2019 Chevrolet Trax Review

2019 Chevrolet Trax Review - Behind time last year, we invited a Chevrolet Trax to contend versus five from its peers in a comparison test. Although its own roomy inner parts and remarkably composed taking care of satisfied us, the Chevy's affordable cabin and also "terminally plain" exterior layout ultimately permitted it down. When the dirt cleared up and also ball games were actually counted, the Trax finished in sixth location among six.


 Scurrying Dash
Fortunately, our very most damning gripes have actually been at least mostly attended to in Chevy's refresh from the Trax for the 2019 model year. An all-new control panel is primped along with details like offered different sewing, chrome emphases, and an analog speedometer that snuggles around a brand new 3.5-inch digital information display. A boosted 7.0-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system adds both Apple CarPlay as well as Android Automotive being compatible as well as right now additionally features a bodily handle for quantity the upper hand, and also a quartet of added challenging switches. Unfortunately, the new dashboard's enhanced perceived high quality comes at the price from last year's lidded dashtop-mounted storage bin and secondary glovebox. On the other hand, the Trax's door boards continue to be actually lined in low-priced plastic, and also the front passenger seat does not have an inboard armrest.

As in the past, the slab-sided Trax's hatch ready for unveil a class-competitive 19 cubic feets from freight area responsible for its 60/40-split back bench. The back backside can accommodate two comfortably as well as three in a dash. Folding up the rears increases payload space to 48 cubic feet, while a fold-flat face passenger backside extras a lot more adaptability. Recently offered security and ease attributes include blind-spot surveillance, lane-departure precaution, as well as back cross-traffic as well as forward-collision alert devices, along with a distance key along with push-button beginning. Each from those things comes criterion on the $26,995 Trax Premier, plus all are actually accessible as extra bonus on the midline, $23,795 Trax LT. None from these functions is offered on the bottom-of-the-barrel, $21,895 LS.




Definitely, Truly, Generically Attractive
Regardless of the trim, all 2019 Chevrolet Trax versions use Chevy's beautiful, if somewhat generic, corporate face. The brand new mug leaves behind a visual impression that the Trax is actually both taller and broader compared to in the past, even though both sizes are actually unmodified. Overall size, having said that, is down by 1.3 inches.

While bottom Trax LS versions make do with a collection of regular halogen-bulb fronts lights and daytime running lights, LT and Premier examples class points up along with a pair from projector-beam headlights as well as LED operating illuminations. A brand new rear bumper as well as slightly modified taillights accomplish the 2017 improvement.

Traxadaisical Functionality
In spite of its own freshened appeals, the Trax is dynamically unchanged starting with in 2013. Drive continues to come thanks to a 138-hp 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder motor-- the Trax doesn't receive the latest, 153-hp 1.4-liter turbo that's readily available in its sibling auto, the Buick Repetition-- mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed transmission. Front-wheel drive is conventional, as are actually back drum brakes; however, four-wheel drive as well as a collection from rear disks could be contributed to any type of Trax slick for $1500. Excellent low-end torque-- the Trax's optimum from 148 lb-ft is offered at 1850 rpm-- assists in low-speed velocity. As rates raise, however, the little mill experiences perilously worn, particularly when equipped with all-wheel drive. The last all-wheel-drive Trax our experts checked, in the mentioned comparison exam, had a lazy 9.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour, and also our experts have no need to strongly believe a 2017 design is going to be actually any type of quicker. Regardless of the number of wheels are actually steered, however, the Trax sips fuel more quickly in comparison to do competitors such as the Honda HR-V as well as the Mazda CX-3. Front-wheel-drive Trax models are rated at 25 mpg in the metropolitan area and Thirty Three mpg on the highway (below the 2016 design's score from 26/34 mpg), while all-wheel-drive versions register figures of 24/30 mpg (below 24/31).



As previously, the Trax flights comfortably sufficient, particularly when outfitted with the LS or even LT's 16-inch steering wheels as well as tires. (Our team located that the Premier's 18-inch steering wheels and also inconspicuous tires permit a fair volume from impact cruelty in to the log cabin during the course of our ride via Chicago.) Meanwhile, fast steerage and limited body scroll contribute to the Trax's agile driving experience, and a high H-point and also reduced beltline improve the auto's sense of maneuverability.

No doubt, the 2019 Chevrolet Trax is actually a noticeable improvement over in 2013's design, as its own rested styling as well as control panel, as well as added security attributes, put a great layer of polish on a number of the automobile's duller facets. Still, the Trax efforts versus its staying dull components, chiefly its own stretched powertrain.
