2025 Chevy Trax: Striking Style Meets “Affordable Autumn” Performance

2025 Chevy Trax

Here at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis, we know that style and affordability go hand in hand when it comes to budget-friendly vehicles. The 2025 Chevy Trax symbolizes this philosophy, featuring a bold design and efficient performance that rivals new and used cars. With a fresh redesign, the Trax has been transformed like the sporty Blazer, drawing inspiration from the iconic Camaro. 

With its longer, lower, and wider stance, the new Trax features eye-catching lines and a prominent Chevy bowtie, making every fall excursion a stylish and exhilarating ride! Take in the sights and sounds of Fall during the changing seasons with the awesome hayrides at Bluebird Park on October 3rd, 10th, and 17th! Updated LED lighting, including revamped daytime running lights, enhances its sporty stance. Buyers can choose from various trims, including the affordable LS and LT options, along with two sportier RS variants. 

The LS and LT trims come with 17-inch wheels, while the RS models boast striking 18- and 19-inch options. The new Activ trim stands out with a bold monochromatic look, chrome accents, and a unique rear skid plate. Under the hood, a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine delivers 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Note that all-wheel drive is not available.

Fuel efficiency is one of the Trax’s strong suits, with an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. But the Trax isn’t just about numbers; it offers a surprisingly sharp handling experience that maintains composure on curves. With a longer wheelbase than before, it enhances interior space and ride quality while still being compact enough for city driving.

Inside, the Trax features an 11-inch longer and 2-inch wider cabin, offering three extra inches of rear legroom for improved passenger comfort. Cargo capacity has also increased by 12 percent, making it versatile for families. The rear seats are designed for easy access and comfort, accommodating children and adults.

The front cabin is airy, with plenty of storage and generous space. The LS and 1RS trims come with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, while the LT, 2RS, and Activ models upgrade to an 11-inch display, paired with an 8-inch digital driver information cluster. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and wireless charging is available on select trims.

Interior color options include classic black and gray, with eye-catching red accents on the 2RS and vibrant yellow on the Activ’s Evotex seats. Features like heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard on higher trims, with options for a power sunroof.

The layout is user-friendly, with controls placed for easy access, ensuring most functions require minimal effort. The Evotex seats provide comfort for longer drives, and multiple charging ports keep devices powered. The Trax also offers a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot for internet access.

Safety is a priority in the 2025 Chevy Trax, with standard features like emergency braking, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and a following distance indicator. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, blind zone alert, and rear park assist for added peace of mind.

Overall, the Trax represents great value, appealing to those seeking a stylish yet practical SUV. For drivers in challenging weather, models with all-wheel drive are solid choices, though the front-wheel-drive Trax can handle snowy conditions with care.
