![]() ![]() A host of driver assistance technology is available, including stability control, Hill Start Assist and a reversing camera. While UK specs haven’t been decided, flagship cars will have electric and heated memory seats. You can feel bumps in the road, but the Trax has the edge over a Juke for ride comfort. The suspension is firm – although not overly so – allowing the car to remain fairly level considering its high centre of gravity. The Trax doesn’t feel out of its depth on winding back roads, even though the steering is a bit numb. Yet it still returns 44.8mpg economy – and the two-wheel-drive car promises even stronger returns. The 1.4-litre turbo delivers the best mix of refinement and performance, and does 0-62mph in just under 10 seconds. ![]() Our test car was four-wheel drive, but it’s also offered with two-wheel drive. A 114bhp 1.6-litre petrol – with two-wheel drive and a six-speed manual box – and a 1.7-litre turbodiesel join this 138bhp 1.4 petrol turbo. ![]() There’s a high driving position and plenty of space for taller drivers. Inside, the Trax has the same angular centre console as the Mokka, but the instrument cluster is inspired by the Camaro muscle car, while the dash gets a soft-touch covering. Larger wheelarches, foglamps and black off-road cladding for the bumpers add to the visual appeal. The Trax offers a maximum luggage capacity of 1,372 litres, while the Juke has only 830 litres.Ĭhevrolet has based the Trax on the forthcoming Vauxhall Mokka, but it looks more masculine, with a bolder nose and split-level grille. Take one look at the new car and it’s clear that it’s an entirely different proposition to the Juke – it’s slightly longer, wider and a whole lot more practical. So can the US brand have a little bit more success with the Nissan Juke-rivalling Trax? Let’s just hope the equipment and price work in its favour, because it has some very competent rivals to go up against.Ĭhevrolet already sells the large Captiva SUV in the UK, but sales haven’t exactly been booming. The steering could do with a bit more feel, but there’s very little else to criticise. The Trax will be the best car Chevrolet offers in the UK, with an array of hi-tech kit, a practical cabin and a well rounded drive. ![]()
