1. It’s bigger. Way bigger.
Old Trax felt like a compact that didn’t know what it wanted to be.
New Trax? It grew up. It is over 11 inches longer, and 2 inches wider. It’s now closer to a small SUV than a confused hatchback.
Translation: more space, better road presence, and finally a design that doesn’t scream rental car.
2. It actually looks good now.
The previous Trax was... practical. The new one?
Low roofline, wide stance, Camaro-inspired grille. It punches above its weight in style.
I’ve had buyers say “Wait, that’s a Trax?”
Yes. Yes it is.
3. Tech made a quantum leap.
Old Trax had basic tech. It worked, but felt dated.
New one comes with:
- Standard 8" or 11" touchscreen (depending on trim)
- Wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto
- Available adaptive cruise + lane keep
You’re getting features usually reserved for $40K+ SUVs… in a car starting around $26K.
4. Still cheap — but doesn’t feel cheap.
Chevy kept the price down. But the interior? Way more refined. Soft-touch where it counts, modern dash layout, and clean screen integration.
It’s giving “budget car that doesn't drive like a budget car.”
5. Engine got smaller… but smarter.
Old Trax: 1.4L turbo
New Trax: 1.2L turbo
Yeah, it’s technically smaller. But don’t panic — the new engine is lighter and tuned better. Real-world fuel economy is up, and the car feels more responsive for city driving.
You’re not drag racing this thing, and Chevy knows it.
TL;DR:
- Old Trax: forgettable, functional
- New Trax: bold, useful, and actually fun to own
If you're cross-shopping against HR-V, Kona, or even the Corolla Cross — the 2025 Trax suddenly deserves a long look.
The 2025 Chevrolet Trax is just one of many Chevy SUV’s that get us excited.
