2026 Chevy Trax
The 2026 Chevy Trax is here, and at DePaula Chevrolet, you can check out all of the latest trims and configurations. This subcompact SUV offers flexibility and efficiency, all at an affordable price point. Our team knows the ins and outs of each model and can help you find the Trax that’s right for your drives.
We know that an SUV is a major purchase, and that you want a clear understanding of what the vehicle you are considering offers. Here’s an overview of the 2026 Trax, including its performance, safety, technology, and interior features. This will give you an idea of what your days behind the wheel of the Trax will look like and whether it’s the right SUV for you.
Chevrolet makes several popular SUVs. But when drivers tell us they need to stick to a strict budget while still unlocking exceptional benefits, we know the Trax is the right choice. Let’s get to know this fun and flexible vehicle!
Performance & Efficiency
The Trax is an efficient and safe SUV, perfect for navigating busy city streets, long stretches of freeway, and everything in between. It delivers a fun behind-the-wheel feel with responsive steering and solid horsepower. Where it really shines, however, is when it comes to fuel efficiency.
If you’re looking for the perfect small SUV for long commutes to work or big road trips, the Trax is it. It offers E85 flex-fuel capability, which gives drivers the option to use regular gas or E85, and can achieve an EPA-estimated 28 MPG in the city, 32 MPG on the highway, and 30 MPG combined.
With fuel efficiency like this, you can say yes to that dream job that’s a little farther away than you’d hoped for. You can also plan more road trips, without worrying about fuel costs eating away at your adventure budget.
Safety Features
The safety features in the 2026 Trax instill a higher level of confidence you’ll appreciate, wherever your drives take you. Chevy Safety Assist comes standard and includes these features:
- Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking notify you if you’re at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front of you, and activate the brakes if you fail to respond in time.
- Front Pedestrian Braking can detect a person on foot in front of your vehicle and automatically apply the brakes to help you avoid a collision.
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can read lane markers, detect when you’re drifting out of your lane, and even gently steer you back into your lane.
- Following Distance Indicator tells you how close you are to the vehicle in front of you, and can notify you if you’re following too closely.
- IntelliBeam High Beam Assist automatically turns on the high beams when you’re in a low-light setting, and turns them back off when it detects oncoming vehicles.
- HD Rear Vision Camera shows you real-time footage of everything occurring behind your vehicle.
- Teen Driver Technology encourages safer driving habits on the part of teens and produces a driver report card for parents to review.
- Rear Seat Reminder reminds you to check your backseat for valuables before exiting your vehicle.
In addition to the standard safety features, you can also select a wide range of available features. Chevy even makes many of these features available on the base LS trim, thanks to the optional Driver Confidence Package. You can add:
- Rear Park Assist adds sensors in your rear bumper that alert you to nearby obstacles when you’re parking.
- Adaptive Cruise Control maintains your desired speed and following distance, automatically compensating for slower traffic ahead.
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert notifies you of vehicles crossing behind you when you are in reverse.
- Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert monitors for and alerts you to vehicles in your blind spot.
Between the 2026 Trax’s standard and available safety features, you will have everything you need for total peace of mind when you hit the road. We’d love to take you for a test drive and show you some of these features in action.
Technology
Let’s dive into the technology, because the 2026 Trax is a tech-forward vehicle, made for those who want to get more done. You will likely be surprised by just how much tech this subcompact SUV brings to the table.
Screens
An eight-inch color touchscreen comes standard, and select trims have an available 11-inch HD color touchscreen for even more display area. These screens serve as the hub for the central infotainment system in the Chevy Trax.
Complementing the touchscreen is a digital driver information center. The standard size is 3.5 inches, and an eight-inch option is available. This is where you’ll find important vehicle information, such as fuel levels, speed, tire pressure, oil life, and warning icons. Between these two screens, all of the information you need is within your line of sight from the driver’s seat.
Smartphone Connectivity
Wireless smartphone connectivity is standard across the 2026 Trax lineup. So you can sync your smartphone with the touchscreen without plugging into a USB port. From there, you’ll find that your smartphone interface, complete with all your apps, appears on the infotainment screen for easy control and viewing.
Wireless smartphone charging is also available. Together with wireless smartphone connectivity, this creates the possibility of a completely cord-free driver center. However, USB ports are available for times when your passengers want to plug in their devices.
Built-In Wi-Fi
Everyone likes to stay connected on the road, especially during long trips. That’s why the 2026 Trax has an available Wi-Fi hotspot. You and your passengers can go online using your personal devices, without relying on your personal hotspots or your phone’s data plan.
On long road trips, adult passengers can respond to emails and get work done. Kids can handle homework assignments, play games, or stream shows. You can even ask passengers to be your navigator and look up the best places to get a meal or do some sightseeing along the way.
Interior Features
When you step inside the Trax, you will find that this small SUV defies expectations with plenty of space for passengers and cargo, as well as some premium features you might not expect.
Passenger & Cargo Space
The Trax’s interior might just surprise you. It can comfortably seat up to five people. On days when you don’t need all five seats but need more room for your belongings, you can use the 60/40 split-folding rear seat to create a little extra cargo space. You can also fold the rear seats down completely to create 54.1 cu.ft. of cargo space.
Upholstery Options
Want seats that look sleek and are easy to maintain? Certain Trax models have EvoTex seat trim. This leather-like upholstery lends an upscale aesthetic to your cabin and is stain-resistant. Plus, it stays temperature-neutral better than leather does, so it won’t overheat as much on hot days. Different trims even offer different seat accent colors to further personalize your vehicle.
Active Noise Cancellation
You’ll notice how quiet the inside of the Trax is. That’s thanks to its active noise cancellation. The feature’s in-cabin microphones detect unwanted noise and cancel it out. This makes it easier to chat with your passengers or enjoy the available six-speaker audio system.
Remote Start
Can’t stand the feeling of a hot car, or a cold one? Avoid both and take advantage of the Trax’s remote start. It’s a feature that lets you activate your vehicle’s climate control before you even get in. You can do so from a button on your key fob or from your myChevrolet mobile app.
Imagine how nice it would be to pre-cool your cabin on hot days and pre-warm it on cold days. There’s no reason you should have to sit through the discomfort of your climate control getting to work. Let your Trax handle that for you while you’re still inside your home, enjoying your breakfast.
