2018 Chevy Trax Consumer Reports Road Test Results: “Unforgettable, Economical”

As Spring is anxiously bearing down on the people of Memphis, there are many things for everyone here at Chuck Hutton and our customer base to look forward to! Be sure to make some time for the Memphis Zoo: rated as one of the top zoos by web portal Tripadvisor, you'll be put face-to-face with sea lions, grizzly and polar bears, and explore one of the only zoos in the country that houses pandas. When you are loading up the entire crew to go see a destination such as this, the subcompact SUV is one of the best options to get there in style, and with efficiency! If built in a superb caliber, a subcompact style SUV meets the need of a budget price, versatility within the interior, and all-wheel-drive for any abrupt weather changes.

The Trax is Chevy's answer to the very versatile slot for an SUV directly beneath the Equinox. Consumer Reports has for decades been a very valuable authority regarding telling the masses how cars handle, and listing out all of the pros and cons for any new purchase. During a test drive of the Trax, the well-read publication ranked it a success, and praised it for its wide appeal, while being an offering for the truly young at heart. Some may claim that the way in which the Trax is built to produce fuel efficiency meant that it underwent some sacrifice during the manufacturing process, but the agile and precise movements you'll feel during the drive rivals that of many other vehicles in the same category.

U.S. News and World Report ranked the Trax very highly for its spectacular turning radius, easy and precise maneuverability, and very supportive seats. Scores of Memphis metro-area residents who are on the hunt for a fitting new vehicle have one very item in the “necessary” category, and this is the presence of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay: firm competitors such as the Mazda CX – 3 do not have this high-tech amenity on the feature list. You'll be able to seat five very comfortably during any long day excursion in the Trax, which offers more than ample leg-and-headroom. When you pay us a visit here at Chuck Hutton, you have to see the cargo space for yourself: the Trax offers 19 cubic feet for you to work with.

There is ample space for chairs, a cooler, and any vacation luggage you need to haul, and if the rear seats are folded down, you could squeeze in skis, a bike, and small furniture items with a grand total of more than 48 cubic feet. Two USB ports for charging and a MyLink infotainment system with 7-inch touchscreen are also situated on board, to keep passengers connected, and fully entertained during the journey.

You'll notice right away how the 138-horsepower turbo-four engine provides more-than-ample acceleration, while having the capability to produce 25 mpg in the city, and 33 mpg on the highway. Minimal body roll on turns will have you winding down even the most narrow of roads with ease, and the Chevy Trax's sense of spot-on maneuverability is the “icing element” that really allows it to shine!
