Looking for a city-friendly compact SUV? The five-passenger 2021 Chevy Trax comes fully equipped to handle both short city trips and longer drives out of town. With a pepped-up performance, easy maneuverability, and impressive fuel economy, this stylish SUV seamlessly blends work and play. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Chevy Trax before you visit your dealership.
The Chevy Trax Basics
The new Chevy Trax is a practical commuter vehicle for the driver who wants the versatility of an SUV without the price tag. This is a value purchase considering all the features in the package. The new Chevy Trax comes in two trims designed for a specific style of driving. The LS trim starts at $21,400 and comes with incredible features to guarantee safety, convenience, and comfort.
The higher LT trim beginning at $23,200 ups the game with exciting add-ons in the exclusive driver confidence package, premium seat package, and the LT convenience package. The Redline LT Edition comes with 18-inch black-finish aluminum wheels with red accent stripes and a black Trax badge with a red outline. The Midnight Edition introduces a custom all-black look which the LT Sport Edition retains but without the mosaic black metallic exterior color.
Engine and Performance
The new Chevy Trax features a fuel-efficient 1.4L turbocharged EcoTec four-cylinder engine on both trims. The engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission to deliver 138 HP and 148 lb.-ft. of torque. The default setup is the front-wheel-drive (FWD) with the all-wheel-drive (AWD) optional. The front-wheel-drive Trax gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg (city) and 31 mpg (highway). This balance of power and fuel economy makes this the ultimate car for city driving.
Comfy Interior
For a compact SUV, the new Chevy Trax packs a punch when it comes to the interior. The seating configuration allows plenty of room for passengers and cargo. Outstanding interior features include:
- Standard cloth upholstery
- Manually adjustable front seats
- Single-zone manual climate control
- Four-way manual driver’s seat
- Two-way manual front passenger’s seat
The LS trim adds deluxe cloth upholstery, heated front seats, a 120V power outlet, synthetic leather upholstery, a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Spacious Interior
The Chevy Trax offers room for five passengers. You get 18.7 cubic feet with the rear seats up. When folded, you get 48.4 cubic feet. The flexibility offered by the flat-folding front passenger’s seatback and 60/40 split-folding rear bench creates room for more cargo space.
