How many people does a Chevrolet Trax hold?

The Chevrolet Trax seats up to five people, with two in the front and three in the rear.


The question concerns the vehicle’s official passenger capacity and how the interior can adapt for cargo and passengers. The Trax is a five-passenger subcompact SUV, designed to accommodate a small family or group, with a rear bench that folds to increase cargo space when needed.


Seating capacity and layout


Here is a concise breakdown of the seating arrangement and capacity you can expect in most Trax models.



  • Total seating: up to five occupants (two in the front, three in the rear).

  • Rear seating: 60/40-split bench, allowing one side to fold for extra cargo while keeping a passenger or two in place.

  • Consistency across trims: the standard five-passenger layout is retained across its latest model years.


In short, the Trax is a five-passenger vehicle, with a flexible rear bench that can be folded to create more cargo space when needed.


Notes on space and practicality


While the five-seat configuration is standard, the real-world comfort depends on passenger size and seat position. The trunk area expands notably when the rear seats are folded, but while fully up, it remains a compact cargo space typical of subcompact crossovers.


Summary: The Chevrolet Trax holds up to five people, with two in the front and three in the back. Its 60/40-split rear seat provides flexibility to balance passengers and cargo across trips.
