Exterior
The 2021 Trax has a compact build, which makes it easy to park and maneuver during rush hour and on congested city streets.
Chevy also offers the Trax in three fashionable special editions. The Midnight Edition is painted a special Mosaic Black Metallic color and has 18-inch gloss black aluminum wheels, black skid plates, and black Bowtie emblems. The Sport Edition is similar to the Midnight Edition but without the special exterior paint color. The Redline Edition has a black badge with red outline, black grille and mirror caps, and 18-inch black wheels with red accent stripes.
Interior

The 2021 Trax can accommodate up to five passengers and has eight different seating configurations. When you collapse the backseat, you’ll open up 48.4 cubic feet of cargo volume — plenty for your Costco runs or weekend getaways.
Upgrade to the Premium Seat Package for a more premium feel to the cabin. This offering includes heated front seats as well as leatherette seat trim for a relaxing and comfortable driving experience.
Performance and handling

With a highway efficiency rating of 31 miles per gallon, the front-wheel drive-equipped Trax will save you money on gas and enable you to make more headway on trips before needing to refuel. Though, you can also go with the all-wheel drive model for more traction on slippery roads, if you don’t mind a slight dent in fuel economy.
The 2021 Trax has a punchy ride quality, thanks to a 1.4-liter turbocharged ECOTEC engine under the hood. It’s also nimble and easy to handle. And a tight turning radius means that it handles sharp turns with grace.
Safety and infotainment

Chevy prioritizes keeping you and passengers protected no matter where the road takes you. That’s why each 2021 Trax model has a mix of passive and active safety features that helped it achieve a five-star overall vehicle score for safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The crossover’s defenses start with a high-strength steel safety cage and 10 standard airbags, as well as a Rear Vision Camera. You can opt for available features like Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Park Assist, for even more peace of mind.
Besides safety systems, the Trax delivers the infotainment perks you need to stay engaged when stuck in rush hour or embarking on a long road trip. Select the available built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot for reliable connectivity even in rural areas. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will enable you to access favorite apps and stay in touch with contacts with just the touch of a button.
The 2021 Chevy Trax is available now at U.S. dealerships.
