Chevrolet Trax

The Trax is a subcompact crossover SUV with room for up to five passengers. Prior to being discontinued (following the 2022 model year), it was the smallest SUV in Chevrolet’s lineup, measuring about six inches shorter than the Trailblazer, a fellow subcompact crossover. The Trax shares a platform and some components with the Buick Encore, which is built by Chevy’s sister company within General Motors.

Chevrolet sold the Trax in three trims for the better part of its production run. The entry-level LS and mid-tier LT long were longstanding Trax trims, while the range-topping LTZ was available from 2015 to 2016 before being renamed the Premier in 2017. The Premier trim was then discontinued following the 2020 model year. The Trax is modestly equipped across all levels. A 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, rearview camera, and a WiFi hotspot have long been standard equipment, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto joined as standard features in 2017. Some notable options include rear parking sensors, blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, heated front seats, and a sunroof.

Under the hood, the Trax employs a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Initially rated at 138 horsepower, the engine received a bump in power to 155 ponies for the 2022 model year. Front-wheel drive is standard on the Trax, while all-wheel drive is optional. No hybrid or electric versions were made.
