The 2026 Chevrolet Trax comes standard with a turbocharged ECOTEC(R) 1.2L engine that delivers 162 lb-ft of torque. This engine balances responsive, spirited acceleration with smart efficiency-you'll get an impressive EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined fuel economy. That means smooth merges on the highway and easy city driving without constant fuel stops.
