2026 Chevrolet Trax

The Trax lineup is structured so each trim delivers a distinct interpretation of capability and refinement. The LS sets a strong baseline with standard Chevy Safety Assist, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, LED lighting, and active noise cancellation for a complete experience from the start. The 1RS adds a sport-oriented design with 18-inch wheels, black exterior accents, RS badging, and red interior details, giving it visual contrast while remaining practical for everyday drives around Orangeburg. The LT emphasizes convenience, with an 11-inch touchscreen, 8-inch Driver Information Center, remote start, and automatic climate control for a more resolved cabin experience. The 2RS builds on the RS identity with 19-inch wheels and expanded blacked-out styling for a sharper, cohesive look. ACTIV introduces black-painted wheels, Titanium chrome accents, and unique interior finishes, giving a slightly rugged aesthetic without straying from urban usability.

The Trax comes with a 1.2L Turbocharged engine producing 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, paired with FWD. It is designed for consistency and smooth power delivery, making it ideal for commutes along SC-3, trips into downtown Orangeburg, or short drives to nearby communities like St. Matthews or Eutawville. Fuel economy reaches an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined, supporting longer drives without constant stops. There is no AWD and no towing capacity, which keeps the Trax focused on efficiency and everyday practicality. The Trax excels when left to do its job. Acceleration is measured and predictable, easy to handle on city streets, local highways, and school runs. Steering is light and accurate, perfect for tight parking lots and side streets in Orangeburg, while the suspension absorbs common pavement imperfections, maintaining a smooth and comfortable ride. Though not designed for off-road use, it handles minor surface changes and uneven pavement with quiet competence.

Inside, the Trax maximizes space efficiently. Seating for 5 feels natural within a cabin that emphasizes openness and ease of movement. Cargo capacity reaches 54 cu. ft. with the rear seats folded, providing flexible storage for groceries, sports gear, or weekend luggage for trips to Lake Marion State Park. The 60/40 split-folding rear bench allows quick adjustments between passengers and cargo. Material quality is practical and durable, with higher trims offering more refined finishes and accents without compromising everyday functionality.

Technology in the Trax is intuitive and purposeful. The 11-inch touchscreen and 8-inch Driver Information Center display key information clearly. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure seamless connectivity for music, navigation, and apps. Available wireless charging and Wi-Fi® hotspot extend functionality for passengers on longer drives around Orangeburg, or for connecting devices during commutes to Columbia, SC.

Safety is a priority across the Trax lineup. Chevy Safety Assist comes standard and includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® automatic high beams. Optional features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert further enhance awareness whether navigating local streets, highways like I-95, or longer regional trips.
