The all-new Chevy Trax launches early next year, bringing Chevy into the compact SUV segment full-force. The Trax is geared toward urban dwellers thanks to its impressive fuel economy (34 mpg on the highway) and innovative tech, like Siri Eyes Free and OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi. But it’s also designed for those in need of a versatile driver to take on frequent adventures.

“Chevrolet is making a huge inroads with small cars around the world and Trax is the latest example,” explained Steve Majoros, director of car marketing for Chevy. “It is the right vehicle at the right time in the U.S., building on Chevrolet’s strong SUV heritage with a package of features combining value, versatility, technology and maneuverability.”

To generate excitement for the Chevrolet Trax, the Bowtie Brand recently listed out 20 ways that the Trax stands out in its market, in four major categories: maneuverability, technology, value, and versatility.

Chevy Trax Maneuverability

  1. The Trax is powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged EcoTec engine, good for 138 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque.
  2. The compact SUV features available all-wheel drive.
  3. It also boasts a 100.6-inch wheelbase and 60.6-inch stance.
  4. The all-new Chevy Trax features MacPherson-strut front suspension and compound crank rear suspension for agility.
  5. Oh, and did we mention it’s got a direct-acting, fuel-saving column-mounted electric power steering system? (Say that five times fast.)
