CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Chevrolet Trax

Summary
With 650 currently listed for sale and an average price of $15,918, 31.4% of 2022 Chevrolet Trax listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Chevrolet Trax 5 / 5 stars.
73.1% of 2022 Chevrolet Trax listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Chevrolet Trax stands out as a compact, budget-friendly subcompact SUV that helped Chevrolet carve out a place in a smaller, more affordable part of the market. As the brand’s first subcompact SUV, it blended maneuverability and affordability with the higher seating position and extra space buyers wanted from an SUV. By the end of its first generation, it had also become a familiar value play against other small crossovers, especially for shoppers who wanted something easy to live with rather than especially powerful or upscale.
For 2022, the Trax was still part of the first generation, and its appeal came from practicality more than flash. Chevrolet had already added smartphone integration, and the model’s available safety equipment had grown over time, but the Trax still had clear limitations. The source notes that the first few years were relatively slow and that safety features were sparse, and it also says the first-generation Trax tended to depreciate faster than some rivals. Even so, the 2022 Trax remained attractive for buyers who wanted a small SUV with a straightforward layout, decent fuel economy, and an accessible price point.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Chevrolet Trax?
At 73.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can catch signs of prior damage or deferred maintenance. Focus on overall condition, because a budget-friendly SUV only stays budget-friendly if the example you buy has been maintained and repaired properly.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Chevrolet Trax?
This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 641 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 12.94% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 73.2% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $15,886, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2022 Chevrolet Trax's resale value?
The current average of $15,886 sits slightly below last year's $18,248.
That price movement suggests the Trax has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can be a double-edged sword for future resale. If you buy at the right price, you may limit how much value is left to lose. If you overpay, though, the softer market trend could make it harder to recover your money later.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2022 Chevrolet Trax or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2022 if:
- 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 73.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 12.94% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $13,193, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $15,886 average.
- It emphasizes easy-to-use tech and simple daily usability.
The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2022 if you want the stronger current-market balance of price, inventory, and owner satisfaction. If your top priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the better secondary path, especially if you find one in clean condition and can live with its compromises.
