About the 2022 Chevrolet Trax
1st generation (2015-2022), final U.S. model year before a skipped 2023 model year and the all-new 2024 redesign.
Chevrolet marketed the Trax as a small SUV with big ideas: easy to park, easy to maneuver in town, but still useful for five people and everyday cargo. The brand leaned on its taller seating position, available AWD, turbo engine, and simple phone-friendly touchscreen rather than luxury or advanced driver-assist features. For most shoppers, the Trax’s appeal was straightforward utility in a city-friendly footprint.
The LS is the straightforward version, with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a rearview camera, and a split-folding rear seat. The LT adds everyday conveniences such as remote start, cruise control, heated mirrors, roof rails, and LED exterior lighting. Both trims use a six-speed automatic and come in front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive form.

Powertrain
Both LS and LT receive a stronger 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine rated at 155 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. The six-speed automatic and front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive layouts carry over.

4.0
2022 Chevrolet Trax
(158 reviews)
“It's too small and uncomfortable. No storage compartment. No press start. No remoteless entry”
“The car handles great. It provides Bluetooth and great stereo sound. While it doesn't have every safe feature like blind spot and some others it's still a great car if those things are not important. It's got a lot of storage space and cup holders. It's very comfortable. No built in navigation but it has CarPlay so you can get the map on phone.”
