2016 Chevrolet Trax LT

2016 Chevrolet Trax LT Sport Utility 4D – The Nimble and Connected Urban Explorer
The 2016 Chevrolet Trax LT is a smartly designed subcompact SUV that excels in urban environments where space is at a premium but versatility is a requirement. Built on a global platform, the Trax offers the elevated seating position and cargo flexibility of a much larger vehicle within a compact footprint that is effortless to park and maneuver through tight city streets. It is the ideal choice for the driver who wants a modern, tech-savvy crossover that is as efficient as it is functional for a fast-paced lifestyle.
Under the hood, the Trax LT is powered by a peppy 1.4-liter turbocharged Ecotec 4-cylinder engine, producing 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. This turbocharged setup is designed to provide maximum torque at low RPMs, giving the vehicle a responsive and energetic feel when pulling away from stoplights or merging into traffic. Mated to a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain is engineered for reliable daily performance and impressive fuel efficiency, making it a budget-friendly partner for the long-term.
The driving experience is defined by agility and ease of use. The Trax features a tight turning radius and electric power steering that feels light and precise, making it one of the easiest SUVs to drive in heavy traffic or narrow parking decks. Its suspension is tuned to provide a stable, car-like ride that remains composed over uneven pavement. For those in Georgia who occasionally deal with slick conditions, the available on-demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system automatically shifts power to the rear wheels when it detects slip, providing extra confidence without the need for driver intervention.
On the exterior, the 2016 Trax LT features a bold, upright stance and a signature Chevrolet dual-port grille. The LT trim adds premium touches such as silver-painted front and rear skid plate elements, roof rack side rails, and 16-inch aluminum wheels. Its compact dimensions hide a surprisingly spacious interior, while the short overhangs and high ground clearance give it a rugged, capable look that fits perfectly in both city and suburban settings.
Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in space utilization and connectivity, offering:
Deluxe cloth upholstery and a 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat
Chevrolet MyLink with a 7-inch color touchscreen and a Rear Vision Camera
Available OnStar® 4G LTE with a built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot
SiriusXM® Satellite Radio and a 6-speaker audio system for premium entertainment
Practicality is where the Trax truly punches above its weight class. It features 15 different storage compartments and a unique fold-flat front passenger seat that allows you to carry items up to eight feet long. The rear 60/40 split-bench seat folds to expand the cargo area from 18.7 cubic feet to a generous 48.4 cubic feet. Whether you are hauling groceries, camping gear, or flat-pack furniture, the Trax is designed to adapt to your needs instantly.
Fuel economy is a major highlight, with the Trax achieving an efficient 26 MPG city / 34 MPG highway (in FWD configuration). This efficiency allows you to enjoy the benefits of an SUV—such as an commanding view of the road—without the high fuel costs associated with larger vehicles. Its 14-gallon fuel tank provides an excellent driving range, making it a great choice for weekend road trips or extended commutes.
Safety is comprehensive, featuring 10 standard airbags—more than many vehicles in its class—and a high-strength steel safety cage. Standard equipment includes StabiliTrak® stability control with traction control and 4-wheel anti-lock brakes. The 2016 Trax earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA, providing peace of mind for you and your passengers on every journey.
