The six-speed automatic is fine, but we noticed some busyness on hilly roads when the transmission would frequently shift. The new three-cylinder is much more responsive than the previous four-cylinder, though rivals like the Mazda CX-30 offer more power and quicker acceleration, albeit at a higher price than the Trax. Even with four adults in the car, the Trax didn't struggle. With about 300 pounds less weight to move than before, the power deficit compared to the old Trax doesn't seem to matter. There are also significant changes to the powertrain, interior and technology features.Ĭhevy's Corvette Z06 could make more power than the Trax even if it were only running on two of its eight cylinders, but the Trax's relatively light curb weight (listed at around 3,000 pounds) means it's peppy enough to not feel slow when moving away from a stoplight or merging onto the highway. Overall height is the only measurement that's smaller, a likely result from a slightly lower ride height and the new Trax's more sloped roofline.
Overall length is up by 11 inches, and within that a 6-inch-longer wheelbase (the measurement between the front and rear wheels) allows more rear legroom and cargo space. The new Trax is significantly bigger than its predecessor in almost every dimension. But notably, Chevrolet is giving it another go with the redesigned 2024 Trax. Truth be told, we weren't broken up about it - time behind the wheel of the previous Trax didn't exactly inspire you to head back to the Chevy dealer when it was time for a replacement, especially when rivals had models that were less expensive, better to drive and offered significantly better tech and features.
Chevy discontinued the first-generation Trax - its smallest and least expensive SUV - after the 2022 model year. That seems to be the mantra for the Chevrolet Trax. If at first you don't succeed, try again.
