Everyone needs to understand that it’s built to a price point and in this case under 25k for a good size crossover.

Nice review of the new Chevy Trax 2024. 👍 Thanks for not trashing my Chevy Trax 2022, like most of all the other reviewers do. ❤

My grandson worked his butt off for 2 years while going to college. Saved enough to pay cash for a 2017. He didn’t have it 3 months and the engine blew up one cold morning in Colorado. Broke my heart. Dealer wouldn’t do anything.

Bought a 2023 Traverse last December. Absolutely gorgeous 3 row value. Zero issues and extremely quiet on the road. Bought a Subaru Outback for my wife in 2022. Also an excellent vehicle but my Traverse is quieter and more comfortable on the highway. We are looking for a new car for our daughter and yes I am considering this amongst the Crosstrek. I will say I prefer non turbo engines so it may likely be the Crosstrek in this case. My point though is that Chevy is making some very good vehicles and a lot of biases are based on old vehicles. Look at consumer reports or JD satisfaction ratings. Chevy is doing an admirable job these days. 👍

I love my new Trax LT. I got it in the metallic grey. I love how smooth this car drives on the road. I also love my heated seats and heated steering wheel. Great on cold winter mornings. The engine may be small, but I have zero issues with getting up to speed in it. Great vehicle for the price.

Great job on the video. During the driving section, I felt like a tourist with a knowledgeable guide showing me the sights.

I got this because I needed something small and inexpensive but more cargo space than another compact car. Hopefully with good routine maintenance I can get 200,000 miles out of it. If not I’ll cut my losses and move on. It’s cute but all the extras are so new to me. 😂

Probably the best value in a new car today. Incredible value. $10,000-$15,000 LESS than its competitors. 😮

Great job, well done.

Give the 3 cylinder in the Trax a chance. The larger Ford Escape and the Nissan Rogue also have 3 cylinder engines.

The problem with the TRAX is no dealers have them. Saids in transit and that seems to be where it ends. I look for the price to suddenly jump like the Ford Maverick did.

I just bought a Chevy Trax RS and love it. A lot of bang for the buck.

I bought one and LOVE IT!!!!

I realized halfway through the video that you did this test drive at my local Chevy, regal Chevy haha

This is a really great + car for the price with all bells & whistles. I bought Trax Active in silver grey. Rides great and spacious. No need to consider “used” cars for ridiculous prices. Why not buy a brand new one 👍💯

It's good to see the positive owner experiences in the comments. Does anyone know ifthe 2024 Trax has been crash tested? I can't find any info for this model year on the NHTSA or IIHS web sites.

It drives like a sonic. If you are in the market of getting a new car, test drive the trax. I tried the 2023 sentra s, 2023 kicks sv and s, honda hrv and malibu. And i bought the trax 1rs I was going to get the 2rs but i am done with leather interior. When it's hot , it's burning hot. Super comfortable to drive. Not the fastest car in the world but super easy to drive. I will test it out for a long drive and i am expecting it to be a smooth comfortable ride.

Our speakers are making a vibrating noise very loud even when the stereo is off. Ours is 2024 with 300 miles on it and it’s back at the dealer right now.

Given the value proposition, from what I have read and seen (even the carcarenut, a Toyota mechanic, likes this car). The timing belt should not be that big an issue. I like the regular transmission vs CVT, it sits a bit higher than a sedan, it has a very good safety rating, quiet enough, decent ride, yada yada. For what I am looking for, saving a few bucks on a recent vintage used Kona or whatever does not quite cut it for me.

Great review! How do they handle in snowy conditions?

It's the first Trax review that says sporty about Trax and doesn't complain about underpowered engine and poorly tuned transmission. Everyone else does a lot.

I used all my GM rewards as downpayment and got an LS of this. CHEAPEST zero options, plastic hubcaps. Old School. Is fun. Got a new car for used car price almost. I don't drive that much now that most of us work from home. This was replacing a vehicle that had pretty much rusted away and was no longer drivable. I did some research before I signed the paperwork thought. The engine proven itself very reliable and been in the Base TrailBlazer since 2017. The 2024 Trax, is basically the what GM has been selling since 2017 or before in Asia, Latin America, etc. as the Tracker. In the 90's the Chevy Tracker was briefly sold after most GEO's became Chevy's but the Tracker of the 1990's was a rebadged Suzuki.

Anthony rocks.

I like the looks of the new Trax and I was seriously thinking about it in the 2RS trim. I changed my mind when I found out the 1.2 L engine has a timing belt-in-oil which is a horrible design. I’ve see where the rubber timing belt can shed debris into the engine oil and clog the oil pick up tube and destroy the engine. I’m not a fan of tiny turbo engines as it is but that engine is a recipe for disaster. I’d feel a little more comfortable with the 1.3L engine that is optional in the Trax’s sister vehicle the Trailblazer, at least that one uses a steel timing chain. The 155 hp 1.3L in the Trailblazer also gets about 2 mpg better than the 1.2L telling me the 1.2 is strained at only 137 hp output.

I drove back and forth to work every day for 30 years, 80 miles total. Never had anything but rear wheel and snow tires. Not one single accident or mishap. My secret? Slow down and take your time in bad weather.

I live in the northeast ( we get decent snowfall) and I see these everywhere. My concern is are these Chevy dealers telling their customers that their crossover doesn’t have awd. Yea, I understand if you know how to drive in the snow, fwd isn’t a problem. But I feel most of these customers are not the type of people that would consider themselves good snow drivers. I just don’t understand who makes a crossover SUV and decides not to add all wheel drive as an option. Like, were they under the influence at Chevy when they designed this thing?

Hi Anthony i have 2 questions...1: Is this vehicle capable of doing a long road trip and 2: If i dont use am or fm radio can i take off the little arial antenna as i only use sirius xm ..on a side note i wonder if i can get a shark fin instead...great videos Anthony keep it up.

Very Good Report, CVT is just an over built snowmobile clutch, we always had to carry spare belts, does that tell you something?

Well I just got a 2024 and it's actually my second Trax. The first was a 2023 and three weeks after i got it a lady ran a red light and ultimately it got totaled. At barely 40mph they estimated the total damages at $13k so they totaled it. This 2024 only had 9 total miles and it literally just got delivered. So far I love it but I'm no mechanic by any means. So I was just watching Videos to see what other's say just so i won't be surprised by potential mechanical issues. Aside from some minor nit picking things the worst I've seen was issues with the turbo and stuff with the cooling system. So I fully understand you get what you pay for. Those issues seen fairly minor and reasonable.

Hopefully easy and cheap to work on. I predict your going to see ALOT of these on the road for the price, making parts cheaper.

We bought the activ model it's bad ass

You forgot the Equinox AWD that comes before the Blazer and Traverse.

One problem? If you are a fan of Sirius XM there is no playback function installed in the software in the 2024 Trax vehicles.. Chevrolet cheapened out on the software.

2:54 I just bought an LT last week and I didn’t get that bag. Is that standard?!?

Im glad they didn't go down the CVT rabbit hole with this car. Usually when I see CVT I walk away. I am a little disappointed in the engine offering. I don't see a turbo 3 cylinder lasting long enough for reliability. A naturally aspirated 2.0 liter with that traditional transmission would have been great and the option for a 5 speed manual in all trim levels would be icing on the cake.

I just test drove a 24’ Trax RS1 I should have went on the highway as I did with the 3 cyl Trailblazer I was up to 81 mph in no time. I am concern with the 1.2 TURBO as we know turbo lags in 0 to -20 cold temps. Me: 45 year mechanic, I have issues. I like the 6 speed trans will NEVER own a Continual Vicious Termoil trans ever! We send people back to dealerships as we cannot or won’t work on them or replace them (300 pcs on the metal band riding on two cones). They are built for Hybrid and EVs only. Period!! **On that note My Friend had a 1986 Chevy Sprint 3cyl (Susuki) put almost 300,000 miles on it he never flushed the trans and I kept hounded him to do it often, So the trans blew up on trip from Chicago Burb to Terre Haute Indy..end of story but it had good power for 3- 30 year old immature guys including me I’m over 60 now still immature. Love cars! 👉Back to the 24’ Chevy Trax I was impress as I’m 6’4” tall has same room as Trailblazer love the new design and NO push button start 🥰 has same real key as my 2015 Equinox LTZ. not fond but will deal with the 8-9-10 speed auto, 6 speed is perfect so either I get the Trailblazer AWD or Trax I will go on highway tomorrow with the 1.2L Trax that will be my decider.. As for the 2019-2023 Blazer I don’t like GM Asinine Freakin Management technology on the 3.6 L V6 cutting off 3 cylinders. it ruins engines oil gets displaced and lifters destroyed $7000 on company 53K miles 5.3L GMC Sierra w/AFM…I’ll give Update on my new purchase ✌🇺🇸

The Buick version of this looks much nicer inside and out and for not much more money.

This Trax supposed to be simple and easy design but it looks very aggressive and supposed to be styling or luxury one. Plus little bigger as you look it from over 150 yard distance and may not be if you look it close by. Otherwise LT tirm is very perfect means push button start, nice rim, 17" radius tire, apple car play, android auto, no need sun roof which is good to keep price low, nice cloth seats, halogen lights nothing wrong and looks nice, but all I am saying should be regular like Chevy have sonic sedan, little high and at least 16 or 17 rim.

I love chrome you use to pay extra for that. Not more to delete it.

Yes, it's ICE!

Honda's CVT Transmission will outlast any GM transmission.

I don’t understand how they put padding on the side but not where you rest your damn arm.

I didn’t get that bag with my LT. hmmm

As a senior, this car isn't for those of us. Took it for test drive as I liked the new styling. Getting in I had to wedge my way into seat. I really liked the dashboard layout but everything around me,the door panels,seats,console was just really cheap looking. It had a very stiff ride compared to my Equanox. Rear visibility out window was really bad. I learned this wasn't the car for me.

I’m buying one to Uber with

Trying to delete FM radio stations Any help please??????????????

From what I've heard, most would-be buyers aren't too excited about that 3 cylinder engine. Might as well get a Trailblazer or Equinox.

I would buy one if GM had a better warranty like Kia and Hyundai i just don't trust the quality of these cars.

It’ll hurt cost wise but this is in range for an outright purchase. I just can’t do debt, I hate it. If I do get an LT, I will shell out for the extended warranty. I do a lot of driving and expect to hit 100k in six years.

3 cylinders? Did I hear right?

What was the ONE BIG PROBLEM that was mentioned in the video's title?

I don't understand why they keep bitching about the Trax being a front wheel drive car, when most cars are front wheel drive anyways

After driving a Toyota corolla cross compared to this I was sold on the cross hands down. Built in USA and not oversea etc., Those who don't understand practicality, keeping it simple and thus reliability don't know toyotas. It's no frills are for these reasons. Toyota makes more vehicles in the states and employs more including suppliers than any other car company.

... so, what's the "one big problem"?? No AWD?

I've had my eye on this car for about a year. Definitely a womanly car, for my wife. Maybe I can afford it and get her one.

Probably Brick itself real soon; watch resale tank in no time. With Korea/Mexico build; there probably $37.00 in labor cost to build.

Bro I got a corvette that does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, that thing does not “make you feel like you’re in a sports car”

Pretty good, but GM needs to get over their addiction to chrome. The chrome accents on the grille ruin the entire look. Nice review, though!

No awd! And price too high for cheap!! Buy the Toyota/ honda. Quality not cheap..

CVTs in Hondas and Toyotas are far more reliable than the 6-speed auto in the Trax. History shows us this. The Trax is a very attractive and nicely packaged vehicle, but with that tiny turbo engine that uses a timing belt instead of a chain, I predict long-term reliability and ownership costs are going to be quite poor. GM Korea turbos tend to have a very short lifespan and they are EXPENSIVE to replace. I recommend spending a little more money and getting a Honda HRV, Toyota Corolla Cross, or even a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. All have much better reputations. The Outlander Sport also has a fantastic 10yr/100k mile powertrain warranty.

Bought a New Chevy years ago...it was either the engine or transmission constantly going out. WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT. I would walk first.

The Buick looks much better- has more design reach. Acres of plastic on the front end- cheapens the Chevy

The one big problem? Reliability over time

Buy a Mazda the Chevy and Buick will depreciate fast as a three cylinder piles UAW JEWELS CAN HIT 50% in two years.

it is a bad vehicle its been more then 2 months it is still at the dealership shop beacuse they cant get the part to fix the digital cluster and infotaimentt system. Basically I am paying for something i dont have it is very frustrating and yet chevrolet has not help me one bit I already put a complaint and have not gotten a response from chevrolet. they sold me a lemon car

you lost me at NO AWD.....

That engine is suspect.

It's made by GM , enough said....

Engine is way too small; it weighs 4100 pounds.

3 cyl engine ??? Nope

Is it like the piece of junk like the Chevy Cruze

At first glance, I thought it was that hideous Mitsubishi SUV…

No awd and government regulation weak engine

Its a GM! Thats the biggest problem...😂

Heard there breaking down. Junk

I will never buy a CVT.

More junk from Chevy will it make it up 9 mile hill ?

Union rattle trap

Biggest problem…It’s A Chevy👎🏾

It's junk.

its a chevy the problem is staring you in the face

Well IMO I would buy 10 GM vehicles b4 i buy 1 Ford. Bring on the trax

Nice looking but lawn mower sized engine!!

Biggest problem is that it's made by GM.

The problem is clear as day, has a chevy emblem!!!!
