A Used Chevrolet Trax in Kingston: Matching the Model Year to Your Roads
A used Chevrolet Trax from 2024, 2025 or 2026 is listed with a 1.2 L three-cylinder in the Government of Canada's Fuel Consumption Ratings, and a 2019 to 2022 Trax with a 1.4 L four-cylinder.
Jim Thompson Chrysler, at 805 Gardiners Road in Kingston, sells new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles and used vehicles of other makes. Our service department can inspect a used vehicle before purchase and tell you what it finds.
From 2019 on, the federal ratings name Chevrolet Trax entries AWD or 4WD in 2019 to 2022 only, so a driver on township roads that are cleared late can start with those years, and a driver who keeps to Kingston's main streets and the 401 can weigh every year in this guide. Either way, the particular Trax still has to pass your own checks and an inspection.

Key Takeaways
The federal fuel ratings list a 1.4 L four-cylinder on every 2019 to 2022 Chevrolet Trax entry and a 1.2 L three-cylinder on every 2024 to 2026 entry. The Government of Canada's Fuel Consumption Ratings, read October 16, 2026, list one 2019 Trax entry with a six-speed manual (M6) and a six-speed automatic with select shift (AS6) on every other 2019 to 2022 entry.
Jim Thompson Chrysler in Kingston's advice on a used Chevrolet Trax: let the roads you drive in winter choose the model year, then have that particular Trax inspected before you buy. The Government of Canada's Fuel Consumption Ratings, read October 16, 2026, name Trax entries AWD or 4WD for 2019 to 2022 and for no year from 2024 to 2026, and give the 2022 Trax AWD, a 1.4 L four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic with select shift (AS6), a combined fuel consumption rating of 9.1 L/100 km against 7.9 L/100 km for the 2024 Trax, a 1.2 L three-cylinder with a six-speed automatic (A6), ratings that Natural Resources Canada publishes and that the manufacturers produce through standard, controlled laboratory testing.
The 2024, 2025 and 2026 Chevrolet Trax each have a single entry in the federal fuel ratings, a 1.2 L three-cylinder with a six-speed automatic (A6). The Government of Canada's Fuel Consumption Ratings, read October 16, 2026, give the 2024 Trax a combined fuel consumption rating of 7.9 L/100 km and the 2025 and 2026 Trax 8.1 L/100 km, about 36 and 35 miles per imperial gallon by our own conversion; Natural Resources Canada publishes these ratings, and the manufacturers generate the data through laboratory testing.
The underside and the VIN carry the history of a used Chevrolet Trax: look at one yourself and put the other to Chevrolet Canada. For a 2019 to 2022 Trax, ask Chevrolet Canada with the VIN whether that vehicle left the factory with an AWD or 4WD system, since a federal model name describes a rating entry rather than one particular vehicle.
A brand-new Jeep Compass takes the previous-owner question off the table, which no used Chevrolet Trax can do. With a used Trax, the inspection and Chevrolet Canada's answers on the VIN stand in for the history a new vehicle does not have yet.
When Would You Reach for the Keys to a Used Chevrolet Trax?
You would reach for the keys to a used Chevrolet Trax for everyday driving in and around Kingston: weekend errands, a commute, a run out of town to see family. Because any used Trax has had at least one owner already, the particular vehicle deserves as much attention as its model year.
A farm stand on Highway 15 is your October Saturday stop, and the Trax waits on the gravel beside it while you pick out apples and a pumpkin.
You drive to Gananoque on a December evening for a school concert, and the 401 is already dark by five.
Four Cylinders or Three in a Used Chevrolet Trax?
Each used Chevrolet Trax year from 2019 to 2022 carries a 1.4 L four-cylinder in the Government of Canada's Fuel Consumption Ratings, read October 16, 2026, and each year from 2024 to 2026 carries a 1.2 L three-cylinder. Ten of the eleven 2019 to 2022 Chevrolet Trax entries carry a six-speed automatic with select shift (AS6) and one 2019 entry a six-speed manual (M6), while each 2024 to 2026 entry carries a six-speed automatic (A6), according to the federal ratings.
Read across a row to see how the Government of Canada's Fuel Consumption Ratings list one Chevrolet Trax entry: year, model name, engine, transmission code, federal class and combined rating in L/100 km. The table holds all eleven entries for 2019 to 2022 and all three for 2024 to 2026:
Model year | Model name, as the federal entry prints it | Engine | Transmission (federal code) | Federal class | Combined (L/100 km) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2019 | Trax | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 8.4 |
2019 | Trax | 1.4 L four-cylinder | M6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 8.3 |
2019 | Trax 4WD | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 9.1 |
2020 | Trax | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 8.4 |
2020 | Trax AWD | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 9.1 |
2021 | Trax | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 8.4 |
2021 | Trax (SIDI) | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 8.6 |
2021 | Trax 4WD | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 9.1 |
2021 | Trax 4WD (SIDI) | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 9.1 |
2022 | Trax | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 8.6 |
2022 | Trax AWD | 1.4 L four-cylinder | AS6 | Sport utility vehicle: Small | 9.1 |
2024 | Trax | 1.2 L three-cylinder | A6 | Station wagon: Small | 7.9 |
2025 | Trax | 1.2 L three-cylinder | A6 | Station wagon: Small | 8.1 |
2026 | Trax | 1.2 L three-cylinder | A6 | Station wagon: Small | 8.1 |
The transmission codes follow the legend in Natural Resources Canada's 2026 Fuel Consumption Guide: A is automatic, AS is automatic with select shift, M is manual, and the digit gives the number of gears or speeds.
Natural Resources Canada publishes the federal fuel consumption ratings for the Chevrolet Trax, and its 2026 Fuel Consumption Guide credits the data to the vehicle manufacturers' own laboratory tests.
Once a span of years suits you, open our used Chevrolet Trax results page and read the model year on each listing first.
The 2019 to 2022 Trax and Its 1.4 L Four-Cylinder
Every entry in the federal ratings for a 2019, 2020, 2021 or 2022 Chevrolet Trax lists a 1.4 L four-cylinder, and 2021 has four entries, two of them named 4WD, against two or three in each of the other years. From 2019 on, the federal ratings list one Trax with a manual, the 2019 "Trax" with a six-speed manual (M6), at 9.4 L/100 km city and 6.9 L/100 km highway.
For 2022, the federal ratings put the "Trax" at 9.7 L/100 km city and 7.3 L/100 km highway, and the "Trax AWD" at 10.2 L/100 km city and 7.7 L/100 km highway.
Trax Years With the 1.2 L Three-Cylinder
A 2024, 2025 or 2026 Chevrolet Trax has one entry per year in the Government of Canada's Fuel Consumption Ratings, each a 1.2 L three-cylinder with a six-speed automatic (A6). The federal ratings put the 2024 Trax at 8.3 L/100 km city and 7.4 L/100 km highway, and the 2025 and 2026 Trax at 8.5 L/100 km city and 7.6 L/100 km highway.
Want the figures in mpg? Divide 282.48 by the L/100 km figure, as Natural Resources Canada's guide does, and round: the federal 7.9 L/100 km combined for the 2024 Trax comes to about 36 miles per imperial gallon by that conversion, and the federal 8.1 L/100 km for the 2025 and 2026 Trax to about 35.
For Which Years Is a Chevrolet Trax Entry Named AWD or 4WD?
From 2019 on, the Government of Canada's Fuel Consumption Ratings, read October 16, 2026, name Chevrolet Trax entries "Trax 4WD" in 2019 and 2021 and "Trax AWD" in 2020 and 2022, and list no Trax entry named AWD or 4WD for 2024, 2025 or 2026. A federal model name describes a rating entry, so the drive system of one particular Trax is a question to put to Chevrolet Canada with that vehicle's VIN.
In each year from 2019 to 2022, the federal ratings put the entries named AWD or 4WD at 9.1 L/100 km combined, against 8.3 to 8.6 L/100 km for the other Trax entries of the same years.
Township Roads Beyond the City
If your winter drive takes you out past Verona or Harrowsmith on township roads that are cleared after the main routes, start with the 2019 to 2022 Chevrolet Trax years, where the federal entries named AWD or 4WD sit. Confirm the drive on the specific Trax with Chevrolet Canada, using its VIN, before you count on it.
Main Streets and the 401 All Winter
If Kingston's main streets and the 401 make up most of your winter driving, weigh the 2024 to 2026 Chevrolet Trax years alongside the 2019 to 2022 ones. Whichever Trax you choose, our advice is a full set of winter tires mounted on a dedicated set of wheels for the cold months.
Which Checks Matter on a Used Chevrolet Trax?
On a used Chevrolet Trax, the checks that matter are the underside, the tires, the drive on a 2019 to 2022 Trax, the VIN and the papers, and a pre-purchase inspection. Begin with the Trax's underside, where a few Kingston winters of road salt would leave their mark.
Brake Lines, Exhaust and Floor Pan
On a used Chevrolet Trax, look at the exhaust joints, the seams of the floor pan and the brake lines near each wheel for corrosion from road salt. Light surface rust on a bolt head is one thing; metal that comes away in flakes is something to raise at the inspection.
Sidewalls, a Matching Set and Winter Tires
Check that all four tires on the Chevrolet Trax match each other, and look along each sidewall for cracks or a bulge. If the seller mentions winter tires, get them written into the bill of sale so nobody is unsure later whether they came with the Trax.
Settling the Drive on a 2019 to 2022 Trax
On a 2019 to 2022 Chevrolet Trax, ask Chevrolet Canada, with the VIN, whether that vehicle left the factory with an AWD or 4WD system, since a seller's description or a listing title is a starting point rather than confirmation. For a 2024 to 2026 Trax, the federal ratings list no entry named AWD or 4WD, so put the same question to Chevrolet Canada if a listing for one of those years says otherwise.
Matching the VIN on a Private Sale
Ask the seller of a used Chevrolet Trax for the ownership and the service records, and check that the VIN on every paper that shows one matches the vehicle. With a private seller, ask to see the used vehicle information package and read it with the Trax in front of you; the UVIP guide on our blog lists what to check before you pay.
Open recalls on a particular used Chevrolet Trax are a question for Chevrolet Canada, asked with the vehicle's VIN, and Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database can be searched by make, then model, then a range of years. Ask Chevrolet Canada, with the same VIN, whether any of its factory warranty coverage remains on that Trax.

Our service department can inspect a used vehicle before purchase and tell you what it finds. Request service online for a used Chevrolet Trax, and put a pre-purchase inspection in the request.
Is Checking a Used Trax's Past More Than You Want to Take On?
A brand-new Jeep Compass suits the buyer who would rather not investigate a vehicle's past at all, while a used Chevrolet Trax suits the buyer prepared to check one.
A shopper leaning toward a new Compass can start on our new Jeep Compass results page.
Which Needs Should You Settle Before Choosing a Used Chevrolet Trax?
Room for car seats and cargo, a third row of seats, and your plans for an inspection are the three things to settle when a used Chevrolet Trax is on the shortlist.
For room questions, our used Chevrolet Equinox guide suggests a hands-on test with your own child seats and gear, and you can try it on a Trax too.
If you need a third row, start with our 7-seater SUV guide for Kingston.
Skip the pre-purchase inspection, and the condition of a used Trax rests on your own look and the seller's account.
