Despite praise for its interior and reliability, the 2024–2026 Chevy Trax is front‑wheel drive only and GM does not consider it capable of towing beyond a small dinghy, warning that adding a hitch could void warranty or damage the vehicle; rivals like Subaru Crosstrek, Toyota Corolla Cross, and BMW X1 offer true towing capability (1,500–3,500 pounds) at higher price points.
General Motors is addressing affordability concerns by introducing two new crossovers, the Chevrolet Trax and Buick Envista, to fill the gap left by discontinued sedans. The average price of new vehicles has risen significantly, pushing some buyers out of the market. GM's new crossovers are competitively priced and offer sedan-like features with roomier interiors. Executives expect these vehicles to be top-sellers and attract new buyers to the brands. GM's U.S. sales have increased by over 18% in the first half of this year.
Despite the average price of a new car reaching about $48,000, there are still plenty of choices on the market that cost less than the average new vehicle. The new 2024 Chevrolet Trax and Chevrolet Trailblazer, with starting prices around $20,000 and $22,000, respectively, are positively inexpensive by today’s standards. Cars.com recently announced its “Best Value Cars” for the 2023 model year, with the overall winner being the Kia Rio S with the technology option package.
