The 2024 Chevy Trax Outsold Every Cadillac Combined in Q3

The Chevrolet Trax is cheap, fresh, and all-new for the 2024 model year. It's quickly winning favor with cost-conscious buyers, with the model impressing in the sales charts in its first year of sale.

With prices for all trims starting under $25,000, it's no surprise the Trax is pulling in sales. Look at GM's third-quarter sales figures for this year, and you'll see some mighty interesting numbers. Chief among them is the Trax's quarterly result, up 498% compared to Q3 last year. That figure is somewhat misleading, with sales last year limited by the discontinuation of the last-generation Trax at the end of the 2022 model year. Regardless, with 37,869 units sold in Q3, it's Chevrolet's third-best-selling vehicle right now, behind the Silverado and Equinox.

Indeed, the Trax has been selling well since its release in Q2 this year, racking up 65,255 units in total. That eclipses the number Chevrolet sold in 2021 and 2022, with 42,590 and 26,597 units sold respectively. The Trax's best year on record was in 2019, with 116,816 sold. If the new model can keep shifting units at the current rate for a full year, it could readily smash that record. In other amusing statistics, Chevrolet sold more units of the Trax in Q3 than all of Cadillac combined, with the luxury brand shifting 35,638 units in the same time period.
