Trax chevrolet 20171/22/2024 ![]() Needless to say, the Juke will take the Trax at every stoplight, while still offering up 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway (the Nismo RS drops a bit to 25 and 31, respectively.) The Juke starts out at $20,250 for the base model and climbs to $28,020 for the Nismo RS. The Nismo RS has a power bump that moves it up to 215 horsepower – not bad for a little crossover. Just don’t expect to pull much of anything with this crossover, or expect it to get up to speed in a hurry, and you’ll be Okay. To me, it still seems that the little SUV is significantly underpowered, but then again, it does return 26 mpg in the city and 34 on the highway, so it isn’t all bad. Power output remains the same from the outgoing model, with the little four-banger putting out 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. Even when equipped with all-wheel drive, the system is still biased toward the front axle, so don’t expect much from the rear wheels until traction becomes an issue. The Trax is pulled down the road by the front wheels, but an all-wheel drive system is available. It is still mated to the Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic. Chevy didn’t feel the need to provide any upgrades whatsoever, so under that newly designed hood sits the same 1.4-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Here in the drivetrain department, it’s a “more of the same” situation. Additional features include keyless open and start capabilities. When the hotspot is activated, up to seven devices can be connected at once. That seven-inch MyLink infotainment system offers connectivity via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (Remember when your choice in smartphone dictated what car you bought?) The system is also equipped with a 4G LTE internet connection with Wi-Fi hotspot capability. The instrument cluster on Premier models will have contrasting color trim that matches the leather seat trim. The instrument cluster also has more of a rounded shape as opposed to the outgoing model's rectangular unit. ![]() The new Trax has two gauges – one for engine speed and the other for vehicle speed – with a small 3x4-inch driver information screen in the lower right corner. ![]() The outgoing model had a single gauge positioned on the left, with a digital display to the right. The other major update to the interior is the instrument cluster itself. Instead of going with the “chameleon eyes” look that had circular vents, Chevy went with more rectangular units that sit vertically in each corner. The corner vents on the dash are also of a different design.
