Whether you are driving through Rogers or heading to downtown Bentonville, the Trax offers a reliable and efficient ride tailored to your community’s needs.

Detailed Engine Options for the 2026 Chevrolet Trax

Under the hood, the 2026 Chevrolet Trax features a capable ECOTEC® 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder engine. This powertrain is engineered to deliver a balanced mix of performance and fuel economy tailored to suburban and semi-rural driving conditions familiar to drivers around Bella Vista and Farmington.

Here are the technical specifics that make the Trax’s engine a strong contender in its class:

• Horsepower and Torque: The 1.2L turbo engine generates 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, providing enough punch for highway merges and hill climbs around Bentonville’s rolling terrain.
• Transmission: Paired with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission, the Trax ensures responsive acceleration and effortless driving in stop-and-go traffic.
• Fuel Economy: This engine achieves an EPA-estimated 30 miles per gallon combined, making it an economical choice for daily commuting and weekend excursions near Cave Springs and beyond.
• Drive Layout: The Trax is offered exclusively with front-wheel drive, which suits the region's mostly mild weather and paved roads while helping maintain a lighter curb weight of approximately 3,069 pounds.

For drivers who prioritize fuel efficiency without sacrificing capability, this turbocharged engine provides an ideal balance. It is well-suited for the varied driving conditions in Bentonville’s suburban neighborhoods and the nearby highways leading to Fayetteville.

Real-World Applications and Expert Insights

In practical terms, the Trax's engine delivers enough power to confidently overtake slower traffic on the highways around Springdale, while maintaining low fuel consumption for city driving. Its turbocharged nature means the engine responds quickly to throttle inputs, enhancing the driving experience without demanding premium fuel.

Compared to naturally aspirated engines of some competitors, this turbocharged unit offers a more modern and efficient alternative, which appeals to drivers balancing cost and capability.

Available Trim Levels and Pricing Breakdown

• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: Provides gentle steering inputs to keep the vehicle centered and alerts if drifting is detected.
• Following Distance Indicator: Shows the gap time between your vehicle and the one ahead, promoting safer driving distances.
• IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist: Automatically toggles high and low beams based on surrounding traffic, improving visibility without blinding other drivers.

Available Advanced Safety Options

For drivers seeking enhanced protection, additional safety features can be added depending on the trim, such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
