The 2026 Chevrolet Trax lineup is sincere. There are 5 trims—LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS, and ACTIV—all sharing the same Turbocharged engine and FWD layout, with the differences concentrated on equipment, technology, and appearance. For drivers around Lihue, HI, that makes choosing among the 2026 Chevy Trax trim levels is about deciding which combination of equipment suits the way the vehicle will be used. LS Covers More Than the Basics LS establishes the Trax formula without stripping away the equipment most drivers will regularly use. Chevy Safety Assist is standard and includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, LED headlamps, and Active Noise Cancellation are also included. It's the straightforward Trax: the same passenger and cargo fundamentals as the rest of the range, without paying for cosmetic additions that may hold little interest. 1RS and 2RS Turn Up the Visual Volume The RS models take a sportier approach, though the changes are principally visual rather than mechanical. The 1RS brings RS exterior detailing, black bowtie emblems, red interior accents, and 18-inch machined two-tone wheels. The 2RS develops the same theme with 19-inch machined two-tone wheels and a flat-bottom steering wheel. Because every Trax uses the same basic powertrain, choosing either RS is largely about preferring its appearance and cabin treatment. The 2RS simply carries that idea further. LT Concentrates on Equipment You'll Notice Every Day LT finds its own path. Instead of making the Trax look more aggressive, it adds technology and convenience equipment that becomes apparent each time you drive it. An 11-inch diagonal color touchscreen is paired with an 8-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, while automatic climate control and remote start add convenience. It rides on 17-inch machined two-tone wheels, giving it a more restrained appearance than the RS models. Among the Chevy Trax models, LT makes a strong case for buyers more interested in cabin equipment than exterior decoration. ACTIV Gives the Trax Its Own Look ACTIV sits alongside 2RS as another distinctive interpretation of the Trax. It uses 18-inch black-painted aluminum wheels, a black grille with Titanium chrome accents, ACTIV badging, and unique interior detailing. Despite the more rugged visual treatment, ACTIV shares the Trax's FWD configuration, so it shouldn't be confused with an off-road derivative. Its appeal is simpler: it gives buyers who don't want the RS treatment another way to make the Trax look less conventional. The Mechanical Package Remains Consistent Every 2026 Trax uses an ECOTEC 1.2L Turbocharged 3-cylinder producing 137 hp and 162 lbs. ft. of torque, with FWD across the lineup. That common foundation makes the trim decision easier because moving upward doesn't require choosing a different engine. The Trax also provides up to 54 cu. ft. of maximum cargo capacity with the 60/40 split-folding rear seat lowered. Depending on trim and equipment, Chevy Trax SUV features can include the 11-inch center display, wireless charging, and Wi-Fi® hotspot capability.
