2026 Chevrolet Trax Trim Levels Deep Dive
The 2026 Chevrolet Trax ships in five trims at Webb Chevy Oak Lawn, and each represents a different answer to the same question: how much equipment do you want layered onto an already-equipped baseline. This guide walks every trim end to end so you can pick the right configuration for daily duty in Oak Lawn, Burbank, Palos Heights, and Chicago Ridge.
Quick Answer
The 2026 Chevrolet Trax comes in five trims at Webb Chevy Oak Lawn: LS, LT, 1RS, 2RS, and Activ. All share the 1.2-liter turbo engine and 6-speed automatic. LT is the volume seller. 1RS and 2RS add sport styling. Activ adds outdoor styling with two-tone exterior options. Chevy Safety Assist is standard on every trim.
LS: The Strong Baseline
LS is the base trim of the 2026 Trax lineup, and it’s a meaningfully more equipped baseline than base trims at competing brands. Standard equipment includes Chevy Safety Assist, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8-inch infotainment screen, 17-inch steel wheels, and the 1.2-liter turbo engine.
LS is the right choice for first-time SUV buyers, college students, and second-vehicle households who want a small SUV at the lowest price point without compromising on safety technology.
LT: The Volume Seller
LT is the volume-selling trim of the 2026 Trax lineup. It upgrades from LS by adding 17-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, remote start, an 11-inch infotainment screen, and a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. For most Oak Lawn-area buyers, LT is the trim that hits the sweet spot of value-to-feature.
1RS and 2RS: The Sport Aesthetic
1RS and 2RS are the sport-aesthetic trims of the 2026 Trax. Both build on LT’s equipment base and add visual upgrades. 1RS includes 18-inch dark-finished wheels, black exterior trim, sport-styled body kit, and red accent stitching in the interior.
2RS layers in leather-appointed seating (in place of cloth), heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and the 19-inch wheel-and-tire package. 2RS is the top-equipped non-Activ trim.
Activ: The Outdoor Aesthetic
Activ is the outdoor-aesthetic trim and the most-distinctive configuration in the 2026 Trax lineup. It builds on LT equipment and adds raised-suspension visual styling, unique two-tone exterior options (most commonly Cacti Green over Mosaic Black), copper-colored interior accents, and unique Activ badging.
Activ is the right pick for Oak Lawn and Burbank buyers who want the outdoor aesthetic without sacrificing the daily-driver practicality of a 30-MPG compact SUV.
