2017 CHEVROLET Trax 1.4L Ecotec Turbo MFI 6AT AWD (138 HP)

Vehicle Overview

As the 2015 version was beginning to look dated, Chevrolet redesigned it and unveiled it to the public in 2017.

The new design made the Trax look more attractive and possible one of the most desired crossover available on the market at the time.

For 2017, the most notable changes were made to the front end, that was significantly restyled to offer a much cleaner and sophisticated look: the headlamps became thinner and had a distinctive shape, with LED strips incorporated, feature that most seen rather on the more expensive vehicles. The front grille was also redesigned and became bigger.

Lots of changes were made to the interior, the cabin being modernised and updated with softer materials and new contrast stitchings for the upper trim levels.

The new multimedia system came with Apple Car Play and Android auto incorporated, fact that helped users to use the phone navigation by displaying the direction on the new touchscreen.

Other than that, the cabin was fitted with multiple USB ports, and the most interesting technology, buyers could use the 4G LTE connection to have a WI-FI hotspot available in the car. While the 4G LTE connection required a subscription, it was offered for free for a time-limited period.

The dashboard was completely redesigned and featured chrome accents, however, the redesign brought less storage spaces, as most of them were located on the dashboard.

The changes offered a more upscale feeling inside, however, there were a few downsides regarding the cluster gauges. While the previous version came with a digital speed-o-meter that was styled after a motorcycle, the new version was a basic tachometer and speedometer.

The 2017 Trax came with more available advanced safety features than the previous version.
