The 2026 Chevrolet Trax stands out in the compact SUV class. It's the only one with a *standard* turbocharged engine, delivering 162 lb-ft of torque-more than the Honda HR-V (138 lb-ft) or Hyundai Kona (132 lb-ft). The Trax also offers significantly more cargo space at 25.6 cubic feet versus 24.4 cu-ft in the HR-V and just 19.2 cu-ft in the Kona. Plus, the Trax comes standard with Active Noise Cancellation, a feature neither competitor offers. So you get more power, more room, and a quieter cabin-all standard. Stop by Markquart Motors in Chippewa Falls to see how the Trax feels behind the wheel. Call (715) 833-0444 to arrange a test drive.
