2024 Model Redesign Year

The redesigned Trax is an inexpensive front-drive small SUV. It comes with a 137-hp, 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder combined with a six-speed automatic. All-wheel drive isn't available. The engine delivers a welcome dose of midrange torque, and fuel economy is a decent 31 mpg overall in our testing, but the power delivery is often uneven, with either too much or too little acceleration. The ride is comfortable for the segment; handling is short on agility though very secure at its limits. The cabin is relatively spacious but gets loud, and fit and finish feels on the cheap side.

Still, the controls are easy to use, the rear seat and cargo area are roomy, and the car is well equipped for its modest price. BSW and RCTW are low-priced options, but highway speed AEB is not available.

2024-Present

2024 Model Redesign Year

The redesigned Trax is almost a foot longer than its predecessor. It is now one of the biggest SUVs in a class that includes the Kia Seltos and Nissan Kicks. The only available powerplant is a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo engine and a six-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is not available. The exterior is modeled on the Blazer, with a prominent grille and slim LED daytime running lights. The tidy interior is roomier than in the previous Trax and features straightforward climate controls and a traditional shift lever.

The new Trax finally gets standard AEB with pedestrian detection. BSW and RCTW are optional.

2015-2023

2015 Model Redesign Year

This bite-sized crossover, essentially a stripped down Buick Encore, is an ambitiously-priced budget model. Available in front- or all-wheel drive, the Trax has a 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder and six-speed automatic, which didn't deliver performance or fuel economy. The cabin is narrow, cramped, and overall basic, with just a few niceties. Pronounced engine noise and stiff ride don't add to the experience. The Trax does feature the next-generation versions of OnStar and MyLink infotainment systems. Updates for 2022 include a boost in the engine's horsepower, now making 155 hp.
