The 2025 Chevrolet Trax shows that size can be deceiving. This compact SUV fits easily into tight Nova Scotia parking spots and navigates busy Halifax streets with ease, while delivering cargo space that challenges much larger vehicles. The Trax maximizes every available inch, creating a spacious interior that handles everything from weekly grocery runs to weekend camping adventures in Cape Breton.
When you fold down the 60/40 split rear seats, the Trax opens up to reveal 1,532 litres of cargo space. That's enough room to pack gear for a family of five heading to Kejimkujik National Park, or to handle a month's worth of shopping from the Amherst Farmers Market. Even with all five seats occupied, you still have 725 litres of cargo capacity behind the second row for daily essentials and weekend activities.
Smart Storage Solutions for Nova Scotia Living
The Trax cargo area features practical design elements. The available cargo net keeps smaller items secure during drives along winding coastal roads, while the available collapsible cargo area organizer helps separate clean camping gear from muddy hiking boots after a day exploring the Bay of Fundy trails.
The standard cargo cover on ACTIV, LT, and 2RS trims keeps valuable items out of sight, whether you're parked downtown Amherst or at a scenic lookout on the Cabot Trail. The available cargo liner protects the interior from wet sports equipment or sandy beach gear, making cleanup easier after Nova Scotia adventures.
Flexible Seating for Every Situation
The Trax adapts quickly to different needs. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats let you carry long items like fishing rods or lumber while still accommodating passengers. Need to transport furniture from Halifax? Fold down one section and keep three adult passengers comfortable. Planning a solo camping trip? Fold both sections flat and create a massive 1,532-litre cargo area that easily holds tents, sleeping bags, coolers, and outdoor essentials.
The five-passenger seating configuration works well for most families. Front passengers enjoy 1,064 mm of legroom and 1,006 mm of headroom, while second-row passengers get 983 mm of legroom and 968 mm of headroom. Adults can sit comfortably in any seat, leaving maximum cargo space free for gear.

Built for Maritime Adventures

The standard Chevrolet Safety Assist suite, including Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist, provides peace of mind when carrying precious cargo. These safety features work the same regardless of how the cargo area is configured.
