While there are currently no official safety ratings for the latest Chevrolet Trax, it shares a platform with the Blazer which achieved a spread of Good crashworthiness ratings from the IIHS. We see no reason why the Trax won't attain similar results when sent for a crash test.
NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time.
The Trax comes with a decent list of standard safety features, though you will have to add a package or two to get the best it has to offer. Every model has forward collision warning, a following distance indicator, and automatic emergency braking, along with an HD rearview camera, lane-keep assist, and lane-departure warning. You also get ABS, StabiliTak, and six airbags: dual front, front side, and side curtain. Available features include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and lane change alert.

Despite some quality issues, Chevrolet is a brand that most owners commend. It will take some time to get a quality and reliability rating for the new Chevrolet Trax, but the outgoing model scored 83 out of 100 in this category from J.D. Power and 80 out of 100 overall. At the time of writing, the 2024 Trax had not been recalled for any issues.
Every 2024 Chevrolet Trax comes with a three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, while the powertrain and roadside assistance are covered for five years/60,000 miles.
Local authorities have not yet had an opportunity to evaluate the Trax, but we expect it to return good results since it shares a platform with the Blazer, a vehicle that has performed well in crash tests.
The Chevy Trax is equipped with dual front, front side, and side curtain airbags, for a total of six.
