Standard equipment on the LS includes 16-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, full power accessories, air-conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a 60/40-split-folding rear seat, a fold-flat front passenger seat and a rear cargo cover. Each is available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The 2015 Chevrolet Trax is a five-passenger subcompact crossover offered in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels. Overall, we'd recommend going with one of these models before finding new roads with a Chevrolet Trax. The Mazda has the best on-road dynamics, the Jeep supplies the most credible all-road capability and the Honda's interior provides the best balance between seating comfort and storage space. But the subcompact crossover class is led by Mazda's CX-3, Jeep's Renegade (and its platform mate, the Fiat 500X) and Honda's new HR-V. The Chevrolet Trax does have some good attributes, including relatively roomy seating, a healthy complement of standard features and impressive crash test ratings. Handling and steering are also below par. The ride quality isn't all that great, either, as it can exhibit a fair amount of choppiness on rough roads. Its four-cylinder engine has just enough pep for city driving, but it runs out of steam quickly when you're accelerating at highway speeds. But for tight urban areas where even the smallest cars feel large, the Trax makes more sense.įor general use, though, the 2016 Trax isn't quite as fun as its size might suggest. Those wanting to combine maximum utility along with some towing capability and efficiency would be well served to compare the Trax with Chevy's next-size-up Equinox it provides a significantly larger and more useful footprint for not a significantly higher price point. Between the XS and XXL are the Equinox, Traverse and Tahoe. The 2016 Chevrolet Trax occupies the small end of America's most expansive SUV lineup, beginning here and ending at Chevy's larger-than-life Suburban. The 2016 Chevy Trax takes a more youthful approach to styling than the related Buick Encore. The surprising success of the Encore led Chevrolet to introduce the Trax to American showrooms in 2015. General Motors, however, isn't one of them, having launched Buick's Encore (built atop the same platform as the Trax) in 2013. might just recognise.At a time of lower gas prices, the surging interest in the subcompact crossover segment has surprised quite a few carmakers. Sure, the brand still does 'apple pie and hotdogs' with cars like the V8 Chevrolet Camaro, but it's also serving up dishes that Michel Roux Jr. So here it is, another Chevrolet that's taking the fight to Europe. But we're hopeful, because the Chevrolet Aveo is proof that the company can do competitive ride and handling. The company promises much improved handling and steering, but if refinement and ride comfort are high priorities for you, you'll have to bear with us as we wait to get our hands on a right-hand-drive car in the UK. Chevrolet has said that the UK will be getting its own chassis tuning, which is a good thing as the European left-hand-drive Trax simply isn't good enough. However, fold the rear seats down and you've got a 1370 litres of space. The only slight caveat is that the boot is a bit on the small side with all the seats upright. And the Trax does the usual flex-seating thing, with even the front passenger seat folding flat so you can carry objects nearly 2.3 metres long. Inside all models you'll find reasonable space with good head and legroom for four adults (officially it's five, but that would be a bit of a squeeze).
