2026 Chevrolet Trax Buyer’s Guide in Eldersburg, MD

Not only is the 2026 Chevrolet Trax a stylish subcompact SUV, but it is one filled to the brim with utility. Explore its various trim levels, performance abilities, and technological capacities with us at Antwerpen Chevrolet! Afterward, you can speak with our Finance Department about our purchasing options. 

Trim Levels

The Trax comes with five different trim levels, which include the LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS, and ACTIV. Despite this, they all come with the same engine, drivetrain, and transmission, so they will handle relatively similarly. Where they differ is in their conveniences, such as some of the later models having optional wireless charging systems¹ and heated steering wheels. Because of this, choosing your preferred edition of the Chevrolet Trax is a matter of selecting which utilities you'd like to bring on your Liberty Road drives. 

Performance

As mentioned prior, every trim level of the 2026 Trax has a standard 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that can expel up to 137 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque. This is accompanied by a standard 6-speed automatic transmission and FWD layout, so you can expect your rides to consume less fuel. This results in a 28/32/30 MPG city/hwy/combined² EPA-estimated rating, so you can travel for longer without as much concern for needing to make a pitstop. And if you come across any uneven terrain, the standard MacPherson strut front and compound crank rear suspension systems will mitigate any discomfort. 

Technology

There's no shortage of tech for the 2026 Chevrolet Trax. It features an optional 8.0-inch color driver information center, so you can view important details with just a glance. You can pair this with the available 11.0-inch HD color touchscreen so that you can have plenty of space to swipe on when configuring infotainment. Speaking of this, there's an available 6-speaker sound system present so that you can enjoy your favorite tunes while on the go. The standard Wi-Fi® hotspot³ will keep you connected during your visits to Hodges Park too. 

Safety

Safety is in no short supply for this SUV. It features standard driver-assist features such as the Automatic Emergency Braking⁴ system, which halts your car's movement to avoid an impact. Preceding this will be visual and audio cues from the Forward Collision Alert⁴ function, so you'll know when to press on the brakes ahead of time. There's also Lane Keep Assist⁴, which will correct your positioning within a street so that you do not cross over road markings unknowingly. And to keep little ones in the back safely secured, there's a LATCH point system to help do so. Explore our current incentives for the Chevrolet Trax today!
