2017 CHEVROLET TRAX REVIEWS DRIVERS
When driven enthusiastically around turns, the Trax is competent, but the uncommunicative steering and modest tire grip prevent drivers from enjoying any real engagement. A busy ride, combined with the Trax's short wheelbase and somewhat vague steering, can generate a lack of straight-line stability on the highway, and you'll likely find yourself making frequent, albeit minor, steering corrections. It gets worse with the LTZ model and its 18-inch wheels. The LS and LT models are better riding because of their 16-inch wheels, but even so the ride can get choppy. With its small, urban-oriented footprint, the 2017 Chevrolet Trax is both easier to park and more maneuverable than larger crossovers. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Trax its highest possible rating of Good in its small-overlap and moderate-overlap front-impact tests as well as a Good score for the side-impact, roof strength and head restraint (whiplash protection) tests. In government crash tests, the 2017 Trax received a top five-star rating overall, with five stars for total front-impact safety and five stars for total side crash safety.

The Premier's Driver Confidence II package adds forward collision alert and lane departure warning. The Driver Confidence package (standard on Premier and optional for the LT) includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Both stopping distances are about average for this class.Ī rearview camera is standard on all versions, and additional advanced safety features are standard or optional depending on trim.
At the Edmunds test track, an LTZ AWD came to a halt from 60 mph in 120 feet, and an LT required 122 feet. Also standard is OnStar, which includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, remote door unlocking and stolen vehicle assistance.įront-wheel-drive models have front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, while all-wheel-drive versions have four-wheel disc brakes. The 2017 Chevrolet Trax comes standard with antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front-seat side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, and knee airbags for the driver and front passenger. Overall, though, the 2017 Trax is more attractive and competitive this year, and it's certainly worth a look if interior space is a priority. The Jeep Renegade brings a bit of off-road ruggedness to the mix, while its corporate cousin, the Fiat 500X, upstages the Trax with its Italian design. The sporty Mazda CX-3 and the roomy Honda HR-V are smart choices, and they deliver excellent fuel economy to boot. If these are areas of concern, you might be happier with one of the Trax's rivals. The Trax is still a relative underperformer for fuel economy, and its ride quality on rough roads isn't the smoothest. Unfortunately, Chevrolet didn't address all of the Trax's existing deficiencies.
Several new options are available as well, such as keyless entry and ignition and advanced safety features.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone app integration are new this year and relegate navigation duties to your phone's default app rather than the last year's BringGo premium app. Inside, the instrument panel has a more traditional and flowing look to it, which we like better than last year's blocky dash. The refreshed car has new grille and headlight designs, both of which look similar to newer Chevy vehicles such as the Spark and Sonic. The exterior differences between the 20 Trax are immediately obvious.
