2024 Chevrolet Trax Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Love this car!!!
This 2024 trax drives so smooth and handles so well and it has a kick to it! It will get up and go! The interior is absolutely gorgeous too, I get compliments every day! I couldn’t be happier with this beautiful car! Update* I’ve now had my car for about 1 1/2 years and I still love it. It’s so great on gas, still rides so smooth and extremely comfortable, especially for long distance driving, going to visit my sister 2 1/2 hours away and the kids don’t even complain! It’s just an amazing car and I would highly suggest anyone taking it for a test drive to see just how great it really is. Full five stars!

2024 Trax looks like a winner
We were shopping Corolla and Civic. And the Trax won out. Nice vehicle, roomy and beautiful large displays. We have now driven our 2024 Trax 9,800 miles. Love the vehicle, zippy, great fuel economy and roomy interior. Also standout stylish. The vehicle gets noticed. Fun to drive and zero issues!

Focus on "What matters"
The 2024 Trax "hits the sweet spot" packing in lots of important details which matter, and cutting costs on things that dont matter. If you are looking for an affordable, but good quality car, keep reading. My priorities are 1)Safety 2) Value 3)Comfort 4) Looks The Trax excels at all of these 4. The infotainment system is by far the best in class. For example, the backup camera is huge, has dynamic guidelines, and is crisp with great vision and resolution. The info system is also easy to setup and use. I also LOVE the wireless Apple Carplay, and wireless charging. The Active noise cancellation seems to work well, as it is fairly quiet. Dont let the sound of 3 cylinder 1.2 liter fool you. Its quick! As far as fuel economy, I beat the EPA by quite a bit. I got 36mpg COMBINED city and hiway, but I am not using my car at the race track. Within the past 5 years, I have owned 2 Hondas, (CRV and Civic), 3 Toyotas (Corolla, Camry, and Sienna) 1 Ford Fusion, and a Subaru Legacy, and the least expensive and best was the 2024 TRAX 2RS. The Trax just does almost everything better, at lower cost, than the others I owned. One of the best things: You can actually buy a new TRAX. Honda's, Toyotas, and Subaru's are selling "allocations" not cars, in many/most models. I dont want an "allocation", I want a car! I love the Maverick, but dont try to buy one! Now, the negatives: No power Driver seat, (Power driver seat is only available in ACTIV model). and no power tailgate. Neither of these are important to me, Chevy did not compromise on safety, but I am more than willing to give up the power driver seat, power tailgate and AWD. Most people who think they need AWD do not. Sure, if you live in Alaska or high mountains where you drive in snow for 5 or 6 months of the year, you may need AWD, but for most of the rest of us, the AWD just uses more gas and is an excuse for car companies to raise the price.

Beautiful design, Roomy interior, Smooth ride!
Our 2024 Trax is still a welcome surprise each time I open the garage; it is absolutely beautiful. Excellent product for the price point (purchased new for the same price as other late model small SUVs on the market). I chose the 1RS to sit a bit higher with the 18" wheels, however, if I could do it again I'd buy the LT or the 2RS trim package, as the 1RS is a bit of a technological backslide with the manual components and cloth seats - but still has everything I need. My husband is 6'2" and is comfortable in both the front and back seats. 28 mpg (mostly highway commuting) so far. Overall, very satisfied with this well-designed Chevrolet SUV!

So far .. happy happy
I had been passively looking for a vehicle as my existing 2009 vehicle was having some issues , but not really wanting to get into a car payment or the current vehicle costs - new or used. I happened to go into my local Chevy dealer with a neighbor, and she pointed out the new Trax. I thought maybe I would go back later in the day and test drive one, but didn’t. The next day the dealer reached out - he had just received 2 Activ Trax. I test drove an LT as the Activ had barely been offloaded. I’m not a car guru, not a mechanic, but I loved the styling, the interior, the features, the way it drove. I especially liked the size - lots of legroom in the back, higher than a sedan, nice size trunk and the 11” panel. (Not to mention the cool yellow accents - the interior accent depends on the trim (LS 1RS LT 2RS or Activ). It is really quiet, the backup camera has really clear picture and the sound when using the phone or other audio is good. It has a cool grill, and leather-like seats (I think only the 2RS and Activ have this). Also on these 2 trims you have the digital gauges. This model also has the power driver seat and keyless entry. But the best thing was the price. Part of my job last year was helping new employees in the company I was working for buy a car. It was tough to find anything post Covid, choices were limited and dealers were getting $$$ over MSRP/ NADA. And even the compact, base model SUV’s (which were tiny and had few features), had an out the door price (incl. Tax, tag and title) of over $30k. This was just over $25k out the door.. and the Activ and 2RS are about same price and similar extras. I wish it had an automatic lift gate on the trunk (and it doesn’t have one on the key fob … and I haven’t seen one in the vehicle) so it’s pretty manual. I also wish it came with wireless charging, but it does have a USB and USB C port, and of course Apple Play / Android Auto (with the Activ and 2 RS having a more updated interface). The safety ratings and Consumer reports ratings don’t seem to have come out yet. And oh !! It’s a 2024 model.. just launched in May 2023. There never was a 2023 model, and I never would have bought the previous Trax models. While you have remote (phone app) access for 3 years included (start, stop, locate, mileage, gas level etc) for 3 years, it only comes with 1 month of wifi and 1 month of Sirius and 1 month of ONSTAR … be sure to ask whomever you speak to when connecting all those for any special offers, or you are looking at about $50/month for services. The Chevy app is basic but ok. Weirdly it shows all my tires at 46, but it shows recommended PSI to be 34 Front / 34 rear. I wasn’t nickled and dimed by the dealer, I had done a lot of research on the price, he managed to get me some financing with both GM and Ally (we went with Ally who beat the rate by 1%), and he is a local dealer that has a great service dept. It is shows that the first service is due at 7500 (I currently have all of 157 miles on the car!) The base LS starts around $21500 … so if you don’t need all the fancy extras … it’s still a great car. I got the jet black, there are some funky and cool other exterior colors including Cayenne and a weird metallic yellow which actually grows on you if you look at it enough. MPG so far is 31.3 MPG and my insurance (on a 2 car policy with mediocre credit) is $125 for the Trax. The only negative I have seen on most of the test drives and major reviews is that there is no AWD. I don’t need it or miss it and so far, so good. Love my new (yet to be named) Trax Activ
