Performance
Because of its size, the Chevy Trax doesn't need a boisterous engine to propel it forward. The powertrain that Chevy has chosen to equip it with is geared more towards economy and practicality, making it ideal for drivers who do a considerable amount of driving in the city. All trims of the Trax have a turbocharged 1.2L three-cylinder engine with an adequate 137 hp.
Fuel Efficiency
Many of Chevy's competitors have opted for a CVT in their crossover models. However, the Trax benefits from a six-speed automatic transmission that offers seamless shifting and accentuates agile handling, which makes it easy for any driver to operate. The Trax is an FWD-exclusive SUV, meaning that while it might not facilitate an off-roading adventure, it saves you money at the gas pump. You'll travel much farther for a lot less, with an EPA-estimated 28 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway for a combined rating of 30 MPG.
Drive Handling
The performance of the Chevy Trax is also highlighted by a fine-tuned suspension meant to accentuate its handling. A MacPherson strut front and compound crank rear suspension guarantee an effective and agile drive, regardless of your destination. Depending on what trim you decide on, there are also various wheels that the Trax can be equipped with. The LS trim can have either a set of 17-inch steel or aluminum wheels. The ACTIV trim gets a set of 18-inch black aluminum wheels. The 2RS trim has a set of machined 19-inch two-tone wheels, and all versions of the Chevy Trax have all-season tires for exceptional capability.
GM's StabiliTrak traction and stability control will ensure your balance and ability to grip the road, further exerting control over your commute. StabiliTrak is also effective in assisting you in making emergency maneuvers during your travels and adapting to sudden changes in road conditions.
Interior
One of the highlights of the 2025 Chevy Trax is its exterior design, which is sleek and aerodynamic and certainly appeals to our sense of style and sophistication. However, the interior is just as impressive, ideally blending practicality and refinement to give you the advantages of owning an SUV and the best comfort and tech-savviness. The interior layout is eye-catching and exciting, with HVAC vents similar to those in the Chevy Blazer and a driver-oriented infotainment screen.
Technology
The infotainment screen size varies based on trim, with the LS and 1RS trims having a standard eight-inch touchscreen while other trims have the added benefit of an 11-inch touchscreen. The 11-inch display benefits from HD presentation and allows access to voice recognition and wireless compatibility with both Apple and Android products. Besides the infotainment screen, the Trax also comes with a digital Driver Information Center, which is 3.5 in on base trims, and the upper trims have an eight-inch one. All trims, aside from the base LS and the 1RS, also have a six-speaker stereo system to ensure the very best audio quality.
Comfort and Cargo Space
As is the case with most vehicles, comfort becomes more upscale the higher up the trim levels you go. The base trim has manual single-zone climate control, while the upper trims have an automatic version. The interior materials vary, with the base trim and 1RS having cloth and all others having a combination of cloth and Evotex.
Storage capacity is one of the things that many SUV owners enjoy and explicitly seek out when they are looking for their next vehicle. Besides the Trax's excellent tech features and signature design that graces the interior, there's plenty of room for cargo. With all five seats occupied, you'll still have over 25 cu.ft. of storage space, almost double the average trunk size of a four-door sedan. With the rear seats folded, over 54 cu.ft. becomes available, making the Trax effective in taking it all with you.
Safety and Driving Assistance
The mark of a good manufacturer is that it specializes in much more than performance and comfort, understanding that there's nothing more important than safety. Chevy has always upheld a reputation for vehicles that are safe as they are sustainable, and the 2025 Trax is no exception. Like many vehicles in Chevy's fleet, the Trax comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist. This comprehensive suite of features is out to provide protection and oversight when and where it matters most.
Forward Collision Alert—The moments that occur when a potential collision is spotted and when the proper evasive maneuvers are implemented can pass in less than a blink of an eye. Forward Collision Alert issues a warning when an object is detected and can also issue a warning if you're too close to a vehicle traveling in front of you.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning—A lack of visibility or a brief distraction can sometimes cause you to drift from your lane inadvertently. With this system, an alert will be issued, and corrective steering will be initiated to help you resume your course.
Following Distance Indicator—Another helpful item for preserving reaction time is the Following Distance Indicator, which measures how many seconds are between you and the vehicle you're following. This keeps you informed as to how much reaction time you have should the unexpected happen.
Automatic Emergency Braking—Working between speeds as low as five mph and as high as 50 mph, Automatic Emergency Braking is essential in limiting the damage caused by a collision. It can even help avoid one altogether.
IntelliBeam—Good visibility is essential for safe driving at night, but it's not always available. Chevy's IntelliBeam system engages high beams when necessary and disengages them in the presence of oncoming traffic, so you don't have to worry about it.
Available Packages
The 2025 Chevy Trax is packed with features and has several attributes contributing to its economical and practical performance. However, packages that enhance presentation, comfort, and convenience are also available so you can get the ideal version of the Trax that suits you best. This allows you to truly make the Trax your own.
Driver Confidence Package—An ideal way of increasing the safety features of the Chevy Trax, especially if you've chosen to opt for one of the lower trims, is through the Driver Confidence Package. You'll be granted access to Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. You'll also have Adaptive Cruise Control when equipping this package on the LT, 2RS, or ACTIV, which is essential for preserving reaction time during highway travel.
LS Convenience Package—Exclusively available for the LS trim and Standard on the 1RS, this convenience package includes items geared for comfort and style. You'll have a set of 17-inch aluminum wheels, heated power outside mirrors that match the exterior, remote start, and heated driver and passenger seats.
LT Convenience Package—This package is available only for the LT trim and includes heated front seats, power outside mirrors, a wrapped heated steering wheel, and keyless entry.
Winter/Summer Floor Mats Package—This is a self-explanatory upgrade but undoubtedly essential for any driver operating their vehicle in sandy, muddy, or wet weather conditions. It replaces the original floor mats with all-weather premium carpeted ones.
Interior Protection Package—This is a perfect addition for drivers who often take messy trips or want to protect the floors and cargo space from dirt and grime. All-weather floor liners and an additional liner for the cargo area can help prevent scratches and abrasions from occurring when loaded up while also keeping any mess contained.
Sunroof Package—This will equip the Trax with a power sunroof, and opting for this on the LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trim will also provide wireless charging for your mobile devices.
Blackout Package—This is a stylish upgrade for your new vehicle if you want an all-black look. The front and rear bowtie logos, as well as the Trax logo, are blacked out entirely. Perfect for those who want to make a great first impression anywhere they go.
