2024 Chevrolet Trax: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2024 Chevrolet Trax
2nd generation, first year; all-new redesign after the skipped 2023 U.S. model year.
Chevrolet positions the Trax as a technology-forward small SUV for people who want the easy footprint of a compact car with the seating height and cargo flexibility of an SUV. Its core appeal is straightforward value: roomy cabin space for its size, standard safety tech, simple phone-friendly infotainment, and bold styling at the low end of the SUV market. Compared with many rivals, Trax leans more on everyday usefulness and easy tech than on off-road image or performance.
The redesigned Trax ranges from the straightforward LS to the comfort- and tech-focused LT. The 1RS and 2RS add sportier styling, while ACTIV pairs a tougher look with synthetic leather seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. Upper trims feature an 11-inch touchscreen and an 8-inch driver display.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Every 2024 Trax uses a 137-hp 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive.
Styling
The redesign gives the Trax a lower, wider look and expands the lineup to five trims. The 1RS and 2RS have sport-themed details, while ACTIV uses dark wheels and tougher-looking exterior accents.
Safety
Chevy Safety Assist becomes standard across the lineup, giving every trim the same core driver-assistance suite.
Tech
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. The LT, 2RS, and ACTIV use an 11-inch touchscreen with an 8-inch driver display, while LED headlights and Active Noise Cancellation are standard on every trim.
Structural
The new body is longer, lower, and wider than the previous Trax, creating more passenger room and cargo space.
