Trax and Lyriq continue punching above their weight. Wayne Gerdes – CleanMPG – Apr. 2, 2024 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV The top of the line 3RS trim shown. GM delivered 594,233 vehicles in the U.S. during Q1 of 2024, down 1.5% below the 603,208 sold during Q1 of 2023. The company blamed the shortfall on slowing or reduced fleet deliveries. GM is quickly scaling its Ultium EV Platform for current and future products like the 2024 Equinox EV. Highlights include the Chevrolet Trax and Cadillac Lyriq. Trax saw 37,588 vehicles delivered during Q1 of 2024, up 481.4% over the 6,465 sold during the same period of 2023.

A standard FWD provides 213 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque while the AWD offers up 288 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque. One-Pedal Driving <-- I cannot stand this feature myself, is standard and allows the Equinox EV to accelerate and slow to a full stop, using only the accelerator. The base LT trim includes 19” alloys while the 2RS adds 20’s and 3RS, 21’s. When are these companies going to get off the larger wheels and more expensive tires kick. They spend billions for 10% more miles per charge or mpg and throw it away with these stupidly expensive large wheel and tire combinations?

Hiding in the Q2 2024 deliveries spreadsheet, I noticed Chevrolet has a new second place sales winner. Equinox sales slowed as they retooled for the all-new model, and the Trax surged ahead to take the second spot - 52270 for Equinox vs 52875 for Trax. A small lead, but still a victory for affordable no-nonsense vehicles available at about half the price of the average new car. They're starting to show up everywhere. And the tiny-turbo strategy seems to pay off because I ask people out on the road how they like the car and they report that the love the fuel economy. And owners all seem to be reporting their FCD is in the low to mid 30s. Most buyers I spoke to were coming from leases of large FSP garbage that'd cost 700+/mo to lease again in the current model year. The awful lease rates have been leading people to head to the Chevy dealer to buy a Trax that handles all the daily driving needs and can be financed for about what the typical FSP lease payment was 3 or 4 years ago. And the gas savings is just icing on the cake.
