The 2026 Chevrolet Trax is a five-passenger small SUV. Riverside Chevrolet stocks it for shoppers across Riverside, Corona, Eastvale, Fontana, Ontario and San Bernardino. Five trims are offered: LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS and ACTIV. All five share one powertrain. The choice comes down to equipment and styling rather than performance. For a fuller walkthrough of the model, read our 2026 Chevrolet Trax review.
Every 2026 Trax uses the ECOTEC® 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder engine. It pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Output is 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Peak torque arrives at 2,500 rpm, low in the rev range for a small-displacement engine.
The six-speed uses fixed gear ratios rather than a continuously variable transmission, so engine speed steps through the gears instead of holding at a constant rpm under acceleration. The engine has a double overhead cam design with variable valve timing and direct injection. It is also flex-fuel capable. It runs on regular unleaded at 87 octane minimum, or on E85.
