​​Chevrolet Trax:​ Car and Driver 10Best Trucks for 2025

February 1st, 2025 by

The Chevrolet Trax continues to be one of the hottest vehicles in the U.S.A. In fact, it sold over 200,000 vehicles in 2024 – an 83% increase in sales from 2023! While the sales are good, did you know the Trax is considered one of the best SUVs to own? According to Car and Driver magazine, the Chevrolet Trax has made the 10Best Trucks list for 2025 for the second year in a row.

Here is what Car and Driver has to say upon naming the Trax on the 2025 10Best Trucks list: “While we love cars with outsize personalities and big power, we also celebrate any vehicle that nails its mission, and it’s especially noteworthy if the vehicle’s intended purpose is to provide basic transportation at an affordable, high-value price point. The Trax is that rarest of things, an inexpensive vehicle that delivers greatness and value with surprising style and grace.” 

As the magazine’s staff continues to work with a Trax Activ as a long-term test vehicle, they also stated that “[i]t has continued to delight our flinty-eyed staff.” 

All of these point to why the Trax not only made it on Car and Driver’s annual list but also on your shopping list.  

The story does not end there. The Trax is feature-rich, giving you more for less. From its 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen, you have access to standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot for optimal connectivity. You can also charge your devices wirelessly.

The Trax also punches above its weight. The 137-horsepower ECOTEC turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine is a very mighty power source that will accelerate and cruise with ease. The six-speed automatic transmission is matched perfectly with this strong engine. Plus, it can return a rated combined fuel economy figure of 30 MPG. 

If you are looking for space to transport the family, bring five of you inside the Trax with comfort for all. For those days when you’re hauling a lot home, you can fill up to 54.1 cubic feet of space right from the liftgate.  

Safety comes first on the Trax, as Chevy Safety Assist is standard. Features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, IntelliBeam auto high-beams, and a Follow Distance Indicator. A Rear-Vision Camera is also standard. Available safety features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Side Blind Zone Alert with Land Change Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Park Assist.
