Wireless Android Auto and Carplay, Radar cruise control, etc etc. The only thing the ACTIV gets that the 2RS doesn't is the power drivers seat. The 2RS gets bigger and better looking wheels & tires, 19 vs 18. The price is even more unbelievable when you factor in it is made in Korea and that's a sizeable shipping fee that's factored in to the price. Fit and finish is excellent and I was hesitant about the Evotex seating surfaces, but I am happy to say they are much cooler than real leather and just as comfortable.
Great review!

I snagged mine Saturday. I got the mosaic black LT and the one I lucked out on has every upgrade offered in these Trax. I have the sunroof, the full electronics package, the seats are a leatherette/cloth combo, heated seats and wheel, wireless charging pad, the works, and it's fun as hell to drive. Got mine for $26, 000 out the door with gap insurance and extended warranty. I happened to be at the dealership as they were unloading it and knew I found a steal as I hadn't seen another LT fully loaded like this anywhere and with more upgrades than any of the RS trims I had looked at. I prefer the blue accents inside the LT as there are just a few on the dash and not allover the seats like the RS. The red or yellow in the others continues it onto the seats which I didn't like at all. The only change I'm making are the gold bowties to black ones. If you can find one like mine there's no way I'd go with a higher trim because really all that changes are the inches of the wheels, electric seat adjusting and seat material. Im obsessed with mine! She's a sexy little thing for this mama to drive around to all the HomeGoods in town, lol. 2 of my 3 kids are out of the house now so I got to downsize from my big SUV and this was the perfect little crossover to do it in. I don't need a luxury car but I feel like I'm not sacrificing much honestly. The tech in the car is so incredible at this price point, it was a no-brainer and I love it!!

Sporty looking in all black. Like the yellow piping on the seats and dash. Overall, a very nice car for $26, 000.

Going to test drive one of these today! Thanks for the review!🙂

Deciding between this and the blazer is tough 😭 looking to save money but I need more space and I fell inlove with the blazer but for my pockets right now the trax seems the the best decision. Pray for me lol

[MrBGee]

Real nice, affordable crossover. Recently had a spark as a rental after a car accident. It was also made in Korea and it was a very good car! Loved the apple carplay and the quietness of the ride!

I just bought me this new car February 6 and I love it best deal for the money it has a lot of features to this car and will get up and go too love everything about this car it definitely was in my budget since I just bought a new home too it’s a nice fun car to drive and get to know try it you will like it for sure 👍🏽

Honestly gm hit it out of the park with any competition. This isn’t a weekend car. But it really does serve everyone in any way it’s needed. A single city dweller, young families, an elderly person that needs a cheap nice car. Also no awd seems to be the only criticism, but the trax is for everyone, and everyone doesn’t take their subcompact crossover mudding. And if a 2005 Toyota Corolla can be a great winter beater with the right set of snow tires, why would this struggle? Honestly on the small chance that this car will be reliable in ten years, this would be a top contender EVERYWHERE for a super cheap beater that you can run into the ground for 5 more years

Great video, I am a NEW subscriber & AM from Houston, soooo I appreciate the OILERS HAT!

[Ricca]

Going to trade in my current car for one of these eeek I’m so excitedddd

[Briansgate]

Last I read, the infotainment center on this 2024 Trax would not recognize an iphone 14. Has that changed yet?

[Paul-cxgm]

Nice looking ride all black like that.

[CRVgarage]

Just like the Maverick, Trax is a game changer. GM can't keep up with the demand.

[eunylee]

very interesting.. maybe I buy one IF dealers NOT try to add on all the B.S fee.. ( Additional dealer markup, extra Delivery fee, dealer add items.... )

[wellitoncosta]

Quando esse suv vem para o Brasil, muito top vai vender muito

[paultracy]

I am liking the new Trax, but I like the trailblazer as well.

[miked]

Luv the hat, o’l love you blue. Of course eyeing the car for my daughter. Thanks for the review

[yamil.]

Nice car. Except the yellow in the seats.
