2024 Chevrolet Trax review // This one's a shocker. That price!
ฝัง

- This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2024 Chevrolet Trax subcompact suv. With a starting price of $24,530 CAD/$20,400 USD, the Chevrolet Trax is an affordable option. It’s not a powerhouse but it sure is a great daily driver with a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. This is a FWD model but with a good set of winter tires, you may be just fine without AWD.
The Chevrolet Trax has grown, it’s 11” longer and 2” wider than the previous model and has 7.3” of ground clearance. It comes standard with LED headlamps, body coloured door handles, hidden exhaust tips, 17” wheels, available 18” and 19” wheels and a compact spare tire.
Standard features on the new 2024 Chevrolet Trax include an 8” touchscreen, 3.5” driver display, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, manual heated cloth front seats, a 4-speaker audio system, active noise cancellation, a manual liftgate and Chevrolet Safety Assist.
In the US, heated front seats are not standard, but are available in both the LS and LT packages.
The 1RS Chevrolet Trax adds the heated steering wheel, the LT has cloth and Evotex seats which is leatherette, a 6-speaker audio system, 11” touchscreen and 8” driver display. The Activ and 2RS models add a power driver’s seat and Evotex upholstery. Available features include, a sunroof and a wireless charger.
The 2024 Chevrolet Trax does not offer extra features like ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a power passenger seat, driver seat memory or a power tailgate. However, the price reflects that and all of these features are not typical in the subcompact class. The Kia Seltos is the only model that offers all of these features.
Chevrolet Trax fuel economy is 8.3L/100 km, 28 MPG city and 7.4L/100 km, 32 MPG highway
Here’s the pricing for all the other trims available, Chevrolet Trax 1RS $26,030 CAD/$22,100 USD
Chevrolet Trax LT $28,930 CAD/$22,300 USD, Chevrolet Trax Activ $31,030 CAD/$23,900 USD and Chevrolet Trax 2RS $31,030 CAD/$23,900 USD.
The Chevrolet Trax Activ model has a more contemporary look with 18” black wheels, a black grille with chrome accents and Activ badging. The interior is comfortable, spacious and clean with black leatherette upholstery, yellow accents, a power driver’s seat, heated front seats a heated steering wheel, a 6-speaker audio system, the larger 11” touchscreen with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto and an 8” driver display.
The Chevrolet Trax is missing some features but the lower price point reflects that. It doesn’t offer a power tailgate, a power passenger seat, driver seat memory, ventilated front seats or heated rear seat. This is also a FWD model but with a good set of winter tires, you may find this is all you need.
This Chevrolet Trax is not a powerhouse but it’s a great city driver with a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque.

I'm a Canuck living in Changwon, Korea where these are made. There was a lot of rejoicing when we got the contract to build these here! The Trax saved a lot of jobs here! Now, they can hardly keep up with demand! Good for Chevy!
Unfortunately the Spark had to be sacrificed to make the Trax. Since Spark was a much cheaper vehicle, I still prefer the Spark.
@braetonwilson4296 Yes, that was also made here in Changwon. So when they agreed to kill that off, a lot of people here were worried about their jobs.
I edited my comment. I meant to write that I prefer the Spark, not the Trax. You could buy a Spark for $10,000 USD cheaper than the Trax. Shame that new vehicles have become so expensive.
GM will do its best to keep non North Americans employed.
@@brenthill3241 Profit above all else is the American way!
How all of us survived for decades without AWD in northern climates is one of those mysteries that may never be solved.
Right?! The advent of front wheel drive, maybe?
Exactly - how did we do it ? I remember my first car was a used ford fairmont and my wife spun out on the icy roads and the seat belt mechanism didn’t work and she got a black eye - and cheek and for weeks people were looking at me in a strange way - I am sure they thought I was beating my wife. I thought we were in heaven when we got out brand new 1988 Toyota Corolla with front wheel drive. Now all my cars are 4 wheel drive except my new Z 4 but that’s a summer car.
I did pretty fine with my 2002 buick century for 7 years and only has fwd.
@@Hallowsaw Our family had an ‘89 Century, fwd of course, and in Eastern Ontario Canada, it ploughed through some heavy snowfalls!
It's call DRIVING! Learn to do it and get your answer!
You guys should each receive the Order of Canada. Your reviews are always comprehensive, informative, and entertaining.
Love the way you two always go deep into who/what the vehicle is designed for and compare them to the comparable vehicles at a similar price. Too many reviews focus on what a vehicle is lacking without considering the price. Thanks
Thank you so much!
They are the best.
@@boricua4052🙏
I also enjoyed your video/review for a different reason. It's rare to see a married couple who actually enjoys each other's company - well done.
I love the way the base model looks but I would be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that turbo charged 3 cylinder engine will not see 100k miles, maybe 150k.
Honestly, they should have made a top end 6 cylinder and now you're talking. One of the greatest vehicles I ever owned was a '94 Dark Cherry Red S-10 manual transmission.
@@johnlozauskas778 I mean its a chevy, to get 150k miles you should be very happy. To expect any more is crazy, especially with an engine with ANY Turbo charger.
My 24-year-old daughter bought one in June. She has the base trim. I’ve driven it and am impressed with the 3 cylinder turbo, although I do worry about durability. I think it rides great, the back seat room is amazing, and it looks like a baby Blazer. Another concern I have is that twice it has failed to shift into drive and the dealer claims there’s nothing wrong with it. Obviously there is, but it’s an intermittent thing. She paid a smidge over 23000 for it (US dollars). As far as the lack of AWD, it’s not a priority. I’ve lived in heavy snow states all my life and never have had AWD. Never been stuck in 48 years of driving. Tires and intelligent driving matters. Great review as always.
The 1.4 litre turbo 4 cylinder engine the old Trax had, wasn't a great engine. I had one in a Cruze and I'll say it like this: the long block was actually decent, but it had some really bad parts bolted to it that could distroy the long block. It took a lot of maintenance to keep that car healthy(mostly chasing leaks fortunately for me). But I sold the car with 320k kms to a coworker for his daughter. It still runs perfectly fine, doesn't burn any appreciable amount of oil, the valve lifters are noisy but that doesn't threaten the drivability. I've discovered that there are worse engines out there(ie Ford 1 litre ecoboost, why soak rubber belts in oil?)
I don't think the fact it's a 3 cylinder is a durability concern, the turbo is my point of concern. It could be this new engine is good and will silence critics, I will watch this car with interest and hope your daughter has a good experience with hers.
To my point about turbochargers, my current vehicle is a Toyota hybrid with an Atkinson cycle engine(which is almost the inverse of turbocharging).
Biggest thing with any turbocharged engine is frequent oil changes. Normally I stick with every 5k miles or even 7.5k but with a turbo I would actually stick to the 3k interval. I would also have the coolant changed every 30k. Those engines are tiny and have to work hard, they need TLC if you want it to last.
@@ghenry85Trax has rubber belt
@@saiikik2727 Dry belt: bit of a bummer. They ussually last as long as they are supposed to.
Wet belt would be really bad.
You don't happen to know if it has a dry ir wet belt?
Wet belt
Just bought one. The build quality of this car is amazing. Interior fit and finish has really high standards
🤣
Hey buddy I hope you read this, how is the mileage on this car? And is it good for uber driving?
Thank you!
He is probably stranded somewhere by now. @@vijaysahni7666
Yup. People hate on KIA but Korea has really stepped up quality.
As always a top shelf review. The honda civic I purchased in 1994 had 125hp. I don't remember ever thinking it was a problem. I'm glad to see affordable options these days.
It is not a problem because of how light it is. This chevy trax is anything but light.
3100 pounds is pretty light these days even compact cars are around 3000
That was 30 years ago when those power numbers were normal for vast majority of vehicles. 125 hp does not cut it now.
@@janoycresnova9156 Or so you have been marketed to believe. Have you driven the Trax?
@@janoycresnova9156 I still have my mom's 1992 Ford Escort. 88 hp and it keeps up with insane Boston traffic just fine.
My 1982 Toyota Tercel had 62 horsepower. I survived. It also had non power steering. Best car I ever owned for 14 years.
I bought my 2RS in August, have 3,000 miles and love it! I average 30 MPG with a high of 38 mpg! I got the Crimson red ;)
I’m still waiting to get mine I’m glad to
See you like I can’t wait
Quick Correction: if I'm not mistaken, the power driverseat is available only on the Activ trim, not the 2RS or any other trim.
Great video guys! I got my LT Trax some months ago and I love it. I would totally recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, safe and nice looking car.
Working with cars in Quebec, the majority of people consider the AWD as good option also for braking during winter. They don't understand that AWD is for traction and braking depend of well maintained brake system and good winter tires.
Yep and driving 90% of time in city, one doesn't need AWD at all. FWD is sufficient for city driving.
I just bought my wife a silver-gray LS 1rs. We love it.
This was such a great review. You guys obviously work so hard to put out awesome videos and never seem to fail to achieve it. Thank you for this excellent channel!
Wow, thanks for this
Thank you very much for the kind words. Glad you are enjoying the channel.
this video is the best informational video on a car I have found on TH-cam, appreciate the honesty!
Thanks so much for this honest review! Just picked this up for my daughter yesterday…LT model. You can’t beat the price and the tech! I first drove the 2023 trailblazer (2024 I’m sure is better but more expensive) and I liked the Trax much better…the cabin was much quieter. Very sporty & great value!!!
That's so great, congratulations, I think your daughter is really going to enjoy it.
@@andreaspencer9813 Thanks! They took it for a little drive up in the Adirondacks today. Looking forward to hearing how they liked it. Thanks again your posts are so entertaining! Love your chemistry!!! 😂😍
@luvtechLynn That sounds like fun. And thank you, glad you are enjoying the reviews 👌
I appreciate your videos. Excellent analysis.
Bought mine an 2Rs in August and it is fantastic, already took it on two long travels and performed beautifully.
What grade fuel you running ?
Any problems yet? I am interested in this vehicle.
Andrea and Zach, I love you guys! Your reviews are so wonderful. You’re always so objective in your reviews; you always focus on the positive of every car you test. I think that is great. Too many pseudo-novice reviewers focus on all the negative because they think it makes them sound profound and it actually just makes them sound stupid and inexperienced. I love the looks of this new Trax, it’s all grown up, sporty as ever; I love it. The value per dollar is UNBELIEVABLE, EVERYTHING YOU GET FOR $24,0000., especially in this day and age where auto manufacturers are practically raping customers with sticker prices so inflated on EVERYTHING, it’s a wonder anyone can afford to a buy any new car at all! I actually love the looks of this Trax so much, I went to test drive one yesterday. I was shocked when I stepped on the accelerator pedal of this tiny 1.2 liter turbo 3 cylinder; WOWWW! It was quick; so torquey and punchy. This little 1.2 liter 3 cylinder turbo engine packs a punch. I had a blast driving it. I was also impressed with how roomy it was, 38.9 inches of rear leg room; great cargo capacity. This new Trax has grown so much larger opposed to the last generation, this new Trax looks like a midsize SUV, in comparison. Chevrolet really knocked this one right out of the park ! Great review , Andrea and Zach. I always look forward to your great reviews; excellent job, as always ! Best-Tim
Outstanding review (as usual). Love the winter tire suggestion with FWD, and the fact you both live in Canada and can attest to that is key.
Have 2 Trax (Activ and 2RS) for me and my wife - pretty nice SUV for city! 👍
Saw my first one in WHITE the other day and to be honest kind of fell in love , thanks for a great review !
You've knocked another one out of the park. Excellent review.
A good set of winter tyres + fwd > all seasons + awd
In winter, ability to stop is super crucial
Yep and winter tires + awd is even better
Every car has four wheel braking, or all wheel braking if you will.
I drive in snow with all seasons and RWD! Just gotta know what the h you doing
4WD or AWD does not help with braking.
"I live in Florida, it never snows. I need 10 inches of ground clearance, AWD and 400hp" This is what most people sound like LOL!
You guys do a great job with your reviews. I recently bought this car 2RS trim. I love it. Like you said for the price and technology you get The car is great looking too. Continue the great work. Zac you’re a lucky guy too.
Good looking car, nice interior and love that is has a 6-speed automatic instead of a CVT. I just hope that the durability and reliability holds up 🤫. Another great review guys!! 👍👍
It’s GM … quality/reliability? Ha! … run away!!
@@thomobrien1854what do you recommend for similar price and vehicle type without CVT?
@@LicPlate8VPL158 Mazda CX30 GX … base model with 2.5 litre (190 hp) Awd and five year unlimited mileage warranty (in Canada) … these are listed for around $29 k CDN … and they won’t be back at the dealership every month for issues!
@@thomobrien1854 thanks! I ended up researching Mazda and I decided to go for the CX 5 instead of the 30! Thank you!
when i went to test drive this car, there were more used cars than new. So i asked why i was being shown only used cars to test drive and the reply was "The car is in huge demand". So immediately my next question was "then why you have so many used?",
So the salesman replied "People wanted bigger car". So that made me think for a moment and i asked for a test drive on freeway or a bigger road, and trust me when i say this...at 60 MPH this car screams for help.
Just found your channel. You guys do a great job.
That looks like a great car, I know you had to mention it, but I can remember when cars rarely had armrests in the back
I live in New England, I was driving 2017 Chevy Sonic before i got the Trax. I put a really good pair of continental tires on it and never had a issue in the snow once i did that. It was handling just as good as my parents AWD encore.
I went with my mother in law to look at cars. I suggested this. Drove it and she bought it. The mid level trims are very affordable. I can see this being a big hit.
Thanks for supporting South Korea
@@s-man3684forward that reply to GM. Or the thousands that are buying Hyundai/Kias. Or all the other automakers importing their cars from outside Canada/US. Outside of those 2 countries they’re all the same to me.

@@mozeby1975 GM took $billions from our government and China
Nice job on the video. Great car!
This is a very stylish looking car in white and well equipped. Agree, a very good city runaround 🎉
Perfect city run around!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU ❤❤
EXCELLENT review! You guys hit the nail on the head; this is the perfect starter vehicle or for those coming out of a sedan (2wd) & want a bit more space. The key here is what you are getting for the price point and you are getting a lot! Proof is how fast these are selling, both in the US & Canada. "Well done Chevrolet"!
Related - enjoy your VW GTI!! We have a 2022 VW GTI Autobahn - it is an amazing vehicle!! Agree w/ Zack though, it sorely needs a volume KNOB instead of the capacitive touch slider...
Can't wait for the GTI, still not built yet...
Thank you for all the good work and info❤
Was looking at this vs the Soul. Ended up with the Soul based on a price break and the warranty. The Soul is also shorter so it's a bit better to park in the city. But I was impressed with Chevy's effort here.
You two give great and thorough reviews. 7:32
Stress tested mine going to lake arrowhead. Handled the mountain climb good. Wasn't disappointed.
Love the fact that they haven’t changed the price much for the top trim! I have a 2017 Trax Premier and paid $32k. If it wasn’t for a growing family, I would purchase this in a heart beat.
U pay to much ,should sell about 12,000 dollars?
Standard Wireless charging, standard LED lights, functional, and good looking. Many people are stuck and cannot afford 40-80K for a new ride. I think many Canadians will buy these.
Chevy's new advertising campaign: Not a Hot Turd! 😂
That would work!
I have one about two weeks ago and I love it
Active noise cancelation is nice add. European Explorer ST had this. Like noise canceling headphones
I bought this Vehicle April 20 th. I love it great job Chevrolet
Other reviewers always talk about the arm rests and console padding being missing, it's just hard plastic. I can't think of any other car that has no padding there at all. Maybe Amazon will sell padding for these points. Other than that, great value for the money.
Bought one for my wife and I have driven it as well, I am 6'4 and I enjoy driving it. I am thinking of getting one as a commuter as well, if one becomes available.
Great review; 13:25 - 14:15, right on about AWD.
This car is made in my hometown, its great to hear that its a quality product
You don’t have a very Korean name 😂
I've been living in Changwon for about 20 years now. The Trax saved a lot of jobs around here!
@@halifaxstar Its made in SLP, Mexico for North America and Europe, I can confirm that is made with quality and some of the best employees in the city, here we also make some Buick and lots of BMW. There are other cities that make even more cars from different brands, like Aguascalientes or Silao. Mexican labor is actually very good at making cars. The Korean production is mostly for the Asian Market, only spare parts are sent here every once in a while when we cant produce when there are Strikes in the USA
@@brunoandremonjarasvera8686they haven’t been built in Trax for a couple years now. They’re produced in Korea now alongside the Trailblazer.
@@halifaxstar I think you're right, its been long that I have not been there and time went by so fast. Now they make Chevrolet Equinox, Onix, Trax and GMC Terrain, apparently. How did you know all of this? from your YT name I assume you're Canadian. Saludos desde Mexico
The Crimson Metallic colour option looks great on this car 👍
I learned to drive in the 80s interest rates were high real estate had crashed and we had a prime minister named Trudeau. Everyone drove front wheel drive compact cars that’s all we could afford! I leaned to drive with my moms 69 HP civic. 4 speed manual and man was it fun!
You guys nailed it - the Trax is modern-day hatch at a decent price.
Yes, but will it turn into a pile of junk within five years? That’s the question that really concerns me.
@@alexvaliansky7707 boomer thinking from decades ago
@@srobeck77Not entirely a fair comment. I have friends with gm products that have had catastrophic engine failures due to head gaskets and other issues within 8 yrs and less than 170,000 kms. Same with my Hyundai buddies.
I have only just started seeing your videos…, finally someone that doesn’t expect so much for the budget friendly cars like the other car reviewers just blast the automaker for using cheaper components
What a great video honest review ❤
Well done!
My 22 yr old son just drove mine for the first time, and one of his comments was that it was "weird" because every time he looked at the speedometer he was going a lot faster than he thought because it was so quiet, lol.
Compared to a Corolla Cross, this is the vehicle to get. Toyota dealers will charge you way above MSRP if you can even find one. While the Toyota may be better, the back seat room is a joke and you'll be dealing with markups. Toyota dealerships have become the scum of the earth. I tried to buy a Sienna and couldn't believe what these dealers are doing. I don't care how "good" their vehicles are, I won't do business with criminals. What a crappy time we're living in that you feel like you got a good deal paying MSRP. This whole dealership model needs to die.
This post is totally right, victims of their success Toyota is becoming. Everything they sell its like Jeep markups. If we boycott them for awhile maybe they will give 8000$ in incentives like Jeep just did.
Yep, Corolla sedans actually 3 inches more rear legroom than Corolla Cross.
I wanted the corolla cross, but that CVT... Nope. I sacrificed horsepower, but I got a real transmission when I got my Trax.
I've always said that about GM. They get knocked for the same thing Toyota gets praised for and they are just as reliable. It's almost ridiculous how much journalist like to rag on GM and they are great vehicles
I like how GM has finally learned its lesson about 'badge engineering' and just putting a different symbol on the same vehicle. If I hadn't learned the Envista was the Buick version, I really wouldn't have known. The could have saved themselves all kinds of competition had they learned this 30 years ago
The vehicles you mentioned were designed in South Korea. The mindset is very different than 30 years ago. The old men would have totally laughed at the idea that their company could have been run by a woman and the vehicles would be made in Asia for import into North America.
@@michaels3003 Vehicles made overseas and imported as American brands aren't a new concept. They were doing that in the 80s and 90s. The entire Geo brand was Japanese cars rebranded by GM and Chrysler sold rebadged Mitsubishis. Those scenarios made sense because they were taking well-engineered Japanese cars and putting American badges on them. Now GM is taking crappy Daewoos and rebadging them as GMs.
@@michaels3003 the current Chevrolet Seeker (Trax) and Envista have been on sale in China for a couple years. They are also designed and built in china 🇨🇳. They just assemble the North American markets vehicles in South Korea to avoid tariffs. If you really want a Buick made in china the Envision is exclusively assembled by SAIC- GM in Yantai.
I love this car! My husband is going to see what he can do to get his crazy old wife, haha, one of these!
0:36 The base trim comes with analog gauges .. not a digital one.
Hello Andrea & Zach 👋😊
Which winter tires would you recommend for the Hyundai Elantra, Accent, and (ie) AWD SUV?
You people are also demonstrating the best music to listen to while driving this beauty!
For anyone concerned about the 3 cylinder engine I’m here to tell you it’s better then you think. My wife’s 3 cylinder Buick Encore GX surprises me every time I drive it. Its perfectly adequate. It’s not fun or sporty or impressive in anyway, but it’s completely fine. Its got plenty of torque to get you up to highway speeds in a hurry and for passing. I thought I would hate it but we end up driving it more often them my 2.0 litre Terrain Denali
Long term is questionable...
Yeah I wonder what that engine will be like at 200k. The rest of the vehicle looks nice.
@@timcoleman3421I don’t expect it to hold up at 200K. I doubt we’ll own it for that long to find out anyway. We usually trade our vehicles in every four to five years
I REALLY wish they allowed us to add several options on top of the trim prices: HD surround vision, Front ventilated seats, Bose sound system. Thkse are a staple to GM and i reslly wished they allowed us to add those options
You guys are soooooo good. Luv the vids, keep on rocking👍🏻👍🏻
Hi. Love your car reviews! Have been a great help to me. But there is one thing I love more. Andrea, I love your boot outfits!! Looks like you are wearing white knee high boots under your jeans, here. Can you give a girl some advice on how to do the knee high boots under jeans look? Thanks so much, and keep on with your videos.
This costs less than my Harley Davidson Highway King I just bought!.. wow.. would Like to see more value buys come out, grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, who needs all the crap they put in cars today, look where your going, turn the knob for air and heat, good to go.. more manuals please ! Lol
It looks really good
Gotta love the plastic parts on the sway bar links.
What are good winter tires??? THANKS
You can manual shift, there's a button on the side of the automatic shifter knob, you can shift up and down through the gears.
Andrea is tired of the 3-cylinder slander 😂
Wait wait you all live in Vancouver?! Ok im subbing. Maybe ill run into you!
I just ordered a 2025 2RS Trax last week. Should be here in about 4 months.
Very Good Report, I never had four wheel drive all the years I worked and if I had to stay home for one or two days in the winter it wasn't worth getting a four wheel drive, I don't need four wheel drive to go to Walmart or C/T or Zehrs, why spend more money on a car?
Hello,
I do like this SUV looks sharp.
Would love to hear about this vs Hyundai Venue. Going to search that.
I got front wheel drive Elantra with good snow tires and it works fine.
Hi Andrea, how do you think this car will be for a new buyer. I feel it is a better bet than a sedan any day. What do you suggest for the chevy ownership is it an okay company just wondering from ownership and after sales service experience. Thank you!
Im so impressed with this model so much better than the previous generation, and what really gets me is that PRICE in the US the highest trim possible is $26k
try HRV base model for the same price, more HP, more space, more security features and better reliability. Every touch feels premium on a base mode. All u got to do is find a honest dealership who wouldnt force B.S fees on you. And if they do force it then politely explain to them that "tied selling" is illegal in the country and you want to buy without any stupid add-on. Worked for me.
@@ajayvpai this looks better inside and out and despite hp figures on paper multiple reviews have said it felt peppier than it should even saw them compare the two the this was slightly quicker and less loud
@Carfan678 Trax obviously looks more stylish and good, but it feels cheap and sluggish when you compare with the HRV. I was not particularly fond of how HRV looks.
So I did multiple test rides back and forth between the two and finally chose HRV as it feels premium and has more security features. Honda sense is more refined and reliable.
With dealer markups, it's 30k
Better options at that price point...
Hrv is ugly and has less features for the price
This is a great looking car.
I like the dimesnsion comparisions. Any way to add rear seat shoulder or hip room dimension? That would aid in comparing the width or rear bench among similar vehicles in terms of how much room there is for 2-3 passengers in the rear?
Got a 1RS for my 17 year old daughter, great vehicle
Andrea does the armrest seem to high for you??
Thanks.
Will you be doing 23 or 24 trailblazer?
Nice color
Love Classic Rewind Ch. 25 on Sirius XM!!!
They should offer a hybrid version. Modify the Volt transmission amd battery pack, detune the engine somewhat, it will be a Toyota competitor.
Hopefully this 3 cylinder engine has lessons learned from the troubled 1.4 litre 4 cylinder. 3 cylinders can be reliable, small tractors have seen successful 3 cylinder engines for decades.
If we have to compare trax with chevy trailblazer, Which to choose?
What trim is the one in the video?
I was in the market for a Blazer (or maybe an equinox) but holy cow, the price point on this is pretty crazy for what you get. I learned it is made in Korea and now it all makes sense…no UAW to contend with over there!
oooohhhh - gosh something like this might get me out of a sedan as it has the budget factor working for it. I agree FWD - height is more important than AWD - snow it is all about not being lifted up off the pavement - it should be just fine in my case - sedan in deep snow I get very worried AND when it gets to like -35 that darn snow turns into like a rock so you can easily have it dent the side running boards and fenders if you get out of the ruts (coming out of a lane, I could not figure out how to do the turn as the side cuts in - it was like rock sounds - off the ground makes all the difference in not being "concerned" and it still gets good mpg (height often works against that).
In regards to FWD versus AWD if you live in deep snow stick with AWD. I live in Alberta and for 5 years i drove a FWD Mini Cooper S. It is a chore some days to get from A to B with a FWD Car in winter even with good winter tires. I have driven Big Semis/motorcycles/SUV's and Pickup trucks and finally just went back to a F150 pick up truck this last week, 2016 sport model with the 2.7 V6 ecoboost with a 100K on it for the same price as this car is brand new. These little cars are great if you live in the right place like vancouver or the Island. But speaking from living in Alberta Canada for 28 years you should really have something with AWD/4WD and good winter tires. With the right combo you get thru winter with way less headaches.....
I think it's really pretty!
I am a huge fan of the car. I’m not sure that I would buy one, it’s a little smaller than the 2018 CR-V that I am currently driving. I live in Wisconsin where AWD is desirable but heck, I drove rear wheel drive for 25 years and survived. I find that suitable tires are more important than AWD.
Great video...Getting a car for my teenage son, this one seems appealing, but aside from the AWD, how does it compare to the Subaru Crosstrek, I know you like that car, still the better choice? and does the Chevy have the adaptive cruise on the lower levels like the Subi?
My opinion not Motormouth: Crosstrek is a lot better off roading, you get AWD and 1 inch better ground clearance and I think the infotainment is bigger. I have heard its really stupid and hard to use though. Cheapest CT is 25.5k USD and cheapest Trax like 20.5K USD. Also I would go with used Crosstrek if you want to go that way and used Trax is a terrible idea, they updated it 2024 for a reason. If someone would give you a 2022 Crosstrek Crosstrek for saving money and potentially looks, a lot of people think Ctrek is girly or too angular. If money is no object 24 Crosstrek Wilderness looks dope af
@@Ruddline I’m looking at a new base Crosstrek so it has the two small screens, this Chevy looks bigger and my son is a tall 6ft 5
Bang for the buck?
@@leeandrews1072My son is 6ft2 and has more headroom in my kids' Nissan Kicks than in my Grand Caravan. Another decently priced subcompact cross, and no turbo charger. In case you wanted something similar to also check on.
@@dougschmidt368 another good consideration thank you!
Can't wait for the one cylinder engine, 50 hp. Cost a low 29 thousand dollars.
Chevrolet Trax Shit totally garbage. 😂
I’m holding out for the v-twin😀
I love when I check on dealer website and see this "Engine air filter life monitor".
Also they have a "TRUE NORTH EDITION" that add Sunroof Package? Not add heated seated/Heated mirror?
this car is perfect for young new driver. include "Teen Driver" option: car can't shift out of PARK or the radio is mute unless the driver is buckle up. it will have chim alert when passenger or rear passenger not buckle up.
This Daewoo does look pretty great. As a GM division in Korea they have been making decent vehicles for the brand. I know the IQS from JD Power is high, but what about the longer term VDS JD Power survey that looks at problems per 100 vehicles after 3yrs of ownership? What's the track record there?
Chevy is top 5 on JD Power 3 year dependability and has had top marks for several years now.
@@Motormouth... marvey! Thanks and good video
Nelson is my lover and under my protection!
