What Safety Features Come Standard on the 2026 Chevrolet Trax?

The 2026 Chevrolet Trax comes loaded with Chevrolet Safety Assist as standard, which collects essential safety & driver assistance tools to help you keep an eye on your surroundings and respond accordingly while navigating downtown Hope and the highways:

1. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking

Helps you prevent/lessen the impact of front-end collisions by applying the brakes automatically if the 2026 Trax’s sensors detect a crash is imminent.

2. Front Pedestrian Braking

The 2026 Chevrolet Trax’s Front Pedestrian Braking system monitors the road ahead via your front-facing camera and alerts you if a pedestrian is detected in your path. If the driver doesn’t brake in time, then the Front Pedestrian Braking system can automatically apply the brakes if a collision is likely.

3. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Lane Keep Assist & Lane Departure Warning track the lines of your lane using the front-facing camera aboard the 2026 Chevrolet Trax. If the system detects drift (i.e. if your car moves to leave the lane without your blinkers active), Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can steer your 2026 Chevrolet Trax back into line with a gentle nudge of the steering wheel.

4. Following Distance Indicator

Following Distance Indicator monitors traffic ahead of you and displays the time (in seconds) between your vehicle and the one directly ahead of you, so you can actively maintain a safe distance with enough stopping time to prevent or lessen a collision in the event of an unexpected emergency stop.

5. IntelliBeam High Beam Assist

The 2026 Chevrolet Trax features IntelliBeam High Beam Assist, which detects your current driving speed and surrounding light levels and switches your high beams on and off accordingly, allowing you to see in low-visibility areas while concentrating on the road ahead, and avoids dazzling oncoming drivers in the opposite lane.

What Other Safety Features Are Available for the 2026 Chevrolet Trax?

The 2026 Chevrolet Trax also offers drivers an extensive selection of optional driver assistance & safety features to support the Chevrolet Safety Assist system, such as HD Rear Vision for improved spatial awareness while maneuvering, and Adaptive Cruise Control that helps you maintain a steady distance while cruising on the highway:

  • Available Adaptive Cruise Control
  • HD Rear Vision Camera
  • Rear Seat Reminder
  • Teen Driver
  • Rear Park Assist
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
