I never understood why people care if the dashboard is hard touch. I understand and agree with wanting soft touch on armrests, but unless you plan on resting your head on the dashboard and awkwardly trying to take a nap I don't see the big deal. I never even touch my dash unless I'm wiping the dust off.
Very true who cares save the money and make the car cheeper or better quality parts that actually matter !
Exactly. As long as there are no creaks, squeaks, and rattles it doesn't matter.
The armrests in the Trax are hard, unfortunately.
💯
Soft materials help acoustics and absorb road noises. Plastics echo, fade and eventually crack. Thus the difference.
Nice to see affordable cars haven't gone fully extinct yet.
I think you just thrust it into extinction 😤. Just kidding, it's a breath of fresh air.👍🏽
Emphasis on YET
> 2000 < 1.2 TURBO R3 !!! in America ? it's a desecration... plastic jaguar
Agreed!
With the absurd pricing these days, this is actually really good value and it has a lot of room for a family to grow. Cost effective and economical is something new these days...Good review.
The vehicle is the result of greedy corporations that forgot the average person and its nice to see the GM actually realized it..great review guys
Thanks!
I've had my Crimson 2RS since last August and have about 14k miles. I love it! It's fun and comfortable. I've done a few videos about it. I average 29 mpg and that's fine in the real world.
bought Crimson 1RS om Dec.23/23 4800 miles. terrible gas mileage. 23mpg. Thought maybe cold weather. maybe breaking in.changed the winter tires to summer. Still terrible. Dropped it off at dealer - "defective fuel injector. from factory''
I have one of these in fountain blue. It is a fantastic vehicle for the money. Really enjoy driving it.
the fountain blue is the best color for this car, it's worth the extra cost in my opinion
@@MrPootzen I think so too. One year color. Wonder what new Marina blue looks like?
@@ccc3350I'll have to see the 2025 in person to figure out if it's worth upgrading 😅
We bought a black one several weeks ago and are super happy with it.
Great little SUV crossover vehicle. Has many features my C300 Coupe (21) doesn’t. Nice having a touch screen for the daily driver.
Gentlemen I've had my LT for 1 month & not quite broke in but the tire squeelin gets more every week they even barked between 1st an 2nd it was wonderful and the mor miles i put on it gas mileage goes up. It's the tork that gets it going NOT the horsepower keep up the great reviews
It looks good, it’s a really really good price!!!!
I ordered one from the factory because there are NONE on dealer lots!! This is such a popular car, I cannot wait to get mine! By the way you mention the fancy climate control and digital dash on LT and above which is NOT correct. You have to get the HIGH LEVEL LT for this and the 1RS also does NOT have these options, only the 2RS does. Just a note for other potential buyers.
They're more plentiful now. 7 of them at my local dealer.
Fantastic! This car looks like a great value for money. It is very refreshing to see in this day and age.
i bought a chevy cruze in 2016 only for the miles per gallon and was not very enthusiastic about a 1.4 turbo cuz im an old school chevy guy. i just gave my 155000 mile cruze to my daughter which still has original battery and only have put tires and brake pads and regular maintenance. chevy cruze has been a wonderful car also i dont drive like an idiot and take care of all things i own. i just bought a new 2024 trax with a 1.2 3 cykinder (wth) but this is how i felt when i bought the cruze. i have faith with regular maintenance and not flooring it after every red light that this trax will last me years for minimum cost. this is a very nicely equipped suv for a low price. take your electric somewhere else here in northern mn the battery cars dont do too good.
Excellent review guys. Trax is an attractive choice. GM please get a Shark 🦈 fin antenna ,make a Power drivers seat available on LS thru 2 RS.
Its only available on the ACTIV trim.
Bravo great review i have a Trax 2rs and i love it.
Fantastic review as always!😸
Cute car, but NTSA is showing lots of electrical problems with the 2024 Trax and even some blown engines.
They're not wrong. I'm in a 2024 Chevy Trax Facebook group and there have been many complaints about electronic issues affecting the gauge cluster, infotainment, AC, and power windows right off the dealership lot. Oddly, there are people with 20k miles saying they've had none of these common issues.
Do you guys live at the north pole ? Because you boys are Always wearing winter coats and gloves in your videos
@@palebeachbum First model year is always a risk unfortunately. Hopefully they work out the kinks down the line
@@skyiswomb1 yeah, first model year or two is always a risky purchase. I bought a new Elantra in 2018, which was the 2nd year of the new design. Mine had problems with the engine, transmission, and suspension.
@@palebeachbum A gambling man haha
Yes of course guys & I might try to buy this.
Great review guys…. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
That cacti green is gorgeous. I like that color with the black rims.
Trax, Blazer, Blazer Ev, Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe....that's just Chevy. GM is whooping on Asian Brands I love it!!!! Lol
Imo this is one of the best in its class. Its definitely best looking in my opinion. The only the that tops this is the cx-30.
Great review Drew and Mason.
I have a new trax 2rs and I regularly get above 30 mpg and the best I’ve been able to get is nearly 45 mpg. An efficient engine for sure.
Bought one yesterday cacti 💚
Congrats!
For the price all those features are great. Just checked and msrp on the activ is 23,900. Wow. Now it's time to wait and see what the safety and crash ratings are.
Turbo making less than 140 horses is very impressive for some kind of motocycle. Reliability and resale value probably will be matching the engine.
How are you strobing those headlights?
Wth?!? It sounds like a V6 😭. I had to replay the first acceleration twice to make sure I was hearing the right thing 😂. It sounds like the old tacoma in a sense. That really caught me off guard and im impressed.
It sounds like a motorcycle engine to me.
3 cylinder engines often sound like v6 ones depending on the timing. Think of it as half a v6.
Love your content! I bought a new Chevy Malibu because of your review. I needed a car instead of an SUV due to my mother being in a wheelchair so she could get in and out easy. I wonder if you are related to Peggy Hardesty? She is the best heart professional at the University of Kentucky. Anyway thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.
Thanks, glad we could help! I don't think we are directly related but maybe somewhere along the line
Wonder what the door handle is like opening in icy conditions. Pushing a button inside the handle sounds like trouble.
An excellent review, and that's coming from someone who has done some review drives over the years. Don't worry about your mpg display - you were beating the he11 out of that car and it still averaged 24. My niece bought the Activ in Cayenne Orange in January and she just drove it from NYC down to your area - her dad (my brother) lives in Andover Hills. She got 41mpg on the drive there and back, and she's averaging around 28 in suburban NYC commuting. You were wise to mention the torque vs horsepower rating. Stupid people will always dwell on horsepower but it's meaningless unless you drive the car around with the tach over 6. Torque is what spins the tires, and the 162 on the Trax comes on around 2000rpm while the Kia Soul's Atkinson 2.0 makes a bit less torque at over 4000rpm. All that twist at low rpm is what makes the car feel so strong. It's an awesome car for the money. The engine will last of you change the oil every 4k miles. DI engines are very dirty and little engines need clean oil. That's not a Chevy thing - that's true for anything with direct injection and it goes double for little suitcase-sized engines with a turbo.
Thanks!
Bring back the Chevy LUV
Bought a black one of these with 17 inch wheels, silver rims.It rides great drives great and that torque is real. Wife chirped the tires pulling out the other day and she says it does it a lot. She is 62 and not trying.Her old car was a Kia with a 1.6.
Great job, guys. Please note that in the RESALE section at 26:22, you show "Jeep" instead of "Chevrolet."
Our apologies, thanks for pointing it out
Wonderful review. My engine block on my 2014 Soul crashed and I need a new car. I am really thinking about this one. I really appreciate the review. I was not thrilled with the idea of a 3 cylinder. But I like the six-speed automatic over the CVTs.
Thanks! Glad you found the review helpful!
no paddle shifters?! Thank God that trend is dying off
It's a good looking vehicle
25,000 is still a LOT of money for me, sell them for 15k and i can say its “affordable”
Chevy did a great job with the styling. It's a tempting CUV, but I'm suspicious of the long-term reliability. A tiny engine stressed by a turbo, gasoline direct injection, and a wet timing belt? That's not a winning formula for a simple, dependable engine. On top of that, owners are reporting a lot of issues related to the electronics.
I’m a ‘Chevy’ guy, owned a 2015 LS FWD Trax in Silver…it was $20,995…out the door, brand new. Back then I considered that price a bit high for what the model and trim offered. Today, I feel the same about this reincarnation of what I used to have back then. If this vehicle would have a starting price, of say…$16,190 for the base-trim, ‘LS’ trim, and then…maybe $18,999 for the ‘LT’ trim after that…I’d be okay with that. I don’t like the fact the driver-seat is ‘manual’ adjusting for all the lower trims, except the top one. 🙄
19:33 Those are nice "Down" jackets.
C.C.'s The Trax looks great I need a second car with good gas mileage, I Have $4800 Points on my Marcus G.M. Card, But I don't trust gm anymore, I wish I could use the points for Mazda Toyota or Honda!
The deal killer is they aren't AWD. I have a Buick Encore, which is basically this car but slightly shorter wheelbase... it has the 1.3L Turbo which is a bit more fast and it's gas efficient too with an 8 speed tranny I believe. But the fact that I can't get AWD means it's a no for me since I live in Colorado. At least I couldn' find one in AWD yet, maybe they aren't out yet?
Now this is one great looking little CSUV. If GM has really tamed the ride on those 19 inch donuts I'd be interested
With that tiny engine it should be getting better gas mileage imo.
This color is fire! 🚒👩🏾🚒
If there was an AWD Trax that'd be a steal
When and where did y'all film this....its been 80 -90 degrees in Raleigh for weeks and all my long / winter clothing have been stowed!? Maybe you could trade your new 2024 Kia even $$$ for this Chevy! Lol Great looking and priced to sell...I am just not sold on the long-term durability of these 3 cyl. blown engines!
We filmed this probably a month ago but the weather in KY can be hot or cold at any moment
It looks like a great deal, but time will tell. I'd have to see how that tiny motor is holding up 4 years from now. I'd go Nissan Kicks
It’s a couple grand more but with resale a Corolla cross would be less in the long run if you can swing it (it is very boring however, but do people buy this kind of car and care about how interesting it is)
More Japanese propaganda bullsh!t. 🙄
Chevrolet knocked this out of the park. This is the same motor and transmission in the Buick so I expect it to be smooth and reliable.
@@G-Ratedchevys are trash. Had a coworker’s Chevy Trax blow it’s engine on the highway at 4,000 miles on the odometer.
@@BrianYYHsure lil bro 😂
AWD and rear vents please chevy? And you have my attention..
You should make this your long term replacement for the Hyundai that got bought back
I definitely get above what the mfg mog and I drive above the speed limit. So not sure what is happening on your mfg you are getting.
I just wish it had rear seat ac vent s
Not sure what you mean by advanced version of LED headlights they all have LED headlights on all trims so that sounds very confusing what you’re saying
soon we will see how they will install one cylinder and seven turbines
Wet belt engine?
I love the front end and inside. But the taillights are terrible
I would never trust a 3 cylinder turbo engine let alone one from GM.
Once you get use to the car and learn how to drive it you will get way better fuel economy. Just have to figure out what the engine wants to get it.
overstressed/underpowered engine with two wet timing belts sounds like questionable reliability at best, and a recipe for disaster at worst. would definitely buy an extended warranty if considering this vehicle.
I think it's made in Korea . I'd definitely buy the extended warranty if keeping it long term.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would be afraid of the longevity of the 3-cylinder engine. Ford uses a 1.5 3-cylinder in the Bronco Sport and it is a POS! The Trax is good-looking, but!
Who would ever buy a Chevy?
I just bought a brand new C8, I bet you would retract your statement if you spent a day in a new C8
3 cylinders is a turned off for. The car looks nice though.
Add 3 more and see you drive one out the door ?Then 8 will make it great? 12 will make it a debate ? 😢
Try a 7 year test but we all know it’ll fall apart and be an endless money-pit!!!
That sounds like very poor mileage for the size of the engine to me.
Chevy should call this what it is. A station wagon. Remember those?
That’s what all SUV’s are. And people want them
I like the Chevy trax but at the hearing those hard touches I don't know I should buy it. Maybe a Hyundai Kona limited probably
GM always has had hard surfaces. But since this is the least expensive vehicle I would not xonk it. Homage to raitis rides. Lol...
A Kona limited is a 32K car or in other words 30% more expensive. Not even in the same price range tbh. Hell even a base civic costs more than 25K with destination
I heard the kona has a probability of spontaneously exploding.
look for high mileage hyundai or kia for sale.. i couldnt find any. Is it because nobody ever sells or they never make it to high mileage vehicle. check it out for yourself am i crazy or what ,
seen cruze with 300000
Wish it was AWD
That thing in the background is so rusty 😆 But nice video and this Trax is pretty cute
Where is it built ? Is it built by Chevrolet or some other manufacturer in China or else ?
It is built in their South Korean factory
Wet timing belt = disposible engine
I take that over all honda hrv toyota chr and all korean shit. Thx for the review guys
This car is made in Korea. lol
@@palebeachbum lolll extra lol Who cares
Made in Korea bud.
Its worst feature is in your first sentence, 1.2L 3 cylinder turbo 😂
Hope that overtaxed engine holds up
i just bought one and its really good if you know how to drive a small engine with a turbo. takes a little know how.
I like the design of the Trax, but I won't buy one because of the 3-cylinder engine. Chevrolet should have used a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine that would last the life of the car. That little turbo charged engine will be lucky to last 150,000 miles without serious problems. Most don't understand how hard that little turbo charged engine has to work. Yes, the manufactures are getting the fuel numbers they are required., but at a cost of longevity and reliability. With a turbo charged engine, the more you boost the engine, the more fuel you consume, and turbo charged engines produce lots of heat and regular oil changes are required for any gas turbo charged engine. One positive thing Chevrolet did with the Trax was NOT use a CV transmission. I won't buy any vehicle with a CVT. Time will tell how reliable that little 3 banger will be when it reaches 100,000 plus miles.
my 2016 second gen cruze
has been the best vehicle ive ever owned. i was scared of the 1.4 turbo because i was an old school chevy guy but the cruze out handled out accelerated , 44 mpg on average highway to work every day and now have given that car to my daughter and bought a 2024 trax. i have good feelings about this 1.2 3 cylinder set up but time will tell. my cruze was/is awesome i hope chevy does the same with the trax. . take care of your car and dont drive like an idiot and i think most any car nowadays will treat you well.
have known cruze 1.4 to go over 300000
and still sold for 5000
Some people lease and don’t care what happens to the car after their 3 year/30k miles are up
I see these brand new everywhere. Ppl are buying this Chevy Trax like hot cakes. Why??? Because Toyota is boringgggg. By 2025 GM will have beaten the Asian Brands. And Ford?....Already annihilated Asian Car brands
This car has an engine design whereby the timing belt is in the oil compartment. Engine oil will not be kind to that timing belt. I think that's going to be a problem down the road with this car.
I don't understand the logic behind that design, unless they think the oil will keep it lubricated to last longer. Supposedly it's supposed to last the life of the engine, but who knows how long that is. 100k miles? 200k miles?
🎉❤🎉❤❤❤❤
I posit it is not a suv as it is fwd only, so just a raised hatchback....imo, a suv has, or at least offers, awd. Also, expansion joints are not "bridge abutments"
I’m sorry, did they say 137hp?? 😂
Y’all need to tell us if you’re biological brothers or street brothers cause here in the hood we take being street brothers real serious boo boo!!!! And that car is too tiny for my yams!!!! Not even one can fit in that little thing!!!!
im 6-4 and if seat all the way back i cant reach pedals.
Koreans are the reason its still going. They bought alot. So its designed for them. Its now 2wd. Useless in most states people purchase the car. Purfect for south korea.
i live in northern mn and have never had a 4 wheel drive . if you how to drive 99% of the time 4 wheel drive is not needed.
About 24K is the BASE price. You can't get it " fully loaded" for 25K at all.
loaded for 24500 just bought today
@eugenepeters-rb8xu yeah, prices are falling cause the car market is crashing.....I bought my daughter one 3 months ago and a fully loaded ACTIV was $27,800.
New Nissan Kicks will take this out of business very soon.
a trash CVT of course not
@@petteremmartz I don’t think you have driven a Nissan you just go by what people telling you or you are a Honda driver.
@@imercipuri8790 I bought a new Nissan in 2012 and the CVT started slipping at 38k miles. My coworker friend's 2015 Sentra CVT had to be replaced at 56k miles. They're trash.
@@imercipuri8790 that was my previous car and its a trash. You can check by yourself the score the Kicks received in this channel, 1 point only.
@@petteremmartz I drove the 2022 Kicks SV from New York to Clear water Florida it gets the job done the new one will be much better and I have owned 2 maximas from 2007 to 2018 trust me Nissan is not a bad company compared to GM
Hard pass!
Dude you wanna gain credibility, bruh loose the shades. Look at viewers eye to eye.
Affordable but piece of crap...
How do you know? Have you driven one ? Do you own one?
Just curious how you came to this conclusion!
do you own one?
