2027 Chevrolet Trax: What’s New, Trims, Specs, and Features

The 2027 Chevrolet Trax now includes more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features, a jump from the previous model year. The 11.3-inch touchscreen and 11-inch digital driver display are both larger than the outgoing setup. The 2027 Trax is expected to arrive in spring 2027. Until then, shoppers can explore current Trax inventory at Greg Hubler Chevrolet in Camby and contact the dealership for updates on 2027 availability.

What’s New for 2027

The 2027 Trax receives its most substantial update since the third-generation redesign, touching safety, technology, exterior styling, and the interior in one refresh cycle.

The biggest headline is safety. Chevrolet upgraded the electrical and software architecture to unlock more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features. Several of those features are new to the Trax nameplate entirely, including Reverse Automatic Braking, Safety Alert Seat, Side Bicyclist Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Braking, Front Park Assist, Rear Seat Belt Indicator, and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking. Adaptive Cruise Control is also now standard across the lineup.

On the technology side, both screens grow. The center touchscreen expands to 11.3 inches and the driver information center reaches 11 inches, both larger than the outgoing displays. Google Built-In with Gemini AI is included, letting drivers speak naturally to plan routes, answer questions, or adjust vehicle settings without touching the screen.

Externally, the Trax gets a new grille, redesigned wheels, all-LED taillamps, and a redesigned liftgate. Three new exterior colors join the palette: Lagoon, Sunrise Orange, and Pacific Blue Metallic. Inside, hexagonal side vents freshen the instrument panel, and a power liftgate is available on Trax for the first time.

The trim lineup also simplifies. The 2027 Trax is offered as LT, RS, and ACTIV, with cleaner differentiation between each model’s personality.

Trim Lineup

LT

is the entry point. It arrives with LED headlamps and taillamps, the 11.3-inch touchscreen, the 11-inch digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Google Built-In with Gemini AI, remote engine start, and the full suite of 20+ standard safety features. The LT gets a higher-contrast wheel finish that suits an urban look.

RS

builds on the LT with a focus on sport styling. It adds 19-inch Carbon Flash Metallic machined aluminum wheels, the largest wheel offered across all three trims. The RS also includes unique exterior and interior styling, a heated flat-bottom wrapped steering wheel, and RS-exclusive red interior stitching on a Jet Black interior. The flat-bottom wheel gives the cabin a noticeably more driver-focused feel.

ACTIV

shares the RS starting point and leans into an adventure-inspired aesthetic. It wears 18-inch Android Dark Gray machined aluminum wheels, a unique front-end grille design with Tritan accents, ACTIV badging, and a Jet Black plus Storm Sky Gray interior with orange accent stitching. Storm Sky Gray is a brand-new interior color making its Chevrolet debut on this model. The ACTIV headrests carry embroidered ACTIV badges, adding a finished detail that reinforces the trim’s character.

Bluetooth, a voice recognition system, remote engine start, USB ports, and an available Wi-Fi hotspot round out the connectivity package.

Who It’s For and How It Compares to the Prior Year

The 2027 Trax is built for buyers who want a subcompact SUV with modern technology and a thorough safety package at an accessible price point. It fits city commuters, first-time SUV buyers, and anyone who wants a connected, stylish vehicle without stepping into a larger segment.

Compared to the 2026 Trax, the 2027 model delivers a meaningful step forward in three areas. Safety content expands substantially with six or more new standard features.
