Here's a closer look at why the Trax is a sought-after leader among compact SUVs here at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis.

Striking Design

The Trax's bold and athletic styling is influenced by its larger sibling, the Chevrolet Blazer.

Reliable Turbocharged Power

Under the hood, the Trax features a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, it offers smooth performance for daily driving, with fuel economy ratings of 28 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. 

This efficient powertrain strikes a balance between power and economy, making the Trax an ideal choice for city commutes and longer trips. While it may not offer the raw power of larger SUVs, it delivers a responsive driving experience that is practical and enjoyable for everyday use. 

Thoughtful Interior Design

The Trax's cabin is practical and well-executed, blending comfort with functionality. Higher trims include red-accented turbine air vents and soft-touch materials, adding a touch of flair without feeling overdone. The cabin strikes the perfect balance between affordability and refinement. The thoughtful layout ensures that controls are easy to reach and intuitive to use, while ample passenger space and clever storage solutions enhance everyday usability.

Advanced Technology

Higher trims feature an 11-inch touchscreen infotainment system, while base models come with an 8-inch screen. Both versions support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making connectivity seamless. A backup camera and available digital instrument display enhance convenience.

Comfort and Convenience Features

• Heated flat-bottom steering wheel (2RS trim).

• Remote engine start, available on most trims.

• Evotex seats with stylish accents in premium models.

• Generous rear-seat legroom and USB ports for passenger convenience.

Practical Cargo Space

With 25.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, the Trax provides ample room for daily errands. Folding down the 60/40 split rear bench expands storage to 54.1 cubic feet, accommodating larger loads with ease. This versatile cargo area, combined with the Trax's compact size, makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a practical yet spacious SUV without sacrificing maneuverability.
