2024 Chevrolet Trax LS

The 2024 Trax is Chevrolet's smallest SUV, slotting below the Equinox and offering a budget-friendly entry point to the crossover segment. It competes with subcompact crossovers like the Honda HR-V, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Kona, though it undercuts most of them on price. The ride is composed for the class, with light steering that makes it easy to maneuver in town, though the engine needs revs to keep pace on highways. Inside, the Trax offers a modern dashboard with a standard touchscreen and generous rear-seat space for its size, plus a surprisingly roomy cargo area. The LS is the Trax for buyers who want the lowest price and don't mind giving up the alloy wheels and upgraded trim of the LT. Its 1.2L I3 makes 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic to the front wheels, and it returns 30 mpg combined.
