I don't understand why they bother with those. Isn't cheaper with a digital screen? Those mechanical gauges are still connected to all electronics. Doesn't reduce costs to put the same screen in every vehicle instead of producing separate parts?
I just got my Trax yesterday. I can’t believe it starts at only 21,495. If you didn’t tell me I would’ve thought it was a 35-40k vehicle. It’s drives so smooth, turning is very precise, the ride quality is phenomenal, cabin is very quiet, best 4 speaker system I have ever heard. I would recommend 10000%
I drove a 1RS for an afternoon in the city and on the freeway and thought it was great! It is very peppy for a 1.2L turbo and it handles nicely too. The six-speed auto is very smooth, better for around town than a dual-clutch tranny. I am a car guy, having restored multiple cars over the years and have had my 1982 Lancia Zagato with collector car plates for over a decade now. I wish it had a push-button start because that is what my wife wants and think a Trax would be a nice change for her. It has a great stance too, nice and high so no worries about scraping the front end on a high cement curb when parking. The four-speaker stereo is "okay" but I wish it was better. My wife's current car is a 2011 VW Golf TDI and it has an amazing stereo with 8 speakers. It does NOT have the Dynaudio upgrade but still sounds amazing and miles better than the Trax. I know the 2RS has a six-speaker system but I'm not sure if it sounds any better because I have not heard it. Don't misunderstand, the 4 speaker system in the 1RS is fine, just nothing special. I work part-time as a recording studio engineer and producer so I often listen to songs that I am in the middle of mixing while I am in my car which is why it is important to me. My wife would think it sounds just fine. As for the old-style tach and speedo, I like it! I think it is very RS in nature 😎 much more so than a digital dash. The IRS I drove also had the Driver Confidence package and the sunroof option making it one nice ride! Loved the red accents inside and out as well, very sporty looking. I am pretty sure I'll be getting one. I just have to convince myself that the decrease in power and fuel economy over the TDI will be worth it. All my wife wants is a new car, lol. Oh and I think it looks great too! 😀
Bought a 1RS in Cactus today, waiting for delivery! Very excited - i had a Spark which i loved but was just written off - as a replacement 'entry level' this seems quite the upgrade.
I am so impressed with this new model of Trax until I saw a video of a mechanic reviewing this car. The major setback for this Trax is that the timing belt is built inside the engine, not outside. Meaning you will have to open the entire engine assembly just to get to replace the timing belt, and when the cover is removed, you have to buy a new one as it is a one-time use only. He also mentioned that there is a part you have to remove to get to the battery, which makes it inconvenient just to jump or perhaps replace it. All other negative reviews are of lesser value that it is sluggish a bit when picking up speed, seats are not automatic, side door fixtures are pure plastics with no cushions, or rear hatch is manual. Perhaps, you cannot expect more than what Trax offers to consumers for the amazing lowprice, but under-the-hood issues are a bit concerning.
IMO: The 1RS has the most authenticity pleasing trim combinations. The interior black and red trim matches the black and red gauges, and the outside black trim looks great with any other color options - plus the black bowties. I looked at the Active and LT, but the yellow trim and blue trim, respectively, drove me crazy.
@@TeezyWUN I have to be honest; the analog gauges were a selling point for me. I like them over the digital gauges, but I am aware that's only a personal preference. The red needles match the trim better than the blue hues of the digital screen. My OCD made my buying decisions. LOL
I just got my Chevy Trax 1RS a couple weeks ago; I love it! 10/10, but if I had a little extra money saved up, I would shoot for the LT. Overall a great experience and I think you'll be happy either way!
This 1RS model is really growing on me and seems to be a fantastic value. The 1RS also has my favorite wheel/tire combination. I would get it with the driver confidence package.
I was so impressed with the Trax that I took the 1rs in all black with the same wheels on this one. I'm loving it. I came from a 2019 ford escape 1.5L that had the coolant intrusion issue
If it was me, that is the exact car, mosel and color I would buy in a heartbeat. I sort of regret buying a new Chevrolet Spark Activ last year. But you are making me fall in love all over again ❤ and worse with this Trax video!
We bought a Spark 18 months ago - can't lie, we've been very happy with it and it looked sharp in two-tone black and white roof and white trim. Considering it was only a Spark, it actually turned heads. BUT the wife was increasingly frustrated only 2 rear seats. It got written off in the Nova Scotia floods a couple of weeks ago so we're replacing with a 1RS + Sunroof package. I'm really happy to be able to replace it with something that looks this good, so cheaply.
If I had to choose right now, I would go with the LT model with all 3 packages and the blue accent interior. The 1RS looks terrific, but lacking too many bells and whistles of the higher trims. I love the tire/wheel combo of the 1RS, they look great. It is unfortunate that the better equipped 2RS is not available with that same wheel and tire combination. I live in southeast Michigan where we have a lot of roads in poor condition, and the skinny tires of the 2RS deeply concern me.
I went for 1RS rather than 2RS because as you say the tires/wheels look better, the extras on the 2RS arent things I'm too excited about but also the wife likes cloth seats and she'll be the main driver. The only thing I am bothered about is a sunroof and that's an option on the 1RS anyway.
@@philtabor5826what are the extras on the 2rs vs 1rs? Push button start & wheels? How are the door armrests and center console arm rest? Hoping they are not hard plastic.
picked the same (1RS, black) model up a week ago ,and so far loving it. Just got the front windows tinted yesterday and I have to say... it is uniform and very sleek. My 15 RAM bit the dust so i was looking used because vehicles are expensive these days, and rolled across these in my search and was blown away at the price.. the small tank was kind of a hang up for me ,as i filled it up on day at lunch and the next day it was a quarter of a tank down around lunch time... i was alarmed at how fast it appeared to drink gas, but i realized the distance to the next fill up is true... so don't let the gas gage freak you out like it did me.. its going a long way on that little tank, average about 25mpg.
Hey, I've seen a few reports of people complaining that the AC does NOT TURN ON when using remote start, specifically it seems to be an issue with 1RS or LS (lower trims) those trims do not have push-start or automatic climante control... the models that have push-start / automatic climate control (I think LT / 2RS / Activ) seem to work ok. Is it possible to confirm this? Not sure if this is the intended behaviour or a bug, but essentially not having the AC or Heat turn on when using remote start pretty much completely defeats the purpose of remote start and is a big flaw with these models imho.
@@brycemccallum3033 are you 100% sure of this? Have you tested it for Cooling and Heating? Some people who have the 1RS say that if you remote start the car, the car will blow air, but its just going to be air, the AC isnt actually cooling... its just fan mode... until you insert the key, once the key is inserted then the AC will kick in... so you might think that the ac is working because you get in the car and you hear the fans going on, but its not actually cooling... its not clear if this is an issue for everyone or just some, if its intended or not...
Dave, great demonstration of the RS model. It is very nice looking. I love when you do a walk-around of various models. I really loved the video when you compared the various levels of the Traverse.
I have ordered a 1RS TRAX in Sterling. My MSRP here in Canada was $ 23694 in Cdn $ or $ 17451 US dollars at current exchange rate. Now awaiting delivery
Nice quick review without needlessly reciting each and every spec. I'm liking the thought of a Nitro Yellow 1RS w/sunroof. But if the deal works out more in my favor, an active might be in order.
My ideal Trax would be a 1RS due to the analog gauges, manual climate control and flip key, but add the 2RS upholstery and tire/wheel package, adaptive cruise control and the power driver’s seat from the Activ. I can dream, can’t I?
Adaptive cruise just makes an alignment more expensive. We have this feature on our VW Atlas, and an alignment job is 300 bucks instead of a regular 100, because they need to recalibrate a bunch of shit. Turned that crap off. All those gadgets are useless and cost more for nothing.
I guess the 1RS trim level doesn’t come with a rear cargo cover. I would want that. Hopefully it’s available. Otherwise, the 1RS is the perfect car for today’s times.
Good feature are keyless start, this car has good wheel rim, digital system no old school analog gauges etç. No need sunroof. Activ trim is good but don't need sunroof and need rim like 1 RS.
We love the look of the new trax and the sizing as well as the features. Considering trading our 2017 GMC Acadia for a Trax, just not 100% sure we can live with the size difference and we’d not have AWD. 2 boys 4 and 7 and a bigger dog. If she could fit in the cargo area that would be amazing! Are we crazy for considering? Might look at a 1RS trax tomorrow. We’ve needed AWD 1 time since we’ve owned the Acadia.
Have to give you credit: you are good with these reviews. You possibly sell more trax and trail blazers in this segmet where you are at. Dealer School will always tell you up sell from base models and brands. The powertrain reliability is the question here. Definitely make want to try the Trax over the Crosstrek, Kicks, and HRV especially for the price.
I regret buying this car the 25 1Rs model same color same everything 😢 my car ac had a leak recently with less than 1k miles on it now it’s at the shop and let me tell you the 2RS is outstanding I’m driving it as my car rental until mines get fixed and I’m far impressed big screens leather seats sun roof push button start the 1rs is basically the LS model with just few tweaks remote start and the nice 18” wheels and the RS logo will trade this car in next year 😊
How's shoulder space in the front seats, I had a Saturn Vue years ago that had tons of head and legroom but it was narrow and the B pillar tended to rub my shoulder
I honestly dont like the color interior accents. Unless you are going with the same color on the exterior it doesnt match. Also having no armrest or cupholders in the back is very strange.
It's an economy car. They have to keep a lid on certain things in order to sell it that cheap, but I'm also sure that those extras aren't that pricey when you build thousands of those.
Hey Dave - when you do remote start for this model, how do you go into drive mode? Do you just put the key in, or do you have to turn the car off and restart?
It's certainly a bargain at $23K, but I'd go for a couple of the convenience options for a little bit more money. I'd also want it in something other than plain white. To me, the color of the badging (black vs. gold) & the mirror cap color are really insignificant. I like the cloth seat pattern, but I'd like heated seats & blind zone alert, thankyouverymuch!
Blind zone control? Fuck that!!!! Extra electronics to complicate shit and potential problems. Turn your head before changing lane and all those monitoring devices aren't needed. But, to each his own. 😀
I didn't know that this vehicule existed until a few days ago. I wanted to get a used car within the next few months but the Trax 1RS not only fits my budget but also looks great! My local Chevrolet dealer here in Canada will receive them in about a month and a half. Is it around the same size as the Trail?
@@zachlyyyy69 Why would you do that? With current used car prices, you can buy one of these, drive it for a couple years and trade it in for almost what you paid for it. It's like driving for free.
the Chinese Seeker wich is the same has the Trax has a power liftgate option along with many more options and the 1.5 turbo 4 Cylinders but it has a CVT
So far I have had one with a wifi issue.. Everything works fine except for the wireless carplay.. Client has to plug in for now. New radio should be here end of this month
The Chevy seeker that is available worldwide has a lot more features. Cannot quite understand why Chevy does this. The Chevy seeker also comes with cold seats and a power liftgate.
Hey Sir! This is Cherry from Coverado selling car accessories. Nice to meet you! We are now looking for some partners to try our seat covers or wireless carplay adapter. Are you interested in collaborating with us?🥰
So they all have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The wireless charging is only available in the LT, 2RS, Activ when the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof
Love the Trax, but I would be spending the extra money to bump it up to the 2RS or Activ if for nothing more than the bigger screen and to get rid of those cheesy looking seats that should have been left in 1989. I love cloth seats, actually prefer them over leather, but that pattern just looks terrible and detracts from what is otherwise a phenomenal vehicle for the price.
They have already been on sale for a couple years in China 🇨🇳(Chevy seeker). I bet they have worked a lot of the typical new model bugs out of the system by now.
always undercoat here on the east coast of canada...otherwise surviving 10 years is a pipe dream.. use a reputable company. rust check or crown........ just like regular maintenance to us.
Why would I want to go to a Gas powered vehicle. Come on GM, bring out the Chevy Equinox EV models and tell us what the final pricings will be????? I already have a good gas vehicle - Chevy Monte Carlo. Don't need another one. Looking at the other comments, I see you don't comment on EV questions, so don't expect to hear anything on my comment/question. Bye!!!!
95% of buyers still opt for a gas car. Why would any car company ignore that? There is enough noise about EVs, People will buy what suits them. We have BOLT EUV and a VW ATLAS SE, because that's what works for us.
It’s actually refreshing to see a new car with a nice set of analog gauges.
I don't understand why they bother with those. Isn't cheaper with a digital screen? Those mechanical gauges are still connected to all electronics. Doesn't reduce costs to put the same screen in every vehicle instead of producing separate parts?

The Buick version has an available power lift gate as well as longer warranty.
This Trax RS looks a lot like the Bolt EUV can you compare the two?

@@bornoncentral4485 because I don’t always need to newest model. Paying it off and not have a car payment every month is so important
@@bmw803 Forever no, but it is going to go on for a while. Rental fleets are still short cars.
Just like the Maverick, Trax is going to be a game changer. GM can't keep up with the demand.
the Chinese Seeker wich is the same has the Trax has a power liftgate option along with many more options and the 1.5 turbo 4 Cylinders but it has a CVT
I ordered a yellow 2RS. Can’t wait for it to come in!
What does the L gear do on the shifter? never saw that before
Most likely low gear that only operates in first and second gear.
@@jeffreynowak1294 Manual Mode
That rear hatch inside covering is probably the same one for the buick and I'm sure they have the power closing gate option
Good point 👍
Trax does not have automatic tailgate option
@@leekissel6151 they have rear AC vent & automatic tailgate on Korean models, but i don't know why GM decided to exclude those on the US models.
@samc7837 oh interesting
@@samc7837because we’re not worthy. Lol
Hey Dave, does the RS come with BSM?
Optional
Is it a 3 cylinder or 4.
The ones they ship to the USA are 3. In china 🇨🇳 you can get a 4 cylinder.
I drive 50,000 miles a year. Will the weak engine be a problem? Will it burn out in 5 years?
Wait, I'm looking at the same vehicle for 24,090k.
Lots of complaints and problems with the infotainment in the Facebook group of current owners. Freezing, no display, and other hangups.
So far I have had one with a wifi issue.. Everything works fine except for the wireless carplay.. Client has to plug in for now. New radio should be here end of this month
Ditto with my 2024 Buick Encore with the same new Infotainment system. I luvvv the car but these display issues are driving me nuts!
Thought some Trax’s have the 1.4L, 4 cylinder’s too.
Prior generation
The Chevy seeker that is available worldwide has a lot more features. Cannot quite understand why Chevy does this. The Chevy seeker also comes with cold seats and a power liftgate.
1 RS
Hey Sir! This is Cherry from Coverado selling car accessories. Nice to meet you!
We are now looking for some partners to try our seat covers or wireless carplay adapter.
Are you interested in collaborating with us?🥰
wish it was awd
Born and raised a Chevy guy. Unfortunately, my 14 Cruze and 13 Silverado cured me of that! Junk!
What was wrong with each car
I had a 2014 Cruze.. Great car in my experience.
Sporty car that normal people can afford, genius.
I am leaning toward a Trailblazer, but if I were to consider a Trax I’d probably go with the Activ. I also want to check out the Buick version
All 3 are made in South Korea so they should have similar build quality.
Any release date on blazer or equinox Evs?
Great vehicle for a young college student!
Retirees too. Everything seems OK with this car, except that tiny engine is what scares me.
2RS for me.
I was told the 2024 Trax did NOT have wireless charging !!!
Scratch that ,upon review i see it does
So they all have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The wireless charging is only available in the LT, 2RS, Activ when the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof
What’s the latest news you are hearing for 2024 Tahoe previews and production?
Bargain of the year. I like what I’m seeing with GM’s new SUV’s.
Only 3 cylinders? No thanks!
Love the Trax, but I would be spending the extra money to bump it up to the 2RS or Activ if for nothing more than the bigger screen and to get rid of those cheesy looking seats that should have been left in 1989. I love cloth seats, actually prefer them over leather, but that pattern just looks terrible and detracts from what is otherwise a phenomenal vehicle for the price.
Everybody has different tastes. I really likes the seats.
Can't wait to see these all rusted out in 10 years puttering around small town USA for $3,000 a pop.
They have already been on sale for a couple years in China 🇨🇳(Chevy seeker). I bet they have worked a lot of the typical new model bugs out of the system by now.
Then rust proof it before winter and it won't rust. And that goes for any vehicle.
always undercoat here on the east coast of canada...otherwise surviving 10 years is a pipe dream.. use a reputable company. rust check or crown........ just like regular maintenance to us.
Thanks for sharing, No i would not consider this car. Seems to me not well made.
No shark fin antenna, that’s an automatic no for me.
That's all you got?
Why would I want to go to a Gas powered vehicle. Come on GM, bring out the Chevy Equinox EV models and tell us what the final pricings will be?????
I already have a good gas vehicle - Chevy Monte Carlo. Don't need another one.
Looking at the other comments, I see you don't comment on EV questions, so don't expect to hear anything on my comment/question.
Bye!!!!
95% of buyers still opt for a gas car. Why would any car company ignore that? There is enough noise about EVs, People will buy what suits them. We have BOLT EUV and a VW ATLAS SE, because that's what works for us.
The 1RS is only 19,000 USD where I am in Canada
