Jim Butler Chevrolet of St. Louis proudly presents city-smart vehicle that can handle almost any adventure with the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. This incredible vehicle — Chevrolet’s seventh small vehicle launched in the past four years — combines the agility of a compact car with the capabilities of an SUV.
The small SUV segment projects nearly 80 percent growth in the next few years, and the Trax goes on sale in early 2015 at Jim Butler Chevrolet. Though it can be seen as an SUV, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax performs efficiently with a standard turbocharged engine that delivers power on demand and segment-leading, EPA-estimated 34 highway mpg.
Yet the 2015 Trax provides more for owners than a fuel-efficient SUV with compact agility. Below are 20 reasons why the new Chevrolet Trax will make its mark with its maneuverability,
technology and versatility.
