In spite of having the impression of a subcompact auto the Trax measures 66 inches tall. It resembles a tall fiveentryway hatchback with a curved roofline tall hood and appealingly etched bodysides that dont pass on a chunk sided look. Bring down body components look like elastic indicating at inborn roughness. That is something of a fantasy as the Trax is not really prepared for wild trekking even with allwheel drive. 

In spite of its official fivetraveler limit Trax in the same way as other littler vehicles situates close to four grownups serenely. 

Controlled taking care of and an agreeable ride are engaging and responsive electric power directing yields great mobility however theres nothing especially energetic about a Trax.

WALKAROUND 

Despite the fact that Trax creators obtained styling prompts from Chevy trucks putting them on a tall hatchbackstyle body the general impact is non specific. Overall Trax shows up far less recognized than Buicks Encore. With the exception of front entryways the two share nothing. 

Chevrolet seems to have taken the protected course contrasted and the look of a Jeep Renegade MINI Countryman or Nissan Juke. The final product is tame however unseasoned. Notwithstanding we think the Traxs somewhat squarish body lines fall off superior to the Buicks gathering of shapely swoops and metallic laces. 

The base Trax LS has dark entryway reflect platforms and needs chrome beltline strips flagging its lowspending nature. Rooftop rails are truant which incidentally brings about a cleaner appearance. 

Inside 

Inside Trax adjusts Chevrolets twin cockpit styling topic to a more down to earth upright design while showing a comparative bike impact. The instrument group itself is practically indistinguishable to the one in the Chevrolet Sonic. The standard 3.5inch monochrome show screen holds a computerized speedometer. 

The straightforwardness and trim in a Trax ooze a practically lively tone however weakened by plenteous hard dark plastics. That is one indication of costcutting on lowerend models.

DRIVING IMPRESSION 

With such a little motor execution isnt a solid point. Speeding up is great up to around 50 mph however then the Trax starts to lose life. At the point when a burst of vitality is required for passing wellbeing concerns direct preparing. Commonly peaceful the motor gets significantly noisier past 3500 rpm. Notwithstanding unassuming motor power transmission outfitting goes for efficient aroundtown driving. 

Taking care of positions about normal for a little utility vehicle unremarkable and nonlively yet very much controlled. In spite of the fact that it feels strong on the interstate and the suspension drenches up knocks sensibly well a Trax isnt about as much enjoyable to drive as a Mazda CX3 or Jeep Renegade. 

On the in addition to side guiding weight feels about comfortable any speed with satisfactory criticism to the driver. The electric power guiding gives great onfocus following limiting fluctuation from the sought way on straightaways. No rattling or squeaking is probably going to achieve tenants ears. 

A Trax with allwheel drive Trax rides a large portion of an inch higher and feels somewhat heavier than a Trax with frontwheel drive. Expect some body roll however the generally wide track takes out any feeling of fast approaching tipover. Proposed to enhance footing in harsh climate as opposed to allow rough terrain treks. AWD incorporates raise plate brakes set up of drum brakes. 

At up to 29 mpg EPA Combined efficiency is great yet the Honda HRV and Mazda CX3 are more parsimonious. With frontwheel drive the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) gauges 26/34 mpg City/Highway. Allwheel drive drops evaluations to 24/31 mpg.

Rundown 

Short on energy in both appearance and parkway execution Trax scores high in mileage and wellbeing highlights. Qualifying as Chevrolets minimum costly model with accessible allwheel drive Trax conveys the greater part of the elements of the bigger Chevrolet Equinox. 

Driving impressions by Kirk Bell The Car Connection. James M. Flammang added to this report. 

We envision the discussion among Chevrolets item organizers that prompted to a greenlight for a USspec Chevrolet Trax went something like this Hello the Buick Encore is offering like distraught. Its demonstrated that individuals cherish subcompact hybrids. Speedy how about we import a vehicle from Canada. 

Affirm so it most likely didnt go very like that however it appears to be consistent that the US entry of the Trax  which has been on special in the Great White North and different markets since late 2012  had a ton to do with the accomplishment of the Encore. Couple that with the looming landing of the Renegade and maybe Chevy sees a market ready for little crossoverization. 

At the point when the Trax touches base in the US advertise at some unspecified future date (most likely mid 2015) it will have a considerable measure in the same manner as the Encore with which it shares a stage. Underhood the same 1.4liter turbocharged fourchamber will send energy to either the front or to each of the four wheels while creating 138 drive and 148 poundfeet of torque. Its great to see this motor increase another task as its as of now awed in both the Cruze and Sonic. A sixspeed programmed will be the sole gearbox.

In the lodge the Encore and the Trax share indistinguishable estimations implying that travelers in both the front and back ought to have a sensible measure of space.
