Hello i took my 2RS on a road trip to the beach and it played with the big dogs when it comes to power wow! be a good driver i love this car period. BLUE WAVE !!
Wouldn't it be a lot better with the old engine?
Love the blue glow metallic beautiful color
Enjoy! How's your mpg on your 2rs? Thanks
Just put $2000.00 down on my 24 Trax 2RS(black exterior with the evotex interior). Now just waiting for it to get here to Chicago. It's currently in Portland. First brand new vehicle I've ever purchased for personal use so it's pretty cool:)
Congrats
@@JayTeeRC Thank you, appreciate that:)
Hope all works out well! I ordered mine in Michigan, took almost 8 months to get it.
@@carlchapin8352 Geez, 8 months! I think things are getting a little better as far as supply and demand because mine should be here by the 22nd which would be less than a month from when I bought it. We'll see though
@@Grayback1973 I ordered my black activ first week of July they had to build the car, got it last month.
Absolutely love this car!
I just took delivery of a sterling gray metallic 2RS with driver confidence package and a sunroof. Love it so far. Not underpowered for city driving at all but could use a touch more power on the highway but it's definitely adequate. Can't complain because I'm averaging 32.5 mpg .
I got activ 5 days ago. Pure value for money feels like sitting in a expensive vehicle. I averaged 43mpg mixed on a first free full tank
I wish they would've kept the old engine with 155hp and 177lbs of torque.
Got mine a week ago ...love it ...more than that ...love filling my tank up for only 25.00 😂
@@buk6199 or made it awd
I've got a black trax activ, I don't even come close to 43 mpg. 33 mpg on the highway is the best I get.
My youngest daughter has the trailblazer, she's getting the same fuel economy as I am with the Trax.
I would say if you're getting 43 mpg gallon you've got a special one.
@@carlchapin8352 you gotta keep resetting the gauge every day you drive
I have a 2RS and i love it when you buy a car do your research and don't complain no car is perfect.
Enjoy! What's your mpg like? Thanks
I love it, that's definitely my next car, I'll take the nitro yellow.
I have a Mirage but Chevy is my first love. This Trax looks super nice!
Definitely an enjoyable review! AlthoughI finally got the Encore GX for my commuter cars, the trax was also in my bucket list. You know that the concept of designing of this vehicle is for the replacement of compact or middle sized sedan, so it means that they separate the market for the lower entry car by the Trax. The Trailblazer is for the upper entry market which is for someone who needs AWD and more features like premium audio option.
Thank you for this FANTASTIC review! I currently have a hold on an orange 2RS and have been watching hours of reviews. Yours is at the top of that list now. Thru my own research I found that the reason they are not offering AWD is due to taking a poll from former Trax owners and discovering the majority preferred FWD. Keep up the great work, I'm now a new subscriber!
Fwd is cheaper
Just bought my 2024 2RS trax and it's outstanding ❤😊
Whats your mpg like? Thanks
31 mpg
Just got mines 3 weeks ago, cacti green activ, I’m so in love with this car, best value imo. No complaints at all. Has a lot of get up and go.
It looks so high end. I can't believe the price. Good job GM.
Got mine a month ago! TY Jesus! Luv it and also my 2024 c8 ❤❤❤
It's so beautiful!
I enjoy your reviews. They are more rational and and down to earth where the vast majority of car buyers reside. You do not get derailed over an incandescent light or some glossy black plastic that seemingly are mostly issues for hard core enthusiasts who at times are irrational.
I went to the car show and was very impressed with this car
The thing I guess is knowing this car is a comfortable cruiser, not a sports car. Love the driving dynamics! I believe with the wide, squat body, helps hug the road. The light weight, might help not over stress that motor. In Europe, gives millions and millions of under 50 hp and 1.0 motors! In Japan, millions and millions of 660 cc. CARS! So, going in and getting one, maintenance and easy driving and realize with direct injection, and a Turbo to boot, warm it up and Cool it down. Maintenance will ALWAYS be essential and not to be ignored. 1.2 is not tiny, Go to Germany, Italy, France. They have 30 hp, two cylinder cars, in the millions. Italy, after WW. 2, France and East Germany were stuck with 26 hp cars, and whole families that was the family sedan!
We bought an LT. No regrets so far. Good review.
I have a 241RS that my wife drives and loves❤I just ordered a 252RS for me hers is white and I had to go with ⚫ BLACK😂
Just picked up my Activ from local Chevy dealer. With all available options, it’s a great vehicle. Love the looks. I’m now owning a brand new car instead of of buying a used one for the same price .
Great for trips, errands, etc.
I have the 2RS in Cacti Green on deposit. Waiting for Project Locate to find it. I may have by Saturday! I'm beyind excited! Fell in love with it at the auto show in February. Did my research and found a sweet deal. Can't wait to put my WENCHIE license plates on my new baby!
Great review! Very informative. I’m looking forward to text driving one😊
Figures,I got into a equinox when there was a so call chip shortage. No leases at that time so now I'm in a 72mnth payment plan
1rs is the way to go imo. The slight upgrades between the two don’t really justify the $4500 difference. To each their own obviously
GM didn't offer AWD on the Chevy Trax or the Buick Invista to keep the price point low. If you are worried about snow, put on some good snow tires or move south. 😎
If you run snow tires all year round, then they won't last very long. If you have summer tires and winter tires, then that's another complete set of tires and wheels that you have to buy...and swap...and store.
@@OddTimeManthat's what the majority of people who live in snowy areas do, though. It's not abnormal. I have a Subaru AWD and I still have to swap to my studded winter tires in the winter or I wouldn't be able to drive to work. AWD on its own is not enough - tires are far more important
And I also got the sunroof/moonroof option!
Great review!
That silver one like ya got there really looks sharp.
AWD can be a nice addition, but I've lived in the Buffalo, NY area all my life and driven plenty of rear wheel drive and front wheel drive vehicles in all sorts of winter conditions. Many of those years I've drive them without snow tires just fine. I'm not talking about six inches of snow either, but I've driven those in over two feet of snow. Back then it was the norm.
I'm currently thinking of a Trax too, and I'd be trading in a AWD '23 Ford.
They way interest rates are, and vehicles I might get it. I’ve had the 2018 trax gave me no problems either.
Front wheel drive and a good set of tires is all you need for bad weather for most of the bad weather if it's that bad it doesn't matter how many wheels are turning it's a no go
Yep, FWD with dedicated SNOW TIRES are a far more capable than AWD with all seasons... And driving in Canada for 30 years I've never felt the need for AWD.
@@StreetPreacherr If you run snow tires all year round, then they won't last very long. If you have summer tires and winter tires, then that's another complete set of tires and wheels that you have to buy...and swap...and store.
I live in the countryside on a dirt road. AWD most definitely does better in the snow, ice, and mud...especially when going uphill.
I plan on putting Michelin CrossClimate 2's on my LT once I wear out these OEM Hankook's.
I currently have a 2015 Trax LTZ with FWD only. I've never owned an AWD vehicle, and I feel it can be overrated. I live in the Northeast here in Jersey with our fair share of snow in the winter. If you know how to drive in those elements, you would be just fine with FWD and probably get better gas mileage. I will wait to see the new Buick Envista as well before making my new car decision. Envista and the Trax are basically the same car with some natural styling differences.
I watched a review on the new Envista and agree with you 100% on trying to decide between that and this 2RS Trax! The new Buick is very enticing!
Got this exact car with the sunroof. Really loaded for the money it didnt feel underpowered at all was my initial concern. Great ride, brakes great. Main complaint is steering wheel buttons are basic. Can only go to presets not seek stations. Very good interior room
Try pressing and holding
There's four buttons on the back side of the steering, two on the left, two on the right, use your fingers to operate them.
These buttons do a lot. Get the owner's manual out of the glove box, look it over real good.
A car with this many options an not to use them would be a shame, use them you paid for it. Hate to have the car for 5 years and find out you didn't use it to its full potential, that would kind of suck..!
I'm a proud owner of a 2024 black trax activ with every option but the sunroof, cordless phone charger, so far great car!
@@carlchapin8352 thanks ya I should look over. Have had great luck with ours so far
Enjoy! What's your MPG like? Thanks
@@Djr0ss I’m getting 28-30 in town 34 hwy. It is a fairly large and heavy car for class. Pretty satisfied on the mileage
Great car for 2024 . I am going to recommend some inflation to start updating 😍
Good lawd, that's beautiful!
Nice! But that size crossover should've been equipped with a 2.0T that is in the Malibu? That little 1.2 high compression drivetrain won't last with the type of driving now a days. Complete wear and strain especially in warm temperatures.
Several 2021 Chevy trailblazers with the same 1.2 L turbo motor with 70,000 100,000 mile no problems, still going strong!
Go look at the used market.
How did you get to the gauge face menu on the cluster?
Press the right hand steering wheel button and rock it up and down.
Why the higher trims dont have wireless charging? I just purchased 2RS Trax. Just waiting it's in transit on delivery to the dealer
I don't think any trim levels come STANDARD with wireless charging... It looks like Wireless Charging is bundled with the SUNROOF 'package' for some reason. And I think the Sunroof is an Optional Extra on all models.
Out of all of the reviews you are the best BRAVO you give us facts not i don't like this people remember if i don't like this don't buy it.
Waiting on My New 2024 1RS Trax Arriving next week cant wait!
How long ago did you place the order? Where in North America are you located?........
You can and will.
could you tell us how your experience with it has been?
I definitely agree about AWD. I have an Equinox & would absolutely trade it in for a Trax if it had AWD.
By being only FWD you get flat back seat floor! There is a video showing that it is peetty good 0ffroad. not sure about snow.
@@KenSwiatek I realize AWD isn’t the end all be all, but I’m in the US North East, so I’d still prefer to have it.
Got a 2RS in light blue
It’s a bigger car than you’d think. Tons of room. Sits up pretty and has a lot of ground clearance
Buying one of these this week. I'm glad to see this review. I don't want an awd vehicle eventhough I live in Canada, good winter tires make the difference.
If you run snow tires all year round, then they won't last very long. If you have summer tires and winter tires, then that's another complete set of tires and wheels that you have to buy...and swap...and store.
I assume this vehicle will be popular in Rental fleets
Does the front passenger seat fold flat?
No. You'll have to upgrade to the trailblazer for that feature.
I live in Minnesota and front wheel drive is just fine .
I bought a 2014 sonic for my Minnesota daily work commute. Does great! I think I may upgrade to the Trax though, sharp looking.
FWD/WINTER tires > AWD/ALL SEASONS!
@@StreetPreacherr If you run snow tires all year round, then they won't last very long. If you have summer tires and winter tires, then that's another complete set of tires and wheels that you have to buy...and swap...and store.
I ordered a yellow 2RS! Now I wait. 😄
If your in America probably 1-3 mos wait time and if you live in Canada probably 4-6 mos wait time.......
I am in the same boat waiting on an orange 2RS.
Did you get your yellow Chevy?
@@michellescaturro1581did you get your Chevy Trax?
@@carlchapin8352 Yes I did. LOVE IT!
Whe the hell? I was just at that exact dealership looking for a Trax, I guess they are still in transit till August 2 there. I actually looked at the Trailblazer there from 2021 and thought it would be perfect if it had leather and a sunroof. Anyone buy a car from Herb Chambers before?
Is this close to toyota Rav4?
Man everyone is praising this thing Chevy might have stumbled on to a real winner I will be checking it out.
I think they did
I thought I could finally get rid of my slow Outlander Sport, but the 3 cylinder, engine won't do it for me,sad to say it ,I really love the looks😢
Great review! I think the reason there is no AWD is because Chevy wants you to upgrade and just buy the Trailblazer. Some drivers this want an affordable commuter vehicle without all the top bells and whistles.
Good winter tires solve the need for AWD..........
and AWD is 'overrated' anyway. I've live in Canada and have NEVER felt that I needed AWD as opposed to just FWD. And as he points out, the lack of AWD also means it can have a FLAT FLOOR, making it much more comfortable for rear middle passengers!

Now!!! This is the only vehicle I can get it!
This is a good little SUV what would have maid it a Great little SUV put the 1.3 liter 3 cylinder in it instead of the 1.2 and have a power lift gate on the upper trim level !!!!
I love the look of this Trax! If it were AWD I would definitely order one. Need AWD in winter in Iowa. Looks great in this silver.
I really want this car ❤️
Put a deposit down sooner than later, GM is overwhelmed with demand for this vehicle.......
Hopefully Chevy got their reliability under control with a turbo 3.
I received this new car 29th of August. And the engine suddenly exploded on 10th of Sep during driving without crash. I hope others have not the same problem.
🇺🇸🤝🇰🇷
잘보고 갑니다 🙂 👍
Okay so I'm confused which one is smaller this or the trailblazer?
Trailblazer smaller
@@JayTeeRC but cost more ....👎🤔
@@jermainec2462 yep
@@jermainec2462yeah the trailblazer is slightly smaller, but has a slightly more powerful engine, comes in AWD, has some more features and comfort (not ALL plastic like the Trax), comes with a power lift trunk, etc)
@Mehpew im sure a redesign is coming soon tho ...
does it feel like your are driving a car or a truck?
Reviews suggest the driving position is is a bit 'lower' making it feel more 'car like' to drive...
I have one and it's very comparable to a Chevy Impala or Malibu from the driver position and it handles similarly to those.
The back looks like if your eyes were alot farther than they supposed to be lol
I really like him .
Always have liked him a lot.
Rear ac vents?
Nope, some trim levlks offer rear USB charging ports, but none have rear vents...
There are rear vents they're under the front seats.
Obviously you can't adjust them, but they're there to blow cool or hot air in the rear part of the cabin.
I guess AWD would be good up north but where I am it isn't needed.
I’m from Michigan and it’s not needed. People just need to learn to drive. FWD is sufficient
@@debraramey1291 Agreed, I'm even a bit further North in Ontario, and in 30 years I've NEVER felt I would have been any better off with AWD rather than FWD. The BIGGEST winter driving improvement I've ever experienced is switching to DEDICATED SNOW tires instead of using tock 'All Season' rubber all year. You're probably better off with FWD on Snow Tires than AWD on standard stock 'All Season' treads. ;) FWD also means they can offer a nice FLAT floor so people can actually make use of the rear CENTER seating position!
@@debraramey1291 I live in the countryside on a dirt road. AWD most definitely does better in the snow, ice, and mud...especially when going uphill.
@@OddTimeManunderstandable to get awd, I have 2 suvs 1 awd and the other fwd. I personally never needed the awd besides getting out of a friends driveway but in some areas awd is a huge bonus.
It has ventilated seats and a power liftgate in Korea, GM cheaps out again.
Ya I just bought one I had seen they had that. Not a big issue but is a stupid thing to cheap out on for American market. And no power seat for 2rs only active. Myself no big deal but again basics in American market
@@weekendwarrior556It should bother you. A near base level Honda civic had a power seat. EVERY car should have that nowadays. I just bought a 2020 ILX for 23,000 with 12,000 miles which is nearly fully loaded in its premium trim.
It's just a smaller Blazer
For over $10K less!
2024 CHEVY TRAX
SUB-COMPACT
OF THE YEAR
💯💯💯
Not sure why they couldn't go with a 4 cyl and a little more hp. Only thing I dislike is the bench seat in the back and the rear lights looking like bug eyes
You really dont need AWD for most scenarios. Geta crosstrek for that. But i have a corsstrek base model and it is god awful at everything. from acceleration to being a smooth ride (it is not). It's CVT is pure garbage. Im trading mine in for an Activ Trim Trax.
Did you say 5’5” and bragging about the back seat room? I was waiting for you to say you were average height. Great review.
Easy to brag when there’s no disputing the 38.7 inches of legroom for the Trax. Regardless of whether you’re my height or taller, that’s legroom not typically seen in subcompact crossovers and outclasses most of its rivals.
Very nice review and very friendly person but sorry Chevy in not consideration to buy as a Crossover SUV 😊
I’m sure you not buying one is absolutely going to bankrupt Chevrolet
It seems more like a bloated hatchback anyway...
LED Headlights are too bright even on dim and in my opinion the only lights on a vehicle should be limited to the back up lights only.
I like the fact that there is no molding on the exterior doors... All the other 2024 Trax reviews I have seen have this god awful molding on the bottom. Is this a different version? Nevermind.. I really had to take a closer look to see it. I think I'll go for the 2024 Trailblazer instead lol
Why put a three cylinder in such a nice redesigned car? I’m sure people would pay an extra grand or two for more power.
But does the intended market NEED more power? With 162 lb-ft of Torque it has 30 more than a base 2.0L 4Cyl Mazda 3, which should make it feel relatively 'peppy'. You might be sacrificing top speed, but just don't take it to the drag strip...
Why are people so intent on speeding on the roads? It’s annoying
It's absolutely fine as a daily commuter. But don't race Vin Diesel..
way better, but they should have dropped the trax name
They basically took the Terrain and shaved down the hatch, put a smaller engine and smaller tires on it and then killed off the Terrain and original Trax
I have seen a 2024 in person. You CANNOT fit a 3rd person in the back despite the seatbelt for one. In all honesty if you have 3 small(very skinny) children with no carseats then it is a slim possibility for them all to be smooshed together. The 2023 trailblazers give you 5 more inches width on the back seat than the trax.
No cvt 😢
Is this a happy or sad emoji? I know people buying this BECAUSE it's one of the few options in this range that DOESN'T have an 'annoying' CVT...
@@StreetPreacherr I like cvt’s
Automatic transmissions with real steel gears are WAY better than CVT transmissions with rubberbands.
Too bad it doesn't have a 2L straight four naturally aspirated engine.
Good looking except for the narrow tires. They look smaller than 235s
245x19
@@chrisiden1 perfect, such a slick side profile and should be slippery through the wind but still kept a decent tire width
Sorry but, if i have 30k to spend on a nice looking and reliable small SUV Crossover.....i'm looking at a Toyota Cross or a Subaru Crosstreck... Not the Chevy Trax. In my opinion if they want to compete they'll have to bring the price down to about 20k.
The entry price for the Trax is $20,400. Even the 2RS we had in this video is under $30k. Not only are they competing but Chevy is well on their way to having the best selling subcompact crossover in the US by the end of the year.
I like everything but the taillights 😣
Interesting, My first thought was the rear lights look like the recent LEXUS 'crossovers'... Figured it could be worse than looking similar to something twice the price!
20:15
Nope, don't need it.
Get a Tucson.
Or a CX50
You short guys have no problem with the seats but men over 6'2" (me) find the seat too narrow, too short and not enough seat travel to consider this a vehicle of choice.
23:20 "Premium and $25K have never been used in the same sentence before..." Pfft, I bought my Corvette for $25K back in the day, its only thanks to bidenflation that $25K doesn't sound like much, lol!
Umm… okay
How much are time machine tickets?
Problaby voted for Biden too!
Smfh
Stretch before that reach, snowflake?
And every pos chevy dealer is still trying to get $2k to $5k worth of trash added to the price. No joke a dealer just quoted me $34k out the door on a trax that msrp was $24k. Now there is $3k worth of tax and trash doc fee in there. But that is over $7k worth of lojack, tinted windows, ceramic coating, scotch guard and additional dealer profit tacked on. That same dealer is scheduled to have 47 of these trax hit the lot in the next 3 weeks......................and still want blood out of a turnip.
I’m calling BS on this. Either that, or you need to find another dealer. We just took delivery on a 2RS, with no extras.
@@JSmith-zr2ve post was close to a year ago. I ended up with a loaded active for $26900 + taxes. No add ons no doc fees. But thats what happens waiting 6 months from my post and over 70 trax hitting the lot
General motors screwed up again . Why put such a small engine in a brand new good looking vehicle GM will be bankrupt very soon so hold off in buying one
It is not official, but GM need to cut down the CO2 emission by law. Since they sells lots of V8 product, they had to make the average of CO2 lower. Japanese rivals doesn't sell similar volume of large V8 vehicles.
😂
Great design, but a three cylinder motor is not going to cut it!!! Costs cutting all done wrong!!! Take the previous 4 cylinder from the older hideously designed Trax and use it on this very good looking SUV and you have a winning recipe. Unfortunately, GM has cost cutting morons who don’t understand intelligent buyers. I hate to use such derogatory terms, but it’s too obvious to deny!!! GM should be attracting as many buyers at a time when newer technology will require buyers to be more sophisticated with their hard earned dollars. I would never purchase a three cylinder vehicle under any circumstances mainly due to the engine durability concern. GM scrap your crappy 3 banger and do the right thing and replace it with a decent 4 cylinder motor. Keep up with your moronic shenanigans and you will find yourself bankrupt again!!! I own two Chevy vehicles and I am sick and tired of such bologna!!!
It's not just Chevy...it's all the car makers. The government is pushing them to make more fuel efficient vehicles forcing them to go smaller on the engines. Before it's all over just about every vehicle will be a 3 cylinder...that or an EV. I agree that they should have stuck with a 4 cylinder engine. I think a majority are concerned about the long term reliability of the 3 cylinder engine. I love the new design of the Trax however having a tiny 3 cylinder engine and only getting 137 HP is pathetic. At least Ford is offering their 3 cylinder engine vehicles with a 1.5 liter and at least 180 HP.
@@davidroehr1672 The Torque numbers are decent for the 2024 Trax.......

I’ve owned 3 Chevy’s in my life .. only because my fraternity brother from college owns a chevy dealership.every one of those cars, I had to change or fix the transmission.. I will never buy a chevy again … I don’t care about the price .. my Toyota small pickup had 300,000 miles on it I move a 3,000 lb safe in that pickup the front wheels were practically off the ground .. not one problem with the trans or engine …I don’t care how you package it .. crap is crap .
9 seconds to 60 ....bull!
135 horse power , that is not fun to drive ...sounds like a sewing machine when pressed . Nice looking car though , but 135 horses ...no thanks.

Great var. 50% depreciation when you sign. $259 for 2 years with $10, 000 down. Enjoy it moonbats (Obiden voters)
Are you suggesting people will be able to buy one of these USED for ~$10k in a year or two??? If that's the case I'll set my alarm for 2025 and buy a couple!
Dealers will buy them and retail with a price of 80% of original MSRP. With your lack of knowledge, just keep the one you have.
