Green light your enthusiasm
The fun begins at every stoplight, thanks to the confident acceleration of the 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC® engine that’s standard in every Trax. The horsepower is 138, but it’s the 148 lb.-ft of at-the-ready torque that makes Trax so responsive to every touch of the accelerator pedal.
Turbo – That’s way cool
Turbocharging technology gives your driving ambitions a literal boost by directing substantially more air into each cylinder, enabling it to optimize each combustion cycle. At the same time, an intercooler cools the charged air entering the engine, allowing for more complete combustion and greater output. Very cool.
A shift in attitude
Trax also gives you two ways of engaging more directly in your driving, with a standard slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission on LS models, and a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission on LT and LTZ models that is also available on LS. The automatic also includes Driver Shift Control that lets you choose your shifts, much like a manual. Now that’s a shift.
You can handle it
An ultra-stiff body structure, combined with a wide stance and a sport-tuned suspension contribute to Trax’s fun, yet precise driving personality. The tuning of the suspension was a collaborative effort of European, Asian and North American engineering teams. Think global, drive local.
