The Trax is a new model, just added to Chevy’s lineup. The Trax can also be cross-shopped against pint-sized “box” cars like the popular – and even cheaper – Kia Soul (base price $15,190) and the Scion xB (base price $17,120) but neither of these models offer an all-wheel-drive option. rivals like the new Honda HR-V, which stickers for $23,215 when ordered with AWD (at the time of this review, Mazda hadn’t yet released pricing for the ’16 CX-3, so we’ll have to wait and see).

It’s about two feet shorter overall than the compact-sized Chevy Equinox, which until now was the smallest Chevy crossover available.

The Trax is Chevy’s latest – and littlest crossover SUV. Same basic concept – updated to meet the requirements of our federales.
