In my recent review of the 2022 Trailblazer, I happen to call the Trax a “potato on stilts.” Seems Chevrolet’s realized that their smallest crossover needed a glow-up and so, here it is: the all-new, re-imagined 2024 Trax. Known as the Seeker in China, the 2024 Trax gets the same sort of muscular styling pioneered by Chevrolet’s Blazer. At the front, the use of horizontal lines emphasizes width complete with LED lighting elements. It also sits 101 mm lower than the current model giving it a stronger profile. Wheel sizes range from 16s to 18s. The platform, Chevrolet says is all new and it stretches the Trax’s wheelbase by some 152 mm. This results in a much larger interior room—up 279 mm in length and 51 mm in width—compared to its predecessor. Rear legroom alone has grown some 76 mm, while cargo volume is up nearly 12 percent. The enlarged interior volume is complemented by the new design which is centered around giving a “lightweight feel” for a sense of airiness. The instrument panel cowl has been lowered and together with other Chevrolet “performance” design cues like the rounded air vents make it look sportier. When it comes to safety, coming in as standard are automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and automatic high beams. Other functionalities such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot indicators, and rear parking assist are optional extras. Chevrolet says the all-new Trax is set to go on sale in North America by early 2023. Given that Chevy Philippines has already brought in the China-sourced Tracker for the local market, it makes sense for them to fill in the gap between the Tracker and Trailblazer with the Trax/Seeker. Of course, it’s just a matter of what it will be called when it gets here.
