The trunk is on the small side, offering only 18.7 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, but I found it to be surprisingly usable. After a few hours behind the wheel of the Trax, I found my legs beginning to get sore. In fact, none of the seats in the Trax are particularly comfortable. With an acceptable 35.7 inches of rear legroom, adults do fit in the back of the Trax, but the seats aren’t the most comfortable. With the roof set so high, there is plenty of headroom in both the front and rear seats with 38.8 inches in both cases. The Trax looks smaller from the outside than it really is thanks to its tall roof and short length.
AWD Trax is rated to average 24 MPG in the city and 31MPG on the highway. During a few hours of mostly city driving, I was right on those estimates averaging a respectable 28.5 MPG. Trax is rated at 26 MPG city and 34 MPG highway. The good news is the automatic is as smooth as the engine it is mated to.Įquipped with front-wheel drive, the 2,805-lb.

The six-speed manual available on base models in other markets, including Canada, will not be offered in the US. Standard on all U.S.-spec Trax models will be a six-speed automatic transmission sending power to either the front or all four wheels. SEE ALSO: 2015 Chevrolet Trax, First Look Video Best of all, the Trax’s engine still runs on regular gasoline despite its turbocharger. As I’ve stated before, this engine behaves a lot like a turbocharged diesel. Climbing the foothills around San Diego was no problem for the Trax, but power does taper off at freeway speeds. With oodles of low-end torque, the 1.4 turbo feels far more powerful than it really is. Like any GM vehicle equipped with this powerplant, the numbers can be deceiving. Like the Buick Encore that the Trax shares a platform with, the only engine available is a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 138 HP and 148 lb-ft.
