2025 Chevy Trax Redline Edition Debuts In South Korea

Exactly one year after the official launch of the all-new Chevy Trax in South Korea, General Motors announced the 2025 Chevy Trax Redline Edition’s debut in the Asian country.

The automaker’s South Korean subsidiary just launched the new 2025 Chevy Trax Redline Edition as the headliner for the vehicle’s second model year in South Korea, the country of origin and global manufacturing center for Chevrolet‘s entry-level crossover. In fact, it’s the first time worldwide that the second-generation Chevy Trax adopts the Redline trim with its sporty interior and exterior accents.

“The Chevrolet Trax is a new standard in the crossover segment that is achieving great success in domestic and overseas markets like a core model for GM Korea,” said Chief Marketing Officer of GM Korea, Myongok Yoon. “The Trax crossover is an entry-level product that has established itself as the best option in the market, and will continue its sales boom this year through a model year change that further emphasizes its stylish appeal,” she said.

As such, the new 2025 Chevy Trax Redline Edition debuts in South Korea as an additional mid-range variant for the local market that will complement the crossover’s existing LS, Activ and RS trim levels. Specifically, the 2025 Trax Redline is positioned between the LS and Activ, representing an indirect replacement for the previous LT trim that had initially been launched in the South Korean market.

Aesthetically, the 2025 Chevy Trax Redline Edition stands out by including multiple gloss black body moldings, a new exclusive 17-inch wheel design and the characteristic contrasting red line accentuating various elements of both the exterior and the cabin. Additionally, and although it is a mid-range trim level, the Trax Redline has a fairly complete package of technology and comfort features.

The new 2025 Chevy Trax Redline Edition is now available for sale at the brand’s official dealerships in South Korea, along with the other three variants for the crossover’s 2025 model year. The Redline maintains the exact same powertrain and most of the equipment of the other versions, but is expected to help maintain the strong commercial momentum of the new Trax thanks to its striking looks in a more affordable package.

Here is pricing for the 2025 Chevy Trax in the South Korean market:

  • 2025 Trax LS: 21,880,000 won (about $16,540 USD at the current exchange rate)
  • 2025 Trax Redline: 25,950,000 won ($19,610 USD)
  • 2025 Trax Activ: 28,210,000 won ($21,320 USD)
  • 2025 Trax RS: 28,800,000 won ($21,770 USD)

  1. If this comes to the US, DO NOT replace the LT with it.

    1. Please stop with the black rims! This should not replace the LT, huge mistake of it does, as it’s the sweet spot for tech and value for the Trax. Redline shouldn’t just be a sport trim, the RS already fills that hole, it needs some type of performance upgrade. For gosh sakes Saturn did the Redline right, stick to that formula of you want to create a Redline. And stop with the goofy crayon colors (glossy yet flat), this fad needs to be over as those colors don’t age well over time.

      1. This isn’t a sport trim and neither is the RS. They don’t have any performance upgrades over the other trims

  2. HUGE MISTAKE if Chevrolet North America replaces the handsome Trax LT with this ugly Redline edition. The Trax is barely out of starting gate and GM is already working hard to ruin it.

  3. It would be a significant error on Chevrolet North America’s part if they were to replace the attractive Trax LT with the unappealing Redline edition. The Trax has only just begun its journey, and GM’s efforts to alter it so soon could potentially mar its initial success.

  4. If 2024 becomes the only year for the LT, that Luxury Touring tag will also mean Limited Trax. It can be flagged as rare, sought by collectors, etc. in the historical context of the two dime-a-dozen RS, Rally “Sport,” trims sought by those merely looking for a cheap used car.

  5. Plain and simple, If something ain’t broke, don’t fix it!! GM has consistently destroyed their great ideas with altering an amazing product! Look at history, They killed Oldsmobile sales by changing the names of their models, the list goes on and on but I’m gonna keep this short. I own 2 TRAX one is an LS base and the other is a 2 R/S and in addition to that I own a Buick Envista Avenir which as you all know is a luxury edition of a TRAX with leather seats. That said GM needs to stop changing things especially this early into production! Wise up GM!

    1. Why? It’s forcing you to buy a 4th car? To me you already have a boring fleet of cars.

    2. This is regarding the South Korean market Trax NOT OURS. It’s right there in the headline. GM didn’t change anything for ours.

  6. Love my LT. Probably would add a couple of the Encore options. Folding passenger seat. Auto rear hatch lid. Rear door buttons. The new GM colors are amazing. I read a review about poor steering and lack of power. They must have been reviewing some other car . My LT has significant power and torque. Steering is fine. Maybe if they owned as many cars as I have they would know the difference. GM engineers get a big “ At a boy”.

  7. 1st; lt should be noted that you can only purchase the Trax by buying what dealerships have on hand. You can’t order one optioned how you want. I’ve confirmed this with multiple dealerships and Chevrolet via their website chat service.
    2nd; All wheel designs are simply aweful except the black painted Activ wheels. And of course you can’t swap between trims.
    3rd; Chevrolet’s MSRP is flatly ignored as dealerships are significantly higher priced making it much less attractive.

    1. 1, Yes you can, I ordered mine. I ordered a Cacti Green Activ in July, picked it up in September (paid sticker price for it, $26,850)
      2. That’s the truth with just about every car/truck/suv sold today unless it’s the pricey models.
      3. No, it’s not, at least not where I bought mine. That can vary from dealer to dealer so applying a blanket opinion is inaccurate. See #1.

  8. They aren’t going to replace the LT, they MIGHT offer this as a package like they do on almost every Chevrolet.

  9. So they are selling 3 versions of the blackout fake sporty off road oriented versions. The question is why? Wouldn’t it make more sense to offer the LS and LT with the ugly blackout stuff as an option? There are a lot of people, myself included, that dislike the murdered out black look and want a normal looking version so this will alienate many customers.

    1. It’s the South Korean market Trax, not ours. We would offer the Red Line package as an option on the LT, just like we do now on the Equinox and Traverse. It’s right there in the title of the article. This isn’t an option here on our Trax, but it could be.

  10. It amazes me how many people can’t see the part where it says “….in South Korea”.
