Is the Chevrolet Trax a 7 seater?
No. The Trax seats five passengers in two rows, and there is no third-row option to create a seven-seat configuration.
For readers weighing this as a factor in a purchase, it's important to know how the Trax is designed: a compact, efficient two-row crossover built for city driving and everyday practicality, not for large families needing extra seating. Chevrolet does offer three-row SUVs in its lineup, but not the Trax.
Seating and interior layout
Understanding how the Trax accommodates passengers and cargo helps explain why it isn’t a seven-seater.
Key seating characteristics you should know:
- Seating capacity: five passengers (two front seats and a rear bench for three).
- No third row: there is no option to add a seventh seat in the Trax.
- Rear seat folding: the second-row bench folds to expand cargo space, aiding versatility.
- Cargo space: usable for daily errands and small families; space grows noticeably when the rear seats are folded.
With the rear seats folded, the Trax gains extra cargo space, but the vehicle remains a two-row SUV and does not add a row for additional passengers.
Chevrolet options for seven seats
If seven seats are a priority, consider Chevrolet’s three-row SUVs rather than the Trax.
Chevrolet's three-row options include:
- Chevrolet Traverse — three rows, seating up to eight in most configurations.
- Chevrolet Tahoe — full-size SUV with three rows and ample cargo space.
- Chevrolet Suburban — extended-length SUV offering three rows and substantial cargo capacity.
Note that other Chevrolet models such as the Equinox and Blazer are five-seat vehicles.
Summary
The Trax is a five-seat subcompact SUV; it does not offer a seven-seat option. For buyers needing three rows, Chevrolet’s Traverse, Tahoe, or Suburban provide larger seating capacity and cargo flexibility. Always check current model details, as configurations can vary by market and trim.
