2024 Chevrolet Trax review // This one's a shocker. That price!

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2024 Chevrolet Trax subcompact suv. With a starting price of $24,530 CAD/$20,400 USD, the Chevrolet Trax is an affordable option. It’s not a powerhouse but it sure is a great daily driver with a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. This is a FWD model but with a good set of winter tires, you may be just fine without AWD.
The Chevrolet Trax has grown, it’s 11” longer and 2” wider than the previous model and has 7.3” of ground clearance. It comes standard with LED headlamps, body coloured door handles, hidden exhaust tips, 17” wheels, available 18” and 19” wheels and a compact spare tire.
Standard features on the new 2024 Chevrolet Trax include an 8” touchscreen, 3.5” driver display, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, manual heated cloth front seats, a 4-speaker audio system, active noise cancellation, a manual liftgate and Chevrolet Safety Assist.
In the US, heated front seats are not standard, but are available in both the LS and LT packages.
The 1RS Chevrolet Trax adds the heated steering wheel, the LT has cloth and Evotex seats which is leatherette, a 6-speaker audio system, 11” touchscreen and 8” driver display. The Activ and 2RS models add a power driver’s seat and Evotex upholstery. Available features include, a sunroof and a wireless charger.
The 2024 Chevrolet Trax does not offer extra features like ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a power passenger seat, driver seat memory or a power tailgate. However, the price reflects that and all of these features are not typical in the subcompact class. The Kia Seltos is the only model that offers all of these features.
Chevrolet Trax fuel economy is 8.3L/100 km, 28 MPG city and 7.4L/100 km, 32 MPG highway
Here’s the pricing for all the other trims available, Chevrolet Trax 1RS $26,030 CAD/$22,100 USD
Chevrolet Trax LT $28,930 CAD/$22,300 USD, Chevrolet Trax Activ $31,030 CAD/$23,900 USD and Chevrolet Trax 2RS $31,030 CAD/$23,900 USD.
The Chevrolet Trax Activ model has a more contemporary look with 18” black wheels, a black grille with chrome accents and Activ badging. The interior is comfortable, spacious and clean with black leatherette upholstery, yellow accents, a power driver’s seat, heated front seats a heated steering wheel, a 6-speaker audio system, the larger 11” touchscreen with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto and an 8” driver display.
The Chevrolet Trax is missing some features but the lower price point reflects that. It doesn’t offer a power tailgate, a power passenger seat, driver seat memory, ventilated front seats or heated rear seat. This is also a FWD model but with a good set of winter tires, you may find this is all you need.
This Chevrolet Trax is not a powerhouse but it’s a great city driver with a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque.

I dont like when vloggers always say it's a great first car for someone younger. It's a GREAT car for anyone!!! Im 54 and i love it!!!

I'm a Canuck living in Changwon, Korea where these are made. There was a lot of rejoicing when we got the contract to build these here! The Trax saved a lot of jobs here! Now, they can hardly keep up with demand! Good for Chevy!

How all of us survived for decades without AWD in northern climates is one of those mysteries that may never be solved.

Love the way you two always go deep into who/what the vehicle is designed for and compare them to the comparable vehicles at a similar price. Too many reviews focus on what a vehicle is lacking without considering the price. Thanks

My 24-year-old daughter bought one in June. She has the base trim. I’ve driven it and am impressed with the 3 cylinder turbo, although I do worry about durability. I think it rides great, the back seat room is amazing, and it looks like a baby Blazer. Another concern I have is that twice it has failed to shift into drive and the dealer claims there’s nothing wrong with it. Obviously there is, but it’s an intermittent thing. She paid a smidge over 23000 for it (US dollars). As far as the lack of AWD, it’s not a priority. I’ve lived in heavy snow states all my life and never have had AWD. Never been stuck in 48 years of driving. Tires and intelligent driving matters. Great review as always.

As always a top shelf review. The honda civic I purchased in 1994 had 125hp. I don't remember ever thinking it was a problem. I'm glad to see affordable options these days.

Great video guys! I got my LT Trax some months ago and I love it. I would totally recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, safe and nice looking car.

My 1982 Toyota Tercel had 62 horsepower. I survived. It also had non power steering. Best car I ever owned for 14 years.

I bought my 2RS in August, have 3, 000 miles and love it! I average 30 MPG with a high of 38 mpg! I got the Crimson red ;)

A good set of winter tyres + fwd > all seasons + awd
In winter, ability to stop is super crucial

[vincentlin]

Just bought one. The build quality of this car is amazing. Interior fit and finish has really high standards

[mithrandir]

Quick Correction: if I'm not mistaken, the power driverseat is available only on the Activ trim, not the 2RS or any other trim.

Andrea and Zach, I love you guys! Your reviews are so wonderful. You’re always so objective in your reviews; you always focus on the positive of every car you test. I think that is great. Too many pseudo-novice reviewers focus on all the negative because they think it makes them sound profound and it actually just makes them sound stupid and inexperienced. I love the looks of this new Trax, it’s all grown up, sporty as ever; I love it. The value per dollar is UNBELIEVABLE, EVERYTHING YOU GET FOR $24, 0000., especially in this day and age where auto manufacturers are practically raping customers with sticker prices so inflated on EVERYTHING, it’s a wonder anyone can afford to a buy any new car at all! I actually love the looks of this Trax so much, I went to test drive one yesterday. I was shocked when I stepped on the accelerator pedal of this tiny 1.2 liter turbo 3 cylinder; WOWWW! It was quick; so torquey and punchy. This little 1.2 liter 3 cylinder turbo engine packs a punch. I had a blast driving it. I was also impressed with how roomy it was, 38.9 inches of rear leg room; great cargo capacity. This new Trax has grown so much larger opposed to the last generation, this new Trax looks like a midsize SUV, in comparison. Chevrolet really knocked this one right out of the park ! Great review, Andrea and Zach. I always look forward to your great reviews; excellent job, as always ! Best-Tim

Thanks so much for this honest review! Just picked this up for my daughter yesterday…LT model. You can’t beat the price and the tech! I first drove the 2023 trailblazer (2024 I’m sure is better but more expensive) and I liked the Trax much better…the cabin was much quieter. Very sporty & great value!!!

This was such a great review. You guys obviously work so hard to put out awesome videos and never seem to fail to achieve it. Thank you for this excellent channel!

[ktpinnacle]

Was looking at this vs the Soul. Ended up with the Soul based on a price break and the warranty. The Soul is also shorter so it's a bit better to park in the city. But I was impressed with Chevy's effort here.

[clarkhergenrother]

Bought mine an 2Rs in August and it is fantastic, already took it on two long travels and performed beautifully.

[russellhiguchi]

You guys do a great job with your reviews. I recently bought this car 2RS trim. I love it. Like you said for the price and technology you get The car is great looking too. Continue the great work. Zac you’re a lucky guy too.

[katiehouston]

this video is the best informational video on a car I have found on YouTube, appreciate the honesty!

Greetings from Cornwall, Ontario, Canada Motormouth! I watched this video at least three times. To make a long story short we just took possession of a 2025 Trax LT. Wow! What a vehicle. It is everything you said plus! Keep those videos coming. You have helped a lot of folks make an informative choice when purchasing a vehicle. Cheers!
