Whether you prioritize safety, seamless smartphone integration, or an interior that punches above its class, the Trax delivers a balanced package that is easy to live with and easy to love.

Across its trim lineup, the Trax offers distinct looks and feature combinations that make personalization simple. Sport-forward RS models turn heads with bold details, while ACTIV adds a more rugged vibe with unique accents. Inside, every Trax focuses on clarity and convenience, highlighted by an available large center display that puts your apps, audio, and navigation within easy reach.

Safety remains a core strength. The Trax includes a suite of driver assistance features designed to help you stay alert and informed, including alerts that can warn you of potential front-end collisions and technology that can automatically assist with braking in certain situations. Features that help with lane centering on compatible roads, assist with high-beam operation, and monitor following distance add confidence without getting in the way. As always, driver attention is essential and weather or road conditions can affect system performance.

When you need more room, fold the rear seat to open generous cargo capacity for luggage, sports equipment, or home improvement hauls. The turbocharged 1.2L engine is engineered for balanced performance with an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined, depending on equipment and driving conditions, so the Trax stays efficient while still feeling lively in city traffic.

Choosing the right trim is straightforward. LS covers essentials with value-focused features. LT adds comfort and tech upgrades. RS models lean sporty with distinctive exterior and interior touches, including bolder wheels and details. ACTIV turns up the attitude with blackout elements and unique accents inside and out.
