2025 Chevrolet Trax Revealed – The Budget-Friendly SUV with a Premium Look!
Looking for a budget-friendly SUV that doesn’t scream cheap? The 2025 Chevrolet Trax might just be the answer. With its recent return to dealerships in a completely redesigned form, this second-generation Trax sheds its former toy-like appearance in favor of a more mature, upscale look that could easily be mistaken for a much more expensive vehicle.
But is the Trax all it appears to be? Priced at $21,495 plus a $1,095 destination fee, it’s the most affordable model in Chevrolet’s current lineup, even cheaper than the Trailblazer and Malibu. While it’s not the lowest-priced new car in the U.S., it certainly stands out for its mainstream appeal. The Trax is designed to fit in with Chevrolet’s other crossovers, featuring a rugged and handsome style. Standard on lower trims are 17-inch wheels, which increase to 18-inch black-painted alloys on the Activ trim and 19-inch on the sportier 2RS model.
However, the Trax does come with some compromises. Despite its SUV look, it’s front-wheel drive only, with no all-wheel drive option. If you need all-wheel drive, the 2025 Trailblazer LS is your cheapest choice, but it starts at $26,395. Fuel economy is another area where the Trax shows its limitations. Powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, the Trax is rated by the EPA for 28 miles per gallon in the city, 32 on the highway, and 30 combined. My city driving experience yielded about 26 miles per gallon.
Inside, the Trax’s cabin is surprisingly well-designed. The base trims offer a simple but functional setup with a 3.5-inch cluster display and an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen. Higher trims add more features, including an 8-inch digital driver display and an 11-inch infotainment screen. Standard across all models are wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though wireless charging requires the optional Sunroof package.
While some materials might not be premium, Chevrolet has done a commendable job of using shared parts from more expensive models, ensuring that key touchpoints feel sturdy and purposeful. The 2025 Chevrolet Trax might not be the most powerful or luxurious SUV, but for those on a budget, it offers a stylish, practical, and surprisingly well-equipped option.
