For the 2024 model year, the Chevrolet Trax is cheap, stylish, and brand new. It’s becoming increasingly popular among people with low budgets, and the model has done well in sales ranks in its first year on the market. Since the Trax starts at about $25,000 for all trims, it’s not surprising that it’s selling well. You’ll find some interesting facts by looking at GM’s third-quarter sales numbers. The Trax’s quarterly result is at the top of the list because it went up 498% from the previous quarter. This number needs to be more accurate since the last version of Trax won’t be made after the 2022 model year. Even so, Chevrolet sold 37,869 of them in the third quarter, making it the third best-selling car after the Silverado and the Equinox. Since it came out in the second quarter of this year, the Trax has sold 65,255 copies. On the other hand, Chevrolet sold 42,590 vehicles in 2021 and 26,597 vehicles in 2022. With 116,816 units sold, 2019 was the best year ever for the Trax. If the new model keeps selling at the same rate for a year, it might be easy to beat that record. Other exciting numbers include that Chevrolet sold more Trax cars in the third quarter than all of Cadillac, even though Cadillac moved 35,638 units during the same period. The sales numbers for the Trax have been made public because GM has been doing well in the small SUV market. The Buick Encore GX just had its best-ever third quarter, with 20,060 units sold, but the 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer has had its best year on the market for its current generation. GM will also keep an eye on the sales of the 2024 Buick Envista. In the first quarter, 5,385 of these cars were sold. People know that the Trax disproves the idea that cheap cars will soon be gone from the American market. In 2022, sales of vehicles like the Mitsubishi Mirage, Kia Rio, and Nissan Versa were below 30,000 units, and several of these models were set to be taken out over the next few years. Yes, many cheaper models are getting close to the end of their helpful lives because they have held up well over time. As customers want better and better services and benefits, the older ones become less appealing. At the same time, this is partly because automakers need to see a good reason to keep putting money into these cheaper brands. In any case, it’s easy to see why the new Trax is so popular, given how cheap it is and how many features it has. Chevrolet will hope that as its competitors leave the lower end of the market, it will continue to sell more than cheaper models.
