Overview
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.
2022 Chevrolet Trax trim level differences
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). It's paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Selecting the all-wheel-drive system — optional for both trims — also replaces the rear drum brakes with disc brakes. Compare the 2022 Chevrolet Trax trim levels in-depth.
Which Trax trim does Edmunds recommend?
The LS trim offers a reasonable number of features, but we suggest stepping up to the LT trim with the Driver Confidence and LT Convenience packages, both of which are only available on the Trax LT.

Sporty and tons of fun to drive
5 out of 5 starsDonnie, 07/03/2020
2020 Chevrolet Trax LT 4dr SUV AWD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
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.
Very Impressive

2020 Chevrolet Trax LT 4dr SUV AWD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
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.

2020 Chevrolet Trax LT 4dr SUV AWD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
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.
great fit

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!
