The latest version of Chevrolet’s subcompact SUV is more than just a refresh—it’s a complete reinvention of what a small crossover can be. The 2025 Chevrolet Trax brings big style, confident performance, and a seriously upscale feel to a segment that’s often defined by compromise. Whether you’re running errands, commuting across town, or planning a weekend road trip, the Trax feels right at home with a blend of practicality and refinement that’s tough to beat.

Built on a longer and wider platform than its predecessor, the 2025 Trax now shares dimensions closer to a compact SUV while retaining the easy-to-park agility of a smaller vehicle. The redesigned exterior is sharp and expressive, with bold horizontal lines, slim LED lighting, and a low, wide stance that adds an athletic vibe. The higher-end trims like the RS and ACTIV add extra personality through unique grille finishes, 18 or 19-inch alloy wheels, and exclusive badging—giving the Trax a premium presence despite its accessible price point.

Under the hood, all models are powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged inline-three engine producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, this engine delivers confident acceleration and smooth power delivery ideal for both urban driving and longer highway stretches. While all-wheel drive is not offered, the Trax’s tuned suspension and responsive electric power steering give it a planted feel in corners, with enough feedback to keep driving engaging yet effortless.

Fuel economy is another strong point. According to official Canadian figures, the 2025 Trax achieves 8.5 L/100 km in the city, 7.6 L/100 km on the highway, and 8.1 L/100 km combined. That translates to roughly 617 km of range from its 50-litre fuel tank under ideal driving conditions. Unlike some U.S. versions, the Trax sold here is not compatible with E85 fuel and is engineered specifically to run on regular unleaded gasoline.

Step inside, and the cabin feels like it belongs in a more expensive vehicle. Chevrolet’s latest interior design language brings in a driver-focused dash layout with layered surfaces, sleek air vents, and rich textures. The LS trim comes standard with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen and an 8-inch digital instrument cluster. Higher trims—1RS, LT, 2RS, and ACTIV—upgrade to an 11-inch infotainment display, giving the cabin a more premium, high-tech feel. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are included on most trims, and the infotainment system is intuitive and quick to respond. A wireless charging pad is also available, along with multiple USB ports to keep devices powered on the go.

The rear seat offers impressive legroom for a vehicle in this class, thanks to the extended wheelbase, and cargo space is generous—725 litres behind the second row, expanding to over 1,500 litres with the rear seats folded flat. These dimensions make the Trax surprisingly versatile, easily handling weekend gear, groceries, or luggage for a short getaway.

Safety is a central focus. Every 2025 Trax includes Chevy Safety Assist, a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies: Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams all come standard. Additional features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Park Assist are available on upper trims for even greater peace of mind.

Other thoughtful touches include available heated front seats and steering wheel, remote start on select trims, and a spacious centre console with deep storage. The elevated driving position gives a clear view of the road, while the low beltline and large windows help improve visibility—a huge benefit when parking or navigating tight city streets.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a downsizer looking for more efficiency, or simply someone who values modern design and useful technology, the 2025 Chevrolet Trax offers an ideal balance of comfort, capability, and value. With its smart combination of features, space, and style, it’s a small SUV that delivers in all the right ways.
