NEXT STAGE: Redesign in 2023

The redesigned 2024 Trax — bigger, wider and lower; part hatchback and part sporty crossover — is being positioned as a clean break from its predecessors. The re-imagined baby ute is slotted as the gateway to Chevrolet just below the Trailblazer in the smallest crossover segment, allowing shoppers multiple entry points to the brand. Chevrolet is pitching the Trax as a roomier, wider version of the Trailblazer — one that can hold more cargo and people — at a lower price.

The new Trax features a 1.2-liter turbocharged inline-three engine generating 137 hp and 162 pound-feet of torque mated with a six-speed transmission, putting it on par with the Trailblazer. Unlike the Trailblazer, however, it will not offer all-wheel drive — an option on previous Trax models.

Pricing for the latest Trax starts at $21,495 and tops out at $24,995 on two upper trims. Both prices include shipping.

Timing for future updates is uncertain.
