New Chevrolet Trax: small engine, increased dimensions
The compact crossover Chevrolet Trax has changed its generation: the new car has become a little longer and lower than its predecessor, received an attractive design with developed wheel arches, a massive radiator grille, and an expanded list of versions.
One of these is the Chevrolet Trax ACTIV version (pale green car), which seems to emphasize the desire for adventure and is distinguished by its design: pay attention to the front bumper or black wheels. By the way, the Chevrolet Trax RS version (red car) also stands out due to its design; can be compared in the photos below.
However, even in this version, the Chevrolet Trax crossover can only offer front-wheel drive: from now on, there will be no all-wheel drive at all. And there is no choice of engines – a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder “turbo” with a capacity of 137-139 hp (depending on the measurement method) with a torque of 219 Nm is installed under the hood. A 6-speed “automatic” is appointed as the partner of the engine.
But what makes the new Chevrolet Trax crossover stand out is its modern equipment. Count for yourself: six active safety systems even in the basic configuration, support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless technologies, an active noise reduction system, a central 8- or 11-inch display (depending on the version), etc. By the way, depending on the selected version of the car, the interior (seat trim and decorative stitching) also change.
In the home market of the USA, the car will be available for sale from the spring of 2023. The estimated cost is from $21,500 to $25,000 for the most equipped versions, such as the aforementioned ACTIV or RS. Would you buy it for yourself?
