We all know how enjoyable it can be to own a vehicle—having the freedom to get out and hit the road whenever you want and the sense of security that such independence brings. It’s easy to sell a vehicle on romantic ideas because we all like focusing on the fun stuff, but there’s another big part of owning a vehicle: the ability to get your job done. For some people, that means a powerful truck, but for others, it comes down to a great car or SUV that can get you through your commute each day. Even better is a vehicle that actually helps you to enjoy your time on the road, even when it’s taking you to work on Monday morning.

That’s exactly what the Chevy Trax is all about—and for the 2024 model year, it’s better than ever with a redesign that reimagines what this compact SUV can be. As your Chevy dealer in Plymouth, we thought it would be fun to take a moment and check out a little bit of what the thoroughly updated Trax has to offer. The Chevy Trax is the perfect commuter vehicle for living in Plymouth, providing you with efficient performance, terrific features inside, and safety technology designed to keep you and your loved ones safe. Let’s take a closer look at the 2024 Trax and check out everything it brings to the road…

Sporty, Efficient Performance

It doesn’t matter what kind of vehicle you’re looking for or why you need it; the most important thing is how it drives. Aside from everything else, you deserve to have a good time on the road—yes, even when you’re just going to and from work each day. This is something Chevy understands better than just about everyone else, and you can see this perfectly with the updated Trax and the impressive engine they’ve put in it. This compact SUV features a 1.2L Turbo engine that delivers 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, making it incredibly fun and rewarding to drive.

Sporty power is great and helps make your drive more enjoyable, but that’s not the only thing that matters with a daily driver (or necessarily the most important aspect of performance). You want something that lets you get to work or run errands around Plymouth and get home without any hassle, which means as few stops for gas as possible. The 2024 Chevy Trax gets an estimated 28 MPG in the city, 32 MPG on the highway, and 30 MPG of combined fuel economy. This means you can take care of business and handle the things that matter most to you with minimal interruption to your routine. Plus, it helps keep your overall gas budget down, which is always helpful as the cost of living seems to keep going up year after year.

Plenty of Room Inside

One of the reasons many of us choose a great SUV is for how spacious and functional it is inside—even a compact model like this one. The 2024 Chevy Trax has been redesigned and improved in numerous ways, including how the interior is configured and set up. For starters, Chevy has made it slightly larger overall, with a wider track and a wheelbase that’s about six inches longer than last year’s model. Not only that, but they’ve approached its interior differently, utilizing the eleven-inch increase in length and about two inches of increased width to make a roomier and more spacious interior that’s more comfortable and functional than ever before.

This translates into you getting nearly 40 inches of headroom and almost 42 inches of legroom up front, along with more than 38 inches of headroom and legroom for your rear-seat passengers. While the Trax is a compact SUV with seating for up to five passengers inside, the redesign helps ensure you and everyone else are as comfortable as possible. You also get more than 25 cu.ft. of rear cargo space to take advantage of, giving you more room for the stuff you need to bring along with you, plus more than 54 cu.ft. of total cargo volume behind the front seats. Whether you need space for bags while running errands or plan on carpooling into Detroit with coworkers each day, the Trax has you covered.

Innovative Cabin Tech

As you’re looking for your next car, it’s surprisingly easy to overlook important things and focus on other matters that might affect you a bit less on a daily basis. Comfort and tech features, for example, frequently take a backseat to other options, but these are the things that we hear people wish they had focused on more with a previous vehicle. You want something you’ll enjoy driving each day, and that often comes down to comfortable seating, interior climate controls, and impressive tech that make your drive as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Chevy gets this, and the all-new Trax is the perfect illustration of that.

Looking at the Trax 2RS as a great example of this, we find a stunning 11.0-inch HD color touchscreen for the infotainment system with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This is joined by a six-speaker sound system that’s great for such a small SUV; plus, you get an 8.0-inch Driver Information Center that looks fantastic and makes it easy to keep track of the information you need. The 2RS has heated front seats that are perfect for cold winter mornings in Plymouth, along with a heated steering wheel; keyless open and remote start are also included with this trim level, making it easier to hit the road each day. Add in some available extras like a power sunroof and a wireless charging pad for compatible devices, and you’ve got a vehicle that can have you looking forward to your commute each day.

Advanced Safety Features

Just as important as enjoying your drive each day is getting to work (and home) safely, which is why we love the selection of standard and available safety features on the 2024 Trax. Every trim comes with the Chevy Safety Assist suite of features that includes a Forward Collision Alert to warn you about a potential collision and Automatic Emergency Braking with Front Pedestrian Braking to help you avoid collisions. You also get a Following Distance Indicator to warn you when you are too close to the vehicle ahead of you.

This package includes Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning that helps let you know if you seem to be drifting from your lane, along with IntelliBeam auto high beam control to switch off your high beams when oncoming traffic is detected. If you’re looking to elevate your safety even further, then you can get some available options like Adaptive Cruise Control, which adjusts your speed for you while using cruise control to make your commute less of a hassle. You can even get a Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert to help keep you safer in heavy traffic around Detroit.

Elegant Design for Everyday Driving

At the end of the day, the 2024 Chevy Trax looks better than ever, thanks to a longer and wider design that feels bolder and more powerful than before—and it drives better than ever, too. Everything Chevy has done with the Trax this year has elevated it to the next level: it drives beautifully, it’s incredibly efficient, and it has gorgeous features inside and out. Going through your daily commute isn’t something a lot of people look forward to, but with the right vehicle, it can become much more enjoyable. Plus, that same vehicle can be perfect for enjoying your days off, going on road trips, or handling anything else you need. That’s why it’s so important that you pick the right ride—something like the 2024 Trax.
