I looked at all the competition and and the Chevy Trax beat them hands down. I purchased a 2020 Trax AWD LT and it has all the bells and whistles and comfort i expected. Getting in and out of it is easy. Has plenty of power to move in and out of traffic. Tons of storage and hidden compartments and that is with the back seat up. Fit and finish is excellent compared to the others. Only complaint is the gas mileage is a tad lower than expected, but since i only drive in the city that is to be expected. Will buy another one when i am in the market for a new car again. Hats off to Chevy for keeping the brand in my opinion the best on the market.

I'm 64 years old. I have been driving sense I was 9 years old. I Like Cars. I have owned well over a hundred used cars & trucks and about 20 new ones, I have owned just about every model GM made, Fords, Dodge, Chrysler's, Toyota's, Nissan,s, Kia's, VW's, and a Subaru just to name a few. Never put over 50,000 miles on any of them, (didn't keep them long enough). Well in 2014, I decided I wanted a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan, at that time the reviews on them were not that great, well it's been one of the best cars I've ever owned, I bought one with just 9,000 miles on it, it now has over 109,000, yes I finally put 100,000 miles on a car... My wife and I love the car that much, very comfortable, we can haul just about anything in it, 23 to 25 mpg. always, Strong V-6, use it to pull my 6 X 12 utility trailer, Just oil and filter changes, tires, and one set of brake pads at 70,000 miles, No break downs or any issues what so ever. I said all that to say this, I just purchased a 2020 Chevrolet Trax LS, AWD. with cruse & 16 inch aluminum wheel option. it was a demo with 2,500 miles. I paid $16,000. (FYI. The LS is the only model that does not have start stop technology, that is a very good thing in my opinion) I drove the car 150 miles from the dealership to my home and was more than impressed, critics call it choppy and under powered. This is absolute nonsense. I found the car to be very comfortable and had very adequate power even at 70 to 90 mph. and the car is very stable at these speeds. I would compare this to my 2013 KIA Sorento which cost $24,000 at the time. Of course only time will tell on the reliability, Sometime I think the critics are bias toward cool and trendy, All I can say is the critics were wrong about my 2013 Caravan and I'm fairly confident they are wrong about this one.

My wife and I went for a test drive and this vehicle is just fine with great value.We were curious about the power since that was the negative concern from the " pro review crowd", the power is just fine. I would say peppy in traffic and adequate on the hiway, if you want more go big. This is a subcompact SUV not a V- 8 powered SUV. Further more why would pay 3 to 5 K for competition, your choice. For me this vehicle is being underrated, we are buying one.

I'm a bigger guy, so I don't fit well in smaller vehicles. Don't let this one fool you, it is roomy, comfortable and fun!

This is my second TraxI bought a 2015 LTZ AWD in March 2015 and drove it for 60k with no major issues and recently traded it for 2020 Premier AWD. Love the price and value....a featured packed sub-compact SUV with great style and excellent driving performance. I totally disagree with the review of the “pep” and ride.....totally disagree!

Decided to go small SUV this time. Looked around pretty well and decided on the TRAX. Bought the LT option with the LT convenience group with AWD. To my surprise, what a great little car! Pleasant of feature, nice ride and comfy. Not to mention great fuel economy, am averaging 36 mpg back and forth to work. Most review underrate this car. It's worth taking a serious look at.

Update: I now have over 30,000 trouble-free miles and averaging 32.7mpg now that the engine's broken-in. Trax scored well on 2022 IIHS updated side impact testing. People buy different cars for different reasons. The Trax cannot be all things to all people, it is a small budget car plain and simple just as GM planned. You want more features? Buy a Buick Encore. Want more passenger and cargo room? Buy a Trailblazer or Equinox. For me, I wanted a small AWD SUV for commuting but one that offered me the most amount of space for my large frame (to put it politely). After going to the car show last year (right before COVID hit), I found the Trax to be the least claustrophobic within its class, so it made my short list. After a lengthy test drive, I ended up purchasing a 2020 leftover for close to $10k off MSRP (with many incentives) which made it a no-brainer. At that price, it's much easier to overlook the Trax's weaknesses. Yes, it's slow, it doesn't have a lot of cargo or passenger room and the interior is a sea of black plastic with some cheap bits, but all of these things are pretty much par for the course in this segment. There are quite a few nit-picky things I don’t like about the car myself, the worst being the lack of a center console (the arm rest sits too low for me), the tiny side mirrors and the too small sun visors. My favorite features are the Infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, keyless entry/start, remote start and how surprisingly quiet it is on the highway. With 5,700 miles on the odometer, I’m averaging 30.1 mpg with a split of about 60% highway, 40% city, not bad. The impressive safety scores will give me peace of mind when my daughter gets the car in 4-5 years. All told, the Trax’s strengths far outweigh its deficiencies for me.

Not Reliable

We have leased this car for eight months and randomly, after stopping at a red light, it would not move. Tried putting in reverse but the car shook violently. At first it was a perfect compact SUV for us but after this problem we are questioning its reliability.
