2024 Chevy Trax Is Bigger, Cheaper, and Better-Looking Than Before

The Chevy Trax is new for 2024 and looks completely different from the model it replaces.It comes only with front-wheel drive and a turbocharged inline-three engine with 137 horsepower.The Trax starts at $21,495 for the base LS and ranges up to $24,995 for the Activ and RS trim levels.

Chevy is replacing the old Trax subcompact SUV with a new model for 2024 that’s larger, less expensive, and more attractive inside and out. The redesigned 2024 Trax starts at under $22,000 and will go on sale in the spring of 2023 serving as Chevy’s new entry-level model now that the tiny Spark hatchback is gone.

With a significantly longer wheelbase and overall length and a lower roof height, the new Trax’s proportions are quite different from the stubby, tall model it replaces. Chevy says it has more rear legroom and cargo capacity than its predecessor. The new Trax is actually slightly larger than the Trailblazer, Chevy’s other subcompact SUV, but it’s positioned as the cheaper option, as the Trailblazer starts at $23,295 and offers more powertrain options including all-wheel drive; the Trax is front-wheel-drive only.

The 2024 Trax comes only with a single engine choice, a turbocharged 1.2-liter inline-three with 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic is standard. This is also the Trailblazer’s base engine, but it offers a more powerful 1.3-liter turbo-three with 155 horsepower.

With its starting price of $21,495, the base Trax LS will be one of the cheapest SUVs on the market. Standard equipment includes an 8.0-inch infotainment screen and driver-assistance features including lane-keep assist and automatic high beams. Other trim levels include the $23,195 1RS, the $23,395 LT, the $24,995 RS with a sportier appearance including 19-inch wheels, and the $24,995 Activ that has a faux skid plate and chrome accents. Options on the higher trim levels include a larger 11.0-inch touchscreen, adaptive cruise control, automatic climate control, a sunroof, and a power driver’s seat.

The Trax looks similar to the Seeker crossover that GM sells in overseas markets, and Chevy says it will be built in Korea. The old model ended production after the 2022 model year, and there will be no 2023 Trax. Look for the 2024 model to reach U.S. dealerships in the spring of 2023.
