Plus, front track width and vehicle height are basically 1:1 on lower trim levels. While the Trax may only be about 1.5 inches shorter than a Mazda CX-5, it features a roofline some four inches lower. While GM has taken great pains to apply a dab of plastic cladding, pinch the greenhouse and take press photos from low angles, the actual proportions tell a different story. The new 2024 Chevrolet Trax is one of those rare vehicles that’s trying to pull off a reverse catfish. ![]() Needless to say, I flew to Asheville, N.C. ![]() That’s certainly ambitious, but it will only pan out if the Trax is actually good. As a result, Chevrolet is expecting huge volume, predicting that the new Trax will be its third-best-selling model behind Silverado and Equinox come 2024. What’s more, this Korean-built crossover is surprisingly big – almost as long as a Mazda CX-5 or Toyota RAV4. That’s what a base 2024 Chevrolet Trax LS pictured above costs including a $1,095 freight charge ($23,699 including a $2,000 freight charge in Canada), which in this age of premium everything, qualifies as dirt cheap. Why? It’s as simple as one headline figure: $21,495. The 2024 Chevrolet Trax is a regular-ass car, and it’s about to be absolutely everywhere. Sure, a soft-touch interior for a soft-touch life sounds brilliant, but only until you remember that the average American can maybe cough up twenty dollars as a down payment. When was the last time a marque launched a regular-ass car? Not to be confused with a regular ass-car (any BMW sedan prior to Chris Bangle), a regular-ass car eschews premium aspirations for affordability. ![]()
