After taking the 2023 model year off, Chevrolet redesigned the Trax for 2024. The new model is almost a foot longer than the previous version, making it about the size of the Chevrolet Trailblazer. In fact, the two vehicles are built at the same factory in South Korea. The biggest difference is that the Trax is only available with front-wheel drive, without an all-wheel-drive option.

Model History

2024-Present

Current Generation

The redesigned Trax is almost a foot longer than its predecessor. It is now one of the biggest SUVs in a class that includes the Kia Seltos and Nissan Kicks. The only available powerplant is a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo engine and a six-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is not available. The exterior is modeled on the Blazer, with a prominent grille and slim LED daytime running lights. The tidy interior is roomier than in the previous Trax and features straightforward climate controls and a traditional shift lever. The new Trax finally gets standard AEB with pedestrian detection. BSW and RCTW are optional.

2015-2023

2015 Redesign Year

This bite-sized crossover, essentially a stripped down Buick Encore, is an ambitiously-priced budget model. Available in front- or all-wheel drive, the Trax has a 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder and six-speed automatic, which didn't deliver performance or fuel economy. The cabin is narrow, cramped, and overall basic, with just a few niceties. Pronounced engine noise and stiff ride don't add to the experience. The Trax does feature the next-generation versions of OnStar and MyLink infotainment systems. Updates for 2022 include a boost in the engine's horsepower, now making 155 hp.
