GM recently yanked the cover off of the all-new 2024 Chevy Trax back in October. Representing the second generation of GM’s entry-level crossover, the 2024 Trax boasts a brand-new exterior and interior. Now, we’re getting a first look at the all-new 2024 Chevy Trax painted in Black in the following GM Authority Live Photo Gallery.
This particular unit is draped in Mosaic Black Metallic paint (color code GB0) and finished in the 2RS outfit. Up front, we see the dual-layer headlight arrangement found on other recently introduced Chevy products, and an RS-specific front grille. Peeking out from the driver side of the grille is the red RS badge, along with a Black Bow Tie front-and-center.
Moving around to the side, we see body-colored side mirrors and black roof rails. This ensemble is rolling on 19-inch Black-painted machined aluminum wheels, while a closer look reveals the keyless vehicle entry button on the front door handle, a standard 2RS feature.
Out back, the exhaust tips have been tucked up under the rear so as not to be visible. Additionally, we see a Black Bow Tie, the red RS badge on the passenger side of the liftgate, taillights with horizontal spears, faux vents below said taillights, and a roof-mounted antenna.
For those who may be unaware, the 2024 Chevy Trax marks the beginning of an all-new, second generation for the subcompact crossover. The latest Trax’s exterior is longer, lower, and wider than the preceding model, while the interior receives an extra three inches of rear legroom and a 12-percent increase in cargo capacity. On the tech side, LS and 1RS trims get a standard eight-inch diagonal infotainment screen, while LT, 2RS, and Activ trims get an 11-inch screen. Furthermore, the 2024 Trax is granted with other goodies like Active Noise Cancelation and cruise control, while Adaptive Cruise Control is offered on most trims.
One of the more interesting pieces of the 2024 Chevy Trax is how it slots into the Chevy lineup alongside the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer. Despite both being based on the GM VSS-F vehicle set, the Trax is longer and wider, while the Trailblazer is taller. Despite their different sizes, both vehicles are priced similarly.
Why would GM sell two vehicles that are so closely positioned together? Well, GM figures it’s a lifestyle choice. Prospective buyers for the Trax are expected to be looking for the practicality of a sedan and the versatility of a utility vehicle, yet maintain more aggressive proportions. Meanwhile, the Trailblazer’s taller ride height and available AWD is intended to draw a different type of customer to Chevy dealerships.

Looks pretty good, considering what it is.
I’m there. City car.
Seems so much more practical than a BOLT cheaper too…can take off on a long trip anywhere without flowing the charger route
This looks good inside and out. The only ding, which 90% of people really don’t need, is the lack of AWD.
The bigger problem is the lack of a 1.3l engine. We have a Trailblazer with the 1.3 and it performs really well.
However, as far as market strategy goes, the need for more power will drive many customers up to the TB.
Nice, very nice
GM killed it with this one! The price is great and the styling makes it look more expensive than it is. If I didn’t just purchase a new Blazer 2 months ago I would be seriously considering it. The biggest downside for me is the size. I am not sure I would like a vehicle that small. But for the $15k price difference between it and the Blazer I could probably make it work. I suspect this will be a very hot CUV next year, hope we don’t see mark ups on it. The price is what makes it special. Which Ford had the same thing with the Maverick and we saw plenty of suckers pay $10k or more over sticker for them. People do things I will never understand.
The first time I saw the Seeker I called for it to be introduced to the NA market as its a clear winner. What I didnt know was that GM planned for it to be a entry level crossover instead of what I thought would be a betweener above the Traiblazer and below the Equinox EV, which leads me to my main concerns about three distinct features the new Trax will be without. No rear center cupholder/armrest, no top level 1.3L turbo engine, and no LED taillight options. I would want to add no AWD and no rear passenger AC vents, but those aren’t really top priorities at this price point. I predict the new Trax will be a popular choice with many buyers and not necessarily younger people but all age groups. The pressure will be upon GM to make the Trax and also the Trailblazer available to dealers to satisfy demand, unfortunately I think both vehicles will be in short supply. The Lordstown plant could have been making the Trax and Trailblazer, but GM…
I’d absolutely consider it. Reasonably priced, nicely styled. The 1.2 I-3 doesn’t worry me. I’ll be the only person in it most of the time and live in flat Florida. 138 HP is enough. The 6-speed auto instead of a CVT is a plus. Seriously, I may put my car shopping on hold until it’s released.
This looks really good and well done by Chevy/GM… the old Trax looked like a bloated little turd this new Trax especially is RS trim looks sporty… Now I just wish the RS had a little bit more power and optional AWD… other then that I like this and the fact that they didn’t call it an SS.
Too bad there is no Blue paint offering in the US. Dont understand that decision. The “Seeker” in Blue looks fantastic.
