Eco-Friendly Features that Make the 2024 Chevrolet Trax a Fuel-Saver | Sun Chevrolet

The 2024 Chevrolet Trax is one of the more fuel-efficient SUVs on the market. It allows you to go further between fill-ups – and it’s all because of the many eco-friendly features that Chevy has included in this adventurous SUV.

At Sun Chevrolet, we’re excited to introduce the latest model and the many trim levels and colors it’s available in. Plus, with all of the features that have turned this into a fuel-saver, you’ll have even more reason to fall in love with the vehicle.

The Fuel Efficiency

The fuel efficiency is truly remarkable for an SUV. You can expect to get around 32 mpg on the highway as well as 28 mpg in the city for a combined MPG of around 30.

These numbers are improved over the 2022 Trax by quite a bit.

Much of it has to do with a change to the engine – moving to a turbo 1.2-liter I3 LIH. While the horsepower drops just a bit, you’ll be happy to make that change when your gas tank gets you further.

The Trax gas tank capacity is 14 gallons. So, if you’re spending most of your time on the highway, you can plan on traveling at least 400 miles in between gas stations. It’s not only a time saver but also a money saver – and it’s one of the reasons why many people are eager to get behind the wheel of the 2024 Chevy Trax.

Under the Hood

There are a few other eco-friendly features under the hood beyond the new engine that was improved for 2024.

The engine is paired with a  six-speed automatic transmission to ensure that there is plenty of power getting to the SUV so that it can properly perform on the highway, around turns, and everywhere else.

You’ll also find that the 2024 Trax has utilized the MacPherson strut system with a compound crank in the rear. It’s all been so finely tuned that it makes handling a dream – and also boosts the fuel efficiency.

There’s an engine air filter life monitor that’s also important. In order to improve fuel efficiency, the engine’s internal combustion needs to be perfectly formulated with fuel and air. With the air filter’s life being monitored, it ensures that the filter is changed before it has a chance to have a negative impact on the engine’s performance.

It’s a lot of these little things that make a difference.

The Aerodynamic Design

The exterior design of the Trax is also eco-friendly. It is made of premium materials that are lightweight – and there are no additional features that could weigh the vehicle down.

As a result, you get a sleek and muscular exterior – and it’s available in a variety of bold colors so you stand out on the road. The air travels over the vehicle instead of getting caught on bulky accessories. It allows you to enjoy the performance – and your engine doesn’t have to work as hard to make it down the road, which allows you to go further on every gallon of gas.

Trim Level Differences

It’s important to note that there are some differences within the trim levels that can have minor impacts on the fuel-efficiency. Five trim levels provide you with such options as:

Roof-mounted side rails
17-inch, 18-inch, or 19-inch wheels
Larger all-season tires
These various features can have an impact on the overall drive – especially when it comes to terrain. Any time that there is added weight in or on the Trax, it can affect the fuel efficiency. Of course, this is important for you to remember if you decide to go on a major road trip. What you strap to the top of your Trax and load into the cargo area matters. Chevy did its part to make it a fuel-saver, so you have to do your part, too.

The great thing about the Trax is that it has been designed on a longer wheelbase to compensate for that weight. It helps to keep the ride smooth without having a negative impact on fuel.
