Above 3,500 rpm, the 1.4-liter engine is a noisy travel companion-and it doesn't make up for that screaming with much additional gumption. Still, the same engine characteristics that make the Trax great around town also contribute to it not being the best freeway cruiser.

Shelling out for the top-trim LTZ brings nicer two-tone vinyl upholstery and console parts covered in patterned trim.

That instrument panel sees a 3.5-inch monochrome screen, which displays a numeric speedometer along with vital vehicle details and warning lights, placed beside a tachometer situated to its left.Ĭhevrolet's designers used black upholstery on Trax base models, but it's visually broken up with blue contrast stitching to relieve the effort of potential grimness.

As the base LS model is for budget-conscious buyers, it wears some fairly sensible footwear in the form of steel wheels with plastic wheel covers.
