2025 Chevy Trax

Chevy offers the 2025 Trax in five thoughtfully distinct trims, each with its own personality and purpose. The LS opens the lineup with a clean, minimalist exterior featuring LED headlamps, 17-inch steel wheels with covers, and key essentials like push-button start. It’s tailored for those who want smart design without distractions. The 1RS adds flair with 18-inch black wheels, black bowtie emblems, and a sportier front fascia that appeals to younger drivers or anyone seeking an athletic edge. Inside, red accents subtly reinforce the dynamic vibe. The LT refines the look further with upgraded 17-inch wheels, body-color mirror caps, roof rails, and a larger 11-inch touchscreen—bringing a premium polish to everyday practicality. Step up to the 2RS, and you’ll find a bolder aesthetic with 19-inch wheels, a unique mesh grille, and even more aggressive design cues. It’s ideal for drivers who want their SUV to turn heads on every street in Cut Off. At the top of the range, the Activ embraces a rugged-luxe persona with titanium-chrome exterior accents, a unique monochromatic grille, and an elevated stance that nods to adventurous intent—perfect for weekend treks to Grand Isle or along Bayou Lafourche.

Under every 2025 Trax hood is a turbocharged 1.2L ECOTEC engine. While compact, it’s surprisingly robust—delivering 137 hp and a strong 162 lbs.-ft. of torque. This engine is mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission, tuned for effortless low-end torque and everyday drivability. Unlike many subcompact crossovers, the Trax doesn’t need to be revved to feel responsive; the turbocharger kicks in early, giving it a punchy, agile feel ideal for short merges or brisk overtakes on local roads.

On the road, the 2025 Trax surprises with its poise. Its lightweight construction, paired with that torquey turbocharged engine, offers a sprightly, engaging drive. While it’s not tuned for canyon carving, the steering is sharp and accurate, making it easy to weave through traffic or confidently handle narrow coastal lanes. Chevrolet has calibrated the suspension for comfort over Louisiana’s varied terrain, with MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam in the rear that handles potholes and uneven surfaces with finesse. Front-wheel drive is standard across the lineup, as Chevrolet has streamlined the powertrain offerings for efficiency and simplicity. Still, despite its front-drive layout, the Trax maintains excellent road manners even in poor weather, aided by traction control and electronic stability systems. Drivers can expect an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined—28 city and 32 highway.

Step inside the Trax, and you’ll find a cabin that’s both inviting and well-laid-out. The Trax has seating for 5-passengers, with premium cloth seating is standard, with leatherette available in higher trims. The front seats cradle comfortably, offering adjustments to keep you fresh on runs to Golden Motors or longer trips across Cajun Country. Rear passengers enjoy generous legroom, and folding the rear seats flat reveals a spacious 54.10 cu. ft. cargo bay ready for weekend getaways—or hauling crawfish gear from local markets. At the center of it all is Chevrolet’s intuitive infotainment suite, anchored by a 7inch touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and available incar WiFi. Commuters will appreciate features like a rearview camera, heated front seats (on select trims), and a smart trizone climate system—perfect for adjusting comfort whether the humid Gulf breeze rolls in or the AC runs during outdoor festivals.

Safety takes center stage with the Trax’s advanced driver-assistance package. Standard on all trims are Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert—technologies that proactively help prevent accidents. For families on the bayou, Teen Driver Technology provides coaching and performance monitoring, while the OnStar Safety & Security Plan offers peace of mind with emergency services and roadside assistance. Chevy’s high-strength structure and multiple airbags round out a protective experience that’s reassuring through every Louisiana season.
