2025 vs. 2026 Chevy Trax: What's the Difference
Chevrolet made a big splash with the recent redesign. As such, the 2026 Trax carries over with only a few cosmetic tweaks to its successful formula. Two new paint colors—Apex Red and White Sands—join the lineup, replacing the outgoing Crimson Metallic and Nitro Yellow Metallic.
Performance
All 2026 Trax models come equipped with a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, rated at 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. This setup is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels and helps strike a balance between responsiveness and efficiency.
Thanks to this efficient drivetrain, the Trax achieves an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined (28 mpg city / 32 mpg highway). Steering is light and accurate, while the well-tuned suspension ensures a comfortable and well-mannered ride.
Interior and Practicality
Despite its compact footprint, the 2026 Trax is impressively spacious inside. The cabin design emphasizes functionality and simplicity, offering supportive seating, intuitive controls, and smart storage options. There's ample headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers, plus 25.6 cubic feet to spare for cargo behind the second row. When your Crystal City outings require more storage, you can fold the rear seats to reveal 54.1 cubic feet.
The 2026 Chevy Trax offers numerous comforts and conveniences across its trim lineup, including available amenities like:
- Heated front seats
- Power-adjustable driver's seat
- Keyless entry and remote start
- Automatic climate control
- Heated steering wheel
- Sunroof
Technology
Chevy's latest infotainment platform makes it easy to stay connected on the go. LS and 1RS trim levels feature an 8-inch color touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, eliminating the need for cables while providing intuitive access to music, navigation, and hands-free calls. Higher tiers upgrade to a larger 11-inch touchscreen along with an 8-inch fully digital instrument cluster. No matter what configuration you choose, you'll receive Chevy Safety Assist driver aids like:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Following Distance Indicator
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Keep Assist
- IntelliBeam automatic high beams
Additional assistive technologies are available via the Driver Confidence Package, including features like Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
