2024 Chevy Trax LT Full Review and 0-60!

[@TonySmithson-c5r]

Bought my 2024 Trax 2RS on 05/23/23 and I couldn't be more pleased! Gettin 35.9 mpg on my commute drive. Absolutely no problem mergin on to the hiway or keeping up eith or passing traffic. I would say this is more than an entry level vehicle The design is well executed and the looks of the Trax is great!!

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Glad to hear you’re having such a great ownership experience! 🙂

[@RPBSpeaks]

I just got the LT on Friday and I’m extremely pleased 🎉❤🎉

[@musicmaestrodj]

I have gotten to drive one around quite extensively and they are super peppy! If anyone has trouble merging into traffic or passing or with everyday driving in this vehicle then they simply don't know how to drive and probably shouldn't be behind the wheel. 🤔

[@alainaswain4348]

I love my new Trax LT. I got the Metallic Grey, with black interior, and blue accents on the dash. I love the features, on this vehicle. It is one of smoothest driving vehicles in have ever had.

Just got a metallic grey with the same black and blue interior today. LT model, with sunroof, confidence package, and LT convenience package. A little over 25k out the door. Been driving it around this afternoon/evening. Love it so far.

[@laranaarana]

I bought this trim in mid-January and have been driving it to and from work (10 mles each way on the street) and I can say that is a fine car (my other vehicle is a 2006 Pontiac Torrent which I still own). It has been averaging 26 m.p.g on the street and the few times I have driven it on the Expressway, it has made 32 m.p.g. Not a bad ride eather, the seat is comfortable (I am 5'8" mid frame). Only time will tell how reliable it will be.

[@slash11lipo]

People will think I'm crazy, but I just traded a 2023 Audi S3 for two of these. A 2RS for me that I picked up yesterday and an ACTIV for my daughter that desperately needed a car. So far I've driven mine 250 miles and love it! In the 30 or so hours I've had it four people have come up to me to check it out and ask about it and everyone loved how it looks. My favorite things are the looks, features, roominess, quietness, mpg. Mine has a sunroof and I'm 6'1 and I have at least 3 inches of headroom. Obviously the loss of power compared to my S3 is enormous, but I need to slow my addiction for speed. If you are contemplating getting one of these you better act fast. Dealers in the Atlanta area are selling out quickly and the largest Chevy dealer in town and probably the country is marking them up $3k to $5k depending on the trim level. Personally I would never buy anything from them and wish others would follow. They are crooks.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Great information, thanks for sharing and your own experiences! I hope the love for it doesn’t wear off. 🙂

[@IWeasel]

I actually thank you’re smart 2 new vehicles for the price of one Audi

[@matthewhart5824]

Audi’s are expensive to maintain and repair speaking from experience of owning a A6. I’m certainly positive the trade was well worth it.

[@musicmaestrodj]

Smart man! I like speed too! 😀 I got to drive one quite extensively and while it may not be as fast as your Audi they are super peppy and I would have no issues driving one every day. In fact, I am looking at purchasing an RS2.

[@FATTIEASMR]

9.44 seconds 0-60 truly isn't bad for a 137 hp 3cyl. It matches the HR-V and it's really impressive for all the features this comes with. I'm truly impressed.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Yeah, when you put it all into perspective, that is quite impressive, lol. 🙂 Kinda crazy the difference between this turbo 3 vs. the turbo 3 (1.6L) in the GR Corolla that makes 300HP. 😲

[@joshgutierrez7380]

It doesn’t quite match the hrv but it’s close

[@dave1956]

I remember when anything under 10 seconds was rocket like. The last Chevrolet I owned was a 1969 Impala. Obviously it was a few years ago. I am currently driving a 2018 Honda CR-V that I bought when I retired. I have never liked it. I was thinking about a Tucson but I live in an area where theft is a major concern. I would consider this vehicle. We rarely drive long trips anymore and I find the price very attractive. I realize that you get what you pay for but for my station in life this might be enough car. I could buy two for what the average vehicle sells for.

[@craiggoldstein2461]

Dave, As long as you get a Hyundai/Kia with push button start you don't have the theft issue thats reported in the news.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

I hear what you’re saying. Definitely check it out if you’re interested. Quite the vehicle for half the average price huh, lol. 🙂

[@myNEONCITY]

Are you just looking for something new? I honestly wouldn’t recommend going from a CR-V to this.

[@dave1956]

@@myNEONCITY I have never been all that thrilled with my 2018 CR-V. Admittedly I came out of a 2013 Acura RDX that I loved, but I stupidly wanted to start my retirement in a brand new car with a warranty. My tastes and needs in a vehicle are quite different today than in 2018. I no longer drive longer trips and I hate the CVT in the Honda. I’m old enough that I still like changing vehicles every 5 years or so. If I get a car that I like I will drive it into the ground. My other car is a 2007 Hyundai Sonata that has been by far the BEST car that I have ever owned. I still love it

So far no regrets. lol Two totally different cars, so there's really no comparing them. Had 87k miles on the Impala and a few quirks were starting to show so decided to give this new Chevy a try.

I saw this car yesterday for the first time and I thought it was some sort of budget-luxury vehicle, like an entry level Lexus or something, until I saw the Chevy logo, then I was even more impressed when I saw that it's a Trax. They made it wider and with a nice ground clearance, I dig the rear end wideness, pretty cool compared to what the Trax was. Yet I'm still into trucks.

[@musicmaestrodj]

Good review. I am considering purchasing an RS1or RS2. I like the keyless entry and push button start in the RS2 but i prefer the analog guages in the RS1 and lower price tag. I will definitely get the driver confidence package and the sunroof package added on as well. Color will be Fountain Blue. I also think I prefer the 18-in wheels due to the higher side wall so it probably rides a little bit better than the 19-inch wheel with its stiffer sidewall. I did get to drive an RS1 for a day and really liked it. It has plenty of pep and handles great! I would like to check out the interior in an RS2 to see how it compares. I did like the cloth seats but am afraid that they'll stain easily. The red stitching in the RS2 looks cool in the videos but I will have to check it out in person to see if I like the feel of the vinyl. Great looking car too.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Great write up! I hope it all works out for you with whatever you decide to do. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@craiggoldstein2461]

Good review.....I test drove one this week and found take off from a stop there was a noticeable lag before power comes on. Any thoughts?

[@scottchambers3569]

Sounds like a simple pedal commander could make this a phenomenal suv.

[@dave1956]

Turbo lag

[@AnthonyEvelyn]

Sounds like turbo lag.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

I’m thinking the same thing as these other replies, turbo lag. With only 1.2 liters it takes a second to move enough air to spool the tiny turbo. That’s why the driver seat feel of my 0-60 launch was somewhat surprising that the torque converter let me rev so high. It was actually in the powerband which felt good, but then by about 40MPH you feel the lack of horsepower with that next upshift and power drops off. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@Paul-cx4gm]

I really like the exterior styling of these especially how the rear end is shaped and styled from about the middle of the rear doors back.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

They do look quite sharp in person! Similar to some specs of the Trailblazer.🙂

[@parsley0120]

Do really wish these came in AWD, but I realize Chevy is wanting to push you to the Trailblazer for that. It's a great value and I bet it'll be a hot seller.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

I think you’re right! The 1st gen could be optioned with AWD, that and the smaller overall vehicle size I know deters some people from liking this 2nd gen. 🙂

[@rocketshiftgaming5693]

Yes not everyone needs AWD. Just think how in the 50s 60s and 70s everyone had RWD and FWD only vehicles and they still managed to go through snow. Just put some good snow tires.

[@fredgilbert2032]

@@rocketshiftgaming5693 and 80s and early 90s. I never saw a need for AWD unless you were going to drive up in the sticks for hunting or fishing. I grew up in PA and never had an accident in the snow. Though I will say just like driving a manual driving a 2WD car in the snow is becoming a lost art.

Do you think the "trunk" is big enough to have a set of golf clubs in it without putting the seats down?

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

That’s a good question, I just tried some googling to find cargo width or diagonal dimensions and found nothing, so I’m not sure. I bet it would be close if it can’t. The cargo volume is a few Cu/ft better than a Crosstrek (which I use to own). But in that vehicle I would fold down one side of rear seats to fit my clubs, but I also carried other gear in it….🤷‍♂️🙂

Its about as fast as the base engine models of some compact crossovers like the Outback, Equinox, Tucson, Sportage and Santa Fe and Outlander. Its definitely competitive with other subcompact crossovers.

[@dillonh321]

I have a 2017 outback 2.5l and it is about as fast once you factor in the power loss from elevation which doesn’t affect the turbo engine on the trax. It’s just as fast.

[@LicPlate8VPL158]

not outback, but the base model crosstrek. The 24 trax has more fuel efficiency and more pep since it does not have the garbage cvt like the crosstrek. I highly recommend the trax over the crosstrek any day

1st and second gear are quick. 3rd is long and easily adds another second to the 0-60 time.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

For sure!

[@BTC909]

Should have been a Hybrid standard. Since you have to go with a smaller displacement engine (emissions) you might as well make it a Hybrid & continue to get the manufacturing costs down now.

[@myNEONCITY]

A hybrid should be optional, but making it standard would raise the starting price and by far the most attractive thing about this vehicle is the price.

[@BTC909]

CAFE requirements are never ending so you might as well start now. Toyota was on the right track long ago. But instead lets reduce displacement & drop a cylinder@@myNEONCITY
