What Chevrolet Trax do most buyers choose?

The Chevrolet Trax years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2026.

Those higher-volume years tend to be the most popular because they give you the broadest mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. They also line up with the newer Trax redesign, which brings more space and a more modern feature set.

What is the Chevrolet Trax's resale value?

Most Trax model years are down year over year, and several are posting double-digit declines. That pattern can work in your favor if you’re shopping used, since it opens up more value in recent and older model years alike. The smaller declines in the oldest examples suggest those years have already absorbed much of their price movement.

The 2015, 2016, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Standard driver-assist features include automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, automatic high beams, and a following distance indicator.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The Trax continues with a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive (FWD), and it is EPA-rated at 29 mpg combined (28 mpg city, 31 mpg highway).
