2021 Chevrolet Trax review

1. Agreeable performance

The 2021 Chevy Trax is a small SUV with a firm ride and steady handling that's great for zipping through the city or cruising on the highway. With the Trax's quick steering, you'll be able to glide through parking lots and side streets with ease. Its smaller footprint also makes this SUV a dream to maneuver. Offered with available all-wheel drive, the 2021 Trax is a capable option for commuting or running errands. The turbocharged 155-hp 1.4L four-cylinder with 177 lb-ft of torque also provides plenty of punch.

2. Tasteful cabin

From the first moment you climb inside the 2021 Trax, you'll feel at home in its comfortable five-passenger cabin that includes thoughtful touches throughout. Eye-catching contrasting stitching accents the SUV's upholstery and soft-touch materials provide a rich feel to tactile surfaces. The 2021 Trax's high seating position and expansive headroom also add to the cabin's spaciousness. Anchoring the dash is a dual-cockpit that provides attractive symmetry and easy access to the vehicle's infotainment system and controls.

3. Cargo versatility

The Trax is designed with several reconfigurable features that make cargo management a snap. With all seats in place, the 2021 model offers seating for five passengers and 18.7 cu-ft of cargo volume for luggage or groceries. However, folding the 60/40-split rear seat and the fold-flat front passenger seat transforms the cabin into a cargo hauler that can hold eight-foot long items and 48.4 cu ft of volume.

4. Integrated tech

The 2021 Chevy Trax keeps the world at your fingertips with the inclusion of numerous integrated tech features. The standard Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system is intuitive and easy to use with a seven-inch touchscreen display offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities. An available 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot also lets you stay in touch while you're on the go, while the standard rearview monitor enhances your visibility while in reverse.

5. Available package selection

Chevrolet Trax configurations for the 2021 model year include two well-equipped trims, but if you want more bells and whistles, Chevy offers seven incredible packages to spiff up your ride. The Sport Edition adds gloss black accents, including 18-inch aluminum wheels, bowtie emblems, and skid plates for more curb appeal. There's also a Driver Confidence Package with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear park assist to help you on your commute. Need something to cut winter's chill? Look for the Premium Seat Package to gain leatherette upholstery and heated front seats.
