It’s an intuitive system and one of my favorites. For a smallish vehicle, this is an extraordinary amount of space and shows the versatility of the Trax for city slickers.Ī 7-inch touchscreen helps power the infotainment system which uses GM’s MyLink interface. Fold the second row flat and you have access to 48.4 cubic feet of cargo space. This is better than similarly sized sedans (better than Cruze). Behind the second row there’s 18.7 cubic feet of space. Rear leg room is 35.8 inches, but it’s more the shoulder room that would keep you from fitting three adults comfortably in the backseat of the Trax. The rear seat can accommodate two average-sized adults or three kids.

But, looking past the sparse interior, you appreciate a vehicle that provides ample space and comfort for all passengers.įront headroom is 39.6 inches and rear headroom is 38.8 inches, all thanks to the unique exterior styling I mentioned.

It’s not the cheap plastic that GM used to put in economy vehicles, but it’s not soft or luxurious either. There are few soft materials found anywhere. Inside, you have to appreciate the Trax for what it is, and not for what it isn’t. At the lower RPMs, both the engine and transmission shine. But, consider the demographic of this vehicle is urban dwellers, and you realize it’s the right engine and right output for an urban environment. It’s slow off the line and takes a while to get to highway speeds. A six-speed automatic transmission assists the engine, neither of which are very inspiring. Despite the turbo, the Trax feels and drives under powered. The Trax has a 1.4-liter, turbocharged engine. It certainly is one of those vehicles that some will love or hate, like the Fiat 500, Kia Soul or Nissan Cube. While Chevy sometimes pays attention to styling touches, the overall aesthetics of the Trax are meant to be more functional than stylish. The overall looks of the Trax are different from other Chevy vehicles.

That bubbly design feature continues along the roofline and not losing it’s height until the C-pillar, which means even the rear passengers have good head room. So while this may give the Trax a more rounded, different look, it’s actually quite functional, aiding in interior cabin space. The highest point of the Trax is in between the A and B pillars, which is right where the front passengers’ heads go. The Trax has a rounded, elevated appearance.
