Chevrolet Trax For Sale in Bowie, MD

No. The 2026 Chevy Trax is front-wheel drive only, across all five trims. There is no all-wheel-drive option at any price. Chevrolet points shoppers who want AWD toward the 2026 Chevy Trailblazer, which offers it, and note AWD there requires the available 1.3L Turbo engine, so budget roughly $2,000 above the comparable front-drive trim.

The Trailblazer opens at $23,300 to the Trax's $21,700, and the two sit closer together than most shoppers assume. They share the same standard 1.2L Turbo three-cylinder rated at 137 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft., and their maximum cargo volumes are effectively equal, 54.1 cubic feet in the Trax, 54.4 in the Trailblazer. Both seat five. The Trailblazer's advantages are specific: available all-wheel drive, an available 1.3L Turbo with 155 horsepower, a standard rather than available 11-inch touchscreen, a 1,000-pound tow rating, and a fold-flat front passenger seat that opens an 8.5-foot cargo length. If none of those matter to you, the Trax delivers the same volume and the same engine for less money.

Pricing opens at $21,700 MSRP for the LS. The 1RS and LT each start at $23,200, and the 2RS and ACTIV each start at $25,400. Those figures exclude destination charge, taxes, Maryland MVA fees, optional equipment and dealer charges.

A 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder rated at 137 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque, used across all five trims. It takes regular 87-octane gasoline and is E85 compatible.

An EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined. Real-world mileage varies with driving conditions, equipment anddriving style.

Up to 54.1 cubic feet with the 60/40 split-folding rear seat lowered – the same usable maximum as the larger Chevy Trailblazer.

Five, and Chevrolet notes the seats fit most adults comfortably, which isn't a given in this this size.

The 2026 Chevy Trax carries no tow rating. If you need to tow, the Chevy Trailblazer is rated to 1,000 pounds and the Chevy Equinox to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. Anything heavier means a Silverado.

Five: LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS and ACTIV. The LS covers the essentials, the 1RS and 2RS are the sporty appearance models, the LT adds comfort and technology, and the ACTIV is the distinctive-styling trim. All five are front-wheel drive.

The LS opens at $21,700 with Chevy Safety Assist, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlights and Active Noise Cancellation. The 1RS and LT are both $23,200 and represent a fork rather than a step, the 1RS puts the money into 18-inch machined wheels, the RS grille, black bowties and red interior accents, while the LT puts it into a 17-inch wheel, an 11-inch touchscreen, an 8-inch Driver Information Center, remote start and automatic climate control. The 2RS and ACTIV are both $25,400, the 2RS with 19-inch wheels and the RS treatment, the ACTIV with 18-inch black wheels, a Titanium chrome grille and yellow interior accents.

For a long Bowie commute, the LT, remote start, automatic climate control and the 11-inch touchscreen are what you interact with daily, and it costs the same as the 1RS. If appearance matters more to you than equipment, the 1RS is that same money spent differently. If the payment is the deciding factor, the LS is well equipped at $21,700.

It's arguably what the Trax does best. Thirty MPG combined on regular gas keeps a long commute affordable, the small footprint helps in stop-and-go traffic and tight parking, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto handle navigation and audio without a cable. Adaptive cruise control is available for highway miles.

It's one of the better options for it. The Trax keeps what people actually miss when they downsize, a raised seating position, a hatch, five real seats and 54.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo. Which is the same as the slightly larger Trailblazer, while cutting the fuel, insurance and payment costs of a three-row. The two things you give up are all-wheel drive, which the Trax doesn't offer at all, and towing capability. If you need either, the Chevy Equinox is the closer step down from a large SUV.

Yes, and it's one of the better arguments for it. Teen Driver technology is standard on every trim, it allows speed and volume limits, mutes audio until front seatbelts are buckled, and produces a report on how the vehicle was driven. Chevy Safety Assist, an HD Rear Vision Camera and Rear Seat Reminder are also standard, and the low entry price and 30 MPG keep running costs manageable for a new driver.

For a small family, yes. Five seats, a 60/40 split-folding rear bench and up to 54.1 cubic feet of cargo space, with Chevy Safety Assist, Teen Driver and Rear Seat Reminder standard. Families who regularly carry five adults, want more rear legroom, or need all-wheel drive should compare it against the Chevy Equinox.

The 2026 Trax is front-wheel drive only. On a good set of all-season or winter tires it handles a typical Prince George's County winter without trouble, tires matter more than drivetrain in most conditions, and this isn't a hard-winter market. The limitation is real but narrow: a road that ices and stays iced, or a driveway on a slope. If that describes where you live, the Chevy Trailblazer or Equinox both offer available all-wheel drive and would be the better buy.

Side Blind Zone Alert is available on every 2026 Trax trim through the Driver Confidence package. It is not standard equipment, so check the window sticker or ask us to confirm it on a specific vehicle.
