2024 Chevrolet TRAX RS – interior, exterior and drive / ALL-NEW Chevy TRAX 2024
Chevrolet today introduced a reimagined Trax — a new, technology-forward choice for customers seeking the practicality of a compact car and the utility of an SUV.
Larger than today’s Trax, it provides more space for passengers and cargo, along with more standard and available content. A robust array of standard safety features and a suite of technologies will help keep customers connected, all at a starting MSRP of only $21,495
Five distinct personalities — LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS and ACTIV — offer design and content choices, while all trims add enhanced features and technologies, including:
– Chevy Safety Assist with six advanced safety and driver awareness technologies
– Larger infotainment screens — a standard 8-inch-diagonal system and an 11-inch-diagonal screen on LT, 2RS and ACTIV trims
– Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability
– LED headlamps
– 17-inch, 18-inch or 19-inch wheels
– Four-wheel disc brakes
– Active Noise Cancellation
Additional new features on most trims include push-button start, automatic climate control, wireless phone charging and more. Cruise control is also standard equipment on all models and Adaptive Cruise Control is available on some trims, a first for Trax.
The new Trax is powered by a 1.2L turbocharged inline-three engine rated at a GM-estimated 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. It is matched with a proven six-speed automatic transmission. The turbo contributes to excellent on-demand power, particularly for passing maneuvers and on-ramp acceleration.
Longer, lower and wider than the current model, the 2024 Trax introduces an athletic, muscular design inspired by the Chevrolet Blazer.
Each trim has specific design cues, including specific grille designs and wheels, as well as unique décor, depending on the model:
– LS and LT feature clean, straightforward designs, with additional bright trim on LT. 17-inch steel wheels are standard on LS and 17-inch machined aluminum wheels are standard on LT.
– RS trims offer the Trax’s sportiest design with additional exterior trim accents, as well as a unique grille with an embedded RS badge. The 1RS trim includes unique 18-inch machine-faced aluminum wheels and the 2RS features 19-inch machine-faced aluminum wheels.
– The new ACTIV has a monochromatic look including titanium chrome accents and an aggressive-looking rear skid plate motif. It also features unique black 18-inch wheels.
New dimensions enhance driving experience, spaciousness
The new Trax’s larger dimensions pay dividends when it comes to the driving experience and interior spaciousness, with its nearly 6-inch-longer wheelbase and wider track offering more composed ride and handling characteristics, compared to the current model.
Inside, the 11-inch greater length and 2-inch greater width than the current model translates into greater roominess and cargo capacity, including 3 inches more rear legroom, which increases comfort for rear-seat passengers, and maximum cargo capacity that increases by nearly 12%.
Technology-forward interior
Trax’s interior was designed to have a lightweight feel, achieved with sweeping lines and light, technical cues that emphasize the vehicle’s width and create a sense of airiness — all enabled by the vehicle’s longer, lower and wider platform.
The low instrument panel enhances outward visibility and contributes to the feeling of airiness, while a technical texture pattern sweeps across, adding depth. Other elements take inspirations from other recent Chevy performance vehicle designs, including signature round vents and more.
The different trims also receive their own décor and accents, including:
– LT features black seats with Sky Cool Gray accents
– 2RS features red accents on the seats and a racing-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel
– ACTIV features Evotex seats with yellow accents
– RS and ACTIV trims feature black bowtie emblems
Additional standard and available content include:
– Center console with ergonomically optimized shifter location
– An electronic parking brake opens up more storage space in the console
– Four bottle holders and two cupholders
– Heated front seats, steering wheel and outside mirrors are standard on 1RS, 2RS and ACTIV and available on LT. Heated front seats and outside mirrors are available on LS
– Remote start standard on 1RS, LT, 2RS and ACTIV and available on LS
– Automatic climate control, push-button start and added rear-seat USB ports on LT, 2RS and ACTIV
– Power-adjustable driver’s seat on ACTIV
– Available sunroof
Chevy Safety Assist and more:
– Automatic Emergency Braking
– Front Pedestrian Braking
– Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
