Featuring a complete overhaul for the new model year, the 2024 Chevy Trax stands as the first model year of the Bow Tie brand’s second-generation subcompact crossover, and introduces a suite of exterior, interior, and powertrain revisions. Now, the next-gen Trax is available with a new appearance package.
Dubbed the Blackout Package (RPO code PDD), this new LPO or dealer-installed option is available exclusively for the LS and LT trim levels for an extra $295, and includes the following (relevant RPO code in parenthesis):
- Front and rear Black Bow Tie emblems, LPO (SFZ)
- Black nameplate, LPO (RIN)
It’s worth noting that both the SFZ and RIN options can be added to the LS and LT trims as standalone options. Thus, the former costs $225, while the latter costs $125.
As a reminder, the 2024 Chevy Trax is all new for the new model year. This includes a thoroughly overhauled exterior design, which features proportions that are longer, lower and wider than before. A set of dual-tier headlights with daytime running lights and turn signals are mounted high on the front fascia as well as headlamps mounted low.
On the inside, the 2024 Trax boasts an extra three inches of rear legroom and a 12 percent increase in cargo room over the preceding generation. Active Noise Cancelation and Adaptive Cruise Control are available on most trims, while lower trims feature an eight-inch diagonal infotainment screen, and LT, 2RS and Activ trims get an 11-inch screen.
Under the hood, the 2024 Chevy Trax is powered by the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine, rated at 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. Output is routed to the front wheels exclusively through the GM six-speed automatic transmission.
As for structure, the 2024 Trax rides on the GM VSS-F vehicle set. Production officially kicked off in February 2023 at the GM Changwon plant in South Korea. Pricing for the starting 1LS trim level starts at $21,495, which includes the destination freight charge.

Stunning?
Looks good!
Looks great 👍🏻… Now add another engine option please.
As if they aren’t blacked out enough to start with. Only in this kookey day and age does it cost nearly 300 bucks to change the color of a few badges or charge well over a grand to paint everything including the wheels black. All extra money in the bank for car manufacturers.
Adhigher HP engine option and a BIG MISS is no AWD option. Many loss sales for all AWD customers including me. From a potential Northern New Mexico customer
GM has stated the new Trax was intended to be an indirect replacement for the Cruze. They sold hundreds of thousands of Cruze sedans and hatchbacks without AWD, and it was just fine. It may be vaguely crossover shaped, but it’s intended to be a car. Need AWD, then just buy a Trailblazer.
Avenir… My thoughts exactly not everything needs to be AWD … five of my cars where front wheel drive, one was rear wheel drive and I can tell you I had no problem driving in the snow with snow tires, this new Trax is a nice looking little wagon and your right if you want AWD then buy an trailblazer or an Equinox.
Was planning on buying a new Trax as my 2015 AWD is aging out. But this new car, without All wheel Drive? Major step back, and what’s worse is that if they DO incorporate it eventually it will be stacked well over the current price that launched without it. So unfortunately, going to have to walk from a legacy ownership of the Trax.
So how does this fit with the Simplification strategy?? OK, so not only can you get the blackout package, but you can also purchase the 2 elements of that package individually, . .or individually together (to equal the package at a slightly higher price)!!?? Why exactly?
