- The 2024 Trax represents Chevrolet's entry into the lower end of the U.S. car market. With its improved design, it now holds the title as Chevy's most affordable vehicle in America. Chevy is aiming to win over first-time buyers and build lasting customer loyalty. The previous version faced challenges in making a strong case for the brand, but the second-generation Trax is determined to change that narrative.
2024 Chevrolet Trax: New Design, New Engine
The 2024 Trax is a complete departure from its predecessor, sharing little in common except for the nameplate. While the previous Chevy Trax was based on the Buick Encore, the new model takes inspiration from the Buick Envista. The Envista, which also goes by the name Chevy Seeker in China, made its debut in 2022 and has been in production in South Korea. This shift in platform promises exciting changes and improvements for the upcoming Trax model.
The Buick Envista and its Chevy counterparts share the same GM platform, the VSS-F. This platform is also utilized by the Chevy Trailblazer. Interestingly, the new Trax exhibits a striking resemblance to the larger Chevy Blazer, and the designers proudly emphasized this family resemblance. Gone is the previous "egg on wheels" appearance, replaced with a more dynamic and active look. While the top-spec Trax Activ trim embraces this design direction, the lower LS, 1RS, LT, and 2RS models also boast an appealing and attractive appearance.
In comparison to its predecessor, the new Trax sits four inches lower, a change that Chevrolet claims enhances its handling capabilities. Additionally, the crossover features a six-inch longer wheelbase, an 11-inch increase in overall length, and a two-inch wider body. These dimensional changes contribute to the Trax's improved performance and spaciousness.
Significant changes also extend to the Trax's engine bay, housing a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine generating 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Notably, this engine features one less cylinder than the outgoing Trax's 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which produced 155 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque. All 2024 Trax models will be equipped with the same engine, coupled exclusively with a six-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, despite being a crossover, the Trax is offered only with front-wheel drive configuration.
Despite the smaller engine, the new Trax accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour faster than before, and fuel economy has been improved. The Trax now achieves up to 28 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway, and up to 30 mpg combined-an impressive 4 mpg increase in the city compared to the old model.
2024 Chevrolet Trax: Interior Impressions
You're familiar with the routine in modern cars: Get in, buckle up, and connect your USB cable to start Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Many cars now support wireless CarPlay or Android Auto with inductive charging for convenience, and the Chevy Trax is no exception. Simply place your phone on the wireless charging pad, and you're good to go. As someone who values audio quality and prefers hardwired connections, I still opt to plug in when given the choice.
The native interface in the Chevy Trax is functional, though it may not be the most exciting. However, the screen's information layout and the physical controls for HVAC and other functions are excellent. Apple CarPlay works as expected, and the center screen is angled towards the driver for easy access. While most buttons and dials are logically arranged, I found it hard to get used to the volume knob's placement, which also doubles as the power button.
The volume knob in the Chevy Trax is small and blends with the glossy black finish of the screen, making it difficult to see and locate easily. Reaching for it while driving can be distracting as it takes your eyes off the road. However, over time, owners may become accustomed to its placement.
In terms of interior fit and finish, the Trax meets the expectations of a modern entry-level car, and surprisingly, it feels nicer than one might expect. Despite being at the bottom of Chevy's lineup, the Trax doesn't feel cheap and offers a satisfactory level of quality.
2024 Chevrolet Trax: Price
The Chevy Trax offers a range of trims and pricing options. The base model LS starts at $21,495, while higher trims can go up to approximately $27,500 with additional options. The uppermost trims, Trax 2RS and Trax Activ, both start at $24,995. They share standard features and driver-assistance technologies, but sport different looks to cater to various preferences. The Trax Activ's color-matched front end is particularly appealing to me.

"Reaching for the volume knob may be distracting while driving". DUH - that's why they put volume buttons on the steering wheel!
We love our Trax..roomy...good gas mileage..holds the road well..great safety features..for a smaller engine (we have the RS Turbo) great pick up!
There's a difference between cheap and inexpensive. This is inexpensive not cheap.
Welcome to the RUclips😄
lol one of the top 10 least expensive new cars out there
Only time will tell.
@@carverse25 Plenty of clueless mofo regurgitating shit and others opinions.
@@branmichaluk445 I wouldn't expect it to last over 150,000 miles. But, for someone that drives 12-15K miles a year it can last 10-12 years. Its still a good deal.
Thanks for the info. I have a 2025 2RS on order. Should be here around June 2024???
My Trax, came in last week, July 3rd. I love it so far...
Though it might prove to be a really bad purchase after a few short years, I can't help but like the Chevy Trax.
Remember, that 90% of owners poorly maintain their vehicle. Then they cry its a PoS and regurgitate "Buy a Toyota".
Cheap and easy. Only question is what's going to wear out first, the engine or the turbo which will wear the dinky little 1.2 3 banger out lol.
exactly. 60 on the turbo; 120 on the 3 banger. The car is inexpensive until 60K and then cheap thereafter.
Motor, turbo timing belt are the three things. Drive sensible, change the oil every 4-5000 Miles, let it warn up and cool down. Watch and see when the timing belts start failing. I have heard Replace it every 40000 miles. This seems excessive. Would change it just before the drive train warranty expired and note the ware on it. It it looks good take the new one to 80 90000 miles
I love my new trax..early 70th birthday present to myself 🥳🎈🎁🎂
I only drive about 10,000 miles a year.I think the Trax would make sense for me
Your A.I. still can't pronounce certain words correctly.
I appreciate the affordable price, but they should have put in 4 cylinder engine instead of a 3 cylinder. That's a deal-breaker for me.
Why? What’s going to happen to the 3 cylinder?
Is a great little engine plenty of torque
For an engine that tiny, 3 cylinders is perfectly fine.
@@kenhoward3512 so I have a ram truck with a 5.7 L. I love it and we’ve had the trailblazer for about two months now that engine is really really quick you’re not gonna get a bunch of power at 70 miles an hour but driving around it’s fast very surprising..
You didnt feature the real low level.........
Why is it so cheap?
The video explains every details of why is it. 👍
That’s a good question, it’s such a click bait! The video doesn’t mention one single reason saying why is cheap! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@carverse25 No thumbs up either.
Maybe it's not cheap, it's just that was so programmed to overpay for vehicles.
Cheap is in trade in value,thats the problem in will be only two years and lose 50% of value.
Yeah because that's really how the market is going lol....
Keep it until it breaks down 😅
I'll have it paid off in a year.
You didn't answer the question in your thumbnail, so Click bait. Thumbs down.
Relatively throughout the video given all the information that answers WHY Is IT
If the engine was any smaller in this Trax you'd have to do the Fred Flintstone paddle to get the thing going.😂😂😂
Have you driven one?
Bro not true. Just drove from maine to key west. No issues
GM has been building these engines for over 4 years and they've been holding up well. I'm sure there are some high mileage examples out there by now and I haven't heard of any issues. The factory warranty could be better and would give new owners peace of mind. Still, it looks to be a great vehicle.
I have one and it can keep up with any 4 cylinders and I don't drive slow okay
It is a Chevy......which means cheap! Just look at the material used. Then there is the engine.
Doesn’t look cheap to me. Looks nice!
Boomer comments.
And look at 4:24 Those Pants. WTF?
@@Paul-cx4gm you care about a guys pants?????
Needs a vortec v6
Use your own voice, please. It'll be better.
You're cheap 😁
Cheaper can be only candies😁
electric trax
It’s not electric.
They didn't mention that's it made in Korea. I'd say boycot chevy too
If every single thing you have bought isnt American made then shut up. Stop crying
What’s wrong with South Korea, are you thinking North Korea. US does no business with North Korea, they produce nothing.
Around the one minute mark he did mention Korea
They don't have DEI in Korea.
It is a cheap car in every way. Particularly in the power department. 137 horse power???!!! You can not be serious. That is why it is cheap. It is a drive around car in the city or for teenagers and not viable for long trips or weekend getaway with a lousy small engine.
it actually accelerates decently, do a test drive
The remaining question is how it will hold up over time and the effect that it will have on its resale value.
It has 162 ft-lbs of torque, which is ample for a 3000 lb. vehicle.
1.2 liter 3 cylinder Turbo.?? 124 hp.?? No thanks. This is a throw away car. And it's a Chevy. Slow Slow Slow. Stay off the Highway
137 hp.
0-60 mph in 9 seconds Isn’t fast but it’s not “slow, slow, slow”. You speed demons will be sorry someday when you kill or cripple somebody because you think you are so important. Or when someone you love is killed because some arrogant moron is in a hurry.
@@spol1622 My bad. That 13 extra horsepower should make a difference. JEEZ
@@kellyfoster3521 It does fine on the freeway for me, you must be a 20 year old who wants 300hp cars, this engine has been around for quite a while and is fine.
@@kellyfoster3521 car accelerates pretty well, good torque too
