You’ll have to go a long way in Stanleytown, Rocky Mount, Greensboro, and anywhere else to find better value in a new vehicle than the 2025 Chevrolet Trax. The exterior styling is modern and exciting, the interior is spacious, and the standard features are generous at all trim levels. Despite those impressive credentials, the 2025 Chevrolet Trax is also one of the most affordable new vehicles you can buy today.
The 2025 Chevrolet Trax lineup offers buyers a choice of five trim levels. Since several models have relatively minimal price differences, paying particular attention to the various specifications is essential. The LS is the entry model and the most affordable trim level, but its standard specification makes it hard to be unimpressed. The 1RS is the following trim level, while the LT is the mid-range trim level. The ACTIV and the 2RS are the fourth and fifth variants. These two share the top-of-the-range status as they cost the same. It’s up to you to decide which style suits you best.
With regard to the powertrain, Chevrolet has decided to keep things straightforward for all five trim levels. The 2025 Chevrolet Trax is powered by a 1.2-liter turbo-three gasoline engine generating 137 horsepower and 167 lb.-ft. of torque. The standard six-speed automatic gearbox of the 2025 Trax transfers all power to the front wheels in every situation. As a vehicle aimed primarily at town and city drivers, there’s no real need for a big engine or a complex four-wheel drive system in the Trax. If the Trax had poor gas mileage, it wouldn’t fit the affordability message. With EPA fuel economy ratings of 28 mpg in the city, 32 mpg on the interstate, and 30 mpg combined, the 2025 Chevrolet Trax is reassuringly economical. The driving experience is nimble and engaging, largely thanks to the Ride and Handling suspension of the Trax that Chevrolet says is “tuned for a smooth ride and optimum handling.”
Despite its subcompact classification and appropriately modest exterior dimensions, the interior of the 2025 Chevrolet Trax is surprisingly spacious. The wheelbase is longer than previous models, which results in impressive rear legroom and decent cargo-carrying capacity. The first two trim levels get an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, but the LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trims get upgraded to an 11.0-inch unit. Every model has standard wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto connectivity, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, active noise cancellation, climate control, and remote keyless entry. A 3.5-inch Driver Information Center is standard, showing information such as speed, fuel range, fuel economy, tire pressures, oil life, trip odometer, and warning icons. If you have the ACTIV or 2RS trim, that gets upgraded to an 8.0-inch unit. Those trims also feature a heated steering wheel and Evotex seat trim.
The 2025 Chevrolet Trax is a subcompact crossover SUV that’s hard to fault. It appears to know exactly what it is, what it needs to do, and what its target audience wants. If you think and assume that affordability means compromise, mundane styling, and low specification, the Trax begs to differ.
