Chevrolet Trax For Sale in Rockville, MD

No. The 2026 Chevy Trax is front-wheel drive only, on all five trims, with no all-wheel-drive option at any price. Chevrolet directs shoppers who want AWD to the 2026 Chevy Trailblazer, which offers it. Note that all-wheel drive on the Trailblazer requires the available 1.3L Turbo engine, so budget roughly $2,000 above the comparable front-drive trim.

The Trailblazer starts at $23,300 to the Trax's $21,700, and the two are closer than most shoppers expect. They use the same standard 1.2L Turbo three-cylinder rated at 137 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft., and their maximum cargo volumes are effectively equal at 54.1 cubic feet for the Trax and 54.4 for the Trailblazer. Both seat five.
The Trailblazer's real 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. In Montgomery County, all-wheel drive is usually the deciding factor. If you do not need it, the Trax delivers the same cargo volume and the same engine for less money.

Pricing starts 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 on all five trims. It takes regular 87-octane gasoline and is E85 compatible.

An EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined. Actual mileage varies with driving conditions, equipment and driving style.

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

Five, and Chevrolet notes the seats fit most adults comfortably, which is not a given in this size class.

The 2026 Chevy Trax has 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 starts 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 most Rockville buyers, the LT. Remote start, automatic climate control and the 11-inch touchscreen are what you actually use 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.

Yes, and it is particularly well suited to the short-trip driving common in Montgomery County. Thirty MPG combined on regular gas keeps running costs low, the small footprint helps in stop-and-go traffic and in tight parking, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto handle navigation and audio without a cable. Adaptive cruise control is available for I-270 miles.

It is one of the better options for it. The Trax keeps what people actually miss when they downsize, meaning a raised seating position, a hatch, five real seats and 54.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo, which matches the 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 does not offer, and towing capability. If you need either, the Chevy Equinox is the closer step down from a large SUV.

Yes, and it is one of the stronger arguments for it. Teen Driver technology is standard on every trim, letting you set speed and volume limits, mute audio until front seatbelts are buckled, and pull 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, and Montgomery County is the market where that matters most. On good all-season or winter tires it handles most of what a Rockville winter produces, and tires do more work than drivetrain in the majority of conditions. The limitation is real and specific: hills, north-facing driveways, and side streets that sit late in the plow rotation. If that describes where you live, the Chevy Trailblazer and Equinox both offer available all-wheel drive and would be the better purchase.

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.
