The 19” machined wheels add a distinct urban flair that is
ideal for setting your driver’s sights on the coming of spring, and under the
hood is a 1.2-liter inline 3-cylinder turbocharged engine that cranks out 137
horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. The head auto editor claimed that with the Trax’s lightweight frame, this engine
still does well at powering the entire party and remaining very efficient! Once
inside the 2RS package, there’s a
well laid-out interior waiting, with this one sporting a black interior and red
accents all around, and rich black gloss trim on the center console.
After reviewing numerous sedans and crossovers over the past
few years, this writer appreciated how thoroughly attractive the interior was
at this appealing price point. It features Evotex seating materials, which look
like leather and are very simple to keep clean. There is an 8” color driver
information screen that is very easy to read, with an 11” touchscreen situated
directly on the center dash. This shows the rear camera, controls the Apple
CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth, the 6-speaker sound system, Wi-Fi hotspot, and
Sirius XM.
As you prepare to hit the interstate or plan to quickly meet
your favorite work buddies for frisbee golf, you’ll enjoy the abundant back
seat leg and headroom, where you could easily seat 3 adults if needed! There
are also two USB-C ports in the backseat to keep everything properly charged.
The Trax boasts 26 cubic feet of cargo that is amply covered, with the cover
raising up when you decide to lift the tailgate. Everyone will love the safety
features of the Driver Confidence
Package, which provides rear cross-traffic alert, lane change alert with
blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise.
Fuel economy is rated at 28 mpg city, 32 mpg highway,
and 30
mpg overall, which pairs nicely with the 6-speed transmission and overall
quality of daily drive manners. The 2024 Trax is an incredible value by today’s
standards, with a top-of-the-line price point at under $30,000. The 2RS trim
adds 245/45R19 all-season tires, along with the 19-inch black alloy wheels and
keyless open feature. The JDPower.com review team praised the
Trax for its electric-boosted rack-and-pinion steering, along with a lower center
of gravity that is a bit like a hatchback car.
The KBB.com review staff posted a
consumer rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars, heralding it as an industry-leading
value for its roomy seating and cargo area for an extra-small SUV, available
11-inch touchscreen, and numerous driver assistance features. We hope to see
you here before Easter to check out the 2024 Chevy Trax here at the Mid-MO
Powerhouse. It is sharp and striking, and always entertaining to drive. Simple
and straightforward yet still hitting the sweet spot in many ways, the Trax has
improved its game significantly while remaining fresh and favorable!
