Rolling off the assembly line for the first time in 2015, the Chevy Trax is a pint-sized SUV with plenty of power and versatility. With its impressive amount of interior space and impeccable handling, we love this compact crossover for providing the usefulness of an SUV with the maneuverability of a sedan. Moreover, with two practical trim levels, the 2021 Chevy Trax is the perfect blend of efficiency and affordability.
1. Turbocharged Engine
Both trims feature a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 148lb-ft of torque and 138 horsepower, which is an impressive amount of power for a compact SUV. With all-wheel drive as an available option, the standard six-speed automatic transmission allows for a smooth and silky ride.
2. Economically Practical
We love the affordability of this sporty little SUV. With a base level price of $21,400, the Trax provides a high level of value for the purchase price. Another fantastic benefit of a smaller SUV is the fuel economy. The front-wheel-drive models of the Chevy Trax achieve an approximate 26 miles per gallon on city roads and 31 miles per gallon on the highway.
If you opt for an all-wheel-drive model, you can anticipate 24 miles per gallon in the city and 29 miles per gallon during highway driving. With so many costs associated with car ownership, we appreciate the fact that the Trax saves us money on fuel. The Trax is an excellent choice as a commuter vehicle and perfect for the driver on a budget.
3. Cargo Space
Chevrolet has added numerous practical features to the Trax that make it a versatile vehicle. This crossover compact provides plenty of trunk space for your luggage and gear. We also love the flat-folding backseat and front seat that allows you to create the ideal space for transporting furniture, groceries, or building supplies.
While many vehicles offer flat-folding 60/40splitting backseat, the Chevy Trax allows for the front seat to fold perfectly flat as well. You’ll be able to transport items up to eight feet in length with the passenger seat folded flat.
4. Room for Passengers
When the seats are not collapsed, you have plenty of passenger room in the 2021 Trax. The backseat provides plenty of legroom and headroom for passengers of all sizes, with even adults fitting comfortably.
There are also multiple seating features you can choose to upgrade your vehicle with. Features such as leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, and heated front seats increase comfort. With a newly raised driver’s seat, the outward visibility allowed in the Chevy Trax makes for a safer drive.
5. Current Technology
There’s nothing obsolete about the technology provided in the Chevy Trax. Chevrolet’s popular Infotainment 3 System is offered standard on both trims and provides effortless integration of your cellular device through either Apple Carplay or Android Auto. The seven-inch screen on the infotainment center is easy to read, and the system is very user-friendly.
If you value practicality, versatility, and maneuverability in the vehicles you drive, a Chevy Trax is the compact SUV for you! Come on out to Bommarito Chevrolet South County and take one for a drive today.
