2026 Chevrolet TRAX LS: Monroe Buyers Guide

The straightforward one

Every lineup has a trim that exists to answer one question: what's the least I can spend and still get a proper new vehicle? On the TRAX, that's the LS. It leaves out the larger screen, the remote starter and the sporty styling, and it keeps the stuff you'd regret losing. Chevy Safety Assist, which combines forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, automatic high beams and a rear vision camera, comes with it. So does a wireless smartphone connection, which means a phone can stay in a pocket or bag and still show up on the 8-inch screen.

For a Monroe household that needs a second car for school runs, a trip to the Evergreen State Fair or the daily slog down SR 522, that's a reasonable place to stop. The cabin is five seats, the rear seat splits 60/40, and there's up to roughly 54 cubic feet behind the front seats with the rear folded flat.

What you give up compared with LT

Moving up to LT costs $1,500 more at the MSRP level ($23,200), and the difference you'll notice every day is the screen: LT gets an 11-inch touchscreen and an 8-inch driver information display, plus remote start and automatic climate controls. If a winter morning with a frosty windshield matters to you, remote start alone may justify the step. If you mostly want reliable transport at a low price, the LS gives you the same powertrain and the same safety suite. The LT guide compares the two in more detail, and the overview shows all five trims side by side.
