The Chevrolet Trax is proof that cheap does not have to mean sad. The first-generation Trax, a small, somewhat forgettable crossover, arrived in the mid-2010s, but the second generation, launched for 2024, transformed it into one of the most compelling bargains in the American market. Larger, sleeker and far more attractive than before, it offered surprising space and modern technology at a price that made it one of the least expensive new vehicles you could buy.
The Trax is built in South Korea and uses a small turbocharged three-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive and a simple, honest cabin. Its appeal is clear: a stylish SUV that fits a tight budget, with enough room for a small family and a large touchscreen. Critics note that the engine is modest, all-wheel drive is not available and some interior materials reveal its price. Recent updates have added more standard safety features, while dropping the most affordable trim and nudging the starting price higher.
The Trax competes with the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Kona and Venue, Nissan Kicks, Honda HR-V, Subaru Crosstrek and its corporate cousin, the Buick Envista. It has become one of the more important vehicles in Chevrolet's lineup as affordable options grow scarcer and average new-car prices keep climbing. Versions of the Trax are sold in other markets, including Mexico, with their own styling updates, and its Korean production makes it sensitive to trade policy and tariff changes that could affect its famously low price.
The Trax is a bellwether for the affordable end of the market, which makes its model-year updates, pricing changes and trim adjustments more newsworthy than its modest specifications might suggest. Reviews and fuel-economy tests, recall notices and reliability reports fill in the details for shoppers. Comparison tests against the Seltos, Kona and HR-V show how well Chevrolet's budget approach is working, and whether the Trax can keep its price low as automakers retreat from the bottom of the market.
Chevy's budget small SUV, a roomy, Korean-built crossover among the cheapest new vehicles in America and a surprise hit for first-time buyers.
