The Chevrolet Trax is SUV ingenuity in motion

We start with the 2025 Chevrolet Trax, the practical crossover designed for drivers who adapt to every twist of life. Its compact form expertly navigates through tight streets and coastal parking spots, while every detail inside its elegant interior is well-thought-out, roomy, intuitive, and built for grocery runs, weekend escapes, and the everyday moments that connect them.

Once you’re inside, the 11-inch colour touchscreen and 8-inch digital driver display create a refined, modern interface that keeps everything within easy reach. The cabin has smart storage throughout, from deep door pockets to adjustable seating that folds flat for larger hauls.

Let’s talk trims. The base LS trim offers tech upgrades like remote start, wireless smartphone integration, and active safety features that make driving feel effortless. The 1RS trim embodies a sportier edge with black bowtie emblems and stylish 18-inch machined wheels. The LT trim features a larger touchscreen display, adaptive cruise control, and refined two-tone wheels. For those who love bold design, the 2RS trim added luxuries like red interior accents and a flat-bottom heated steering wheel. And the ACTIV trim blends modern sophistication and monochromatic styling with 8-way power seating and unique accent detailing.

The cargo capacity is impressive for its class — ~1,530 L with rear seats folded. And when it’s time to fill up, the Trax delivers an estimated 8.5 L/100 km in the city and 7.6 L/100 km on the highway, keeping fuel stops few and far between.

With front-wheel drive built for confidence and simplicity, the 2025 Chevrolet Trax feels right at home on every Sunshine Coast road.

The Buick Envista moves with quiet strength

If the Chevrolet Trax is about bold versatility, then the 2025 Buick Envista imbues refined comfort and quiet confidence. Designed for drivers who appreciate clean design and calm spaces, it shares the same 1.2 L turbocharged engine (137 hp, 162 lb-ft torque) and 6-speed automatic as the Trax, yet focuses on smoothness, acoustics, and premium feel.

The difference once you’re in the cabin is immediate. The integrated 11-inch infotainment display with wireless smartphone integration and Buick’s signature QuietTuning® with Active Noise Cancellation stretches across the dash. The result is a serene, modern cabin with automatic climate control and soft-touch materials that wrap you in welcomed tranquility.

The Envista seats five comfortably, offering around 595 L of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to roughly 1,189 L when folded flat. On the road, expect about 8.4 L/100 km in the city and 7.4 L/100 km on the highway, letting you travel farther between stops and enjoy the ride.

The Buick Envista keeps its lineup focused, offering three trims that each carry their own personality. The Preferred model sets the tone, equipped with the essentials, from LED lighting to advanced driver-assistance. Step up to the Sport Touring (ST) and the Envista shows its bolder side, sporting a gloss-black mesh grille, signature ST badging, and available 19-inch wheels. And at the top, the Avenir trim exudes quiet sophistication. Heated flat-bottom steering, exclusive detailing, premium materials, and an available moonroof come together to create a space that’s calm, confident, and unmistakably yours.

On Sunshine Coast roads, the Buick Envista feels right at home as a calm, capable SUV that’s grounded in its own sense of style.
