2024 Chevrolet Trax Safety Features
The 2024 Chevrolet Trax is a compact SUV that blends modern design with cutting-edge safety technologies. Chevrolet has ensured that the Trax offers a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to protect your passengers and boost your driving confidence. With its impressive array of standard and available safety systems and anticipated strong performance in crash tests, the 2024 Chevrolet Trax is an attractive choice if you're safety-conscious.

Safety Features

Chevrolet has prioritized safety when designing the 2024 Trax, providing various active and passive safety and driver-assistance technologies. Let's explore these safety features.

Active Safety Technologies

The 2024 Chevrolet Trax comes standard with the Chevy Safety Assist suite, a collection of advanced driver-assistance systems that help prevent accidents and enhance your awareness on the road. This suite includes the following: 

  • Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection: This system uses sensors and cameras to detect potential front-end collisions and automatically applies the brakes if you don't respond in time.
  • Lane-keep assist with lane departure warning: This feature helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane and alerts you if the Trax begins to drift without the turn signal activated.
  • Forward collision alert: This alert includes visual and audible warnings about potential front-end collisions.
  • Following distance indicator: This displays the gap time between the Trax and the vehicle ahead, helping to maintain a safe following distance.
  • IntelliBeam automatic high-beam assist: This system automatically switches the high beams on and off based on surrounding traffic and lighting conditions.

The 2024 Trax also offers several advanced safety technologies as available options, such as the following:

  • Adaptive cruise control.
  • Rear park assist.
  • Rear cross-traffic alert.
  • Blind-spot monitoring.

Passive Safety Features

The 2024 Chevrolet Trax's passive safety features are designed to protect you and your passengers in a collision. The vehicle's body structure is built with a high-strength steel safety cage, providing exceptional rigidity and robustness. This safety cage contains strategically placed crumple zones and a reinforced occupant cell to absorb and dissipate crash energy, minimizing the force transferred to the passenger compartment.

The Trax also features an advanced air-bag system with six standard air bags, including front, side-impact, and side curtain air bags. These air bags work with the vehicle's seatbelt system, including pre-tensioners and load limiters, to help restrain and protect you and your passengers during a crash. The Trax's front-end design incorporates pedestrian protection features, such as an energy-absorbing hood and bumper, to help reduce the severity of injuries in a pedestrian collision.

In the aftermath of a collision, the 2024 Trax is equipped with post-collision safety systems that help prevent further injury or damage. These include the following:

  • Automatic door unlocking.
  • Fuel pump shut-off.
  • Battery disconnect.

Safety Ratings

While the 2024 Chevrolet Trax has not yet been evaluated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), its predecessor set a strong precedent for safety. The previous generation Trax earned a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS, the organization's highest honor. Given the significant safety upgrades and additional driver-assistance technologies featured in the 2024 model, it's expected to perform equally well, if not better, in future crash tests.

Innovative Safety Technologies

In addition to the standard and available safety features, the 2024 Chevrolet Trax offers several innovative technologies that further enhance its safety capabilities. An available high-definition surround vision system uses a network of cameras to provide a 360-degree bird's-eye view of the vehicle's surroundings. This feature makes maneuvering in tight spaces easier and avoids obstacles that may otherwise be difficult to see. The Safety Alert Seat is another innovative option that provides haptic driver feedback using vibrations in the seat cushion to supplement visual and audible alerts from other safety systems.

Safety-Focused Design

The 2024 Chevrolet Trax's safety-focused design extends beyond its advanced technologies and robust occupant protection systems. Chevrolet engineers have paid close attention to optimizing visibility, ensuring that you have a clear view of the road and your surroundings. The Trax features standard large side mirrors, LED headlights that provide bright, crisp illumination, and a high-definition rearview camera that helps minimize blind spots and improve situational awareness.

The ergonomic controls and easy-to-use safety features inside the Trax's cabin are designed to minimize distraction while you're driving and promote your safety. The vehicle's intuitive infotainment system allows easy access to safety settings and features, while the clear, concise instrument cluster provides essential information at a glance.

The Trax's body structure is engineered with safety as a top priority. High-strength steel is strategically placed throughout the vehicle to create a robust safety cage that protects you and your passengers in the event of a collision. The front and rear crumple zones are designed to absorb and dissipate crash energy, while the reinforced occupant cell helps maintain the integrity of the passenger compartment.

Chevrolet's Commitment to Safety Education

Chevrolet understands that advanced safety features are only part of promoting safe driving. That's why it has developed the Chevy Safety Assist program. If you own a Trax, this comprehensive resource provides you with valuable information and guidance on properly using and maintaining your vehicle's safety systems. The program includes detailed explanations of each feature and tips and best practices for optimal performance.

Chevrolet also offers a range of driver education and training initiatives designed to help you become a safer, more confident driver.

By equipping you with the knowledge and skills you need to handle various driving situations, Chevrolet aims to reduce the risk of accidents and promote responsible vehicle operation.
