Engine, transmission and drivetrain
The Trax is built for economical daily driving rather than speed. The small turbo engine delivers its peak torque at about 5,000 rpm and sends power to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic.
Chevrolet does not offer all-wheel drive on the Trax. If you want AWD in a small Chevrolet, see our answer to whether the Chevrolet Trax is AWD. The 2025 Trax is also not rated for towing.
Fuel economy
Canadian listings give 8.0 to 8.1 L/100 km depending on trim, and the US EPA rating is 28 city, 32 highway and 30 combined mpg. Confirm the official figure for your trim in the Natural Resources Canada fuel consumption guide.
The fuel tank holds 13.2 US gallons (about 50 L) and the engine runs on regular unleaded.

Trims
The 2025 Trax comes in LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS and ACTIV trims. All share the same engine and transmission, so the differences are wheels, styling and equipment, including an available 11-inch touchscreen. For the entry model, see our 2025 Chevrolet Trax LS specs. Prices change often, so check a Canadian Chevrolet dealer for current pricing.
Who should consider the Trax?
- City commuters and first-time buyers: small footprint and a low running cost.
- Drivers who need AWD or towing: look at a larger model, as the Trax cannot do either.
- Safety-minded buyers: review the IIHS ratings for the exact model year and trim before you decide.
