Here’s When 2025 Chevy Trax Production Will Start

General Motors unveiled the 2024 Chevy Trax last year, pulling the sheets on an all-new entry-level crossover. Now, the next-gen Trax is headed for the 2025 model year, and GM Authority has the scoop on when 2025 Chevy Trax production is scheduled to start.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the 2025 Chevy Trax will begin rolling off the line on March 4th, 2024.

The third-generation Chevy Trax crossover.

The Chevy Trax is currently produced at the GM Changwon plant in South Korea. Prior to the introduction of the all-new 2024 model year, the Trax was produced at the GM Bupyeong plant, also located in South Korea. The first units of the all-new 2024 Chevy Trax rolled off the line on February 24th, 2023. The GM Changwon facility previously produced the now-discontinued Chevy Spark, with Spark production ending with the 2022 model year.

In terms of the exterior dimensions, the next-gen Chevy Trax is longer, lower, and wider than the previous generation, measuring in with an overall length of 178.6 inches, an overall width (without mirrors) of 71.7 inches, and an overall height of 61.4 inches. The exterior design adopts Chevy’s latest ICE-based styling language, and looks to be somewhat similar to that of the ICE-based Chevy Blazer. Wheel sizing up to 19 inches in diameter is offered.

The larger exterior dimensions provide more space inside the cabin, with an extra 3 inches of rear legroom and 12 percent more cargo capacity. The crossover is equipped as standard with an 8-inch infotainment screen, while an 11-inch screen is equipped higher in the range.

Under the hood, all next-gen Chevy Trax variants are equipped with the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine, with output rated at a maximum of 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. Output is routed through the GM six-speed automatic transmission, and reaches the ground exclusively through the front wheels. Under the skin, the 2024 Chevy Trax rides on the GM VSS-F vehicle set. Pricing starts at $21,495.

  1. Why so early? Not like it’s a refresh or anything. Oh, I get it. So they can raise the price. A lot. The sooner the better.

  2. Beachy: According to the article the start of production for the 2024 Trax was in February 2023. So, starting production of the 2025 model year in early March of 2024 sounds about right. Now this is just an estimate but add shipping time, and US dealers won’t see the 2025 model until June of 2025 for the earliest deliveries.

  4. Here in Canada, the first 24 Trax models are starting to trickle in. We just took delivery of a 1RS unit at work and its an absolutely Amazing car, especially for the price.
    The car is very quiet both around town and on the highway. I just drove it 309 km home from the selling dealer and could not be more impressed.
    Even in base 1RS trim the seats are very comfortable, the audio system is quite good , the drive train works well especially appreciate the 6 spd auto. I think one of the reasons it feels so good has to do with how quiet it is , just unbelievable for what it is. The fit and finish on the outside is better than cars costing twice as much.
    I know some have criticized the hard plastic inside, buts not an issue for me. The car is very comfortable and because its so quiet it has a quality feel!!
    GM has an absolute hit on their hands, They need a second assembly plant.
    Hopefully the 25 model does not change much if anything on this extraordinary auto!!

    1. I found the seats way too small in every way for above average sized people. It’s designed for small women and short guys.

    2. I just purchased my 2RS 600 miles ago, it is amazingly smooth, quiet, sporty and fun to cruise in. I was looking for a second family car in lieu of a pick up truck to support my handyman hobby that could haul tools, building materials and keep them dry, this redesigned second generation Chevy TRAX is a perfect match. It looks great on the outside and the interior is spacious and comfortable front and rear with plenty of leg room for adult passengers. Fold down the rear seats and the TRAX becomes an instant hauler. Chevrolet hit a home run, keep them coming.

  5. Place a larger engine in it & see an increase in fuel economy. The Chinese Seeker with a 1.5L & CVT gets 36 mpg on the highway compared to 32 mpg for the Trax .

    1. I’ll take the 1.5 engine, but you can the CVT.

    2. And a raise in price, pushing it out of where it needs to be for the market GM is trying to sell to. Smarter people than we have already done the numbers…

      1. Lol “smarter people have done the numbers.” Based on the rather alarming fall of lowercase gm stock I’d say they probably haven’t. Over the past 6 months Toyota stock has rose 30% while lowercase gm has fallen 15%. You can blame the strike all you’d like, but there are many other problems gm needs to address. The market demand for BEV cars simply just doesn’t seem to be as prevalent as Mary gambled on…. Most of the entry level ICE vehicles gm offer are simply not very competitive. Would be nice to see an decent 4 cylinder and REAL transmission (DCT or traditional) offered in any Chevy product that’s not a BOF or massive SUV.

  6. Why isn’t GM building their cars in American? I do not understand hoe come the manufacturing companies do not build here in the USA. They want me to spend my money, put their companies back where you sell them

    1. Why didn’t anyone give a reply on this comment I really interested in what all these super smart people had to say.

      1. What options are they adding to the 2025 model?

    2. Have you heard of the UAW strike? No headaches abroad.

      1. In Korea? Are you serious? The labor unions in Korea are very much a factor.

  7. Has anyone heard if they’re going to make an AWD version? It’s a beautiful car, but without AWD, I’m out, and I have two other friends who feel the same.

  8. The new Chevy Trax LS is absolutely capable to reach as low as $17,995 newspaper ad sale price, but it appears GM is not interested in ramping up production even more.
