"An improved 7.0-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system adds both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and now also includes a physical knob for volume control, as well as a quartet of additional hard buttons." - Car and Driver (2017).Connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, which is not the case in every class rival. The touch screen has fairly sharp graphics, and it’s generally – though not always – responsive. The MyLink infotainment system features a touch screen and physical buttons, giving you flexibility in how you control audio and climate functions. Available advanced safety features include blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. The Trax’s infotainment system features a six-speaker audio system, a 7-inch touch-screen display, Bluetooth, two USB ports, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay.Īvailable features include satellite radio, cruise control, remote start, a seven-speaker Bose premium audio system, a proximity key, push-button start, a 110-volt power outlet, heated sideview mirrors, and a sunroof.

Although the front seats are narrow, front-seat headroom and legroom are plentiful, while the rear seat has enough room for a pair of adults, provided neither is over 6 feet tall." - Edmunds (2017) "Despite its small size, the 2017 Chevrolet Trax gives you plenty of useful interior space.We were pleasantly surprised by the tilt-telescopic steering wheel, which even appeared on the entry-level LS model." - Autotrader (2017) "… we found comfortable for the extended rush hours in the Chicagoland area where we tested the vehicles.In the rear, there is less leg and headroom due to the Trax's slightly raked roof, however, it hasn't been decreased as badly as many of the coupe-like SUVs that have recently invaded the market." - Automobile Magazine (2017) "Both front leg and headroom is ample, even with the optional moon roof, buyers over 6 feet tall will be able to fit.The LATCH system is relatively easy to use, though the lower anchors are set deep in the seat, and the tether anchors could be confused with other hardware. There are two full sets of LATCH connectors for installing car seats. The rear seats don’t have a ton of headroom, but there’s enough space for two adults as long as they aren’t especially tall. The Trax’s front seats have plenty of head- and legroom, and both rows of seats are supportive. Available seating features include premium cloth upholstery, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, and leatherette upholstery.

"Aside from the relatively small cargo area, the biggest issue is the substandard quality of the interior materials."That bit of faux leather on the dash is the only soft-touch surface, but it's still a big improvement." - CNET (2017).Meanwhile, the Trax's door panels continue to be lined in cheap plastic, and the front passenger seat lacks an inboard armrest." - Car and Driver (2017) … Regrettably, the new dashboard’s improved perceived quality comes at the cost of last year’s lidded dashtop-mounted storage bin and secondary glovebox. "An all-new dashboard is primped with details like available contrasting stitching, chrome accents, and an analog speedometer that nestles around a new 3.5-inch digital information display.
