2024 Chevy Trax SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Trax is available in five trim levels: LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS and Activ. All are powered by the same 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine (137 hp, 162 lb-ft) paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Unlike some other small SUVs, all-wheel drive is unavailable. Here are the feature highlights for each trim:

LS
Comes reasonably well equipped with:

  • 17-inch steel wheels
  • LED headlights
  • 8-inch infotainment screen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Four-speaker audio system
  • Wi-Fi hotspot

All Trax models also come standard with:

  • Forward collision mitigation with automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Automatic high beams

The optional LS Convenience package adds:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Remote start
  • Heated front seats
  • Heated, power-adjustable mirrors

1RS
The 1RS adds some visual flair, with small tweaks to the interior and exterior. Features on the 1RS include those on the LS, adding:

  • Gloss-black exterior trim
  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Revised front and rear fascias
  • LS Convenience package features
  • Heated flat-bottom steering wheel

LT
Builds off the LS trim with different styling as well as:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Automatic climate control
  • 11-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Push-button start
  • Roof rails

The optional LT Convenience package includes:

  • Keyless entry
  • Heated, power-adjustable mirrors
  • Heated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel

2RS and Activ
These two trims have the same price but slightly different aims. The RS offers sporty looks, while the Activ offers a few more creature comforts. Added features on top of the LT's include:

  • Features from the LT Convenience package
  • 18-inch alloy wheels (Activ only)
  • 19-inch alloy wheels (2RS only)
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat (Activ only)

An available Driver Confidence package for all trims adds:

  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Adaptive cruise control (all trims except LS and 1RS; maintains a driver-set distance between the Trax and the car in front)

A sunroof and wireless charging pad are optional on all but the base LS trim.

Which Trax trim does Edmunds recommend?

Go with the midlevel LT for the best value. It's reasonably priced and comes with some desirable upgrades, such as a bigger center touchscreen and dual-zone automatic climate control.
