The Chevrolet brand of Detroit’s General Motors Co. has introduced the 2024 Chevrolet Trax, a small SUV, with a price starting at $21,495.
Larger than today’s Trax, it provides more space for passengers and cargo, along with more standard and available content. The new array of standard safety features and technologies are designed to help keep customers connected.
Five distinct trims — LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS, and ACTIV — offer design and content choices, while all trims add enhanced features and technologies, including Chevy Safety Assist with six advanced safety and driver awareness technologies, larger infotainment screens, and a standard 8-inch-diagonal system and an 11-inch-diagonal screen on LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trims.
Other featured technology includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability; LED headlamps; 17-inch, 18-inch, or 19-inch wheels; four-wheel disc brakes; active noise cancellation.
The new Trax is powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged inline-three engine rated at a GM-estimated 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The turbo contributes to excellent on-demand power, particularly for passing maneuvers and on-ramp acceleration.
A longer, lower and wider stance than the current model, the 2024 Trax introduces a new design inspired by the Chevrolet Blazer.
“The bold exterior and tech-forward interior design of the all-new Trax redefines what an entry-level vehicle can be,” says Phil Zak, executive design director, global Chevrolet. “It demonstrates that modern, stylish design doesn’t have to come at a premium.”
At the front, sleek horizontal lines emphasize the vehicle’s width and are designed around the lines of the iconic Chevy bowtie at the center of the grille, which flow outward to the slim, Blazer-inspired headlamps that feature all-new LED lighting elements. Chevy-signature high-eye LED daytime running lamps make the Trax more visible, day or night.
Trax’s interior was designed to have a lightweight feel, utilizing sweeping lines and light, and technical cues that emphasize the vehicle’s width and create a sense of airiness.
Display screens are the centerpiece of the tech-forward design, with the infotainment screen canted slightly toward the driver, for more intuitive control. LS and 1RS trims feature an 8-inch-diagonal infotainment color touchscreen, while LT, 2RS, and ACTIV have an 11-inch-diagonal infotainment color touchscreen and an 8-inch-diagonal driver information center.
The different trims also receive their own décor and accents, with LT featuring black seats with Sky Cool Gray accents, 2RS featuring red accents on the seats and a racing-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel, ACTIV featuring Evotex seats with yellow accents, and RS and ACTIV trims featuring black bowtie emblems.
Additional standard and available content includes a center console with ergonomically optimized shifter location; an electronic parking brake opens up more storage space in the console; four bottle holders and two cupholders; heated front seats, steering wheel, and outside mirrors are standard on 1RS, 2RS, and ACTIV and available on LT.
Heated front seats and outside mirrors are available on LS; remote start is standard on 1RS, LT, 2RS, and ACTIV and available on LS; automatic climate control, push-button start, and added rear-seat USB ports on LT, 2RS, and ACTIV; power-adjustable driver’s seat on ACTIV; and an available sunroof.
