2025 Chevrolet Trax RS: The BEST Subcompact Crossover?

[@louispaxton8336]

Option packages have hefty prices! Cost cutting inside is apparent. Attractive in and out. The 3 cyl. turbo power is more understandable at this price point than with the Bronco or Rogue.Depending on reliability and durabilty, this might be a better value in the 2 lowest priced trim levels. Overall, a pretty nice answer to lower cost transportation. Very good review..as always!

Thanks Louis.

That 3 cylinder engine is not going to last. It will be working overtime all the time. Good luck

I recently bought a 24 Trax. If you're considering the Trax, I recommend the LT trim. It has all of the same features, the only major difference being the wheels. If you're o.k. with the 17s, save yourself 2K and go with the LT.

I love my Trax Activ same color

It's not too shabby Chabby...

😂😂 Not to shabby at all!

Great review as always!😊 Love the looks and price of this one. The 6 speed automatic transmission makes me really want to buy. Joy to the max of no CVT. The direct injection only and the carbon buildup from same gives me pause. Also, the question of the wet timing belt that is difficult to service. I think it might be beneficial to give it a couple of years and see how this little baby does before buying. Or I might do a lease covered by warranty.

[@chabbysrides]

Thanks! Thank you for tuning in and the feedback. Much appreciated. 👍

The 1.2 L has been used in the trailblazer since 2021, seems to be quite reliable!

But there is a recall on 2024 chevy trax

[@Red4banger]

​@@bettyboop3035there's a recall on the emissions system!
The start /stop can cause the engine to run out of time! If the engine light comes on stop driving immediately, could cause severe engine damage!
Not all the 2024 Chevy Trax need this recall done, check with your dealer, or do it on the internet with your VIN number.
The recall is for the 2024 only!

Tail lights are not LED, you skipped over auto stop/start and lane change assist.

Nice review on th 2 RS.,Does it really need 19" tires??
Never ceases to amaze me who much GM will cheap out to save a few bucks. Items like padded doors & center console ,rear armrest,rear vents,led 🦈 Shark fin antenna. People like these features & will buy elsewhere if needed. GM is still run by the Bean Counters Disappointing they haven't learned anything. 😮

[@chabbysrides]

Hey David. I agree the cost cutting is obvious. But it isn’t a bad choice in the segment given the price.

[@Red4banger]

I think the 19 inch rims cost more for GM to manufacture or buy, then 18 inch rim that's on the activ, no cheaping out there.
I do agree, add some front armrest padding, rear seat armrest, cup holder. I think most customers would be willing to pay a little more for these improvements.
I have a 2024 black activ, I bought center console, front door padding solve the issue!

[@Tannant65]

Whats new for 2025 ?

[@lisamccray9079]

Price 😁🤯 not bad.

[@Red4banger]

These engines have been in production longer than a year! 1.2 L ,1.3 L turbo engine has been in uses since 2020.

I just got a 2025 LS trim ($21,500), most people don't need all that extra BS crap that makes this one 27K.

Post this on every review? Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself of something!

@Sonic_BoomFPV Congrats! Glad you’re enjoying it. Thanks for tuning in.

Hatchback dear. Hatchback.

[@clandfaf]

Not a bad looking little SUV. For the top trim I feel it's missing a couple things like a premium sound system for starters and the wireless charging should be apart of the Drivers confidence package. I also wish they did away with these tiny displacement engines with a turbo slapped on it.

[@waynethompson8207]

For the low price you really can't ask for much more. IMO it's a hell of a car for the price. You can't find a better car at the price
