2026 Chevrolet Trax Colors, Dimensions, Engine  –  A more roomy and aesthetically pleasing 2026 Chevrolet Trax is the result of a thorough overhaul. The base LS trim level of the Trax is priced at $23,699 and comes with a non-negotiable $2,000 delivery fee. There are five more trim levels to choose from. Prices start at $25,199 for the 1RS and $28,099 for the LT. Ascending the ranks is its goal. My go-around was with the sportier 2RS, although the highest trim is the Activ, which is also available. These two options cost $30,199. To the tune of $32,454 (pre-tax), I was able to exercise my option on my tester. 2026 Chevrolet Trax Colors

2026 Chevrolet Trax Redesign and Update Plan

Exterior and Interior

As standard equipment, the Activ has adaptive cruise control, a cargo privacy cover, heated seats and steering wheel, single-zone controlled temperature control, satellite radio, heated mirrors, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity, and roof rails. Even on the more affordable Activ plans, you can find a few of these features. The sunroof and wireless charging were both available as add-ons for my test vehicle. 2026 Chevrolet Trax Colors

Even though it’s priced similarly, the 2RS stands out with its manual driver’s seat and 19-inch wheels, even though all other features are identical. Because of its unique motorized seat and the fact that smaller wheels usually provide a smoother ride and are cheaper for winter or replacement tires, I would choose the Activ.

2026 Chevrolet Trax  Specs

The new Trax is vastly superior to its predecessor in every way: length, width, and height. While the amount of headroom for the front seats is unchanged, the amount for the back seats is reduced by 19 millimeters (0.7 inches). Contrarily, the new Trax has a much larger load area, increasing from 530 L to 725 L. With the rear seats folded down, there is 1,532 liters of space—an increase from 1,371 liters before—and the low liftover makes loading things inside a breeze. Along with being significantly bigger than the Hyundai Venue and the Mazda CX-30, the increased cargo volume puts it within a liter or two of rivals like the Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, or Toyota Corolla Cross, all of which can manage cargo despite their diminutive size. 2026 Chevrolet Trax Colors

Engine and Performance

A six-speed automatic transmission couples with a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine standard across all Trax trim levels. There is a potential for 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque from this engine. When paired with a tiny engine, these units can make a droning noise and have a rubbery feel, making them preferable to the other option—an automated continuously variable gearbox (CVT).

The engine’s surprising nimbleness in the city and effective acceleration from stoplights belie its modest size. Highway passing is where it really shines; you really shouldn’t expect to be able to drive out in front of fast-approaching automobilesand go away unscathed. Like much of the subcompact market, you’ll have to learn to live with its limits. 2026 Chevrolet Trax Colors

2026 Chevrolet Trax  Fuel Economy

In city driving, the 2026 Chevrolet Trax achieves 8.3 L/100 km, while on highways it drops to 7.4 L/100 km and in mixed-use it drops to 7.9 L/100 km, as reported by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). I averaged 8.2 gallons per hundred kilometers throughout the week that I had it. Regular gasoline is used to power it. At 7.2 liters per hundred kilometers, the Nissan Kicks has the lowest fuel consumption, while the Kia Soul comes in at 7.8 liters per hundred kilometers, which is the closest to the Trax. Compared to most of its front-wheel drive rivals, its combined-driving number is marginally higher. 2026 Chevrolet Trax Colors

2026 Chevrolet Trax  Safety Features

As of the writing of this article of the US had tested the updated 2026 Chevrolet Trax in an accident. Emergency front braking with pedestrian identification, lane-keep assist, a high-definition backup camera, a rear-seat reminder, automatic high-beam lighting, teen driver control, and a variety of other features are standard across all trim levels.  2026 Chevrolet Trax Colors

2026 Chevrolet Trax  Price and Release Date

The Trax is available for as little as $23,699 and as much as $30,199. At $22,574 and $23,728 respectively, it is priced above its front-wheel drive (FWD) rivals, the Hyundai Venue and the Nissan Kicks. In contrast, the base price of a Kia Soul is around $24,795 and that of a Kia Seltos is around $27,195. Before taxes and fees, you can get a Hyundai Kona for $27,934 or a Toyota Corolla Cross for $28,220.

My first impression of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax, after a week behind the wheel, remains unchanged: it is a class-leading marvel. Not only is it reasonably priced, but it is also aesthetically pleasing, spacious, great at managing freight, and an absolute joy to drive. It may be Chevrolet’s entry-level vehicle across the board, but it looks, feels, and performs quite different from the base model.  2026 Chevrolet Trax Colors
