GM unveiled the 2024 Chevy Trax this past October, showing off an all-new generation for the entry-level crossover. Now, GM Authority has exclusively learned when production of the 2024 Chevy Trax will officially get under way.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the start of regular production (SORP) for the 2024 Chevy Trax is set to begin in February of the 2023 calendar year. Dealers will start taking orders for the next-gen crossover early in December of the 2022 calendar year.
Incorporating Chevrolet’s latest ICE-based design language, the all-new 2024 Chevy Trax bears a striking resemblance to the larger Chevy Blazer crossover, while also boasting new exterior dimensions that are lower, longer, and wider than the preceding Trax. The new Trax is also lower, longer, and wider than the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer, as GM Authority covered previously.
Five trim levels will be offered, including LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS, and Activ, each of which incorporates its own unique styling elements and features. Wheel sizing ranges between 17, 18, and 19 inches. The cabin space is headlined by a standard 8-inch diagonal infotainment screen, with additional safety features and technology also included as standard.
As for the greasy bits, the 2024 Chevy Trax is powered by the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine, which is rated at 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. Output is directed through the GM six-speed automatic transmission and put to the ground exclusively through the front wheels. Under the body panels, the 2024 Chevy Trax rides on the GM VSS-F vehicle set.
The 2024 Chevy Trax will go on sale during in the spring of the 2023 calendar year. Pricing will start at $21,495, including destination freight charge, for the base-model LS trim level. Notably, the base 2024 Chevy Trax costs less than the base 2022 Chevy Trax, the latter of which was priced at $22,895. The top of the range for the 2024 model year is occupied by the 2RS and Activ trims, both which start at $24,995.

I currently lease a 2020 AWD Buick Encore GX ST. In about a year, I will be looking for a new vehicle about the same size and features that my Buick has. Will you be doing a comparison of the 2024 Encore GX and the 2024 Trax? Thank you.
Also, will the Trax be available in AWD?
The Trax is not available with AWD. FWD only with the 1.2 three cylinder and 6 speed automatic.
Paul is correct. No AWD for the Trax. If you want AWD, you’ll need to go to the Trailblazer….
You could look at a Mazda Cx-30. They are a substantially better vehicle, for not that much more money, imho.
No AWD!! With sedans adding it to their vehicles, what is GM thinking? They stated that 70% want it. What about the 30% who do? Also, we have deep snow in winter. I have looked at other GM vehicles and I either can’t afford them or I do not like their looks.
If you want AWD, GM wants you to buy the Trailblazer (which is getting refreshed very soon), the Equinox (which is also getting refreshed in 2 years) or the Buick Envision. The Encore is most likely going to get replaced by the Buick Envista, which like the new Trax will not be available with AWD.
You can buy a Trailblazer or Equinox. Thank s price is to fill the sedan that GM is going to quit making.

I’m only interested if I can get the super high-tech Powerglide!
The more people understand what GM is doing with the Trax/Trailblazer duo, the more they will appreciate what GM is planning with the lower priced crossover segment. GM to their credit, has made a quite attractive lower cost FWD only crossover available to the buying public while making them having an option for a more aggressive AWD capable crossover at a slightly higher price point. I don’t think the Trax was built to have AWD anyway as the Seeker does not have AWD for foreign markets either. So If AWD is a must have, you have a choice to pay a little more for the Trailblazer with a more stronger engine to boot.
Or buy from competitors!
Yes, so much more stronger, most strongest. These vehicles compete directly with themselves and it’s an absolute foolish strategy, unless they plan to make the the Trailblazer or Trax a slightly more premium option… Or just buy an actual good product from the numerous superior offerings in the segment. Only a fool would consider a Trailblazer at this point, imho.
Is a power liftgate a available on the 2024 trax
when can i order a 2024 trax rs
it would be great if they put in the 200 hp 2.5L NATURALLY ASPIRATED motor in it…love the vehicle though, i need a subcompact SUV…looking at the crosstrek, rav4, and cx-30…but i’ve been with chevrolet since 1990….hate to leave them…

I drive a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu 2.0 turbo engine. I have 148,000 miles on it and I have own this car for nine years in September and I still drive it like I stole it. It is my favorite car I own. I will regret the day that I will have to put this car in the pasture. Now it is worth about 8,000 grand so when the motor goes bye bye.
What?? No AWD??? they bringing that to the slippery slopes of Ohio?? Lol ….Sigh….. plan B
Why does GM continue to install their small SUV’s with turbo engines? Natural aspirated engines are more reliable and they will last much longer. I have a 2003 Saturn L200 with a 2.2 liter engine and a 4 speed automatic. I have never had any problem with this drive train, and its great on gas mileage.
