The Chevy Trax: Small Size, Smart Value
The 2026 Chevy Trax is one of the most fuel efficient SUVs in the Chevy lineup, getting up to 30 MPG combined, and it's also one of the most affordable. It’s earned recognition from Consumer Reports, which speaks to its reliability and overall value. Then Trax seats up to 5, offers a max cargo space of 54 cu. ft., and available features like wireless charging, a built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot, and stylish options like the sporty RS trim with 2-tone wheels and gloss black accents, or the more rugged ACTIV—so there’s something for everyone.
The Chevy Trailblazer: Versatile and Efficient
The 2026 Chevy Trailblazer builds on the Trax's strengths with a slightly larger footprint, more available features, and a more refined drive, while still landing in budget-friendly territory.
The Trailblazer gets you an impressive 31 MPG combined in front-wheel drive models—though all-wheel drive gets you nearly that and the added all-weather capability Macedon drivers need. Its highly versatile, with a standard fold-flat front passenger seat that allows for cargo up to 8.5 feet in length—and even with a full house of passengers, you’ll have 25 cu. ft. of cargo space for everyday stuff like groceries, backpacks, and sports gear. It's easy to park, comfortable for passengers, and comes in multiple trim levels to match different lifestyles.
The Chevy Equinox: A Midsize Sweet Spot
Named America’s Most Dependable Compact SUV by J.D. Power, the 2026 Chevy Equinox gives you more space, outstanding reliability, and great fuel economy at 27 MPG combined. It's also considered one of the more affordable SUVs to maintain, thanks to Chevrolet's certified service network and widely available parts.
The Equinox is a popular choice for families and commuters alike, providing up to 63.5 cu. ft. of cargo space, Google Built-in, a robust suite of driver-assistance features as standard, and available all-wheel drive.
The Chevy Equinox EV: Go Electric for Even Better Efficiency
If you’re thinking of eliminating time at the pump altogether, the 2026 Equinox EV brings the familiarity and affordable price range of the Equinox. The Equinox EV lets you drive for 319 miles on a single charge—perfect for getting around Macedon.
Charging at home overnight is simple, and the lower cost of electricity compared to gasoline can make the Equinox EV one of the more affordable SUVs to maintain over time. On top of that, EVs just have fewer working parts to keep up with, making maintenance costs and scheduling easier to deal with. If you've been thinking about making the switch to electric, this is a natural starting point.
