How the 2025 Chevy Trax Offers Everything You’re Looking for in a Commuter SUV
If you are a daily driver or someone who commutes to work every day, you may be feeling the pinch from rising gas prices and other expenses affected by inflation. There are few things more frustrating than working all week at your job only to see your paycheck devoured by expenses. Fortunately, there is a way for you to save money while driving an amazing vehicle. Checking out the Chevy lineup is going to find the solution to your dilemma. The 2025 Chevy Trax is a surprisingly affordable subcompact SUV that will continue to save you money during your years of ownership.
Recently redesigned for the 2024 model year, the Trax is a five-seat vehicle that offers great fuel economy while also delivering many of the comfort and convenience you have come to expect in modern vehicles. DePaula Chevrolet is the place to go to experience this exciting model for yourself. We are an authorized Chevy dealer, which means that we can get you the Trax you want from its set of five trim options. This lets you choose one that meets your needs and fits your budget perfectly.
Fuel Efficiency Without Compromising on Performance
The 2025 Chevy Trax gets an impressive 30 MPG in combined fuel economy. This is exactly what every commuter needs, whether they are going to work or school. It means that you will not have to fill up your tank on your Trax as often as you might with another model. This exceptional fuel economy results from the Trax sporting a very efficient 1.2-liter EcoTec Turbo I-3 gas engine, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine has a dual overhead camshaft configuration, with 12 valves for its three cylinders and direct fuel injection.
Despite its relatively small size, the engine is intercooled and turbocharged, giving it an impressive output of 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. It is also E85 compatible, allowing you to use this flex fuel if you so desire. Chevy has made the Trax front-wheel drive standard. This will give you the best fuel economy possible, as well as solid acceleration. In fact, the Trax can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 8.8 seconds with a top speed of 115 mph. While the Trax won’t win any races, it will give you enough acceleration to easily merge onto a busy highway during rush hour.
A Comfortable Interior With a Surprising Amount of Cargo Space
The 2025 Trax can seat up to five passengers with 98 cu.ft. of space inside of its cabin. Unlike many other subcompact SUVs, the Trax has a very useful back seat. While the front seats have 39.6 inches of headroom and 41.9 inches of legroom, your passengers seated in the back won’t feel cramped with 38.1 inches of headroom and 38.7 inches of legroom.
The seats on the Trax are quite comfortable, with all models except the LS featuring heated driver front passenger seats. This is an available feature on the LS. In addition, the front has bucket seats, while the rear is a 60/40 split-folding bench. Depending on the trim level you choose, the seats come upholstered with cloth or Evotex. Chevy also offers a number of other optional seat appearances depending on your choice of trim.
No matter which trim level you choose, the Trax features standard Active Noise Cancellation. This is a special technology that works to block and absorb sound using in-cabin microphones. These identify external noises and work to cancel them so the inside of the Trax remains quiet and free from unwanted sounds. This also works to dampen and eliminate road vibrations. As a result, you and your passengers will experience minimal road noise while riding in the Trax. If you need to move things, then you are sure to love the Trax’s space. Despite the vehicle’s relatively small size, you can fit up to 25.6 cu.ft. of your belongings in the Trax’s trunk. If you need more space, you can flip down the rear bench or either side of it to free up to 54.1 cu.ft. of total cargo space.
Safety is Always Standard
Chevy has put a premium on passenger safety by making it standard on the 2025 Trax. There are six airbags strategically placed throughout the interior to shield you and your passengers in the unfortunate event of a collision. The Trax also has a Buckle to Drive feature that will not allow you to put the vehicle into gear unless you and the front passenger have buckled up.
There is also a set of six standard active driver assistance features on each Trax. These Chevy Safety Assist technologies will help you avoid collisions while reducing the impact of ones that prove to be unavoidable. The Following Distance Indicator will let you know if you are getting too close to the vehicle in front of you. If the system detects an imminent collision, it will activate the Forward Collision Alert so you can take evasive action. At the same time, the system will engage the Automatic Emergency Braking so you can come to a safe stop or reduce the impact of an unavoidable crash. It even has a Front Pedestrian Braking feature that will bring your Trax to a stop if it detects a pedestrian in your vehicle’s path.
One of the biggest causes of highway accidents is distracted driving. If you get distracted, you may begin to drift into an adjacent lane or even oncoming traffic. With the Trax, if you start to drift, the Lane Departure Warning will sound, while the Lane Keep Assist will use slight steering adjustments to get you back on the straight and narrow. The Trax also features IntelliBeam high beam assist, which operates your vehicle’s high beam headlights in areas of low light. It will turn them on when the lighting gets low and then off when the lighting improves or if it detects another motorist.
If you are buying the Trax for a young driver in your household, then you will appreciate the Teen Driver Technology. This acts like a chaperone on the road when your young driver is alone or with friends. The technology prevents the driver from deactivating certain safety systems, and will not allow the vehicle’s radio to operate until the driver and front seat passenger have fastened their safety belts. It will also limit the volume of the radio to reduce distractions. Once the young driver has completed their trip, you will receive an in-vehicle report card so you can make sure that your young driver has driven safely. This helps make the Trax an ideal choice for a first car.
No Cords? No Problem!
Staying connected is always important, no matter why you are using your vehicle. This is why the 2025 Trax comes equipped with a Chevrolet Infotainment system. The Trax LS and 1RS models have an 8-inch touchscreen, while the LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trims feature an 11-inch screen. No matter which one you choose, you will get standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This will let you make hands-free calls and texts while streaming your favorite music from your connected smartphone. Since it is wireless, you can pair your phones even if you accidentally left your charging cables at home.
Choosing a soundtrack for your daily commute can involve accessing your phone’s streaming app or finding a favorite channel on SiriusXM. Each 2025 Trax comes with a trial subscription, so you can access the best in ad-free music, talk, comedy, news, and sports. The Chevrolet Infotainment system also has a Wi-Fi hotspot, so you and your passengers can stay connected to the internet wherever you go. You can also keep your phones charged using the two USB ports located in the front dashboard of the Trax.
