Small SUVs live or die on value, and few make the case as plainly as this one. If you have been comparing options for a Chevy Trax near Noblesville, IN, Ray Skillman Chevrolet can walk you through all five trims and show you what each one changes about your everyday drive.
Chevrolet reworked the Trax into something longer, roomier, and better-equipped than the version many shoppers picture. It stretches 178.6 inches on a 106.3-inch wheelbase, and that extra length shows up where you want it, in back seat legroom and cargo room, without making the thing a headache to park. Five seats, a 60/40 split-folding rear bench, and 25.6 cubic feet behind that bench handle most of what a week throws at you.
PRE-OWNED CHEVROLET TRAX SELECTION
The five trims split into two groups. LS and 1RS keep things simple and affordable, while LT, 2RS, and ACTIV add the bigger screen, automatic climate control, and remote start. Here is how the lineup lines up side-by-side.
| Feature | LS | 1RS | LT | 2RS | ACTIV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.2L Turbo, 137 hp | 1.2L Turbo, 137 hp | 1.2L Turbo, 137 hp | 1.2L Turbo, 137 hp | 1.2L Turbo, 137 hp |
| Drivetrain | Front-wheel drive | Front-wheel drive | Front-wheel drive | Front-wheel drive | Front-wheel drive |
| Chevy Safety Assist | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Touchscreen size | 8-inch | 8-inch | 11-inch | 11-inch | 11-inch |
| Automatic climate control | Not offered | Not offered | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Remote vehicle starter | Not offered | Not offered | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Wheels | Standard finish | 18-inch machined two-tone | 17-inch machined two-tone | 19-inch machined two-tone | 18-inch Black-painted aluminum |

Pricing runs from the low twenties on the LS up through the mid-twenties on the 2RS and ACTIV, which is a narrow spread for this much variety. If you want the bigger screen and remote start without the sport styling, the LT is usually the sweet spot. Browse the trims online, then come drive two or three back-to-back and let the seat time settle it.
Choosing a small SUV is easier when someone lays out the differences honestly rather than pushing you toward whatever sits on the front row. That is the part we care about most.
Every trim runs the same ECOTEC 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder, rated at 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, matched to a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. The number that matters more than horsepower here is where the torque arrives. Peak twist comes on at 2,500 rpm, low enough that merging onto I-69 or pulling away from a light feels unhurried rather than strained.
Efficiency is the other half of the story. The EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined breaks down to 28 mpg city and 32 mpg highway on regular gas, and the engine is E85 compatible if that fits how you fill up. All-wheel drive is not offered, and the Trax is not rated to tow, so it is honest about being a commuter and errand runner first. For a lot of buyers, that trade is exactly the point.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto compatibility come standard across the board, which means your phone connects without a cable and stays connected as you come and go. The LS and 1RS use an 8-inch touchscreen, while the LT, 2RS, and ACTIV move up to an 11-inch diagonal display paired with an 8-inch Driver Information Center in the gauge cluster.
Built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capability is available, and so is a wireless charging pad on all trims above the base. The menus are simple enough to use without hunting through submenus, which matters more day-to-day than any screen measurement does.
Chevy Safety Assist is standard on every Chevy Trax, bundling six driver assistance features: Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams. A Rear Vision Camera, Rear Seat Reminder, and Teen Driver technology round out what you get without checking a single option box.
From there, the available Driver Confidence package adds Side Blind Zone Alert with Lane Change Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Park Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. Parents shopping for a first vehicle tend to lean on the Teen Driver settings, which let you cap the stereo volume and pull a report card on how the car was driven.
Ray Skillman Chevrolet has been part of central Indiana since 2008, backed by an auto group that has served this area since 1980. Our finance team works with national banks and local lenders to find a rate and a payment that fit your budget, and you can start the credit application online before you ever walk in. Trade-in appraisals are straightforward too, with no runaround about what your current vehicle is worth.
After the sale, our Certified Service technicians keep things running with factory training and warranty-approved work. Stop by whenever you are ready and we will get you behind the wheel of a Trax to see how it fits your week.
Ray Skillman Chevrolet carries the Chevy Trax along with the rest of the Chevrolet lineup, and we work with drivers from across central Indiana every day. You can browse our selection online before you come in, or call ahead and we will have a few trims pulled up front and ready to drive. There is no pressure and no rush when you get here.
No. Every Trax trim is front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is not offered on this model. If all-wheel drive is a must for you, ask our team about the Chevy Trailblazer, which is close in size and does offer it. We are happy to park the two side by side so you can feel the difference.
You get 25.6 cubic feet behind the rear seat and up to 54.1 cubic feet with the 60/40 split-folding rear seat down. That is enough for a big grocery run with the seats up and a dorm move or a furniture haul with them folded. The low load floor makes it easier to slide heavy items in without lifting them over a ledge.
Chevrolet lists an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined, with 28 mpg city and 32 mpg highway on regular gas. The engine runs on regular 87-octane and is also E85-compatible. Fuel economy varies with driving style and conditions, but the Trax is one of the more efficient gas-only small SUVs you will find at this price.
The Trax is not rated to tow, so we would steer you toward a different Chevrolet if towing is part of your plans. The Equinox and Trailblazer both have tow ratings worth looking at. Our sales team can lay out the options and help you sort out which ones fit your needs and budget.
The 11-inch diagonal color touchscreen comes on the LT, 2RS, and ACTIV, while the LS and 1RS use an 8-inch screen. Both sizes include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, so the difference is the display size rather than capabilities. Sit in both before you decide, since the smaller screen is plenty for a lot of drivers.
Yes. Our Certified Service technicians are factory-trained on Chevrolet models and handle everything from oil changes and tire rotations to major repairs. We are also a warranty-approved service provider, so covered work does not cost you extra. You can book an appointment online whenever it suits your schedule.
