2026 Chevrolet Trax in Denton, TX
Test Drive the 2026 Chevrolet Trax at Tom Clark Chevrolet
Compact SUVs are practical vehicles with personality, and the Trax gets that formula just right. The Trax was redesigned last year, and in 2026, it offers better technology, comfort, and value than ever before. For drivers in Denton, TX, the Trax is a perfect balance for a city-friendly SUV while making you feel at home on I-35, visiting coffee shops on the Square, or planning a weekend road trip across North Texas. Choose from the following trim levels:
- LS
- 1RS
- LT
- 2RS
- ACTIV
The Trax competes with familiar names like the Kia Soul, Hyundai Venue, and Mazda CX-30. Still, Chevy differentiates itself with one of the most spacious cabins, technology that impresses in value, and its new design.
Interior Features
Upon entering the 2026 Trax, you will notice a surprisingly spacious cabin, designed for comfort and convenience. It seats five passengers and has impressive legroom and headroom. The front row features 41.9 inches of legroom and 39.6 inches of headroom, while the second row features 38.7 inches of legroom and 38.1 inches of headroom. The layout of the dashboard is clean and modern, with digital displays and intuitive controls, all of which make it feel far more upscale than a model that is designed to be entry-level.
Cloth upholstery is standard, while higher trims, such as the LT, 2RS, and ACTIV, add sporty or premium touches like contrast stitching, leatherette accents, and a flat-bottom steering wheel for that sporty feel. The supportive front seats can be optioned with heating, as well as a heated steering wheel for those chilly North Texas mornings.
Cargo space is also a highlight of the Trax model. You will find 25.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats – and up to 54.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. The wide rear opening, along with the low load floor, makes it easy to load anything from groceries to camping gear.
Exterior Features
The 2026 Trax looks more like a small crossover than a subcompact SUV. With its bold front grille, sharp LED headlights, and muscular fenders, it has the kind of road presence that turns heads. Each trim has its own personality:
- LS and 1RS: You’ll get a clean and simple design with 17-inch wheels.
- LT: This trim adds chrome details and LED accents for a refined touch.
- 2RS: This trim is sportier, with unique 19-inch wheels and dark exterior trim.
- ACTIV: At the top, you get a rugged-inspired design, featuring skid plate-style accents and black wheels.
Roof rails are available for extra utility, while vibrant colors like Cacti Green give the Trax a youthful, adventurous vibe.
Available exterior colors include:
- Summit White
- Mosaic Black Metallic
- Sterling Gray Metallic
- White Sands
- Marian Blue Metallic
