2026 Chevy Trax Trims Comparison
Which 2026 Trax trim does Edmunds recommend?
Chevrolet hasn't released official information on the 2026 Trax as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Trax, the midrange LT trim hits the bull's-eye when it comes to balancing features and price. It upgrades to a much larger infotainment touchscreen, digital instrument panel, and a better audio system, and it's eligible for a heated steering wheel and front seats.
2026 Trax trim level differences
[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Trax. We expect the 2026 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Trax is available in five trim levels: LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS and Activ. All are powered by the same 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine (137 horsepower, 162 lb-ft) paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Unlike some other small SUVs, all-wheel drive is not available. Here are the feature highlights for each trim:
