The standard equipment roster includes a rear backup camera, pedestrian detection and forward collision mitigation with automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, headlights with automatic high-beam control and forward following distance assist, all of which makes up Chevy’s Safety Assist suite.Ī base Trax LS also gets an 8-inch infotainment screen with the usual range of connectivity options and smartphone integrations, LED headlights and even active noise cancellation. At least the base LS comes decently equipped. Like the outgoing model, the 2024 Trax only gets one engine, in this case a turbocharged 1.3-liter three-cylinder. Note, however, that climbing up the trim ladder and throwing money at the options list doesn’t mean more performance in the form of larger engines. As expected, the amount of standard equipment and additional exterior and interior appointment options are dependent on trim in varying degrees. Chevrolet 5 Flavors of TraxĪt launch, the Trax will come in five flavors: LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS and ACTIV. Standard equipment is fairly robust on the base Trax and includes Chevrolet’s active Safety Assist suite. Hyundai’s sister company, Kia, also offers the Soul and the Seltos, for urban owners and those looking for more space and all-wheel drive. Both Hyundai and Kia began selling two subcompact SUVs and have benefited from their popularity: the Hyundai Kona, a subcompact SUV geared towards buyers with active lifestyles, and the Venue, aimed at those looking for a practical and efficient runabout. Offering the two may seem redundant, but the Trax’s newfound sleek styling and low-slung roofline will certainly attract those hunting for a small SUV with sportier road-going styling while the Trailblazer’s more upright shape and design attracts those favoring something more spacious and taller.īecause crossover SUVs are so darn popular, especially in the entry-level segment, automakers have found even greater success selling more than just one model in a segment. Though both are subcompact SUVs, each offers distinct styling, dimensions and target customers. Both however will be sold in dealerships side-by-side ultimately giving subcompact utility vehicle buyers multiple choices to choose from. Chevrolet Compact SUV ChoicesĬhevrolet’s decision to continue the Trax may seem a bit unconventional because many originally anticipated the Trailblazer to replace the Trax. Chevrolet says roughly 70% of Trax customers stay with front-wheel drive while Trailblazer customers tend to load on the options.
