The 2026 Chevrolet Trax continues to deliver practical transportation for Ontario drivers, combining efficient performance with modern technology in a compact package. This small SUV offers four distinct trim levels, each designed to meet different needs while maintaining the value and reliability Chevrolet customers expect.

Whether you’re navigating city streets or planning weekend getaways across Ontario, the Trax provides the space, features, and capability to handle daily driving with confidence.

What Powertrains Are Available?

The 2026 Trax features a unified powertrain across all trim levels. Every model comes equipped with the ECOTEC 1.2 L Turbo inline-3 engine, producing 137 hp and 162 lb-ft. This turbocharged engine pairs with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive configuration.

The powertrain delivers fuel economy ratings of 8.5 L/100 km city and 7.6 L/100 km highway, with a combined rating of 8.1 L/100 km. The 50-litre fuel tank provides adequate range for extended trips across the province.

Standard features include automatic stop/start technology and active aero shutters, both designed to optimize efficiency during everyday driving. The engine also includes electronic fuel system management and an engine air filter life monitor.

Which Trims Can I Choose From?

The 2026 Trax lineup includes four distinct trim levels, each offering unique styling and equipment:

1RS – Starting at $29,833, this trim features RS exterior styling with unique badging, 18-inch Black painted machined aluminum wheels, and an 8-inch colour touchscreen. The 1RS includes a wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel and a 3.5-inch driver information centre.

LT – Starting at $30,833, the LT upgrades to 17-inch Grey painted machined aluminum wheels, an 11-inch HD touchscreen, and an 8-inch digital driver information centre. This trim adds body-colour mirror caps, automatic climate control, and a 6-speaker audio system. The LT also includes standard roof-mounted side rails and keyless open/start functionality.

2RS – Starting at $33,033, the 2RS pairs RS styling with premium features. This trim includes 19-inch Black painted machined aluminum wheels, an 8-way power driver seat, and the same 11-inch HD touchscreen and 8-inch driver information centre found in the LT.

ACTIV – Also starting at $33,033, the ACTIV trim features unique exterior badging and 18-inch Black painted aluminum wheels. This trim includes an 8-way power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar adjustment, offering the most supportive seating in the lineup.

What Technology Features Are Standard?

All 2026 Trax models include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, allowing smooth smartphone integration without cables. The system supports Wi-Fi Hotspot capability when paired with an OnStar plan.

The LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trims feature the 11-inch HD touchscreen as standard equipment, providing clear graphics and intuitive menu navigation. These trims also include wireless charging capability, eliminating the need for charging cables during daily commutes.

Every Trax includes remote start functionality, allowing drivers to precondition the cabin before entering the vehicle. USB ports are standard in the front, while LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trims add charging-only rear ports for passenger convenience.

The 8-inch digital driver information centre on LT and above provides customizable displays for vehicle information, trip data, and driver assistance system status. All models include a SiriusXM trial subscription for satellite radio access.

How Spacious Is the Interior?

The Trax provides comfortable seating for five passengers with generous dimensions throughout the cabin. Front occupants enjoy 1,064 mm of legroom and 1,006 mm of headroom, while rear passengers have 983 mm of legroom and 968 mm of headroom.

Cargo capacity measures 724 litres with the rear seats in place, expanding to 1,532 litres when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are lowered. This flexibility allows drivers to configure the space based on their current hauling needs.

All trims include heated front seats and a heated steering wheel as standard equipment, providing comfort during Ontario winters. The front centre console includes an armrest and storage compartments, while carpeted floor mats come standard in both rows.

Climate control varies by trim: the 1RS features single-zone manual climate control, while LT, 2RS, and ACTIV models upgrade to single-zone automatic climate control with a humidity and windshield temperature sensor.

What Safety Systems Come Standard?

Chevrolet Safety Assist comes standard on every 2026 Trax, providing a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Forward Collision Alert
• Following Distance Indicator
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• IntelliBeam auto high-beam assist

Additional standard safety features include an HD rear vision camera, rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, and rear park assist. The Teen Driver system allows parents to set speed and audio volume limits while monitoring driving habits.

Every Trax includes six airbags, three-point seat belts at all positions with front tensioners, and the LATCH child seat anchor system. The tire pressure monitoring system includes tire fill alert, notifying drivers when tires reach the correct pressure during inflation.

What About Fuel Economy and Range?

The 2026 Trax achieves identical fuel economy ratings across all trim levels thanks to the unified powertrain. The 8.5 L/100 km city and 7.6 L/100 km highway ratings provide predictable operating costs for budget-conscious drivers.

With the 50-litre fuel tank, drivers can expect approximately 588 kilometres of city driving or 658 kilometres of highway driving between fill-ups. The combined rating of 8.1 L/100 km translates to roughly 617 kilometres of mixed driving range.

The turbocharged engine delivers its torque output at 2,500 rpm, providing responsive acceleration when merging or passing on Ontario highways. The automatic stop/start system helps reduce fuel consumption during city driving by shutting off the engine at complete stops.

What Packages and Options Are Available?

Several packages allow drivers to customise their Trax to match their preferences:

The Blackout Package for the LT trim adds black bowtie emblems, black centre caps, and a black Trax nameplate for a coordinated appearance. The True North Edition for the LT provides Canada-focused convenience and appearance content.

The Sunroof Package is available across all trims, adding a power sunroof for increased natural light and ventilation. The Interior Protection Package includes all-weather floor liners and additional protective accessories.

Individual options include a power sunroof (available on all trims) and a block heater for cold-weather starting assistance. The LT Convenience Package adds several comfort features, while appearance packages offer additional customization possibilities.

Can the Trax Tow or Haul Cargo?

The Chevrolet Trax is not designed or intended to tow a trailer. The vehicle’s engineering focuses on passenger comfort and cargo hauling rather than trailer towing capability.

For cargo hauling, the Trax offers 724 litres of space behind the rear seats, suitable for groceries, sports equipment, or luggage for weekend trips. When additional space is needed, the 60/40 split-folding rear seats expand capacity to 1,532 litres.

The GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is 1,880 kg (4,145 lb), establishing the maximum permissible weight of the vehicle including passengers, cargo, and all equipment. A front recovery hook comes standard on all models.

What Warranty Coverage Is Included?

Every 2026 Trax includes comprehensive warranty protection:

• Comprehensive warranty: 36 months / 60,000 km
• Powertrain warranty: 60 months / 100,000 km
• Roadside assistance: 60 months / 100,000 km
• Corrosion warranty: 72 months / 160,000 km

The powertrain warranty covers the engine, transmission, and drive components for five years or 100,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first. Roadside assistance provides 24/7 support including towing, flat tire changes, and emergency fuel delivery.

The corrosion warranty protects against rust-through perforation for six years or 160,000 kilometres, demonstrating Chevrolet’s confidence in the vehicle’s construction and protective coatings designed for Canadian climate conditions.
