2022 Chevrolet Trax Review

- Appealing passenger space for its size
- Plenty of features for the price
- Ride quality is choppy on the freeway
- Slow acceleration from the underpowered engine
- Less cargo space than some rivals
- Fuel economy falls short for the class
- New 1.4-liter turbocharged engine offers more power than before
- Flat-folding front passenger seat is no longer offered
- Part of the first Trax generation introduced for 2015
The 2022 Chevrolet Trax is an extra-small crossover SUV that's the smallest — but not the most affordable vehicle — in Chevrolet's lineup. The price advantage goes to the Chevrolet Trailblazer, which is also an extra-small SUV. It's also a lot newer and, well, better.
The Trax came out for the 2015 model year and hasn't gotten a full redesign since. This year's Trax does get an upgraded engine that makes 155 horsepower, which is a bit more than last year's 138 hp. Unfortunately, 155 hp still isn't a whole lot, even by the standards of this pint-sized class, and the Trax also suffers from a choppy ride and a lack of cargo space. Overall, we think you'll be better off with the Trailblazer or other solid picks such as the Hyundai Kona, Kia Soul or Mazda CX-30.
Which Trax does Edmunds recommend?
Chevrolet Trax models
The 2022 Chevrolet Trax is available in just two trim levels: LS and LT. For 2022, every Trax is powered by a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine (155 horsepower, 177 lb-ft).

Chevrolet Trax vs. the competition

2022 Chevrolet Trax

2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer
Chevrolet Trax vs. Chevrolet Trailblazer
The Chevrolet Trailblazer is the Trax's newer, much-improved sibling. It excels in just about every area where the Trax falls short, from ride quality to fuel economy to interior quality. The Trailblazer also offers more passenger and cargo space and more of the latest advanced driver aids. Skip the Trax and get the Trailblazer.
Chevrolet Trax vs. Mazda CX-30
The CX-30 is one of Edmunds' highly rated extra-small SUVs. It's comfortable and spacious, and the interior offers a premium aura that makes the CX-30 feel much more expensive than it is. Our biggest complaints are slightly invasive blind spots and only middling fuel economy for this class, though it's about on par with the Trax. Check out Edmunds' long-term road test of the Mazda CX-30.
Chevrolet Trax vs. Hyundai Kona
The Hyundai Kona is one of the least expensive vehicles on sale today, slightly undercutting the Trax's base price. It feels like a newer, more modern vehicle, especially after the Kona's refresh for 2022. Compared to the Trax, the Kona offers more space and better fuel economy. We also like the Hyundai's in-car tech and long warranty.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Chevrolet Trax?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
