Including the $895 destination fee, the redesigned Chevrolet Trax crossover will cost $21,895 and will go on sale this coming fall. And yes, that's about $700 more than the 2016 model year.
The 2017 Chevrolet Trax will be available in six configurations. The first of the lot, LS FWD, is exactly what the label reads. Just like the pre-facelifted model, the refreshed Trax is propelled by a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which is joined by a six-speed automatic transmission. Output? 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft (200 Nm) of torque.
Next up, there are the LT FWD ($23,795) and Premier FWD ($26,995). All-wheel-drive prowess is not exactly cheap, if I’m honest. If you can’t do without it, the added traction will cost you an extra $1,500 ($23,395 for the LS AWD, $25,295 for the LT AWD, and $28,495 for the Premier AWD).
What’s new for model year 2017? Well, the Chevrolet Trax now comes with a less ugly face that’s enhanced by sleek halogen reflector projector headlamps on the LS. The LT and Premier get LED-accented halogen headlights. Once you step inside, the rejuvenated Trax prides itself on a dual cockpit design and a new instrument cluster.
“The 2017 Chevy Trax offers advanced technology, premium features and comprehensive safety in a small SUV package,” commented Steve Majoros, the director of marketing at the Chevrolet Cars and Crossovers division. “The Trax is positioned to deliver exactly what our customers want: the latest technologies in the fastest-growing segment in the industry.”
Speaking of Trax customers, Chevrolet tells that nearly 60 percent are women. And that, dear reader, is the highest percentage of female customers for a Chevrolet model from the current lineup.
In the Old Continent, the virtually similar 2016 Opel Mokka X is already on sale in its domestic market of Germany, with pricing starting from €18,990. Interestingly, the Mokka X can be had with full-LED adaptive headlights, but the 2017 Chevrolet Trax can’t.
