What Engine Comes in the 2025 Chevrolet Trax?

The 2025 Trax features a 1.2L 4-cylinder turbo engine across all trim levels. This ECOTEC turbocharged engine delivers a responsive driving experience while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. The turbo design provides the power you need for city driving and highway merging, yet keeps your fuel costs manageable with an estimated consumption of 8.5 L/100 km in the city and 7.6 L/100 km on the highway.

The engine pairs with front-wheel drive as standard across all Trax models, focusing on efficiency and practicality for everyday driving needs.

How Much Cargo and Passenger Space Does the Trax Offer?

Despite its compact exterior, the Trax maximizes interior space remarkably well. You'll find comfortable seating for up to five passengers, with generous legroom that belies the vehicle's smaller footprint. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats add flexibility when you need to carry larger items.

For cargo, the Trax really shines with up to 1,531 litres of maximum cargo space when the rear seats are folded down. This gives you plenty of room for weekend getaways, shopping trips, or moving day essentials. Even with all seats in use, there's ample space for groceries and daily necessities.

What are the Key Differences Between the Trax Trim Levels?

The 2025 Trax lineup offers five distinct trim levels, each building on the previous one:

LS (Base Trim) includes remote start, 17-inch silver aluminum wheels, wireless smartphone integration, active noise cancellation, and standard Chevrolet Safety Assist.

1RS adds sporty RS styling with unique grille and badging, black bowtie emblems, 18-inch black machined aluminum wheels, heated flat-bottom steering wheel, and additional safety features like lane change alert and rear park assist.

LT features 17-inch grey two-tone wheels, an 11-inch colour touchscreen, 8-inch driver information centre, adaptive cruise control, and enhanced safety technologies.

2RS builds on LT with distinctive RS exterior styling, 19-inch black two-tone wheels, jet black seats with red accents, red interior trim, and heated flat-bottom steering wheel.

ACTIV offers adventure-ready styling with black grille and titanium chrome accents, 18-inch black aluminum wheels, unique interior accents, Evotex seat trim, and an 8-way power driver seat with lumbar support.

Yes, fuel efficiency is one of the Trax's strongest selling points. The 1.2L turbo engine achieves an estimated 8.5 L/100 km in city driving and 7.6 L/100 km on the highway. These numbers make the Trax an excellent choice for daily commuters and budget-conscious drivers who don't want to sacrifice features for efficiency.

The turbo design helps the engine work smarter, delivering power when you need it while maintaining economy during regular driving. This makes the Trax particularly well-suited for stop-and-go city traffic and longer highway drives around southern Ontario.

What Standard Technology and Safety Features are Included?

Every Trax trim includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, letting you easily connect your smartphone for navigation, music, and hands-free calling. All models also feature remote start, perfect for Ontario's varied weather conditions.

Safety comes standard with Chevrolet Safety Assist, a comprehensive suite that includes:

  • Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Front Pedestrian Braking
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
  • Following Distance Indicator
  • IntelliBeam Auto High Beams

Higher trims add features like adaptive cruise control, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, and rear park assist, giving you extra confidence on busy GTA roads.
