New 2026 Chevrolet Trax • Danville, Virginia
Roomy seating, class-leading cargo space, and a long list of standard safety technology — at one of the lowest starting prices of any SUV on the market. Here's everything Danville-area shoppers need to know about the 2026 Chevy Trax before visiting Woodall Chevrolet.
Why Shoppers Choose the Trax
If you're comparing SUVs for sale near Danville, VA, the 2026 Chevrolet Trax deserves a spot on your list. It's one of the most affordable new SUVs on the market, yet it doesn't feel like a budget vehicle from behind the wheel — you get a comfortable five-passenger cabin, best-in-class cargo room, a fuel-efficient turbocharged engine, and Chevy Safety Assist driver-assistance technology as standard equipment on every trim. Whether you're commuting along Riverside Drive, running errands around downtown Danville, or planning a weekend trip through Pittsylvania County, the Trax is sized right for daily life without the price tag of a larger SUV.
Below, our team at Woodall Chevrolet breaks down the seating, cargo space, safety ratings, awards, and gas mileage that matter most to SUV buyers — so you can decide if the new Chevy Trax is the right fit before you come in for a test drive. You can also visit our 2026 Chevrolet Trax model page for trim-by-trim photos, colors, and build-and-price tools.
Seating & Interior Comfort
The 2026 Trax seats five across two rows, and Chevrolet gave the back seat more attention than most subcompact SUVs bother with. Rear legroom is nearly best-in-class, so second-row passengers — not just front-seat riders — get a comfortable ride on longer drives. Materials are simple but well assembled, front and rear visibility is good, and the cabin is laid out with practical storage in mind.
Front headroom: 39.6 in. • Front legroom: 41.9 in. • Front shoulder room: 55.7 in. • Overall length: 178.6 in. • Wheelbase: 106.0 in.
Cargo & Passenger Space
Cargo room is where the Trax genuinely stands out against competitors like the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Seltos. You get 25.6 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats — enough for a full grocery run, a stroller, or a couple of suitcases — and up to 54.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat, which is enough room for flat-pack furniture, camping gear, or a Costco run. A wide, low floor and a large cargo opening make loading and unloading easy, whether you're parking on Main Street or unloading in your own driveway.
Safety Ratings & Driver Assistance
Every 2026 Chevrolet Trax comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a bundle of driver-assistance features that most competitors charge extra for. That includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, and a following-distance indicator. Shoppers who want more coverage can add the available Driver Confidence Package, which brings blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, and lane-change alert. For more on how Chevrolet approaches crash prevention and occupant protection across its lineup, see Chevrolet's official safety overview .
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives the 2026 Trax an overall safety score of 4 out of 5 stars, and the Trax has also been evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Ratings can vary by trim and model year, so ask our team for the latest published scores on the vehicle you're considering.
Fuel Economy
Every 2026 Trax is powered by a 1.2L ECOTEC turbocharged 3-cylinder engine making 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. It's EPA-estimated at 28 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined — competitive fuel economy for the subcompact SUV class, and a real advantage over larger, thirstier SUVs for Danville commuters who want fewer stops at the pump.
