Usually, when someone tells you a crossover is "affordable," it’s code for "tiny, a radio that only picks up AM static, and an engine powered by a very tired hamster." But here at Ken Barrett Chevrolet Cadillac, we’ve got something parked on the lot in Batavia that completely shatters that rule. It’s the brand-new 2026 Chevrolet Trax, and it proves that 'affordable' doesn't have to mean 'boring.' Priced for the real world it gives you the sleek, aggressive styling of an SUV, and its loaded with technology, without the soul-crushing price tag.
Under the hood sits a 1.2-liter ECOTEC Turbo engine pumping out 162 lb-ft of torque. Because the turbo kicks in down low at 2,500 RPM, it zips away from stoplights and merges onto the Thruway with proper enthusiasm.
Unlike its squishy, CVT-equipped competitors that sound like a vacuum cleaner when you step on the gas, the Trax uses a proven 6-speed automatic transmission. Real gears. Real shifts. Properly brilliant.
It gets an EPA-estimated 28 MPG city / 32 MPG highway. That means fewer stops at the pump on your morning commute to Rochester or Buffalo.
Fold the rear seats down, and you get 54.1 cubic feet of cargo room. That is more than enough space for a massive haul from the local farm stands, full hockey gear, or loads of camping gear.
Step inside higher like the LT, RS, or ACTIV, and you are greeted by a 11-inch diagonal touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Plus, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, which, as we all know, is non-negotiable for some in our WNY winters.
Whether you’re darting down West Main Street, taking a weekend drive out to Letchworth State Park, or setting up your side at the local campground, the Trax handles it with total ease.
It gives you command of the road, higher seating visibility than a sedan, and all the safety essentials (Chevy Safety Assist comes standard!) without forcing you to drive a giant land-yacht.
Come Take a Drive! You don't need to spend fifty grand to get a stylish, comfortable, technology-packed crossover.
Stop by Ken Barrett Chevrolet Cadillac at 229 W Main St in Batavia, NY, jump behind the wheel of the 2026 Trax, and see for yourself why this is hands-down the best value on four wheels today.
