this kind of car would be perfect for me lol...i dont care about it looking luxurious or whether it has an arm rest, i care about it being bigger than a car but smaller than a big suv
I own a 2017 Trax and I really like it... it handles great (turns on a dime), it small so it parks anywhere and it has everything I need in terms of tech. A lot of the bitchy people here don't take into account that not everyone wan't a heavy/big car and I have never had a honda, toyota or ford that I liked. Don't like it, don't buy it... but Other than me I know three people with one and no one is unhappy with the purchase.
What’s the exact 0-60 with only 138 hp because I don’t know if I want to buy it if it doesn’t have power, I honestly love Trax but the power of the car is holding me back allot and I don’t really care about going fast. All I care about is needing to catch up if I’m in a dent situation
The Bakers I just test drove one of these today and WOW was IMPRESSED!! Coming from a Scion-Hyundai-Ford Focus - Its a great stepping point for me. I hate being on the ground so that is great for me and also the gas mileage is comparable to my Ford... Having owned yours over a year, what's the maintenance been like for you???
Who cares. Who actually really times and cares how fast does this vehicle reach 60 MPH once you get on the onramp? I never understood this marketing tactic. 98% of people couldn't care less if it takes 6 seconds or 12 seconds. Is that a major issue if it takes a second or 2 faster? ( or slower )? At the end of the trip, what's the difference?
Damn this guy is a real pro reviewer. I have been looking for a new car and this is by far the most comprehensive and useful video i have come across. This dude's take is great and it's shot incredibly well.
Hamzah FRS sadly not anymore. 100k miles and it started going bad fast. Keep your Camry, I have a 2009 camru with 200k as well and it’s better than the Trax!
Come on over with your piss ant cars and drive on our six lanes in both direction 80 MPH speed limits and huge number of lorries we have and see just how comfortable you feell out there.
Was able to purchase a brand new 2020 for 15k! That’s about 2.5k-3k less than all of the competitors here in central Texas (except the eco sport). I actually don’t like the design of Honda so I don’t know why everyone is Gaga for them, but compared to the CX 3, HR-V, Ecosport, etc...this was by far my favorite to drive and favorite interior lay out.
HR-V isn't made of gold or some super car that will never break. People have this perception that Honda never has problems and they're something from outter space. They have their problems. Just like any other car. I sat in one recently and it's all the same shit. Cheap plastics and economy material. I used to think the same thing, but I see a shit load of older chevy's on the roads. Cobalts, Sunfires, Uplanders, etc. I do hate GM as a company, but to say that the cars are complete shit, I disagree.
So??? It's a Honda, it's made of gold. Never fails and every issue it has is excused and still considered something special. WOW!!! Some people really think in "brands".
Joe mariconadas they are made of the same stuff on the interior as the trax..and Honda’s do break down ppl just don’t realize it they have there problems just like any other car
I bought a 2017 LT Trax in March 2017. I looked at plenty of other so called crossovers and this was jam packed with features. It rides like a dream.Sips gasoline and has plenty of punch with it's turbo engine.Sunroof,Bose sound,sat radio, 110 volt outlet and so many other creature comforts, I cannot understand why anyone would not like this 2017 LT Trax. My '94 Caprice station wagon is still a daily driver for my son and me when I need to feel a V8 (330,000 miles on it).This Trax will no doubt be the same sort of long lived vehicle.CHEVY RULES.! Station wagons are destined to return. Love it.!
I'm seeing so many of these everywhere around town. I also work at a Chevy dealer and these are half the cars we sell, new and used. At this rate, it seems like it could be one of the most common cars of all time, behind the Model T and the Beetle. Do people really love these cars that much? Is it just because they're cheap? Or are they cheap because so many people are buying them?
I love my trax the AWD is great and mine also has heated mirrors. I like the plastic interior where I live when it snows its easy to wipe off when the snow gets inside.
I'm seriously considering getting a '17/'18 Trax as a very reasonably priced second vehicle. I've been a car guy my whole life and don't want to give up that type of driving experience. With that said, I get the functionality of a small AWD SUV.
I normally don't like SUV's because they all look alike, and are boring at best, the Trax is definitely good looking to me. I'll be getting a new 2018 Chevy as soon as the 2019 models come out, but for my liking and use, it'll be either a Cruze or Sonic. Nice review here.
My 2018 is not so quick to accelerate at freeway speeds. i can reach the touch screen easy enough. I wanted something not tiny, great gas mileage, not to low nor expensive - I like mine!
I own the 2015 edition of this car it's actually my first car had some problems here and there no car is perfect but for me this car is everything to me it has enough space for me and my friends and to fold down the seats it's easy and so convenient that I even fit a tall cabinet once for friend even though it was hanging out just a little it's better than most compact SUVs coming out of IKEA lol
In Argentina it has the same cost in Dollars, but here 51.5% of that value are taxes, while in the US taxes only recharge 7%. I think GM is making a lot of money in the US.
To be honest like the rest of these comments, what's the use of this segment? Just save a few thousand to get a more practical yet good looking compact crossover. In fact I hardly see any subcompact crossovers. The most popular models I see are the HR-V, Crosstrek (if you want that vehicle to the segment), and Renegade. Hardly see the CX-3 and the Trax.
The very point of subcompact crossover is it offers the practicality of medium SUV (you called it compact crossover) but at the same time offers similiar economic value as city car and hatchback. For short, It offers the benefit of both medium SUV and Hatchback without sacrificing too much what costumer need And for such a new segment they doing realy well worldwide!! Maybe not for US, not yet actualy because the subcompact crossover selling trend is rising That's why the carmaker companies see subcompact crossover as promising segment
CrazyFastRapper nope... nope the Chevy Trax is BEST IN CLASS forget it loser the Foreigners might make better sedans but AMERICA has ALWAYS and will ALWAYS make better SUVs! FACT!!! Nomatter how much KBB points out Chevys flows and covers up Toyotas and Hondas flows! Other reviewers aint biased and give new American vehicles RAVE reviews!!! FACT!
makes no sense seeing as traditionally ford has done nothing but offer worst in class reliability, worst in class connectivity, worst in class interior, and worst in class sound isolation / ride quality. #DealingWithTheIgnorantlyInept
Nice piece of kit, but I'll pass, nice review none-the-less my friend "a decent job of keeping the outside noise where it belongs" and the obligatory Chevy "cheapo plastic" notwithstanding
I don't understand the appeal of these cars... They're smaller, uglier, more expensive cars. Every time I see a subcompact SUV it just looks like a raised Golf to me... Or a shrunken minivan.
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluff

beepbeepmeow calm down
beepbeepmeow Agreed!
Mid-size cars like a Honda Accord have way more interior space and a smoother ride

Same!

How long have you had it? In that time, have you experienced any problems?
What’s the exact 0-60 with only 138 hp because I don’t know if I want to buy it if it doesn’t have power, I honestly love Trax but the power of the car is holding me back allot and I don’t really care about going fast. All I care about is needing to catch up if I’m in a dent situation

Thanks, Vincent! I'm glad you found our review helpful!
We have a 2017 Trax, 88k miles rn and she’s doing amazing
Is it reliable? Should I switch to it from a 2008 camry?
Hamzah FRS sadly not anymore. 100k miles and it started going bad fast. Keep your Camry, I have a 2009 camru with 200k as well and it’s better than the Trax!
What kinda problems at 100k?
Should be priced @ 13K-$15K, not $20K
athemocracy GM should pay people to buy this lump off their Buick and Chevrolet dealerships!
athemocracy I mean you can't even buy a new Corolla or a Civic for that, why one of these
Yes, but CUVs/compact and subcompact vehicles need to stop moving up market and getting out of reach for the working class
athemocracy the whole class is overpriced
Charm R May I ask you where at?
Ah american, always complaining about small cars, yet every person in the rest of the world really love small and chuckable cars.
We're too fat.
We actually love small cars. But unfortunately the European markets get all the cool hatchbacks. We are stuck with ugly small cars like the Fiesta
Come on over with your piss ant cars and drive on our six lanes in both direction 80 MPH speed limits and huge number of lorries we have and see just how comfortable you feell out there.

I have had mine for nearly two years and I love it. I bought it used in 2019 is maneuverable and great on gas!
In 5 years, this could make for a perfect first car
It might be my first car😂 depending on this review
Its gonna be mine soon 😅
My first car lol 35,000 miles the 2015 model
Correction, 2 years 😳
Definitely good for a first car you won’t care about if anything happens to it lol
I got a 2017 chevy trax from carvana for 15,000 and it only had 13,440 milles on it and Im in love with it already.
what? 15k? chevy trax 2017 near me is 18k, 36k miles you are lucky
Did you get the title?
i just bought one today and love it!

I gave in and bought one today and I love it!
Congratulations on your new car!

@@das2190 how’s it holding up ?
in my country trax is much better than hrv. and cheaper. worth to buy
Efo Efo Trax is cheaper in my country, too.
It's cheap here in USA. $13000 for the base model
80's Nostalgia Guy 21k brand new for the base model
What is Chevy thinking when the Honda C-RV and H-RV are in the same price range with substantially better quality...
tingokuman Not discounted to $14K like the Trax.
HR-V isn't made of gold or some super car that will never break. People have this perception that Honda never has problems and they're something from outter space. They have their problems.

Y'all think this is pos? A Jeep Patriot and last gen Jeep Compass is more pos than this lol
yiyangcheng True
That doesn't take away from the fact that this is still a POS.
yiyangcheng so what’s a good car then
Anonymous it really isn’t the trax is a good car you can’t say anything if you haven’t had one
Jeeps are crap too besides Wrangler.
I think the front end looks really good...
I love my Trax... :)
Do you still like it??? Would you recommend to someone?
Jessica Woodward That's what I'm asking, xD
How has it been holding up ?
Great review. Thank you so much for announcing the main competitors.
when a movie suck, it goes straight to dvd. when a car sucks, it goes straight to become a rental car. this is a such car
Will look for it next time I rent a car
conceptcs Too tiny for most companies to rent out. Hertz is a big renter of these.
hehehe, i have it as a rental right now. its not bad....its great on gas....
I love renting
conceptcs Here’s my take. It’s like a movie that’s a 6,5-7.5. They could’ve done so much better but honestly it’s passible.
Since when has a Honda ever had the quietest cabin? Great cars, but they have always had road noise intrude in the cabin.
So??? It's a Honda, it's made of gold. Never fails and every issue it has is excused and still considered something special. WOW!!! Some people really think in "brands".
ganthc It is a great car and I love mine :)
Joe mariconadas they are made of the same stuff on the interior as the trax..and Honda’s do break down ppl just don’t realize it they have there problems just like any other car

@Ray Lat You need to read more carefully. He didn't say the Trax has 330,000 miles
I own a 2019 Trax AWD with 32,000 miles and it's a solid little car. It's good in the snow and ice of northern Michigan too. I like it.
I'm seeing so many of these everywhere around town. I also work at a Chevy dealer and these are half the cars we sell, new and used.

Hi what kind of job would this be considered as? I would love to do this in the future !
L&B Channel Automotive journalist
Thanks so much ❤️
L&B Channel fuck yeah, you get to drive all these cars and get to know more about them.
Also makes it easier to decide which car you gonna pick
I've been renting rental car since September of last year I could have been doing this too. I might start next month when I renew for another 30 days
Thought the guy at 1:48 was a crash test dummy 😂 I need to stop smoking 🤦♂️
😂😂😂
I drove on the highway alongside the big rig trucks, didn't even affect the driving
I love my trax the AWD is great and mine also has heated mirrors. I like the plastic interior where I live when it snows its easy to wipe off when the snow gets inside.
You can actually buy the 2019 for $13k
Where? $23K in Lake Havasu City, AZ
Terri Cleary pre- owned you can
with all the positive reviews i think i found the car for me
I'm seriously considering getting a '17/'18 Trax as a very reasonably priced second vehicle. I've been a car guy my whole life and don't want to give up that type of driving experience. With that said, I get the functionality of a small AWD SUV.
Not bad but the Pontiac Vibe that was essentially it's ancestor was quite a bit more stylish.
I normally don't like SUV's because they all look alike, and are boring at best, the Trax is definitely good looking to me. I'll be getting a new 2018 Chevy as soon as the 2019 models come out, but for my liking and use, it'll be either a Cruze or Sonic. Nice review here.
I got one when I recently rented a car. Really liked it! This car would be 1000x better with a manual transmission though.
It's only like $1k lower than the 2017 Buick Encore, right? What's the point Chevy?
Wrong. Base model starts around $13000
What’s better I’m trying to decide on a compact SUV??? I’m stuck between trac, encore, and thinking about the equinox.
I don't understand subcompact SUVs. Who are these made for?
BlueNinjakoopa553 people who have no sense!
People who can't afford, or don't need a real SUV.
BlueNinjakoopa553 For people who wants efficient vehicles
a compact hatch or wagon will do much better mpg and better driving dynamic this whole crossover suv thing is dumb .
College students
is the Toyota chr in the U.S. market ? i hardly find any review almost all of them reviews are in the UK !!
Love the Trax and we've found it to be a perfect fit in the line-up. Thanks KBB!
I have the 2015 Chevy Trax.
It's handling is fucking great.
Do you know if there hybrid engine options for Chevrolet Trax?
Premium vinyl is that really a thing?
The world's first perfect car. 10 outs 10

Money Fredo I had to replace turbo charger on my 2015 trax at 34000 miles. I like the Trax I think the turbo never wrked right. Now it has more power.
the missing armrest is awesome. great idea. more open room for passenger . and still just share the armrest
Ray Lat u don’t really fight over it there’s a lot of room for 2 elbows my mom and I do fine with the one arm rest plenty of room for ur elbow
so its just a buick encore with the chevy badge
I've driven the Chevy Trax&I own the 2018 Buick Encore Sport.The Encore is bigger inside,not cheaply made&better horsepower
Jennifer Orlando Ludwig they have the same engine..and it’s a Buick it’s more luxurious than Chevy obviously it’s gonna be made nicer
I have a 2019 and its great!! Greatest vehicle I ever had!
i love this car
Me too
3:04 rip
F
refrain from beckening boost pressure? is that what you said? why? will it go into reduced power engine? my biggest fear with GM
In Argentina it has the same cost in Dollars, but here 51.5% of that value are taxes, while in the US taxes only recharge 7%. I think GM is making a lot of money in the US.
Mariano Cannas 6 percent actually and yes they are making a lot of money. I like GM.
Thanks! Ive been waiting for this review!
This is a decent looking cuv, but it needs a better interior. The make over it got didn't go far enough in fixing the flaws inside.
Does it also come with lane keep assist?
I have one. Love it.
Glad to hear it, Jorge!
I'm considering to buy Mitsubishi ASX, can it par with Chev Trax?
I'm amazed that GM is still in business
atb102798 me too
Thanks to tax payers dollars
I love mine in blue! And everyone needs to check out the trax active concepet i want mine to look like it!
To be honest like the rest of these comments, what's the use of this segment? Just save a few thousand to get a more practical yet good looking compact crossover. In fact I hardly see any subcompact crossovers. The most popular models I see are the HR-V, Crosstrek (if you want that vehicle to the segment), and Renegade. Hardly see the CX-3 and the Trax.

And for such a new segment they doing realy well worldwide!!
Maybe not for US, not yet actualy because the subcompact crossover selling trend is rising
That's why the carmaker companies see subcompact crossover as promising segment
I've just realized I haven't seen any of these on the Road and I drive 64 miles a day. People must hate these
John Doe 6 people have them in my apartment complex alone! I see them all the time in Texas.
In Chicago you can get a base Chevy trax for $16,000.
class leading in connectivity, interior, and ride quality, well done chevy, but i don't little CUV's.
LMFAO..... so true.... what does he know ???? not much..... and he can't even afford one....
CrazyFastRapper nope... nope the Chevy Trax is BEST IN CLASS forget it loser the Foreigners might make better sedans but AMERICA has ALWAYS and will ALWAYS make better SUVs! FACT!!!

Sound like trump there
It might have all the connectivity for the kids but the stereo system is still lacking and sucks.
paul smith get the sun and sound upgrade comes with Bose and sunroof
Not a looker but is a very reliable grocery getter.
I like this reviewer better than that other KBB person who is always haming in the camera
Looks like a best seller for rental car companies.
sportsMike87 Not really
Starting at $22,000 is too much for this.
It's not that bad. I'd consider the base with a manual. Maybe get some rims and turn up the boost for a nice daily driver.
For some reason I fit better in this car than my Equinox? I like this car.
I just purchased the HRV and it is better all around.
Is that AWD or FWD?
No cruise on the base trim over 20k is deplorable. Chevy isn't the only one to do so unfortunately. Seems like a nice little ute otherwise.
I prefer the Buick Encore
Can you sleep in the back if you had to?
Get an encore it is better in every way
If you will take a base Trax, might as well get a loaded Fit. lol
@1:49
I just got one and i have cruise control in mine for that same price so far thank you Brian B at diamond
Good thing ford is making one. So GM won't be able to sell 1 of these things in about 2 years.
CrazyFastRapper Ford all ready has a compact SUV it's called a eco sport but they don't sell it in the states
darktinx I know it's coming.
makes no sense seeing as traditionally ford has done nothing but offer worst in class reliability, worst in class connectivity, worst in class interior, and worst in class sound isolation / ride quality. #DealingWithTheIgnorantlyInept
You just said everything the Chevrolet Trax is. Also, nice bots. Where can i get them?
I like my fiesta interior allot more than the fit no its not as reliable as a Honda but if i wanted ONLY reliability i would by a Toyota.
Fit and finish issues again?? Oh GM when will you learn.
Nice piece of kit, but I'll pass, nice review none-the-less my friend "a decent job of keeping the outside noise where it belongs" and the obligatory Chevy "cheapo plastic" notwithstanding
🌹😍 LIKE 1.4 LITTER ENGINE, 138 HORSE POWER, 148 POUND FEET OF TORQUE 🌹🙏
That back seat did not have decent leg space. Zach looked super uncomfortable!
Can make a good first car!
it needs a engine upgrade, 138/148 is too weak for a cuv
CAMARO_KYLE all the cuv's are really slow
Last model was more muscular than this
I love the tax
How patriotic
I don't understand the appeal of these cars... They're smaller, uglier, more expensive cars. Every time I see a subcompact SUV it just looks like a raised Golf to me... Or a shrunken minivan.
I don't see the point of this. The Equinox get the same MPG and it's bigger with the 2.4 4cyl
PSA Opel MOKKA X/ PSA Buick ENCOR/PSA Chevrolet Trax
Can Özmen PSA only owns Vauxhall and Opel. Chevrolet is still owned by GM
Would be 13k max this thing is a slap in the face lol
Considering that most who buy a car like this are left wing millennials, subcompact crossovers are great candidates for all electric vehicles.
AYEEEE MY AUNTS CARRR (she has a 2021 now)
Paid 35k for it worst mistake ever gets like 12 mpg
