National U.S. inventory for the Chevy Trax was running at a 20 days supply in the beginning of January 2023, GM Authority has learned from sources familiar with the matter.
Dealerships had 1,441 units of the subcompact crossover on the ground as of January 1st. The 2022 Chevy Trax is out of production, so no additional units are in transit at the moment.
Supply of the Chevy Trax is down somewhat compared to November 2022, when U.S. dealerships had a 22 days supply on the ground. The crossover had a 16 days supply in October 2022, up from a low of 9 days supply in August.
To put these metrics in perspective, a 60 days supply was considered optimal in the U.S. auto industry before the COVID-19 pandemic and the global supply shortage.
In March 2022, GM Authority exclusively reported that General Motors was dropping the outgoing-generation Chevy Trax crossover from its lineup after the 2022 model year. Adhering to this plan, the automaker ended 2022 Chevy Trax production on November 30th, 2022 at the GM Bupyeong plant located in Incheon, South Korea.
U.S. sales numbers for mainstream subcompact crossovers fell sharply for most makes and models, with the exception of strong gains for the Jeep Compass and a few others. Sales declined 17 percent for subcompact crossovers overall, but sales numbers for the Chevy Trax fell even more, dropping 37.5 percent compared to 2021.

While there is no 2023 model-year Chevy Trax, the all-new 2024 Chevy Trax will soon introduce the next generation of the crossover. The exact start of regular production (SORP) for the overhauled Trax is scheduled for February 13th, 2023, as GM Authority has learned. The new crossover should arrive in dealerships in Spring 2023.
The 2024 Chevy Trax is longer, lower, and wider than the 2022 model and boasts a complete exterior and interior redesign. Power is supplied by the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine generating 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, matched to the GM six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with no all-wheel drive option. The crossover rides on the GM VSS-F vehicle set.
The 2024 Chevy Trax has a lower price than the 2022 Trax, with a starting MSRP of $21,495, including the destination freight charge.
