    Got my Chevy Trax Activ Trim last weekend in grey, sunroof with the additional driver safety package, for about 27k and its my first SUV, its the perfect size since im not a tall person and neither is my family, really enjoying everything about it, except the no arm rest in the middle in the back and no vents or power outlet in the back like the trailblazer, but imo looks way better then the blazer. took on huge mountains in California and cleared the speed test on the i5. so overall really happy about the car, took time to really find the right vehicle but i cant be more pleased about my purchase. 👍

    I love everything about the new Trax except the 3 cylinder engine. I just don’t like the idea of a 4 cycle engine with odd numbers of cylinders which requires a balance shaft and counter weights which eats up output and mileage to get them to run even remotely smooth. Im guessing thats the reason it only gets 28/32 mpg. If Chevy would offer an optional 4 cylinder, either the 1.4 or 1.5 id definitely consider it when my lease is up in November.

    The trax is amazing for the price. A top trim level with modern tech in an suv for $25k is an insane value for 2023. My only issues with that trax are the tiny engine. I know it’s probably fine but 120hp 3 cylinder just isn’t a lot of power for a small suv and I worry about steep inclines. And what I just learned from your video is no 2nd row arm rest or fans… which is really disappointing to an almost perfect small budget vehicle. Regardless idk how many years my 2013 fusion has left 137k miles. If it kicks the bucket before I’m ready to buy a new car the chevy trax will def be in my future in the cacti green of course 😂

    Love these! Love that GM took the gamble on putting the smaller 1.2L Turbo 3 engine in. Plus a tried and true 6 speed automatic and 9 seconds 0-60 is plenty fast for a subcompact CUV/SUV. Love the styling inside and out, wow and the price on these is soooo competitive! The top trim ACTIVE or 2RS comes in at $24,995.00 for total MSRP and that includes destination charge! Even if you load the top trim ACTIVE or 2RS up with all the options which are 2 packages the Driver Confidence Package at $650.00 (includes adaptive cruise control, rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert with blind zone alert) and the Sunroof Package at $895.00 (standard size sunroof and wireless charging) the total MSRP still is only $26,540.00!!! Thats impressive. Now some colors cost an additional $395.00 such as the Cayenne Orange, Nitro Yellow and Fountain Blue which I would go with the Nitro Yellow as it looks amazing. The unique looking Cacti Green color does not show an additional cost. So again a top trim with every option and even a color that cost the extra $395.00 you would still only be at $26,935.00
    The bargain trim and sweet spot for most I bet will be the 1RS at $23,195.00 including destination and comes with remote start, wireless apple car play, 8 inch touchscreen, led head lights, heated seats, 18 inch alloys and more. Thats a deal. You can add the Driver Confidence Package to that trim for $250.00 (includes rear cross traffic alert and lane change alert with blind zone alert) and the Sunroof Package for $795.00 but on this trim does not include wireless charging and is just the Sunroof. So with all options added to the 1RS trim it would come to $24,240.00 or if you pick an additional cost color at $395.00 it would be $24,635.00 and that includes the destination charge.
    Another popular trim will be the LT at $23,395.00 and you get additional features over the 1RS such as push button start, 11 inch touchscreen and 8 inch digital gauge cluster, less sporty 17 inch alloy wheels, single zone digital climate control vs manual dials and more. If you add every option to the LT such as the LT Convenience Package at $595.00 (includes keyless open doors/handles, heated outside mirrors, leather wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel), Driver Confidence Package at $650.00 (includes adaptive cruise control, rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert with blind zone alert) and the Sunroof Package at $895.00 (includes standard sized sunroof and wireless charging) the cost comes to $25,535.00 and if you pic an additional cost color at $395.00 it then comes to $25,930.00 including destination. In my opinion if you do this with the LT and get every option you may as well just get the top trim ACTIVE OR 2RS with all options as it is only around $1,000.00 more but comes with alot more and looks better.
    I think this will sell like crazy and is a great looking vehicle with tons or room and features. Good job GM!

      The curb weight is just over 3,000. He misspoke. But you’re right , the 3 cylinder engine is a huge turnoff. I wish they had an optional 4 cylinder either the 1.5 175 hp or even the 1.4 153 hp would be sufficient.

      @@JohnnyUkeOfficial yeah I mean I understand the base levels having the 3 cylinder to keep in that low price range but I’d gladly pay an additional $800-1000 more in the RS or Activ trim for a 4 cylinder engine. $25,995 would still be a great deal for this car if it had a better engine available. It may even get better mileage with an I4 than the unimpressive 28/32 mpg. I’m sure the balance shaft and counterweights they have to add to try make a 3 cylinder 4 stroke engine run smooth take away from the mileage and power output.

    GM made huge improvements on the Trax and it should sell based on the price and redesign. However, if they wanted to hit a grand slam having all wheel drive and a motor that has a little more power would be ideal. I understand that they want to make this a basic vehicle however, why not give it just a little more power? or offer a AWD option with the additional power? I saw in another review about the new Trax that the all wheel drive would have been an additional 2k which seems worth it. The back seat should have a AC vent for the passengers in the back along with an arm rest that offers the cup holders. Maybe add an exhaust pipe or two to give it a little more aggressive look in the back. Lastly, the antenna on the roof has to go. It's to long, with the tech available they could have opted for a smaller antenna. If they can make these changes in the future I can see the Trax being one of GM's best sellers. I ran the numbers on the Trax Activ with all the bells and whistles and it came out to $26,960. I think if they made the modifications with the suggestions I mentioned I would guess the cost of the car would be around $30,000-32,000 which is still a great deal. The new Trax Activ is great! I think it will do well and will help a lot of people that are looking for a lower priced vehicle which at this point seems like everyone. Great job GM.
