2024 Chevrolet Trax Trim Levels: Compare the LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS, & ACTIV

November 30th, 2023 by

The 2024 Chevrolet Trax is equipped with a turbocharged three-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission. This compact SUV has been delightfully built for the city, as it offers decent handling, a generous interior, and a comfortable ride for up to five passengers. Plenty of standard features at an attractive price point make the new Trax an excellent buy. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the stylish upper trims aren’t bad to look at.

The LT, RS, and ACTIV trims boast decent wheels, formed headlights and taillights, and bold front grilles. Even though the 2024 Chevrolet Trax looks built for off-road adventures, front-wheel drive is the only configuration available. This makes it a great choice for those who don’t need the added traction of all-wheel drive.

In this article, we take a closer look at the different trim levels for the latest generation and explore the Trax’s specs so you can decide if the this new Chevrolet SUV is right for you. Are you curious about how it feels behind the wheel? Is so, visit #1 Cochran Chevrolet Youngstown to test drive the brand-new Chevrolet Trax today.

What’s New for 2024?

The redesigned and reimagined 2024 Chevrolet Trax is longer, wider, and lower than ever before. With its longer wheelbase and wider track, it boasts more legroom for passengers sitting in the vehicle’s rear seats. It also commands nearly 6 cubic feet more cargo space than the 2023 model. We love that it comes with a flat floor in the back, which makes riding in the middle seat much more comfortable. And the best part? The new Chevrolet comes in at an even cheaper price than the previous model year.

What Are the Different Trim Levels of the 2024 Chevrolet Trax?

The 2024 Chevrolet Trax is available in a choice of five trim levels, which is three trim levels more than the previous generation.

LS

The LS trim is the Chevrolet Trax’s entry-level trim and is quite basic to look at. That said, it offers a sizable number of standard features for its affordable price. With a starting MSRP of $21,495, the LS comes with 17-inch steel wheels, black mirror caps, and deep-tinted glass. It features IntelliBeam, a rear spoiler, and a compact spare wheel and tire as standard. Other standard exterior features include power outside mirrors and a front recovery hook. Inside, a four-way manual front passenger seat and a 12-volt power outlet are also standard features.

Chevy Safety Assist is another standard feature across all trims. It includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, and more. In terms of technology, the base level comes with great features. You can expect an 8-inch diagonal high-definition (HD) color touch screen and a four-speaker audio system. A 3.5-inch diagonal Driver Information Center makes navigating a breeze.

1RS

The 1RS trim has many of the same benefits as the LS trim plus a few bonus features as part of the LS Convenience Package. It adds 18-inch black painted machined aluminum wheels, heated power outside mirrors, and high gloss black mirror caps. There’s also a heated steering wheel and heated driver and front passenger seats for extra comfort. Remote start and rear carpeted floor mats are standard with this trim. It also comes with an RS exterior trim and an RS badge. For those who want a bit more, a power sunroof and Sunroof Package are available options.

LT

If you’re comparing the Chevrolet Trax LS vs. LT, you’ll find more bang for your buck with this mid-range trim. The LT trim comes with 17-inch gray painted machined aluminum wheels. It features silver-painted front and rear lower fascias, body-colored mirror caps, and an LT badge. Alongside Evotex cloth seats, it also comes with roof-mounted side rails, signature LED daytime running lamps, and 225/60R17 all-season tires.

The technology is also upgraded compared to the previous trims. There’s a user-friendly 11-inch diagonal HD color touch screen and a six-speaker audio system. Keyless start and an 8-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center add convenience.

A cargo cover, charging-only USB ports, and single-zone automatic climate control are standard. Available add-ons include a black Trax nameplate, black bowtie emblems, and the LT Convenience Package. For a little extra, opt for the available roof rack cross rails and a wrapped steering wheel. Other available features include adaptive cruise control and wireless charging.

2RS

The 2RS trim adds 19-inch black painted machined aluminum wheels. It features heated power outside mirrors, high gloss black mirror caps, and an RS exterior trim with an RS badge. It adds 245/45R19 all-season tires and a front passenger seatback map pocket. For extra driving pleasure, it features a heated steering wheel and heated driver and front passenger seats.

ACTIV

The ACTIV trim is the most luxurious of all the 2024 Chevrolet Trax trim levels. In comparison with the Chevrolet Trax 2RS vs. ACTIV, the ACTIV trim adds 18-inch black painted aluminum wheels and the stand-out ACTIV exterior trim. It also includes 225/55R18 all-season tires. Inside, the trim features a wrapped steering wheel, an eight-way power driver seat, and two-way power lumbar driver seat controls. A black Trax nameplate is available for that something extra.

Which Trim Is Best?

As with any vehicle, the trim level that’s best for you comes down to personal preference. It all depends on your budget and what you’re looking to get out of your compact SUV. The most budget-conscious buyers may find that the base trim has enough standard features to make it an acceptable choice. Those looking to splurge will find the sophisticated ACTIV trim easier on the eye. However, if you’re looking for a good mix of affordability and features, in our opinion, the LT trim provides the best value.
