Are you looking for a reliable subcompact SUV that will decrease driving costs and increase satisfaction? Look for a Chevy Trax for sale. It’s an excellent choice for a first vehicle, an entry-level SUV, or any driver who values practicality, durability, and affordability. But don’t let its smaller size fool you; there are still plenty of fun surprises to find both inside and out. The Chevy Trax comes in five trims. There are many excellent standard features available on all of the trims, which we’ll discuss later. Right now, let’s get to know what each Trax trim has to offer and what drivers might benefit the most from those features. 

The LS Trim

The LS trim is an excellent choice for drivers who want the benefits of a new car but want to keep costs low. With the standard Chevy Safety Assist features, including the innovative Teen Driver feature, it has a lot to offer new or younger drivers who want the most bang for their buck. With a silhouette that brings to mind a gentle wave, the LS trim comes in six exterior paint colors to accentuate the curves and poise of this stunner of a subcompact SUV. This trim comes standard with 17-inch steel wheels and black mirror caps. The wheels can be upgraded to 17-inch silver-painted aluminum for an extra touch of style. The interior has an available jet black and gray color scheme, with blue accents and cloth seat trim. 

The 1RS Trim

With a more aggressive front and rear fascia, the 1RS trim tends towards a bolder appearance with slight changes from the LT trim. It has six color options, including the Nitro Yellow Metallic. The RS Exterior package adds a black grille insert, black bowtie badges, and red RS badging in the front grille and rear of the vehicle. All-season blackwall tires come standard on the showy 18-inch black-painted machined aluminum wheels. High-gloss black mirror caps add a final touch of zest. The interior can be upgraded to a jet black and gray color scheme with red accents and cloth seat trim.

The LT Trim

Sitting in the exact middle of the price range, the LT trim is anything but average. Several upgrades are made to the exterior to create a bolder, more sophisticated look, including silver-painted front and rear lower fascias, and 17-inch aluminum wheels in painted gray. Signature LED running lamps illuminate if the vehicle is running but the headlamps are off, a feature that adds both to the style and overall safety of the vehicle. Roof rack cross rails are an available option. 

The interior has two available color schemes: jet black with yellow accents or jet black with blue accents. Both come with cloth/Evotex seat trim. The LT Convenience package adds several perks for winter climate, including heated front and passenger seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated power outside mirrors. It comes standard with a 6-speaker audio system that can be controlled with just the touch of a finger on the 11-inch HD color screen. The driver will receive up-to-the-moment data on the 8-inch driver information center. 

This trim is an excellent fit for drivers who need additional storage features like the roof rack. It has more technology and quality-of-life features than the previous two trims, but without adding a lot of additional cost. For drivers who are looking for the best amount of features for the price tag, this trim is the strongest contender. 

The ACTIV Trim

A more muscular body accentuates the ACTIV trim’s monochromatic color scheme, available in your choice of six shades including the trim exclusive Cacti Green. The grille continues the all-over scheme, contrasted with black badging. The interior also receives some excellent standard feature upgrades, especially for the driver. With an 8-way power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar seat controls, your trips will be more comfortable than ever. Your interior choices are Jet black with Artemis or yellow accents, both with Evotex seat trim. The ACTIV trim is an excellent choice for drivers who spend a lot of their time on the go. The comfort features elevate any drive, whether it’s to work or a weekend trip. If you’re a fan of muscular bodies, this trim has got you covered. 

The 2RS Trim

Tying with the ACTIV trim for the top of the price range, the 2RS has a sleek, sporty body style whose athleticism is punctuated with 19-inch aluminum wheels in machine-painted black. The black grille and trim-specific badging add a peppy twist. It has red interior accents and a heated, flat-bottom steering wheel to round out its unique features. The differences between the ACTIV and 2RS trim are cosmetic. If you turn your head at every sports car that crosses your path and dream of driving winding roads in a beautiful vehicle, the 2RS fits that bill perfectly. Who says beauty can’t have brains, too? The 2RS refuses to choose, embracing both sides.

Across the Trims

The Chevy Trax has many features that are present in all five trims. Every Trax has a 1.2L 3-cylinder engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It offers 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. The EPA-estimated mileage is 28 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. 

The Chevy Safety Assist suite is standard on the Trax, offering drivers a standard set of six features to maximize safety. Sensors and cameras monitor the road around you, sending alerts for imminent collisions, pedestrians, or obstacles in the way. If you don’t react to the alert quickly enough, the brakes will automatically deploy, or the Trax will make gentle steering corrections. IntelliBeam headlamps will operate automatically based on road conditions, weather, and speed. The Trax also has the Teen Driver technology, which has a set of features aimed at establishing good driving habits in your family’s youngest driver.
