2025 Chevrolet Trax: Features, specs, & performance

Just because the Trax is affordable doesn’t mean it’s cheap. When compared with other comparable subcompact SUVs, the 2025 Trax holds its own in terms of functionality and performance. Here’s a rundown of the configurations of the 2025 Chevrolet Trax. 

Dimensions	179″ L x 72″ W x 61-62″ H
Gas mileage	28 mpg city / 31 highway
Engine	1.2-L three-cylinder
Horsepower	137 hp
Transmission	6-speed automatic

Powertrain & performance

The 2025 Chevrolet Trax runs on a 1.2-L inline-three cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. This powertrain produces 137 horsepower. This powertrain has surprisingly car-like handling, providing a far more agile experience than rival subcompact SUVs. 

In terms of acceleration, the Trax can hit 60 mph in 8.8 seconds, which is right on track for this vehicle segment. 

Fuel economy

According to the EPA, the 2025 Chevrolet Trax has a gas mileage of 28 mpg city, 31 highway, and 29 combined. 

Interior features

The interior of the new Chevy Trax has plenty of space for drivers and passengers. The new model has a longer wheelbase than previous iterations, which gives both extra legroom and cargo space. Depending on which trim level you choose, you might end up with high-tech features like remote start, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and sunroof. 

Infotainment & connectivity

For the LS and 1RS trim levels, there’s a 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, which is larger than even the higher-end Traxes offered in previous years. From the LT trims and up, this gets upgraded to a 11.0-inch infotainment system paired with an 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster. 

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and wireless phone charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot are available add-ons. 

Safety features

For every Trax, the Chevy Safety Assist driver-assistant suite comes standard. This package includes automatic high-beam headlights, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and a following distance indicator. Adaptive cruise control is available as an add-on. 

Warranty & maintenance coverage

Chevrolet offers a limited warranty covering three years or 36,000 miles, and a powertrain warranty covering five years or 60,000 miles. Complimentary Chevy maintenance is covered for the first visit. If you’re in the Rockford, Illinois, area, you can get that taken care of at Lou Bachrodt Chevy’s Service Department.
