Earlier, speaking appearance, Chevrolet Trax has a unique design. Usually the hallmark of US cars have a form of 'box', but the Chevrolet Trax appear ramps. For the interior dominated by black and silver accents combined some parts, such as consoles, door trim, steering wheel and others. Flat dashboard that does not hinder the driver to look ahead.

Fun, Chevrolet LTZ is equipped with a sun roof. The back seat can be folded to get a wider space for luggage. Fun again, provided the features 230V electric socket.

This machine is delivered to the front wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission with tiptronic. Chevrolet Trax own wheels LTZ use a diameter of 18 inches, with a disc brake system front and back.

Currently brief test drive, we actually use the LT variant of the Chevrolet Trax, but there is no difference in performance. When he first came in and shut the door, Chevrolet Trax cabin was silent. Engine noise as well as other horror sound can be muted. When driving to the location of the testing course of less flat, slamming seemed soft.

In the slalom sessions, we did a little hesitant to 'Gaspol'. Although little was bewildered when cornering sharply, but control is maintained. This is reasonable because it is not a racing car. Then 140 PS make the Chevrolet Trax can accelerate quickly. Features ABS also works well when testing the brakes suddenly in one session. Furthermore, given the opportunity also surround the circuit with aggressive control. When the straight path, the Chevrolet Trax is very easy to reach speeds above 140 km / h.
