2021 Chevrolet Trax

The first thing you'll notice about the 2021 Trax is its forward-focused design that gives it an energetic, ready-to-pounce stance. On the LS, this distinctive look gets a boost from features like intricately designed 16-inch wheels, halogen reflector lights, and beautifully sculpted tail lamps. The LT adds power mirrors with heating functionality, deep-tinted glass, and projector-beam headlights. You can swap out the standard wheels for black 18-inch wheels with sport red striping, or Silver Ice, Shadow Gray, and Crimson colors. If you add the available Midnight Package, your Trax will come with sophisticated black accents.

When it comes to delivering power, the 2021 Trax doesn't disappoint. Under the hood, you'll find a 138-horsepower, 1.4-liter Turbo EcoTec four-cylinder engine that generates 148 pound-feet of torque. With that much power, you can use your Trax to tow up to 1,263 pounds. Even more impressive is the Trax's 31-mpg highway rating, which comes courtesy of the engine's multiport fuel injection and variable valve timing.

The Chevrolet Trax's performance dynamics are just as impressive as its powerful engine. An electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission makes the four-cylinder more responsive while delivering smooth acceleration and effortless handling. While an agile front-wheel drive comes standard, you have the option of upgrading to all-wheel drive. This innovative system enables the Trax to adapt quickly to changes in road conditions in order to provide maximum stability and control.

Inside the Trax, you'll find seating for five and up to 48.4 cubic feet of cargo space. With eight seating configurations, you can give everyone plenty of room to stretch out and relax or accommodate cargo of all shapes and sizes. The LS trim's premium cloth seating surfaces are durable and easy to clean, while the LT features cloth and leatherette trims.

If you add the Premium Seat Package, your Trax will come with all-leatherette seating surfaces and heated front seats. Both models feature the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, which is smartphone-compatible so that you can make hands-free phone calls and access playlists. Your passengers will appreciate the built-in Wi-Fi hot spot.

As you enjoy everything that the Trax has to offer, its array of intelligent safety features will keep you safe and sound. A tire-pressure monitor will notify you if your tires are unsafe to drive on. With the blind-zone alert, you'll know when a vehicle enters your blind spots. When you're parking and get too close to an object, you'll receive an alert from the rear park assist.

A rear cross-traffic alert warns you when a vehicle or pedestrian is approaching as you're exiting a parking space or driveway. Other features include rear child safety locks, 10 occupant-sensing air bags, and a rear-vision camera.
