Expert 2019 Chevrolet Trax review

our expert's take
Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors
Full article
our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Chevrolet Trax?

The 2019 Chevrolet Trax is a subcompact crossover SUV that can seat up to five people. It's powered by a 138-horsepower, turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that drives a six-speed automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel-drive models are available. Competitors include the Kia Soul, Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V.

What's New on the 2019 Chevrolet Trax?

There are no significant changes this year.

What Features in the 2019 Chevrolet Trax Are Most Important?

The standard 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, and 4G LTE connectivity with a Wi-Fi hot spot (data subscription required after initial trial period) can help you stay connected on the go. A 60/40-split folding backseat and a fold-flat front passenger seat enable the Trax to carry items up to 8 feet long inside the cabin. Available active safety features include blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning and lane departure warning.

Should I Buy the 2019 Chevrolet Trax?

The Trax offers good visibility, a tall seating position and it rides well, but you have to put up with its weak, noisy engine. A lack of advanced safety features on lower trim levels isn't great, either.

    I’ve had my 2019 trax 52k miles for almost 3 years,

    I’ve had my 2019 trax 52k miles for almost 3 years, absolutely love the car no problems so far(knock on wood) only small minor inconvenience a ground wire got a little dusty and was cleaned. I have done the pcv fix as Chevy did not make it good for these engines in the long run. Not a lot of power for my liking so I modified some components. Not very friendly for tall people im 6’3 and have my seat set almost all the way back.

    Water leaking - GM/Chevy Doesn't Care

    Just don't buy a Trax. They are made to fall apart. I bought a certified pre-owned 2019 Chevy Trax LT. I drive, maybe 40 miles a week total with it. Certified pre-owned no issues at the time Trax with an extended warranty. Not even a full 2 years later I find water just leaking everywhere, mostly in the wheel well of my trunk just POOLING. I filed a claim with the warranty as the extended warranty won't cover it, and the dealership gets back to me today and says the total cost is $500. GM/Chevy won't cover the charges as it's past their 3 years warranty claim. The vehicle is under 36,000 miles. I live on an island, it's impossible to drive 36,000 miles even annually here. I would have to drive around the island 322 times to meet that amount. The fact the GM/Chevy is claiming it's outside their 3 year warranty is pathetic on their end. This car is terribly made, falls apart easily, and is not worth the upkeep. GM/Chevy, you're a garbage company who doesn't care about your consumers.

    Love my Blueberry Trax!

    My 2019 Trax LT hasn't had any problems. (knock wood) The stereo system is great, if the headrest would tilt back it'd be a 5 star on comfort. As is, long trips are comfortable. The turbo hesitates if I haven't kicked it in before it's needed. Blow the cobwebs out so to speak. Overall, I love my lil' blue Trax LT.

    Run away from buying this car.

    I built the car on line and had the dealership hand deliver it to me. And shortly after getting it it always feels like not all if the cylinders are getting gas, it's slow to accelerate and the turbo hesitates to kick in. I ran seafoam engine treatment thru it made a little improvement in the acceleration. Now going on 33,000miles the evaporator coil fails get it fixed only to have it fail yet again. I've owned a 10 year old BMW that didn't have a/c issues. I live in Texas and this will be the last American made car I will ever own.

    Crappy car

    I love my car when I first got it thought it was great but then only had it 3 weeks I bought it from the dealership for $21,000 mi and already needed a front-end alignment when they show me they just got it done a month ago Paul's all over the road no matter what even in the wind when it's windier it pulls even more when you're on dirt roads it's so bouncy and noisy when you drive down the freeway the car is so noisy and when you go to turn on certain roads out by my house it's hard to see when you're trying to turn left out the passenger window cuz the way the road is sometimes you have to use the back window to see if it's safe to go left accident with it in the front end slid and hit some trees and it's still drove fine but the air bags never went off like they should have in the car small for its size and money I can barely fit a 6'6 fishing pole in my car I have to do one of the declatable fishing poles to fit my car and it jerks a little bit when I take off and it only has 41, 758 and I've even had the transmission flushed and it jerks a little bit The transmission sucks bounces too much I wish I would have never bought the car

    Would not start

    I have been having problem to start the car: Thinking it was the remote control, so i changed it; and it is not. I put in a brand new battery; It worked fine for 2 weeks and the same problem is happening again. Not sure what the xxxx is going on. Maintenance is performed every 3 or 4 months by the dealership

    Avoid this car at all costs!

    Car has had an issue with water getting in the spare tire well. Multiple trips to the dealership has not fixed the problem because they can’t find the leak. Also almost got blown off the highway three times thanks to crosswinds. Also had issues with Apple CarPlay. I’ve not even had the car two weeks and already hate it. It’s a piece of junk.
