2019 Chevrolet Trax 1LT

The 2019 Trax is Chevrolet's subcompact crossover, slotting below the Equinox and competing with the Honda HR-V and Nissan Kicks. Its light weight and quick steering make it easy to maneuver in the city, though acceleration is modest. The ride is composed on smooth roads, and the cabin stays quiet at highway speeds. Passenger space is respectable for the class, and the rear seats fold flat to expand cargo room. Owner reviews for this generation praise its dependability, though some report intermittent electronic glitches. This LT is the middle trim on the Trax lineup, adding the 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that the base LS lacks. It pairs a 1.4L I4 making 138 horsepower with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, delivering steady around-town power and the traction to handle wet or snowy roads. The LT's available all-wheel drive is a proper part-time system that disengages the rear axle when not needed to save fuel, returning 27 mpg combined.
