Used Chevrolet Trax: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Chevrolet Trax from 2015 to 2025, across 2 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $8,000 to $22,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2015–2022, 2024–2025.
2024–2025 Chevrolet Trax
A roomy, good-value small SUV with a thrifty turbocharged three-cylinder engine.
Years to target: 2024–2025. It has a strong reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $22,000 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~40,000 |
| 2025 | $22,500 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~25,000 |
Worth knowing
- All-wheel drive is not offered and acceleration is slow, so it suits city driving best.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the LT: it upgrades to the 11-inch touchscreen with wireless phone projection and adds blind-spot monitoring and nicer trim over the LS.
On the test drive
Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from the start of this generation (2024).
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2024, never standard in this generation.

Worth knowing
- It is slow and cramped, and the 1.4-liter turbo shares the Cruze's coolant and PCV issues.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Target an LT from 2017 or newer: the refresh brought Apple CarPlay, and the LT adds a power driver seat, remote start and available blind-spot monitoring over the LS.
