2024 Chevrolet Trax RS: new video…
Last Updated:
I previously posted a video of the new Activ version of the 2024 Chevrolet Trax. Today we see the RS model. RS usually means “sporty” in the Chevy lingo. Except in the case of the new Trax, it just “looks slightly sporty. Since all Trax models share the same powertrain with 139HP. There won’t be much of a sporty feeling no matter what version you pick.
Which is just fine.
As you can see, the 2RS model featured in the video above starts at $25 000. It comes with 19-inch wheels, an 11-inch screen, heated seats and steering wheels, and more.
$25 000 is now comparable to the cheapest Honda Civic which starts at $25 800 (They dropped the LX for 2023). Or barely more than a smaller Nissan Kicks SR.
At a starting price of $21 500, the new Trax is one of the least expensive cars available in the US.
My 2017 Chevy Cruze RS hatch sticked for $23,900 when new (not that I paid that), had cloth interior, less space, smaller less useful touch screen etc. The Trax RS seems very well equipped for the price. And at least it has a regular 6 speed transmission instead of a CVT. That’s your “sporty” right there
The 2024 Trax comes with a 6 speed auto. Not a CVT.
I quite like the design, very nice proportions and the split lights face actually works quite well on this one. Lilke the interior a lot, one of the better designs from GM especially for a car in this price range. Makes the VW modern designs look quite bad
Too bad about they don’t have AWD and a transmission with more gears in this. they do have the 9-speed available but I guess everything was done to keep the entry price down? a mild hybrid and a double sunroof would have been ideal but would have pushed the price into the 30s
still, when car shopping in this price range, it would be rough to beat this tall hatchback..
Any all wheel drive options available with serious XM and onstar.
