2026 Chevrolet Trax: Trims, Specs, and What's New

Shop 2026 Trax Inventory

The 2026 Chevrolet Trax carries its turbocharged 1.2L three-cylinder engine into the new model year, producing 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. All five trims deliver 28 city / 32 highway MPG, making it one of the more fuel-efficient entries in the subcompact SUV segment. This page covers every trim, spec, and standard feature so you can compare models and check live inventory at Umansky Chevrolet.

 

What's New for 2026

The 2026 Trax continues the architecture introduced in the third-generation redesign, refining the five-trim lineup without wholesale changes to the powertrain or platform. Every trim still runs the ECOTEC 1.2L turbocharged inline three-cylinder, and every trim still returns 30 combined MPG. The ACTIV and 2RS trims retain their position as the feature-forward choices, each adding the 11-inch HD touchscreen, an 8-way power driver seat, and heated front seats as standard equipment. The Midnight Edition appearance package remains available on the LT, adding a blacked-out look without changing the mechanical spec.

 

Chevy Safety Assist stays standard across the entire lineup, meaning every buyer regardless of trim gets automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist, and front pedestrian braking at no extra cost. Teen Driver technology and Rear Seat Reminder also carry over as standard on all five trims.

Trim Lineup

The 2026 Trax offers five distinct trims, each targeting a different buyer priority.

2026 Chevrolet Trax LS Trim

LS

 

is the entry point. It includes an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a four-speaker audio system, standard AEB and lane keep assist, a 6-way manual driver seat, and cloth seating. Remote start and heated mirrors are optional. The LS Convenience Package adds features including heated front seats and additional convenience items.

2026 Chevrolet Trax 1rs trim

1RS

 

matches the LS in base price but adds RS-specific exterior styling, including front and rear lower fascias with RS trim, high-gloss black mirror caps, 18-inch black painted machined aluminum wheels, and a wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel. It keeps the 8-inch touchscreen and four-speaker audio. Shoppers who want the sporty look without jumping to the 2RS price point will find the 1RS a strong value.

2026 Chevrolet Trax LT Trim

LT

 

moves to a six-speaker audio system, the 11-inch HD touchscreen, an 8-inch digital Driver Information Center, single-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and push-button start. Silver-painted front and rear lower fascias and signature LED daytime running lamps give it a cleaner exterior finish. The LT Convenience Package and Sunroof Package are available add-ons.

2026 Chevrolet Trax 2rs trim

2RS

 

combines the LT's interior technology with the RS sporty exterior package. Standard on the 2RS are the 19-inch black painted machined aluminum wheels, roof-mounted side rails, an 8-way power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar, heated power outside mirrors, keyless entry, and a front passenger seatback map pocket. The wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel and cargo cover also come standard here.

2026 Chevrolet Trax ACTIV trim

ACTIV

 

is the outdoors-oriented trim. It shares the 2RS price point and adds ACTIV-specific exterior badging, 18-inch black painted aluminum wheels, and the distinctive Jet Black with Artemis accents or Yellow accents Evotex seat trim options. The wrapped steering wheel (round, not flat-bottom), ACTIV badge, and roof rails round out the look. The 8-way power driver seat, 11-inch HD touchscreen, and full LT-level tech are all standard.

Chevrolet safety technology overview

Who the 2026 Trax Is For

The 2026 Trax is built for buyers who want a right-sized, fuel-efficient subcompact SUV with a full suite of standard technology. At 178.6 inches long, it fits easily in urban parking around Glendale while still offering 54.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. The 30 combined MPG rating keeps fuel costs predictable.

 

Buyers stepping up from a 2024 or 2025 Trax will find the 2026 lineup consistent in powertrain and dimensions, with the trim structure remaining clearly defined. Buyers cross-shopping from older generation Trax models will notice the larger screens, the standard wireless CarPlay, and the significantly expanded cargo volume compared to the pre-redesign platform.

 

The 1RS is the pick for anyone who wants the sporty exterior aesthetic without paying for LT-level interior upgrades. The LT is the balanced choice. The ACTIV suits buyers who want a distinct identity and the comfort features without the RS sport styling.
