What is the MSRP for a 2015 Chevy Trax?

In 2015, the Chevrolet Trax carried a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) that ranged from about $21,995 for the base LS trim up to roughly $26,695 for the top-line LTZ, before adding the destination charge of around $995.

This article examines the official, pre-destination MSRPs by trim, explains how the destination charge affects the sticker price, and notes factors that could push the price higher or lower at the dealership. It provides context for anyone researching a 2015 Trax purchase or tracing historical pricing.

MSRP by trim

The following figures reflect the approximate starting MSRPs for common 2015 Trax trims (before destination charges). Actual prices may have varied slightly by region and dealer.

• LS: starting around $21,995


• LT: starting around $23,995


• LTZ: starting around $26,695

Note: A standard destination charge of about $995 was added to the sticker price for all trims in 2015.

What can affect the MSRP beyond the base trim price

While the above figures show the base MSRPs, several factors could alter the sticker price you would have seen in a showroom:

• Optional packages and features, such as enhanced audio, navigation, sunroof, or advanced safety tech


• Color, upholstery, and transmission choices (automatic vs. manual where offered)


• Region-specific incentives, dealer discounts, and promotional financing


• Regional destination charges or additional regional fees beyond the standard screenshot

Because these factors can vary, the actual advertised MSRP on a 2015 Trax window sticker could be higher or lower than the base trim figures shown above.

Used value context

For buyers researching today, the price of a 2015 Trax in the used market depends on mileage, condition, maintenance history, and regional demand, not the original MSRP. Check current listings and vehicle histories for an accurate picture of a used example's value.

Summary

The 2015 Chevy Trax offered three trims with starting MSRPs in the low-$20k range for the base LS, rising to the mid-$20k range for LT, and into the upper-$20k range for LTZ, before applying the $995 destination charge. Actual prices varied by dealer, region, and optional equipment, so consult archival pricing sheets or window stickers from that model year for precise figures.

How much is a 2015 Chevy Trax worth?

A 2015 Chevrolet Trax LT Sport Utility 4D has depreciated $4,265 or 53% in the last 3 years and has a current resale value of $3,640 and trade-in value of $2,096.

Do Chevy Trax hold their value?

No, Chevy Trax models generally do not hold their value as well as many competitors; they tend to depreciate faster than the average subcompact SUV. While a newer model might have better residual value than an older one, the trend shows a significant loss of value over the first few years of ownership, with a depreciation rate around 44% within three years for recent models. 
Factors contributing to the depreciation rate

• Depreciation rate: A new Chevrolet Trax depreciates about 47.3% after five years, which is higher than the average for its category (42%). Newer generations are in the bottom to middle percentile for value retention.
• Market demand: Despite its depreciation, the Trax remains popular in the used market due to its affordability and features, which can offset some of the depreciation for buyers.
• Competition: The competitive landscape of subcompact SUVs includes models that retain their value better, putting pressure on the Trax's resale value. 

How to estimate value

• Timeframe: The value retention is worse in the long term. After 10 years, the residual value drops significantly. 
• Conditions: The Trax holds its value better if it is well-maintained and driven less than the average. 
• Depreciation: You can expect a depreciation of approximately $13,487 after 5 years for a 2024 model. 

Is a 2015 Chevy Trax a good car?

A 2015 Chevy Trax can be a good car for city driving due to its maneuverability and reasonable fuel economy, but it has mixed reviews regarding its engine power and has been subject to some consumer complaints about mechanical issues. Its positive attributes include a high safety rating and a quiet, well-insulated cabin. 
Pros

• Urban maneuverability: Its small size and tight turning radius make it easy to navigate in the city. 
• High safety ratings: The 2015 model received a five-star overall government safety rating and top ratings from the IIHS. 
• Comfortable and quiet cabin: Reviews mention a well-insulated interior that keeps road noise to a minimum. 
• Practical storage: It offers decent cargo space for its class, with features like a flat-folding front passenger seat for long items. 
• Lower-than-average repair costs: The average annual repair cost is low, and the frequency of major issues is uncommon, according to RepairPal. 

Cons

• Underpowered engine: Some owners find the turbocharged 1.4-liter engine is underpowered, especially when accelerating uphill. 
• Mechanical concerns: Some consumers have reported issues with the turbocharger, compressor, and other components. 
• Interior quality: Some competitors may have more premium-feeling interiors. 
• Limited rear-seat space: The back seat can be tight for adults, especially when using car seats. 

Overall
The 2015 Chevy Trax is best suited for drivers who prioritize a small, safe, and easy-to-park vehicle for city commuting. Those who need strong acceleration for highway driving or regularly carry adult passengers might find it lacking. Be sure to consider its age and potential for wear and tear, especially if looking at used models with higher mileage.

How many miles does a 2015 Chevy Trax last?

A 2015 Chevy Trax can be expected to last 150,000 to 200,000 miles with proper maintenance and care, which typically translates to 10 to 15 years of use. This lifespan is achievable through consistent maintenance like oil changes and timely fluid checks, as well as a driving style that avoids excessive strain on the engine and transmission. Factors like driving habits, climate, and using high-quality parts can significantly influence its longevity.
 
Key factors for longevity

• Regular maintenance: Following the recommended service schedule is crucial. 
  • Ensure timely oil changes and tire rotations. 
  • Keep up with fluid checks and top-offs. 
• Driving habits: How you drive makes a big difference. 
  • Drive gently with smooth acceleration and braking. 
  • Avoid aggressive driving behaviors that cause unnecessary stress on components. 
  • Highway miles are generally less taxing than city driving. 
• Environmental factors: The environment your car is exposed to matters. 
  • Drive in a moderate climate if possible, as extreme temperatures put more stress on the vehicle. 
  • Protect the car from corrosion by washing off road salt and protecting it from excessive sun exposure. 

Real-world examples

• Some owners have reported their 2015 Trax reaching well over 100,000 miles with only minor issues, such as replacing the AC or spark plugs. 
• There are even reports of some 2015 Trax models exceeding 300,000 miles, though this required significant work, like replacing the emission system, notes Reddit users. 
• While "high mileage" is often considered to start around 150,000 miles, a well-maintained vehicle can still perform reliably far beyond this point, and a neglected 100,000-mile car can be a worse investment than a higher-mileage, well-cared-for one, according to Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville.
