This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2024 Chevrolet Trax subcompact suv. With a starting price of $24,530 CAD/$20,400 USD, the Chevrolet Trax is an affordable option. It’s not a powerhouse but it sure is a great daily driver with a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. This is a FWD model but with a good set of winter tires, you may be just fine without AWD.
The Chevrolet Trax has grown, it’s 11” longer and 2” wider than the previous model and has 7.3” of ground clearance. It comes standard with LED headlamps, body coloured door handles, hidden exhaust tips, 17” wheels, available 18” and 19” wheels and a compact spare tire.
Standard features on the new 2024 Chevrolet Trax include an 8” touchscreen, 3.5” driver display, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, manual heated cloth front seats, a 4-speaker audio system, active noise cancellation, a manual liftgate and Chevrolet Safety Assist.
In the US, heated front seats are not standard, but are available in both the LS and LT packages.
The 1RS Chevrolet Trax adds the heated steering wheel, the LT has cloth and Evotex seats which is leatherette, a 6-speaker audio system, 11” touchscreen and 8” driver display. The Activ and 2RS models add a power driver’s seat and Evotex upholstery. Available features include, a sunroof and a wireless charger.
The 2024 Chevrolet Trax does not offer extra features like ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a power passenger seat, driver seat memory or a power tailgate. However, the price reflects that and all of these features are not typical in the subcompact class. The Kia Seltos is the only model that offers all of these features.
Chevrolet Trax fuel economy is 8.3L/100 km, 28 MPG city and 7.4L/100 km, 32 MPG highway
Here’s the pricing for all the other trims available, Chevrolet Trax 1RS $26,030 CAD/$22,100 USD
Chevrolet Trax LT $28,930 CAD/$22,300 USD, Chevrolet Trax Activ $31,030 CAD/$23,900 USD and Chevrolet Trax 2RS $31,030 CAD/$23,900 USD.
The Chevrolet Trax Activ model has a more contemporary look with 18” black wheels, a black grille with chrome accents and Activ badging. The interior is comfortable, spacious and clean with black leatherette upholstery, yellow accents, a power driver’s seat, heated front seats a heated steering wheel, a 6-speaker audio system, the larger 11” touchscreen with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto and an 8” driver display.
The Chevrolet Trax is missing some features but the lower price point reflects that. It doesn’t offer a power tailgate, a power passenger seat, driver seat memory, ventilated front seats or heated rear seat. This is also a FWD model but with a good set of winter tires, you may find this is all you need.
This Chevrolet Trax is not a powerhouse but it’s a great city driver with a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque.
