Comments
$30K for a Trax is a terrible value, BUT when fully loaded with the most common options it’s closer to $27K. Fine, if you can find a $4K discount but good luck with that lately. I’d take a $29K Trailblazer that goes for $23K instead. Bigger engine and more goodies…
On the Trail:
I agree.
Plus, it also has a serviceable trans, besides available AWD -for those who need it.
Serviceable transmission.
Please explain.
Whether it’s 1.2 or 1.3 liters, it’s still a three-banger and in a slightly larger vehicle. Will it really matter?
The article is trying to say without directly saying that in comparison to other vehicles in the Trax’s segment equipped the same way fully loaded, you’re looking at likely around $35-45K and possibly higher for those other models. No subcompact crossover is worth that much, even a hybrid or an AWD one.
Go for the LS with the heated seats, aluminum wheels and remote start and you have everything you need. Be cool if a 5-speed stick were available.
Oh yeah. Any trim w/o roof racks. Ugly.
Still no optional audio system such as JBL or Bose, etc, for the upper levels of the Trax.
Would I void whatever warranty if I added a powered subwoofer to the 2TS version?
Peace! 🙏♐
Typo: the 2RS version!
Crappy parts and software glitches and all the time at the dealer without having the car makes it a loser.
Are you speaking from direct experience? My 2024 Trax Activ has been a flawless companion.
