Engine Options & Performance

Every 2026 Trax features the same proven powertrain: a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder Ecotec engine producing 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. This efficient engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) configuration. The result? Impressive fuel economy ratings of 28 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined.

With a curb weight ranging from 2,983 to 3,040 pounds, depending on trim, the Chevy Trax feels nimble and responsive in urban environments. The 13.2-gallon fuel tank provides excellent range between fill-ups, making it ideal for commuters in La Porte, IN, who want to minimize stops at the gas station.

Interior Amenities

Climb inside the Chevy Trax and discover a surprisingly spacious cabin that seats five comfortably. The 106.3-inch wheelbase contributes to a roomy interior despite the compact exterior dimensions. Available amenities include:

  • Heated front seats and steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support (2RS and ACTIV)
  • Automatic climate control (1RS and above)
  • 60/40 split-folding rear seats for cargo flexibility

Storage solutions abound throughout the cabin, making it easy to keep your daily essentials organized and within reach.
