The Trax comes standard with a well-integrated, easy-to-use touchscreen mounted at the top of the dashboard. Interior, Comfort, and CargoĪ high seating position and expansive headroom make the Trax's cabin feel airy and spacious, but it actually has less rear-seat room and cargo space than several of its competitors. The Soul not only achieved better fuel economy but also provided a whopping 63-hp advantage over the Trax and accelerated to 60 mph nearly three seconds quicker. The front-wheel-drive Trax underperformed in our highway fuel-economy test, falling short of its EPA number with a 29-mpg result. The Trax's drivetrain provides a subpar combination of fuel efficiency and acceleration that is worse than its rivals.
There's not much variation among the Trax's competitive set in terms of fuel economy, both by the EPA's standards and in our real-world testing.
2017 Chevrolet Trax Tested: Small Stands Tall.The Trax's brakes are among the strongest in its class, and the pedal feels firm and confidence-inspiring. There's less leaning in corners than you'd expect given the Trax's tall stature, although the handling isn't as responsive and eager as competitors such as the CX-3 and the Soul. A firm ride and steady handling give the Trax a feeling of solidity, and quick steering makes it agile in parking lots and urban areas. A front-wheel-drive Trax Premier required a languid 9.3 seconds to reach 60 mph in our acceleration testing. The six-speed automatic is smooth enough, but often executes sluggish shifts and is sometimes reluctant to downshift. However, as soon as you need to pass or merge on the highway, the engine runs out of steam, providing more noise than actual acceleration when you step on it. Around town, the engine's turbocharger provides a decent amount of low-end punch. The turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder makes 138 horsepower, a low number for this segment, and it's buzzy and unrefined. Only one engine is offered in the Trax, and it's not a great one.
