Powertrain
What’s new for 2027?
Expect updated exterior colour selections and potential equipment revisions across the trim lineup. Substantial mechanical modifications are not forecasted for this model year.
Performance
A 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine generates 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. Power routes through a six-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels, the only drivetrain configuration available in Canada. The turbocharger aids acceleration when merging onto the Trans-Canada Highway while supporting reasonable fuel consumption for regular commuting. Front-wheel drive handles Vancouver Island’s predominantly paved road network and moderate winter conditions without requiring all-wheel capability. The engine’s compact size contributes to the Trax’s manoeuvrability in tight parking situations common to downtown Duncan.
Technology
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration allows smartphone connection without cables, providing access to navigation apps, messaging, and streaming audio. Chevrolet Safety Assist comes standard on all trims, packaging automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and automatic high beams. Selected trims include rear cross-traffic alert and blind-zone steering assist to monitor adjacent lanes during highway travel. USB charging ports maintain device power for front passengers. Available Wi-Fi hotspot capability turns the vehicle into a mobile internet hub for up to seven devices, useful for remote work or keeping passengers connected during longer trips. Climate controls remain accessible through physical buttons and dials positioned below the infotainment screen.
Exterior
Clean body lines define the Trax’s profile, with a vertical grille anchoring the front end. Standard LED daytime running lamps provide visibility during Vancouver Island’s frequent overcast conditions. Wheel sizes span 17 to 18 inches based on selected trim, while protective body cladding guards against road debris on rural Island highways. Available roof rails offer mounting capability for kayaks or cargo carriers. The rear gate swings upward to access the cargo bay, and taillamp clusters wrap around the rear quarters. Ground clearance allows navigation of gravel forestry roads common throughout the Duncan area.
Interior
The cabin layout centres function around an available touchscreen mounted within reach of the driver. Standard cloth seats handle daily commutes, while upper trims offer leatherette surfaces. Heated front seats counter damp coastal mornings, and the available heated steering wheel provides additional cold-weather comfort. Rear seating accommodates two passengers with adequate legroom for adults on longer drives to Nanaimo or Victoria. Folding the rear seatbacks flat creates extended cargo capacity for larger purchases or outdoor equipment. Storage compartments throughout the cabin organize smaller items, and cup holders are positioned for front and rear occupants.
