- Right Size. Right Look. Right Feel.
- Trax is the smart SUV that's small and nimble enough to navigate the city landscape, yet large enough to seat up to five in comfort – with their stuff. The confident handling is the product of a wide stance and a series of driver control technologies that include standard StabiliTrak®, four-wheel ABS with Panic Brake Assist and Hill Hold Assist, plus traction control and an available on-demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system. You can handle it all – in the all-new Trax.
- You've Got Stuff. It's Got Space.
- Your stuff comes in all shapes and sizes, from wallets to bikes. Trax is designed with this fact in mind. Also, you can keep the essentials close at hand in the conveniently located storage areas within easy reach of the driver, including a storage box located in the middle of the instrument panel. When it comes time to move serious cargo, you'll find it easy to reconfigure the interior, thanks to the 60/40 flip-and-fold rear seat and fold-flat front passenger seat. With the rear seat folded down, Trax opens up a generous 1,371 L (48.4 cu. ft.) of maximum cargo space. You make plans – Trax makes the space.
- Be Your Own DJ
- If you think of music as an essential part of driving, you'll find Trax has all your favourite tracks. All LT and LTZ models feature a standard CD player, MP3 playback and Bluetooth® audio streaming. Choose the available Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 interactive sound system and you can access your music and apps – such as Stitcher SmartRadioTM – directly from your smartphone. A 178 mm (7-in.) Colour Touch Radio screen acts as the hub, although you can also use steering-wheel-mounted controls to make selections. For the ultimate Trax listening experience, choose the available Premium Bose® six-speaker sound system that includes an amplifier. City driving amplified – with Trax.
- Make That A Turbocharged Adventure
- Your city awaits. With a standard 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC® engine, Trax gets you around and about the streets with full authority. Its output is a spirited 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. So what's the advantage of turbocharging? It directs substantially more air into each cylinder, enabling it to optimize each combustion cycle, while an intercooler cools the charged air entering the engine, allowing for more complete combustion and greater power output. Yet unlike many other turbocharged engines, the ECOTEC® runs on regular fuel. Turbocharging not only increases output, it also makes Trax remarkably fuel efficient, with 7.8 L/100 km city and 5.7 L/100 km highway ratings.3
- 10 – It’s More Than A Number
- The city landscape has its own share of hazards. So you should take comfort in the knowledge that Trax includes 10 standard airbags – the most in it’s class4. Count ‘em: dual stage front airbags, knee airbags, and side-impact seat-mounted airbags for the driver and front passenger, plus side-impact seat-mounted outboard rear seat airbags and head curtain side airbags for outboard seating positions. Add the peace of mind that accompanies the standard OnStar®5 system that includes six months of the Directions & Connections Plan with Turn-by-Turn Navigation and RemoteLinkTM. Also included is Automatic Crash Response that can automatically contact an OnStar® Advisor when a collision occurs to help direct emergency service providers to your exact location. That’s just one more way that Trax has your back.
- Think Of It As All-Street Drive
- Maximizing grip can be just as important in city driving as it is off-road. Trax is engineered with that reality in mind with standard traction control and an available on-demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system that automatically adapts to changing road conditions, improving traction by sending power to the wheels with the most grip. The system reverts to front-wheel drive mode, improving fuel efficiency when the added traction isn’t required. That helps Trax earn its place as one of the most fuel efficient AWD vehicles on the road.
