Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
- Rating applies to 2024 models
Tested vehicle: 2024 Chevrolet Trax LT 4-door 2wd
The Chevrolet Trax was redesigned for the 2024 model year and the Buick Envista, a new small SUV, was introduced to Buick's lineup. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2024 Trax conducted by General Motors as part of frontal crash test verification.

Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination: |
Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was fair on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves, fair on the sharp left curve and inadequate on the gradual left curve.
The low beams never exceeded glare limits.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was inadequate on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was fair on both right curves and inadequate on both left curves.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway and on the gradual left curve.
