On the highway, we were impressed by the Trax's ability to maintain a constant cruising speed on the highway, even when passing above the speed limit. Likewise, the 6-speed transmission reacts seamlessly to right foot pressure by downshifting one gear to help the little engine as much as possible. We did some overtaking and even when we mashed the throttle, the vehicle’s acceleration was pleasingly linear. The beautiful Charlevoix region provided winding roads and elevation changes, perfect occasion for the Trax to prove it’s capable of climbing hills without flinching, even when the throttle is firmly pressed. The 6-speed automatic transmission, rare for this segment, is responsive and offers a smooth ride. The vehicle is powered by a small 1.2L turbocharged inline 3-cylinder engine, which delivers 137 hp at 5,000 rpm and 162 lb-ft of torque at 2,500 rpm. This subcompact crossover offers a balanced and maneuverable ride, making it an attractive option for those looking for a practical, affordable and most importantly, economical car. The gear selector is easy to grip and you have easy access to the cup holders and the phone area, which contains a wireless charging cradle.īehind the gearshift lever, you'll find a small pocket and a small storage space under the centre armrest. The Evotex seat on the two models we tested, the 2RS and Activ, offers acceptable comfort even after several hours of driving. In front of the driver is an 8-inch analog display screen further to the right, an 11-inch touchscreen provides access to the multimedia interface, and especially Apple CarPlay, which is standard on the base version. Those who have driven a Blazer or TrailBlazer will see a similarity. In addition to the extra space, there's also an impressive upgrade in technology. Mind you, we're not going to compare it to a Suburban just yet, but for the type of vehicle, it's impressive. In the front, the feeling of space is also enhanced. Rear passengers also have 76 mm more legroom. The trunk space is increased by 161 liters to a grand total of 725 liters behind the second row and 1,532 liters with the seats lowered. Obviously, the increase in exterior space also has an impact on the interior.
