Let’s be honest – SUVs are fun! Between the family-size seating and expansive cargo storage space of a minivan, the tow capacity of a pick-up truck, and the power of higher vantage points, it’s hard to argue that they aren’t the versatile solution to a “we need more space” dilemma. But since the transition from the fashionable station wagon to the minivan to the “new-age” family SUV in mid-80s and early 90s, there seemed to be only two sizes – big and bigger. This created a whole new bout of mental conflicts of reason:
“I don’t want to drive a tank.”
“We need to save on gas money.”
“Do we really need something THAT big??”
Then came the late 2000’s, when the birth of smaller SUVs and crossovers gave us some fresh options. The Cherokee and the Durango from Jeep and Dodge, the RAV4 from Toyota, and now, the brand new 2015 Trax from Chevrolet.
A sleek body style creates curves that not only look great, but also ease into making the most of the internal space without creating bulk that becomes too difficult to park in tight spaces.
An ergonomic interior design, again, makes the most of space with 15 storage compartments (some trim levels even offer a drawer under the passenger front seat), as well as ensuring all controls are within reach of driver and passenger.
A 60/40 split rear seat flattens completely to provide 8 seating arrangement options with an ultimate possibility to open into 48 cubic feet of cargo space.
A 1.4L engine is turbocharged to get the most of out it’s capacity, and yields up to 34 mpg on the highway.
Standard rear vision cameras, ten airbags, and OnStar provides safety for you and whatever you’re carrying in that 48 cubic feet.
And let’s not forget it’s a Chevy – which means you’ll get the all new 4G LTE Wi-Fi, exclusive to Chevrolet products, to surf the net or stream Pandora if you so choose, as well as Chevrolet Complete Care, 2 years or 24,000 miles of included Scheduled Maintenance and 5 years or 100,000 miles of Roadside Assistance with Courtesy Transportation.
The 2015 Chevrolet Trax may be small, but its bite can be intoxicating. The new compact SUV that can realize all of your SUV dreams without inducing that mental conflict of reason. See what we have in stock.
