7.2 / 10The second-generation Chevrolet Trax (2023-onward generation) is a sharp improvement over the model it replaced, growing significantly in size and offering a genuinely modern interior at a competitive UAE starting price of AED 75,000. Powered by a punchy 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder, it delivers adequate performance and reasonable fuel economy for daily UAE driving. The three-trim GCC lineup — LS, LT, and ACTIV — is straightforward, with the ACTIV offering the best value-for-features proposition.
Who it's for — UAE buyers on a tight budget who want a modern-looking subcompact SUV with up-to-date safety tech, comfortable urban ride quality, and solid brand support through the Al Ghandi / Bin Hamoodah dealer network.
