Chevrolet Trax Curb Weight: 3,069 lbs

At 61/39, the 3,069 lbs puts about 1,872 lbs on the front axle and 1,197 lbs on the rear — 675 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The two axles are not the same width either: 61.4 in of track at the front against 62.2 in at the rear, 0.8 in narrower in front.

Only 2 of the 15 vehicles EPA files under Small Station Wagons start lighter than the Trax's 3,069 lbs, and 12 of the 15 are heavier; the class median is 3,633 lbs.

The lightest 2015 record is 3,047 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 3,069 lbs — 22 lbs heavier (0.7%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 3,069 lbs against 3,254 lbs in 2015, a 185 lbs reduction — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

EPA files 2 separate 2026 entries for the model, spanning 29–30 mpg combined, covering 2 engine and drive combinations (1.2L 3-cyl FWD; 1.2L 3-cyl ffv FWD) plus their transmission choices, while NHTSA weighs the body once. Engine and gearbox choice is therefore not reflected in the figure above.
