The last few GM products I have tested have stepped up the game considerably when it comes to interior design, comfort and materials. That one was clearly on me, though.Īnd while the interior was revised, it still left me feeling a tad underwhelmed. Ventilation controls, using large dials, are easy to operate, although it took me a few days to figure out that the button to turn on the heated seat was actually the centre part of the dial that controlled the air temperature. The interior is also revised, including a new dashboard and instrument cluster. It’s not going to stand out in a crowd, but it isn’t an offensive look either. That includes a revised fascia and grille, new headlights – including halogen headlights with LED accents in the LT Premier trims.Īt the back, the rear fascia is also redone, as are the taillights and dual exhausts. In terms of styling, the Trax fares better, and has received some updates for the 2017 model year. The combined fuel economy rating of the engine is 8.8 litres per 100 kilometres, however I was quite a bit above that with an average of 10.7 L/100 km. There is some definite turbo lag and it did little to impress my passengers, who remarked more than once on how loud it sounded. It produces 138 horsepower and 148 ft-lb of torque, and is paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine (the same one found in the Sonic) is not what you would call potent. Speaking of going uphill, the Trax’s engine definitely sounds like its labouring at times.
