Drivers in the Albany area deserve to have a crossover SUV that they can trust to tackle their daily challenges, whether it's dropping the kids off at school or facing a nasty snowstorm on the way to work. Whether a trip to New York City is in the cards or the Catskills are calling, anyone traveling New York's highways wants a vehicle they can rest certain has their back; the new 2024 Chevy Trax is just that SUV. If you're commuting or taking trips with your friends and family, the Chevy Trax will have you covered. It's been engineered to service customers of all kinds, from solo drivers to those who foresee a multitude of passengers.
The 2024 Trax is defined by its versatility, allowing no driver to feel boxed in when planning their day. Most exciting, though, is that the 2024 Chevy Trax is the start of a new era. The Trax took 2023 off as Chevy redesigned it into the exciting crossover it now is. To get a sense of its evolution, let's look at the 2024 Chevy Trax vs 2022 Chevy Trax. While we'll always like the 2022 model, there's no question that the 2024 Chevy Trax 2024 stands out among Chevy's current SUV lineup.
The new generation of Trax excels on the road, proving there's no reason a crossover SUV cannot have stellar acceleration and a smooth ride. When your SUV has to speed up, the last thing you want is a feeling that the crossover is straining to meet your demands, almost coughing as it struggles to keep up with your expectations. There'll be no such case with the Chevy Trax as it's designed to meet the moment no matter what the moment might be.
The new generation of the Chevy Trax is powered by a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that is standard on all trims. It gives the driver 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. The solid horsepower rating prevents the Trax from feeling like it's dragging at higher speeds. You want a smooth, gentle ride even on busy highways, and this crossover's horsepower will grant you just that. The 2024 Trax's engine is efficient, too, garnering a fuel economy of 28 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.
The 2022 Trax has a 1.4L four-cylinder engine. Horsepower and torque ratings are a little higher than the 2024's model, yet its performance seriously lagged in comparison, taking an entire second longer to reach 0 to 60 mph. Why the difference? The 3-cylinder engine of the 2024 Trax gives it the ability to use all of its power effectively. The 4-cylinder engine of the 2022 Trax makes it less efficient in terms of performance and mileage. That's why its MPG rating is lower, too, getting 24 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. With the 2022 Trax, you'll be making more frequent stops at the pump than in the 2024 Trax.
This is not to knock the 2022 Trax's performance; it features agile steering and some of the best brakes in its class. However, all of these positives can be found in the 2024 model, too, so when mixed with the advances in power, the 2024 Trax shows why this next generation is so much more exciting.
When you show up to a social event, you don't want to feel embarrassed about your vehicle. Life can be hectic, but you want your ride to give you an extra boost of confidence. With the 2024 Chevy Trax, you'll be aweing onlookers with this crossover's sleek design, and you'll be able to choose from a range of trims to match your own unique personality.
The 2024 Trax's headlights give it a more intimidating look than expected on a crossover. Its narrow shape makes it look like it's glaring forward, letting other drivers know you mean business. If you go with the ACTIV trim, designed for those who like to travel over rougher terrains, this look becomes even more muscular. The RS trim is the best fit for those who want a sporty feel to their crossover. A benefit of a crossover is that it's still close enough in build to a sedan that it can feature some of a sedan's enviable sporty looks. The RS gives the front grille a slight shift in height to make the front resemble a sports car.
The 2022 Chevy Trax's exterior is nothing to sneeze at, either. A little more oval in shape, it has a friendly, welcoming look to it. Its front grille is less about impressing and more about a unique design; it's smaller than the average grille but still notably sharp. There are only two trims of the 2022 Chevy Trax, which unfortunately reduces your ability to customize it to your liking. No trim aims to be sportier or more muscular, leaving you stuck with its standard exterior. While the 2022 Trax is not an eyesore, it does not stand out other than for its welcoming demeanor. For some, that's more than enough. Others will want an exterior that has more to say for itself.
When passengers pile into your crossover, you want them to be comfortable, entertained, and engaged. Whether you have a growing family or are the designated carpooler at work, you want to provide all on board with an enjoyable ride. A great crossover SUV should offer the perfect combination of a spacious cabin enhanced with all the modern comfort features of a cutting-edge model. So, what are the differences between the newly-arrived 2024 Trax and its older 2022 model counterpart?
Great take and comfortable traveling define Chevy's approach to the 2024 Trax. This model has an 8-inch infotainment screen (you can increase that measurement to an available 11 inches on higher trims) that uses Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to link with your device. Comfort is king with an interior structure that has been completely redesigned.
Chevy's engineers made sure to give this Trax extra width and rear legroom for backseat passengers, offering 38.7 inches in the back. Plenty of crossovers are comfortable for the driver, but too few make certain back passengers are just as cozy. As with any crossover, cargo space is key, and the 2024 Trax comes with 54.1 cu.ft. of room when you put your rear seats down. This makes traveling easy if you're someone who regularly brings a lot of luggage or athletic gear with them during their travels.
You're also equipped with a stellar safety system courtesy of Chevy's Safety Assist suite. From Lane Departure Warning to Forward Collision Alert, the safety system will guide you when you're on the road. You also have the ability to brake automatically if the vehicle senses an immediate collision so that you do not have to rely solely on your instincts, thanks to its Automatic Emergency Braking. An aware driver is the best safety system, but Chevy Safety Assist undoubtedly adds another layer of confidence to your drive.
The exterior design of the 2022 Chevy Trax gives its interior a spacious feel, although it's definitely tighter than the 2024 Chevy Trax. The rear seats are especially tighter, losing a few inches of needed legroom. Cargo space is impacted, too, as the 2022 Trax has 48.4 cu.ft. of space with the seats down. That 6 cu.ft. of difference with the 2024 model can result in you having to make some hard decisions on what you want to bring into your 2022 model.
The interior tech has much in common with the 2024 Trax, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but its touchscreen is smaller, measuring 7 inches. The Chevy Safety Assist suite is installed, too, meaning that both Trax models will make you feel secure on the road. The overall interior feel is nice, no doubt, but it's clear that the year off resulted in a Trax model that is superior.
