Luxury Technology, Made Accessible: 3 Standard Features That Set the 2025 Chevrolet Trax Apart

Technology that once defined premium vehicles has found its way into Chevrolet's most accessible SUV. The 2025 Trax delivers three standout features as standard equipment that many competitors reserve for higher trims or charge extra to include. For Montreal drivers seeking modern connectivity and safety without stretching their budget, the Trax proves that advanced technology doesn't require a luxury price tag.

This approach makes sophisticated features available to more families across Quebec, ensuring that essential connectivity and safety tools are part of the standard driving experience rather than expensive add-ons.

Standard Technology That Usually Costs Extra

The automotive landscape typically forces buyers to choose between affordability and technology. The 2025 Trax breaks this pattern by including three features that many vehicles in its class either omit entirely or offer only on higher trims.

Each of these technologies addresses real driving needs that Montreal residents face daily, from staying connected during longer commutes to maintaining safety on busy urban streets.

Feature Breakdown: What's Standard vs. What's Optional

The 11-Inch Touch-Screen Advantage

Most vehicles in the Trax's price range offer smaller screens or outdated interfaces. The Trax includes an 11-inch diagonal colour touch-screen as standard equipment on LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trims—a screen size typically found in vehicles costing much more.

This larger display improves visibility for navigation, makes menu selections easier while driving, and provides clearer backup camera views. The size difference becomes especially apparent during Montreal winters when gloves make precise touch inputs more challenging.

• Clear, responsive interface reduces driver distraction
• Large navigation maps easier to read at highway speeds
• Improved backup camera visibility in tight parking situations
• Climate and audio controls remain accessible with winter gloves

True Wireless Smartphone Integration

While many vehicles claim smartphone integration, most still require cables for full functionality. The Trax provides genuine wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility across all trim levels, including the base LS.

This wireless connectivity automatically connects your phone when you enter the vehicle, eliminating the need to plug in cables or remember adapters. For Quebec drivers who frequently switch between personal and work phones, or families sharing vehicles, this automatic connection saves time and reduces frustration.

Comprehensive Safety as Standard Equipment

The Trax includes Chevrolet Safety Assist as standard equipment—a package of six advanced safety features that many competitors either exclude or charge extra to include. The comprehensive suite includes collision prevention and protection features designed for real-world driving situations.

The system includes Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams. Additional available features like Adaptive Cruise Control come standard on LT, 2RS, and ACTIV trims.

These features work together to provide protection during Montreal's challenging driving conditions, from sudden stops on the Ville-Marie Expressway to pedestrian-heavy areas around universities and shopping districts.

• Automatic emergency braking helps prevent or reduce collision severity
• Lane keeping assistance reduces fatigue on longer highway drives
• Pedestrian detection adds protection in busy urban areas
• Intelligent high beams improve night visibility without blinding oncoming traffic

Additional Available Features

Higher Trax trims build on this technology foundation with additional convenience features. The 2RS adds wireless phone charging and unique sporty interior accents with red stitching, while the ACTIV trim includes an 8-way power driver seat and outdoor-inspired design elements.

These additions enhance the base technology without replacing it, ensuring that even entry-level buyers receive the core connectivity and safety features that matter most for daily driving.

Value Comparison: Technology Per Dollar

When comparing the Trax to competitors, the standard technology package creates substantial value. Rather than forcing buyers to upgrade trim levels for basic connectivity, the Trax delivers essential features from the start.

This approach makes the Trax particularly attractive for Montreal families, young professionals, and anyone who wants modern vehicle technology without paying luxury vehicle prices. The savings can be redirected toward other priorities like winter tires or extended warranties.
