The Trax’s brakes are strong and stop the tiny Chevy without drama.ĭespite it surprisingly roomy interior, the Trax is still a small vehicle. Buzzing around town can also be pretty amusing. Steering is responsive and makes easy work of navigating tight parking lots. The ride is firm and turning produces less body roll than the Trax’s slightly tall stance might suggest. The Trax is equipped with ten-airbags, an acoustic windshield that reduces road and wind noise, power windows and door locks and a 7-inch color infotainment screen with a six-speaker audio system. It can be slow to downshift, but it’s safe to assume Trax buyers don’t expect a sporty and super responsive driving experience. Though the only transmission option is a six-speed automatic, it’s decent and provides smooth shifts without much fuss. The engine also is noisy, giving at least an audible impression that its acceleration is strong. It’s got a respectable amount of acceleration off the line, but its punch and pulling power flattens out as the revs climb. The Trax’s 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 138 horsepower, which is a little light for a vehicle of any size, even in this segment. Chevrolet does a good job of integrating its familial exterior styling into the Trax. The interior styling also follows Chevy’s budget, but does manage to squeeze in a few quality-seeming materials. This is likely an easy way for Chevy to make the Trax look more rugged while saving on paint costs. Lower trim levels are burdened with an allover plastic look. That’s despite the black plastic panels used along the lower bumper areas and down each side of the vehicle. The top-tier Premier trim nearly manages to pull off a sleek appearance with larger wheels and body-colored door handles. There’s not much to say about the Trax’s styling, other than that it’s inoffensive and pleasant, if not cutting edge, and some buyers view that as a virtue. Offered in LS, LT, and Premier trim levels with one engine and transmission choice across the model line, it’s the embodiment of why the keep-it-simple ethos works. The Chevrolet Trax comes in three trim levels and just one powertrain option. Billed as a five-passenger vehicle, it’s a given in this category that the rear seat passengers best be on friendly terms. But the Trax offers 18.7 cubic-feet of cargo room behind the second-row seat versus the Corolla’s 13-cubic-foot trunk. For context, consider that the 100.6-inch wheelbase of the Trax is 5.7-inches shorter than the 106.3-inch wheelbase of the current Toyota Corolla. The smallest SUV in the Chevrolet lineup, its profile gives it the appearance of a larger vehicle, but it’s not. That scenario has placed the spotlight directly overhead the pint-sized Chevrolet Trax compact SUV that is positioned as an alternative to the traditional sub-compact car. The SUVs and pickup market has exploded in recent years alongside consumers’ increased appetite for higher ride height and larger cargo areas. ![]()
