Chevrolet Unveils 2025 Trax: Affordable SUV with Enhanced Features

URGENT UPDATE: The all-new 2025 Chevrolet Trax has just been unveiled, promising an affordable and well-equipped compact SUV for budget-conscious buyers. Starting at just $27,900, this second-generation model is set to make waves in the growing SUV market, particularly as vehicle prices continue to rise.

The Trax, manufactured in a General Motors factory in South Korea, features a sleek design that borrows cues from the midsize Blazer and subcompact Trailblazer. With a length of over 5 inches longer than its predecessor and a wheelbase that offers two inches more room between the front and rear wheels, the Trax stands out as the smallest utility vehicle in Chevrolet’s lineup while maximizing cargo capacity.

Inside, drivers will find a modern interior highlighted by a digital gauge display and an optional 11-inch infotainment screen tilted towards the driver. Both screens support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring seamless connectivity. The latest model’s ergonomically optimized floor shifter enhances driver comfort, making it a practical choice for urban commuting.

Under the hood, the Trax is powered by a turbocharged 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine that delivers 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. While this marks a reduction in power compared to the previous model’s turbo 1.4-litre engine, early reports indicate that the new Trax performs well in city traffic, albeit requiring more patience for highway acceleration. Notably, the 2025 Trax is now strictly front-wheel drive, aligning with the preferences of 70 percent of original Trax buyers.

Fuel efficiency ratings are impressive, with consumption estimated at 8.5 l/100 km in the city and 7.6 l/100 km on the highway. The Trax also boasts a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms), making it versatile for various needs.

Safety features remain a priority, with the base LS trim equipped with dynamic technologies such as automatic emergency braking, forward-collision alert, and lane-keeping assist. Higher trims add premium features including remote start, heated seats, and unique trim-specific designs, catering to a range of buyer preferences.

As the compact SUV market heats up, the 2025 Chevrolet Trax emerges as a strong contender, offering a blend of style, efficiency, and affordability. With upcoming competition from models like the Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Soul, the Trax aims to win over budget-minded consumers.

Stay tuned for further updates as the Trax hits showrooms in the coming months, providing an exciting and accessible option for those seeking a new vehicle amid rising prices.
