The 2026 Chevrolet Trax is powered by a standard ECOTEC(R) 1.2L Turbo engine that delivers 162 lb-ft of torque with an impressive EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined fuel economy. This turbocharged engine strikes a great balance: it provides smooth, responsive acceleration for city driving and merges, making it feel lively and confident, while the fuel efficiency means fewer stops at the pump. The Trax also features standard Active Noise Cancellation for a quieter, more composed cabin. Whether you're navigating busy urban streets or cruising the highway, this compact SUV is designed to give you the power and efficiency you want. Ready to experience the performance yourself?
