The new Chevy Trax is a subcompact SUV that rivals the biggest names in the automotive market. Delivering style, substance, and a host of standard features at an attractive price point, the new Trax is the perfect vehicle for first-time buyers. It also has a spot on Car and Driver’s Editor’s Choice List, as well as a top spot on their 10 Best Trucks, SUVs, and Vans for 2025. Keep reading to find out what makes the Trax stand out for first-time buyers and why it’s worth a test drive. more Fuel Efficiency and Power You Can Count On For a first vehicle, you don’t need the power of a supercharged V8 engine that will have you moving from zero to 60 mph in record time. What you need is a vehicle that responds to your every move with ease–a vehicle that is both predictable and easy to drive. A vehicle like the Trax. Equipped with a turbocharged 1.2-liter inline-three-cylinder engine, the Trax delivers a modest 137 horsepower. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, you’ll feel the refinement when shifting gears and the responsive handling with every turn. Behind the wheel, you’ll notice the easy communication with the brakes and steering components, ensuring every drive is both simple and satisfying. Capable of delivering an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, the Chevy Trax will get you where you need to go with fewer gas station stops. Staying Connected to Your Surroundings: The 2025 Chevy Trax Interior and Tech The highlight of the Chevy Trax for 2025 lies within its cabin. Or, rather, the cabin itself. Maximizing space is the name of the game for the Trax this year, and Chevy delivers a best-in-class rear-seat legroom of 38.7 inches, as well as 25.6 cubic feet of cargo space. Although the Trax is a subcompact vehicle, the interior space is more akin to that of a midsize SUV. The spaciousness of the interior is only enhanced by its technology. With an 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen, wireless charging, and built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, the Trax proves itself to be forward-thinking and refined. Safety and Affordability at its Finest For first-time buyers, safety is paramount. While some boast a suite of features at a high premium, the Trax proves that safety does not come at a cost–literally.
