Chevrolet Trax Performance Overview
Chevrolet’s Trax has been tracked across 10 independently verified tests spanning 2015 to 2024, showing a subcompact crossover focused on steady, incremental gains rather than wide performance swings. The 1st Gen (2015–2022) used a turbocharged 1.4-liter gasoline four-cylinder, coded LUJ, with 138 hp throughout the tested range. Early results clustered near the 10-second mark, from 10.1 seconds to 60 mph in the 2015 LT to 9.0 seconds in the 2015 LTZ, which also set the generation’s quickest early benchmark.
The 2nd Gen, arriving for 2024, moved to the LIH turbocharged 1.2-liter gasoline three-cylinder with 137 hp and delivered the model’s best recorded acceleration. The 2024 Activ reaches 60 mph in 8.5 seconds and covers the quarter-mile in 16.5 seconds at 82.7 mph, improving on the 1st Gen’s 9.0-second best and pulling the overall average to 9.29 seconds. Across the available data, the Trax remains exclusively gasoline-powered, with no hybrid or electric variants represented in testing, and today the current 2nd Gen stands as the quickest version yet, led by the Activ’s 8.5-second run.
