2024 Chevy Trax Preview

More updates on the upcoming 2024 Chevy Trax are in, and it looks like this crossover SUV is going to be even more discounted than before with all the best features you’ve come to love. This is one of the least expensive cars that General Motors has offered – but the lower price doesn’t mean it is missing its necessities. The 2024 Chevrolet Trax will be a great option for any buyer next year that is looking for the most out of their money in the most affordable option.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• On average, the 2024 model will be about $1,400 less than the current models on the market.
• The price change comes from the focus on prioritizing interior comfort and space, not power.
• A great car for anyone who needs the basics, and a comfortable drive from A to B.

THE REASON BEHIND THE PRICE CHANGE IS: POWER

For a more focused ride, the powertrain on the upcoming Chevy Trax has been reworked to give a more economy-style drive. That means if you’re looking for power, towing, and torque try a Trailblazer instead, this front-wheel drive SUV isn’t meant for it. If you simply need your SUV to transport passengers safely and don’t have any plans on doing heavy work – then this is Chevrolet’s answer to the perfect discount car. There is only one powertrain across the 2024 Trax trims, a turbocharged 1.2-liter inline 3-cylinder outputting 137 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission. Again, nothing too impressive by today’s standard of engine power, especially when compared to other options that Chevy has, but that is not what next year’s Trax is trying to accomplish though.

LESS PAIN AT THE PUMP

Since the Trax is focused on making travel easy, it continues this philosophy when the tank hits empty. You’re going to get some of the better EPA estimates on fuel with the Trax especially when putting up against other lightweight SUVs, with an average of 28 mpg in the city, 32 on the highway, and a combined rating of 30 mpg.

PRICE DROP

Because of the updated design and reworked engine focus, the 2024 Trax is truly making records already as one of the cheapest SUVs that’s going to hit the market – even by today’s standard. The lowest trim level is the LS which is going for around $21,495 – over a thousand dollars less than the already affordable 2023 model. The highest trim is the Activ and will cost buyers around $24,995.

FEATURES FIT FOR ANY FAMILY

This is where the Trax shows its true colors. For other SUVs, and even Trax models of the past, a lot of the power the vehicle held was hidden under the hood. Now, the power of the new 2024 Chevy Trax comes from the comfort it provides passengers with. The 2024 Trax will fit five passengers comfortably as a 4-door wagon and is now shorter in height than its predecessor. This makes the new Trax feel much more manageable to drive and handles easier on the road. It comes with the option of an 8-inch driver information center, with an 11-inch infotainment system. Apple Carplay and wireless charging are all found on the standard edition, as well as keyless entry and adaptive cruise control. The built-in wi-fi hotspot is a great option for drivers with multiple passengers that need to keep entertained on long hauls. The Trax is also going to come standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which is a basic safety feature system that includes all the necessities from rear cross-traffic alerts to lane change and blind zone alerts. All those aforementioned, hands-free functions can be accessed through the myChevrolet Mobile App, which pairs up with your car so you can be in control even when you’re not behind the wheel.

THE UNIVERSAL SUV FOR ANY BUDGET

As more information comes out about the 2024 Chevy Trax, we learn more about what this super SUV is working hard to save our budgets before it even hits the market. The sizable interior, and all-encompassing technology system – the 204 Trax has taken the definition of a useful SUV and completely moved it to the interior. The low-cost selling point is its calling card, and that’s enough for most families who need a safe SUV that works for them.
