What is the Trax? In its most concise terms, the Chevy Trax is an affordable and efficient subcompact SUV. The Trax is a relatively new addition to the Chevy lineup, having been released in 2015. Because of this, you'll want to buy this one new. Sometimes with a long-running vehicle, buying an older used model can be a good solution to any budget problems. But the Trax has been discovering exactly what its market is throughout the course of its life and buying a new Trax ensures you a vehicle that knows right where it fits and exactly how to serve your family's needs.
The Trax's mission is to provide an SUV that can accommodate all different kinds of drivers. Because of its compact yet comfortable design, the Trax offers an ideal environment for commuting to the office, lunches with colleagues, and even a date night out. However, the rear seating and spacious interior (both in terms of passenger space and cargo space) make it an ideal vehicle for young families with their first child or two looking to get a reliable SUV at an affordable price.
The Trax is not the kind of vehicle that derives its affordability from a lack of features. On the contrary, the Trax's mission from its very origin has been to provide drivers with the best technology features possible while still keeping its price reasonable. In-vehicle technology was once a luxury, but now it is the norm. The question is not whether or not your vehicle has technology but simply what kind of technology it has. The Trax has always included driver assistance, safety, and infotainment technology, and the newest models are taking things a step ahead.
Why is the Trax better new than used? Well, there are a few reasons. First of all, because the Trax is still a young vehicle (as we said, it's only been around since the 2015 model year), it can be difficult to find the kind of major-league discounts you might find on a decades-old vehicle. The price difference will not be as drastic as may be the case with other used models, so you should get the new model and enjoy everything it offers.
Moreover, the Trax is seeing major innovation at the moment, and you'll certainly want to be among the first to experience this innovation. Simply put, the Trax has always been a great vehicle, but it's currently getting a whole lot better. With a tech-forward model like the Trax, you want to make sure that the technology is up to date. Even just a few model years can make a significant difference––in fact, even just one model year can make a significant difference––in the technology features that may or may not be included.
Of course, it's impossible to keep up with every single model year. Some people may always have the newest iPhone, but most people don't want to buy a new car every year just to keep up with the newest model. Since you probably won't upgrade for a few years, you should buy the newest model year when you can so that you're up to date for a while. With all of this in mind, let's take a look at what is coming down the road in the Trax. As we said, it's currently getting a whole lot better.
For the 2024 model year, the Trax has received a total overhaul and ground-up redesign. We could talk all day about what we love about the all-new 2024 Trax, but we'll spare your time and keep it short. The 2024 Trax looks sportier, thanks to a roofline that is four inches lower, but increases the length of its wheelbase by six inches to provide greater interior volume. This extra volume manifests itself in three extra inches of legroom for a total of 41.9 inches in the front and 38.7 inches in the rear, as well as a 12% increase in cargo volume for a total of 54.1 cu.ft. with the rear seats folded.
Additionally, the 2024 Trax is significantly increasing its technology game. The addition of Chevy Safety Assist (a leading, highly-advanced driver awareness package) as a standard feature, as well as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, serve to provide an integrated, focused, enjoyable, and safe driving experience. We are also sure you will appreciate the massive 11-inch touchscreen that provides easy access to all of these advanced features. If you want the best features on the market in a compact and affordable package, then it is difficult to go wrong with the new 2024 Chevy Trax.
