2025 Chevy TRAX Activ | Review and 0-60

[@rennierenteria3753]

MSRP price was not the cost of getting my 2025 catcus green Chevy trax. It came to $28 k on my active model. I love this veh. It handles great and getting 30mpg. I have to say this is the best fun car I ever drove. I’m taking my sales guy out for a steak. I have had so many compliments on the color and style. Thumbs up.

A friend of mine just bought one of these in that color. It actually looks pretty sharp.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

This color really pops in person! I’m sure your friend is enjoying it.

[@Doc1855]

I hope it lasts

@@Doc1855 Yeah, that being said, I could see buying something like this, if I wasn't going to keep it much past the warranty time.

I picked up a red 2025 2RS this past July, 2024. So far I love it.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Nice!!

The center gauge cluster is totally customizable, you can choose between 5 different looks, if you are doing a review on the features make sure you understand them instead of rushing through the cockpit. Push the button on the right front of the steering wheel to select.

I have a 2rs and i love it!

There’s a dipstick too! 👍🏼

Very true!!

Real good review and POV drive. Ive seen this color it really stands out. Trax/Trailblazer are nice vehicles just not crazy about the 3 cylinder engines. Made by GM Korea unfortunate its not also made here. Like the small changes you have made to your review

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Time will definitely tell how these little engines hold up! Great insight, and thanks for watching this one!!

[@XMG3]

just a correction, these weren't designed in USA, they're completely designed by the GM Korea division.

[@FordEnthusiast413]

Good review. Nice vehicle but I would think the Crosstrek or Forester are better choices.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Thanks! Long term or with an AWD need I would also choose the Subaru option. But warm climates, driving around town, and maybe only keeping this while in warranty it feels like a fun little car with a lot of conveniences! 🙂

How does that antenna hold up in a car wash? I'm getting too old to always hand wash my vehicles.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

I would imagine it’s durable enough to withstand quite a few washes. I’ve taken a couple of these and similar Chevys through the car wash over the last couple years and I’ve never thought much about it or noticed any concern. Best of luck!!

[@Texray1]

@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 I actually discovered you can swap the long antenna out for a stubby antenna, available on Amazon. I'll probably do that.

[@subiesojourner777]

Not a GM fan, but it's shows vehicles at this price point are possible. It will be interesting how this does in crash tests. I did a bit of searching an so far I couldn't find anything on the newer models.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Absolutely! I’m concerned another trade off with the price point is the engineering R&D that went into developing its structural safety. Hopefully I’m wrong, because these are pretty cool! Thanks for watching.

[@williamstevenson8518]

It reminds me of the Dodge Hornet. And I have no idea why.

[@exitstrategy8125]

NICE Bro thanks

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

My pleasure! I haven’t driven an ‘Activ’ before, and this color was too good to pass up. 😍

[@cliffdariff74]

😅 halarious... you try to find one at $20.5k 😅😅😅

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Haha, that’s a good point!

LOL Yeah, that's why Car and Driver gave it a 10 out of 10, and ranked it #1. It also made their 10Best Trucks and SUVs for 2024 list. Get a clue... I actually own one and can confirm that it is NOT a POS!
