Fall has officially arrived, and if you're thinking about an invigorating, foliage-filled road trip, you need the right vehicle for the job—and one that won’t break the bank. The 2026 Chevy Trax might be exactly the compact SUV you've been looking for. With outstanding fuel economy, 5 trims to choose from, a versatile and surprisingly spacious interior, and a long list of standard features, it’s ready for anything. Whether you're sticking close to Portage or venturing further for a weekend getaway, the Trax is built to keep up with your lifestyle—and not stretch your budget. Bold Design That Fits Your Personality The 2026 Chevy Trax looks good as it gets you where you need to go. Its 5 distinct trims offer something for just about every style preference. The adventurous ACTIV trim features Titanium chrome exterior accents and bold Yellow interior touches, while the RS trims lean into a sportier look with red interior accents, a race-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel, black badges, and 2-tone wheels. There's also a Midnight Edition available on the LT trim, featuring High Gloss Black mirror caps, grille bar, roof rails, and 17” High Gloss Black wheels for a sharp, head-turning finish. Safety Comes Standard Every 2026 Chevrolet Trax includes standard Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of 6 driver assistance features designed to give you confidence behind the wheel. Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Following Distance Indicator heighten your awareness, and if you don’t respond in time, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Automatic Emergency Braking step in to steer or brake for you. IntelliBeam® high beam assist is also included, giving you visibility when you need it without blinding oncoming traffic. Available features like Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert add even more peace of mind which is especially helpful when fall road trip prep means longer drives and unfamiliar roads. Technology That Keeps You Connected The 2026 Chevrolet Trax is designed to work with your digital life. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility means your phone integrates seamlessly from the moment you get in. Your apps, playlists, navigation tools, and contacts for hands-free calls are all ready to go. The LT trim and above come with an upgraded 11” color touchscreen, and higher trims also offer wireless charging and a built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot. For drivers in Portage, Wisconsin who depend on staying connected during commutes or weekend trips, this level of technology at this price point is hard to beat. Comfort, Cargo, and Everyday Efficiency The Trax seats 5 adults comfortably, offering nearly 42” of front legroom and 38.7” in back. Even when you’re traveling with a full house, you’ll have a surprising 25.6 cu. ft. of cargo space for duffel bags, camping chairs, and a cooler. Fold the rear seats down and that opens up to 54 cu. ft. That’s enough for camping gear and even a dog crate. The 60/40 split-folding rear seat gives you flexibility whether you're carrying passengers, luggage, or both. The smart design includes its highly efficient engine. The ECOTEC® 1.2L turbo engine produces 137 hp and 162 lbs.-ft. of torque, giving you plenty of pickup for highway merging. But this engine is efficiency-first, delivering an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined. Combined with the Trax’s approachable starting price, you’ve got a vehicle that’s as smart to drive as it is fun.
