under your thumbs. It all adds up to a tech experience that supports the drive instead of distracting from it.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™

Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ mean your commute starts connected the moment you get in. Without cables, the cabin stays uncluttered and your phone remains safely tucked away. Access your messages, music, and favorite navigation apps with intuitive overlays tailored to each ecosystem. Available wireless charging lets you replenish your device while streaming, and the available built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot keeps passengers connected for work or entertainment. For families and busy professionals alike, the Trax offers a seamless digital handoff between life and the road.

Flexible Cargo and Seating

Every inch of the Trax interior is put to work. With five seats that fit most adults comfortably, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and up to 54 cu. ft. of max cargo space, you can adapt the cabin to your needs in a snap. Tall boxes, hockey bags, college move-in totes—bring them on. The rear seatbacks fold nearly flat to maximize usable space, and wide-opening doors make loading easier when you are parked on a busy street. Clever storage touches throughout the cabin help keep small items organized and within reach. Whether you’re juggling backpacks and groceries, or packing for a weekend away, the Trax makes versatility feel effortless.
