At a Glance

The 2026 Trax spans five trims from $21,700 (LS) to $25,400 (2RS and ACTIV), with every trim including wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Chevy Safety Assist as standard equipment.

The biggest jump in value comes at the LT (11″ touchscreen, better audio) and again at the 2RS/ACTIV (blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise, power seat). All trims share the same 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive.

Jump to a Trim

Trax LS

Starting at $21,700 + destination

The LS is the most affordable Trax in the lineup and the right choice for buyers who want a modern, connected small SUV without paying for features they don’t need. At $21,700, it’s one of the most competitively priced entries in the subcompact SUV class — and it doesn’t feel stripped-out. You get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto right out of the box, meaning you can mirror your iPhone or Android without hunting for a cable. The 8-inch touchscreen keeps things simple and responsive.

Chevy Safety Assist comes standard, which means you’re getting forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams — systems you typically have to pay extra for at competitors. The 17-inch alloy wheels give the LS a finished, respectable appearance that doesn’t scream “base model.”

Trax 1RS

Starting at $23,200 + destination

The 1RS is where the RS sport styling story begins. At $23,200 — the same price as the LT — the 1RS trades the LT’s technology upgrades for a sharper exterior look. You get machined 17-inch alloy wheels with a more aggressive finish, sport exterior accents, and the RS badging that signals a sportier personality on the road. If you care more about how the Trax looks in your driveway than about having the biggest screen, the 1RS is your trim.

Mechanically, the 1RS carries the same 1.2L turbocharged engine and front-wheel drive as every other Trax. The sport package is aesthetic, not performance-based — and that’s the right expectation to set. It keeps the 8-inch infotainment screen and all the Chevy Safety Assist features from the LS. The 1RS is the style-first pick at this price point.

Trax LT

Starting at $23,200 + destination

The LT is the trim most buyers end up choosing, and for good reason. Priced identically to the 1RS at $23,200, the LT prioritizes technology inside the cabin over exterior styling. The centerpiece is the 11-inch HD touchscreen — a genuinely large, responsive display that makes the Trax interior feel far more premium than its price suggests. The 8-inch Driver Information Center keeps critical vehicle data in your line of sight, and the upgraded 6-speaker audio system is a noticeable step up from the base setup.

The LT also opens the door to popular optional upgrades: wireless charging pad, built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel — features that Fort Lupton and Weld County buyers genuinely appreciate during Colorado winters. If you’re deciding between the 1RS and LT at the same price, the LT’s tech advantage is hard to argue against for everyday use.

Trax 2RS

Starting at $25,400 + destination

The 2RS is where the Trax becomes a truly complete package. For $25,400, you get everything in the LT plus the safety features that matter most for Colorado highway driving: blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, which are invaluable on busy I-76 on-ramps and parking lots alike. Adaptive cruise control joins the mix, automatically adjusting your speed to maintain following distance — a feature you’ll use constantly on the 35-minute run between Fort Lupton and Denver.

Comfort also takes a step up with an 8-way power driver’s seat featuring 2-way power lumbar support — something you’ll appreciate on longer commutes or weekend trips up to Rocky Mountain National Park. The interior gets Jet Black Evotex seating with red accent stitching, and the wheels upgrade to 18-inch machined alloys that fill the wheel wells with a more planted presence on the road.

Trax ACTIV

Starting at $25,400 + destination

The ACTIV is for Weld County buyers who want their Trax to look like it could handle the roads around Barr Lake State Park or a backroad off US-34 toward the mountains — without actually needing off-road capability. Priced identically to the 2RS at $25,400, the ACTIV swaps the 2RS’s sport-refined aesthetic for a rugged outdoorsy identity. The unique ACTIV grille, distinct lower fascia, and 5-spoke 18-inch wheels are instantly recognizable as something different.

Inside, the ACTIV theme carries through with rugged-styled interior trim and ACTIV badging throughout. It carries the same safety package as the 2RS — blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control — so you’re not giving anything up on the safety front. The ACTIV is the right choice for Firestone, Frederick, and Brighton buyers who spend weekends heading toward the mountains and want a vehicle that looks the part.

At a Glance

The LT offers the best technology value at $23,200, while the 2RS and ACTIV add the most important safety features for an extra $2,200 over the LT.

Every trim shares the same 1.2L turbo engine, FWD drivetrain, and Chevy Safety Assist. Use this table to compare what changes across the lineup at a glance.

At a Glance

Most buyers land on the LT or 2RS. The LT is the best everyday value; the 2RS adds the safety and comfort features that make a real difference on Colorado’s highways.

Your decision comes down to three questions: How much screen do you want? Do you need blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise? And which styling direction fits your personality?
