I am typically not a GM fan, but I really give Chevy credit for a nice looking small SUV at this price point. Great review.
I bought a Mazda3 for a similar price. Although mine is a sedan it has a 191hp non-turbo and the ride is better than any SUV I have ever ridden in, including a Volvo, Land Rover, and Lexus. The Mazda is also dead silent while driving. I have no objection to GM’s 3 cylinder, I’ve owned many cars that have had far less HP, including an Audi diesel with 56hp.
@@Notfiveo0was gonna get a mazda. However the prices on them are going up. In order to get a mazds with comparable features it was gonna cost around the same as the new trax with 25k miles on it.
I give Chevy credit for bringing out affordable vehicles. If you want AWD, there’s the Trailblazer, just a bit more costly
Trailblazer is so ugly though
Trailblazer also compromises on space. It’s smaller than the ‘24 Trax.
They cheapened the Trax by subtracting the rear wheel drive. It was a great economy car…now it’s not .
Living in Midwest, I can say you only need Front Wheel. I have driven front wheels and AWD. Both have been great in snow
I just got the LT model . I love it it has alot of great features like heated seats, steering wheel and heated mirrors. My son and husband are about 6’ and can sit in the vehicle comfortably. I also love how smooth the vehicle rides on the road.
It's ridiculous that Andre had to check an option package to get cruise on a 41K Colorado, but it's standard on a 21K vehicle. Talk about auto manufacturers nickel and dime buyers.
The package is a few hundred dollars and includes some other small features such as a locking tailgate. Nothing too earth-shattering. I agree that for $41k it should have cruise control included. The package on the new Colorado/Canyon is very odd. The fancy digital gauge cluster and touch screen are standard, but something as basic as cruise control is optional. Weird. Keep in mind, at $41k he basically bought a work truck model with the unpainted facia and vinyl upholstery. Other than fancier wheels and the extra cost paint color, I don't know what drove the price up to $41k.
I imagine the lack of Cruise is to keep costs down for fleet purchases, but yeah it's weird it's not standard on trims higher than Base. Even the first year Maverick had cruise on the XLT and higher, and only omitted it on the XL trim
@@AHungryHunky that's a good point about keeping entry price lower by omitting cruise for fleet sales.
It’s the truck market. It’s been like that forever. I’ve always bitched about it. You either have to pay extra or buy a higher trim.
So they made it wider, longer, and shorter. Wagons are back, baby!
2RS, and loaded it's just below 27,000.00. A lot of vehicle for the price. I drove one and you will be surprised with the power of the I-3 turbo.
They just started getting these at the local dealership. And I didn’t even know what it was at first lol! It’s just a 1000% better looking than the old one!
This young man does a wonderful job
And he is yummy looking😮😢
@@thegoober8797, he looks like an "Only Fans" model. 🤣
I missed this when it first posted. Great review, Dirk! Your personality really pops off the screen. Big things ahead for you! Informative, professional, easy to watch and enjoy! And just like you, Dirk, Chevy has scored big points with the new Trax just as you predicted. Great job, all!
The new Trax makes the previous model look like a tin can. I read that GM actually started to ship the new Trax in from South Kora before they announced the 2024 Trax. Dealers are already receiving them to sell and their selling as soon as they hit the dealers lot. I think GM has a winner on it's hands. The new Trax looks great and is very affordable. Cheers!!!
Agree.............
@@bextar6365 Yes.
Thank you for the feedback
I'm about to go get the RS. It would be nice to have a twin turbo in it.
It would be cool if Chevy put the high output 4-cylinder in it and called it an “SS.” I think they would actually sell a fair amount, because the packaging is quite good for the price.
SS w/ AWD standard. You may be onto something here…
But then it wouldn't be under 24k.
HA! As if GM had the foresight to make good decisions when it comes to performance options. No SS Silverado to compete against the Raptor, no ATSV Turbo 6 in the Canyon to make and dominate a new segment, fast midsizes, no near 800hp camaro to compete against the hellcat, demon, and gt500, instead they just cancel it. If it has the possibility of being fast and fun GM will avoid it like the plague. What is the point of having a great engine blueprint if you aren't going to go crazy with it like dodge. The new 2.7 4 cylinder is an LS cut in half, that opens up a world of opportunity that won't be realised.
@@sonofagun1037 just FYI, the zr2 Silverado is a raptor competitor
@@sonofagun1037 SS Silverado for WHO?? You are one of those delusional folk who believe that GM’s only purpose for existing is to chase Ford and Dodge around the market begging for their customers’ attention as if *gm* has no customer base of their own to satisfy. 🤡
We’re talking about the Trax, and here you are whining & complaining because GM continues to pay the Ford Raptor & Ram TRX segment complete and utter dust. Lol. GM apparently had the foresight to create the first mass produced American exotic supercar and managed to keep it attainable. Where are the attainable mid-engine exotic sports cars from Ford and Stellantis to directly compete against the Corvette C8?
Where are the Bronco EV and Durango EVs to compete against the Hummer SUV. Why hasn’t Ford or Stellantis bothered to offer a hand built V8 motor to their Lincoln and Jeep customers whom they expect to turn their noses up at comparable Cadillac products?
The reality is GM has clearly and successfully separated themselves from the rest of American automakers, including Tesla. Both GM’s ICE and EV products are superior. They’re beginning to compete with themselves.
I got the RS this weekend and it’s really a sweet affordable ride. I’m pretty happy with it. This is the best for the price point.
I'd get the Activ because it's the only trim you can get the power seat with. I'm an inch taller than Andre and I need to be able to tilt the front of the seat up to get better thigh support and slightly more legroom.
Awesome review man! You never stuttered at all 👌👍
The Chevy Trax is not made in the U.S, its made entirely in South Korea and shipped to North America
That's a GOOD thing!
Oh wow
It's a rebranded Daewoo made in the same factory. Those were horrible vehicles and I expect nothing better from them. They just bought the Chevy name for them. Good luck with them lasting. I would get a mazda cx 30 if you want a new vehicle.
Thanks for the comparison info. Helps one to decide upon a specific model.
Well done GM. Trax is punching well above its weight.
As long as you are traveling downwind and downhill... what sad is the 1.3T is both higher horsepower and higher fuel economy, there are no downsides. Better yet, a Nissan Rogue is almost double the power and 37mpg highway vs the 32mpg highway of this smaller and lighter vehicle
@@BoopSnoot The Rogue is heavier and *needs* more power.
@@G-Rated Yeah the Rogue is bigger, and yet rated 37mpg highway, that shows they put a much more advanced powertrain in it. I would pay $30K for a Buick version with a better engine. My Rogue S is 3452lbs according to the door jam, divided by 201hp is 17lbs/hp. I would guess the Trax won't be under 3200lbs divided by 137hp is 23lbs/hp so I expect 10-11 seconds 0-60 vs 8 seconds for the Rogue.
This guy puts me to sleep
@@BoopSnoot What is the starting price of a Rouge ?
Personally, I prefer the analog gauges in the base model vs the digital screen in the upper trims. If there was an option to get allow rims and push button in the base that’s what I’d buy. I don’t care about the other stuff like automatic climate control screens. I can do manual. Also, option to not have gloss black on the gear shift and bottom of the steering wheel.
I agree, I just got a base trax yesterday after a month wait.gauges are nice.
Never had a GM car before, and this one will be the first one I will consider.
Don't do it , the low qualityness is true lol
The 1RS trim in Nitro Yellow would be my choice, with the optional sunroof and switchblade key(seriously!)
Fantastic review on the model lineup.Chevy has a winner here. May trade my 22 Equinox Equinox LT for the Trax.❤
this is looking very similar to the Chevy Montana platform that is only offered in Mexico and South America. The newest Montana is ALSO only offered in a FWD drivetrain with the 3 cyl turbo. I'd love to see a compact pick up from Chevy in the U.S to compete with the Ford Maverick!
Your office is not alone in liking physical controls. I don't know many people what like having everything controlled via a touchscreen.
Chevy hit it out of the park with this hatchback.... Errrrr suv errrrr crossover... A lot of car for the money.
I'm loving the RS type and that color is gorgeous ❤❤❤
I love the three trims side-by-side . . .
- The key is what you paid for at the bottom tier, but those cloth seats look great, the accents make it look nice and that 8in Chevy screen seems solid in all of the GMs I have seen it in.
- The Activ is solid, dual screens, a bitty moon roof and the seats are a nice step up.
- That colour, different shades of yellow-gold, has suddenly become very popular . . . I first saw something like it in the preproduction Seltos, and most lately with Toyota and Andre's Colorado . . . and I like it!
- Hmmmm I go with the Activ in Nitro-Yellow . . .
. . . but in the Mountain West, I really do need AWD. Sad.
That yellow-gold color is also available on the Mitsubishi Mirage.
I believe this is on the same platform and drivetrain as the new Buick Envista.
@@johnnyedifyYup everything the same pretty much. Don't like the styling as much. But I did like how the door panels have a better arm rest for those long trips. The Buick is the boomer version of the Trax.
Glad your getting some screen time Chase. We've routed for you. As feedback goes, please don't fall into the traps a lot of journalist have while speaking with periods in between every word. Just friendly advice from a fan.
How did Andre forget to order the convenience package for this truck 😮
I saw one of these around town, I kind of like their look, they almost have a wagon look with how low and streched they are.
When the camera panned out at 10:48 the color looked like it went from gold to yellow. Very cool paint job, Chevrolet! Unique. I’ve never seen it done in this hue.
Is it an extra cost color ?
@@bextar6365 yes, but cheap! $395
@@chrisiden1 Free is cheaper !!
I've not liked Chevy in a long time, but they seem to be upping their game lately. The Trailblazer, Colorado, and now this new Trax are all compelling products. I'm not financially ready to pull the trigger on a new vehicle, but this Trax is definitely on my list, along with the related Buick Envista. The Trax looks good, seems nicely packaged, and the pricing is incredibly good. 5 trims in total to choose from ranging from $20k-$25k. The lack of AWD is fine by me. I live in Florida, so I'd prefer FWD for its mechanical simplicity and lower price. The 3cyl turbo seems a little low on horsepower, but the torque number is healthy for this class of vehicle. The seat-of-the-pants feeling is what matters to me, not so much the numbers on paper. My biggest concern is reliability and overall quality. A cheapest-in-class vehicle wearing a Chevy badge? Hmm.
The problem with the 1.2 is longevity. These small high boost output engines seriously need water injection systems. Without it they burn themselves up in as few as 15k. Sure GM pays for the motor that time but what about next time?
My Chevy Cruze limited is probably going to be the last Chevy I buy. It’s been relatively good. The stuff I have had to replace (water pump, coolant tank, heater core) haven’t been too bad to replace but still. Only had 50k miles
@@n_conway7571 those issues shouldn't be happening at such low miles.
I do like that the screen is angled more towards the driver
2:00 That physical key can also be used as defense if some joker wants to steal your new Trax from you! LOL
I'd stick with the base model. I prefer analog gauges any day over a crappy screen that costs thousands to replace. From what I see in the video, the base model appears to have tires with a taller sidewall, which means a smoother ride.
I’m sick of computers in my car! Does the lt trim have the analog too?
@@candicerenn4783 No, the LT trim gets the big digital screens. Only LS is analog.
@@braetonwilson4296 There's also a 1RS with analog gauges and cloth seats - the one they showed is a 2RS.
@@nlpnt Thanks for the correction!
How often are you replacing the gauge cluster on a car?
Very sharp looking car. Not my pick for daily driving because I live in Colorado, so 4WD and AWD is my choice. But a good choice for a rental if I’m visiting somewhere during the summer days. Great review, TFL crew.
Just put on winter tires. Problem solved.
The basic one is the one I really like it!
The shades on a cloudy day
Love the stying of the Trax. I was looking at the Trax RS for my mother, but since we live in Buffalo, we need AWD, and sadly the Trax only comes in FWD.
I lived in Canada and AWD is useless if you are not a dumb driver
FYI guys as a pro detailer with my own shop piano black inside and out are the bane of m existence. So I added a pakage wherein I polish the scratches out. Just use an all in one or cleaner polish and a fine foam paid and go slow and they clean right up pretty nicely. I regularly get from 50-90% clarity. It seem as if it can be done again and again without any ill effects. hth
My only complain.... 3 cylinders turbo with small displacement. Other than that everything is ok, but no replacement for displacement
Thank the EPA
Sounds like the same narrow mindset of the mid 70s when v6 power trains were coming out.
Just ordered a 2RS in white my lease on my equinox premier matures in November so I can wait ordered when I want will be less excited than I’m paying now can’t wait
Love it. Get lots of compliments and fun to drive.
The only thing I'd like added is power seats for driver and passenger, at least as an option. Otherwise, this looks like an easy buy over much of the competition, even some that are significantly more expensive.
Thank you for sharing. I would have like to see the screens turned on through.
I like the last car in red, not yellow . :)
Funny thing 2 weeks i went to the NY auto show and no one noticed this new Trax on display😄. People was obviously looking at the Chevy Trucks and Corvette that’s it.
"SUV" is because "hatchback" is somehow a dirty word. But hatchback is exactly what they are.
😂😂😂 but I think in this case... SUV was used to shorten Stupid Ugly Vehicle.
Exactly. It's nothing more than a bloated hatchback. At least they could make jacked up wagons for a change, but nope
A very tall hatchback. Funny thing 2 weeks i went to the NY auto show and no noticed this new Trax on display😄. People was obviously looking at the Chevy Trucks and Corvette that’s it.
@@bigmoe8982 nobody noticed because it looks the same as any other crossover.😂😂
Crossover is probably the worst sounding word
I like the Active trim. I agree with other comments, a little more power would be nice. 170-180 range like a lot of little CUVs.
Unless you want to deal with a water injection system on it 137 is that little motor boosted to within an inch of its life. Any more stress and you’ll be blowing engines faster than we can get them in
@@matthewcaughey8898 good to know. Perhaps if there was an optional engine with more power, for an upcharge of course. I really like the styling of the Trax.
I like how it's morphing back into a station wagon.
I'm 68 and have never owned a Chevy...I've been a Mopar/Pontiac guy, but I'll seriously consider this Trax Active model, alongside Mazda CX50 and Hyndai Tucson.
It’s nice for a Chevy , wish they offered a all / four wheel drive version
Great new car from Chevy! Love all the looks and the price, FWD doesn't bother me a good set of snows and you will be fine! Great job Case!
So do you run the snows all year round? They won't last long if you do. In my many decades of off-roading experience, nothing beats having power going to all four tires.
@@OddTimeMan snow tires do not wear off easy as a summer tire would. Plus in those conditions due to lower speeds the tires last long. 4wd is needed only for recreational activities 95% of the time.
@@shaiapouf442 Snow tires won't last anywhere near as long as all-season tires. And my AWD gets me to work and home every Winter.
@@OddTimeMan ppl say that to justify the lower cost of all season tires. In reality I have summers on my daily and mud tires on another. A fwd car with snow tires works wonders.
A basic, decent aluminum rim is not that expensive. They should just put them on the base model and add $600 to the price. The appearance over the hubcaps would be so much nicer. I am sure they are an option but just start the base model with a real wheel since the hubcaps stand out and detract from the overall look of the car.
There is an inexpensive package that gives you alloy wheels on the base model. It’s the LS Convenience package. $995.
ALL FEATURES INCLUDED WITH LS CONVENIENCE PACKAGE:
Remote start
Heated driver and front passenger seats
Carpeted rear floor mats
Body-color heated power outside mirrors
17" Silver-painted aluminum wheels
I have a feeling that most dealers will order it that way but they did everything possible to keep the lowest MSRP for marketing.
I want steel rims and hub caps. I appreciate a wider sidweall and I don't like the looks of black allow wheels. Steel wheels stand the test of time and are more durable.
@@erich.4305You're the only one!
@@overundersidewaysdown No he isn't.
That thing has a lot of room in it. And I was surprised to see when Andre got in back behind himself that he actually fit fairly well.😀
Hey thanks for the review. Next time can you show how the adaptive cruise control works...thankz
I love the new Chevy Trax i got mine in fountain blue. also RIP on your hoodie
I got the Malibu and it has 4 cylinders. This is a 3 cylinder and it's bigger... that makes sense 😂
2RS is the trim I'd pick
Was thinking the same thing! I like the styling of the 2RS.
@@IowaPorkChop just not in that color id probably pick black
Hey Andre, I noticed your new Colorado didn’t have that fancy tailgate compartment either. Was that part of that convenience package?!!!!!!!
Personally the less tech and gadgets is a plus to me. Less to break
Only thing I worry about is the turbo. But i have a feeling this will be very popular and a good aftermarket for it.
I'm going ACTIVE, all the way. I love the black wheels, and the exterior is fantastic. Was honestly going to get a Mazda CX50, for $12,000 more.
I'm going to Activ too but i like 2rs's steering wheel is it possible to change?
I see a lot of similarity between the new Trax and the existing as well as upcoming redesigned Hyundai Kona.
Thank you for your video❤. I can see here a Subaru Crosstrek competitor 🎉
Love the activ model.
I would bet if you compare per vehicle cost with development spread out and all this engine with the turbo costs more than if they put the 2.0L n/a engine. Similar power. More torque.
the household all shares one car (a chevrolet cruze) and we're all thinking about the idea of looking into a 2024 trax, the cruze has recently passed 173k miles after 5 years of ownership and its beginning to reach the time of either trade it in now or keep it till it explodes.
I still have yet to see these in person but from what I can tell in these videos it looks like a well-equipped and styled crossover. That pricing is mind boggling in an age of inflation and ultra high MSRPs. It's a breath of fresh air and the car itself isn't a major penalty box to boot. The styling is very Blazer-esque but that's a good thing because I've always enjoyed the sharp styling of it which in itself is inspired by the Camaro. The interiors are very impressive and seem roomy given the dimensions since it looks small from the outside. I can't wait to see one in person. I keep driving through my Chevy dealership to try to catch but have had no luck yet. Not that I'm getting one but being a car guy, I love seeing all-new models coming out and getting their first impressions.
I saw someone driving one around in my area, they’re a lot shorter than I thought they would be but they looked nice. If you were to look at it for just a glance it does look a lot like a blazer. I’m really just curious how it runs and how reliability will be for people long term with the 3 cylinder and entry level components.
25k is affordable to get the big screens but John and Horace give you the big screens w 268hp ballz awd and similar 30mpg for only 29k down the street in the Hornet!
You must enjoy that low qualityness 😂
Looks great
GM has a grandslam on its hands..
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!
Wow, somebody has done his homework!
As long as it doesn't turn out as a nicer looking Chevy Cruze, they were junk.
Good job explaining low qualityness 😂😂 too bad this thing won't make it to 100k mark
@@cormaro13 so if you pay double the price to buy the equinox, it will go past 200k?
@@davidwheeler7503 u must be a chevy lover to not understand low qualityness 🤣 ,Chevy is completely junk , you'll be in the service bay more than ever to replace low quality issues , get a mazda and you'll have something that's reliable lol
Just cause u pay double the price doesn't mean the quality or reliability there 🤣🤣
nice video man. think it’s strange that they threw a 3 cylinder in there and that it’s only front wheel drive. other than that it’s a beautiful car for the price
You don't need AWD unles you're in a severe snow area. If it's necessary the Trailblazer has it whcih is almost the same thing,.
i am true blue ford guy, seen one of these on the highway and i really like the looks
The trax Active even with my upgrades my total price will be around 26k yellow with the yellow trim inside my fav color!
I feel like they’ve done a huge remodel of the Trax and only a soft update to the Trailblazer to prepare for a future off-road reboot of the Trailblazer
Why does every GM vehicle seem to check all the boxes, but upon closer inspection have some fatal flaw that disqualifies it from purchase?
A good simple car . Nice . I like it .
I've seen these in Detroit driving around and they look so good. I was really surprised at how much I liked a Trax. It's a bummer that there isn't an AWD option though for those that live in snowy environments. I get that its entry level but that usually doesn't cost a ton more to the customer. Maybe a complexity thing with manufacturing that keeps cost down?
they want u to step up into a trailblazer I guess
Doesn't matter how good the car is no AWD no deal
Just put snow tires and you are good to go. More vehicles are front wheel drive than AWD.
@@letsgetmg788 I always say "AWD is a great lie"
It gives you confidence to do dumb things like travel faster than road conditions should permit, or use "all" (3) Season tires in snow. All AWD does is help get traction in the event one or two wheels can't find it, and help accelerate/build momentum. It may help with some stability in turns on slippery surfaces, but ultimately your tires matter much more and vehicles have used all 4 wheels to stop for the better part of the last 40 years so it's not like AWD helps you stop in an emergency situation. Stopping and traction are more important than moving forward, period.
You see this every winter here when the roadside is littered with people who trusted their AWD/4x4 a little to much on the first real snow.
Edit: And I'd like to say, I'm speaking from experience and a lesson well learned. 98 Blazer, lost control mid bend at about 30mph with 4x4 engaged and the best I could do was guide it to do the least damage possible. Wore the front end of a different year and trim Blazer until the day it was scrapped as a reminder.
@Carfan678 yeah but they look quite a bit different so it would be nice to have the option in both
Looks pretty nice for what it is, but that powertrain scares me
What scared you about it?
@@jewelluscious For one, it's a stressed out three-cylinder with a wet belt set-up and underwhelming gas mileage and power. That's before we get to thinks like plastic sway bar links. It's cheap, but I wouldn't expect to get over 100K and especially not 150K. If you're comfortable with these things, then it might be worth it for you.
@@SN-cb9xj Well dang 😮 She far my Trax been go. I got 30K miles on it. Thank you for your opinion about it
@@jewelluscious That's just my theory. It may very well be a tank. Only time will tell. Good luck! It really is a cool car, and I was thinking hard about getting one, but I think I'd be better served with a more expensive vehicle.
I believe the 2020s are entering another golden age for vehicles 😮
Assuming you can actually get one at MSRP it seems like a solid car
😂😂😂
How does the new trax compare in size to the Trailblazer? Looks like it would be pretty similar
I dont know what to do with my Hands..... - Ricky Bobby
The musturd yellow color is nice
Looks amazing looks nothing like the previous model I think Chevy hit a home run with this SUV looks amazing I'm not a Chevy guy but this car is amazing
This is a great looking vehicle and the price is right. I suspect it won't sell in large numbers, however, because people just aren't aware of the existence of this crossover.
Curios. If its bigger than the Trailblazer, why didnt they put the 1.3 turbo instead!? 155hp makes more sense than the 137hp of the 1.2.
Because most people don’t really care about speed and would prefer the better fuel economy of a smaller, weaker engine to the higher power ratings.
@@unconventionalideas5683 But wouldnt have a bit more horsepower help with fuel economy? Looks kinda heavy for a 1.2 engine.... And the more the engine is strained, the more it "drinks".
Tom cruise doing car reviews for tfl he did a great job very in depth and informative.👏
Active has wider tires too!
Looks way better than the new HRV.
Step change for the Trax in design/appeal and the right vehicle at the right time... they'll sell like hotcakes. People in the market for these cars won't be bothered by the less than steller engine and trans.
😍KASE 👏👏👏 CAMERA NINJA ANDRE ...........THANKS GUYS .. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEDNESDAY EVERYONE ✌️
I will admit, I like this Trax more than the outgoing one. I'm glad they took some styling cues from the Trailblazer and tossed the frumpy "used soap" design aside. I was wondering what was going to happen with the Trax with the Trailblazer around.
Interior is leagues above the outgoing Trax/Equinox which I referred to as the "old man special"
Edit: Just got to the pricing, It seems like this competes with the Hyundai Venue and Kia Soul, and it makes a very compelling argument. And my pick is the Activ, why? Because I'm a sucker for neon green or orange highlights.
I think for Mexico, LS version comes with 17" aluminum rims.
This vehicle would be real steal with hybrid and not mediocre fuel mileage in its segment.
Really love the look. Was really hoping for some sort of hybrid but maybe it will come?
Honestly this is an impressive package and value proposition from chevy. An SS version with 200 to 225 HP with body kit would be awesome and they could totally do that for sub 30k and I think it would sell very well. As it is though this is a nice package.
Hell I’d just be happy with an SS version that has the 1.5 4 cylinder from the Equinox. Even 175 hp would make this little suv fairly peppy. Throw in a dual outlet muffler with some nice tips in the rear bumper. Remember its still a budget entry level car you don’t want to get Carried away where the price goes up dramatically.
A 3-cylinder turbo from Chevrolet. What could possibly go wrong?
Even worse they have a 1.2 version and a 1.3 that make a few more hp. Just give everyone the 1.3 for Pete sakes.
All new Traxes come with mechanic in back seat....you are going to need one!
Probably nothing. It’s made in Korea.
@@TheCarCrazyGuy sorry but if you think Korean cars are full of quality because of Hyundai and Kia… you’re very wrong. The number of recalls, stolen cars, engine fires is very concerning.
Nothing...
i feel like the Activ is the best all around mine is on its way
Personally it looks amazing. Big step up from last gen, and it better be for the price.
Better be???? It’s legit cheaper than the old one, a maxed out one is only $25k
@Michael the last one you could get under 20k starting though.
@@Michael-eg3hc It's not cheaper. The last gen Chevy Trax had huge manufacturer cash rebates and huge dealer discounts. People were paying 6-8 thousand dollars under MSRP and no one paid even close to MSRP. This new Trax will be MSRP or higher. New Trax is nicer and also more expensive.
@@scottbast3678 the 2022 trax started at $21,700, but the 2024 trax starts at $21,495
@@braetonwilson4296 this one will too eventually, but the msrp is still lower, and I bet the profit margins are much more narrow with the 2024
Andre if you’re spending $41,000 on a Colorado I think it should come with cruise control at least.
I think these cars will be very successful. Good job GM
😂😂 only the poor and stupid think that
