The 2026 Chevrolet Trax is powered by a standard ECOTEC(R) 1.2L Turbo engine that delivers 162 lb-ft of torque. This turbocharged setup gives you lively, responsive acceleration for city driving and highway merges without sacrificing efficiency.

You'll enjoy an impressive EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined fuel economy, so the Trax balances spirited performance with smart fuel economy. That means fewer fuel stops and more time enjoying the road.
