2021 Chevrolet Trax Tech and Safety Features
Tech and Safety Features Available in the 2021 Chevrolet Trax
Crowded city spaces demand the maneuverability and easy-to-park size of the 2021 Chevrolet Trax. This crossover gets one free maintenance visit in the first year of ownership. If you want to discover which of the following features go with either the entry-level LS trim or the LT at the top of the line, please contact us at Lawrence Chevrolet near Harrisburg, PA.
Looking Good
You can customize the exterior look of the 2021 Chevrolet Trax with such colors as Black Cherry Metallic, Summit White, or Crimson Metallic. Wheel choices are at 16 or 18 inches in finishes like black aluminum with red accent stripes or painted aluminum.
Proclaim your individuality even more with three special editions.
- The Midnight Edition adds a bit of sophistication with 18-inch gloss black aluminum wheels, front and rear black skid plates, and bowtie emblems, black beltline moldings, and door handles, and all-season, Blackwall tires.
- Amp up your track aspirations with the Sport Edition, which also includes the same wheels, tires, bowtie and emblems, and beltline moldings, but puts the body color on the door handles.
- The Redline Edition shades the same components in black but also puts the color on the grille with a black surround and on the badging that is outlined in red. The wheels also get red accent stripes.
Engineering
The compact 2021 Chevy Trax flexibly adapts to your carrying needs by transporting up to five passengers unless you drop the 60/40-split rear seats to carry up to 48.4 cubic feet of cargo. You can fold the front passenger seatback flat to accommodate cargo that measures up to eight feet long.
Moving you forward is the 1.4 L turbocharged ECOTEC® engine that depends on variable valve timing and Spark ignition direct injection to produce up to 155 hp at 5,600 RPM and 177 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,000 to 4,000 RPM. With the mated six-speed automatic transmission, the fuel economy reaches 31 MPG on the highway and 26 MPG in the city. Front-wheel drive is standard for fuel efficiency but all-wheel drive is also available when you want to improve your grip on any surface.
Keep the special key fob in your pocket or purse, so all you have to do to run the engine is grab the driver seat, step on the brake pedal, and press the Start Engine button. Turn on cruise control when you want to maintain a constant speed on the highway.
Technology
Managing your infotainment needs in the 2021 Chevrolet Trax is the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system and its 7-inch diagonal color touchscreen. It relies on Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to merge your compatible smartphone, encouraging you to send and receive text messages, make phone calls, and access specific apps while you're still out in the city. An available built-in Wi-Fi hotspot connects you and your passengers to the Internet.
Delivering your musical choices is the audio system with six speakers. The best of your entertainment options is the three-month all-access trial subscription to Sirius XM Satellite Radio, which rewards your listening with commercial-free music, the latest news, exclusive celebrity talk, and live pro sports.
Safety
You and your passengers are protected by a high-strength steel safety cage and 10 standard airbags, as well as the following safety assists:
- The Rear Vision Camera shows live images of what's behind you when you go into reverse.
- Side Blind Zone Alert reveals on the appropriate side mirror whether a moving vehicle has entered your blind spot.
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert lets you know of any vehicles entering your path as you reverse out of a parking spot.
- Rear Park Assist provides audio distance alerts that tells you how close you are getting to an obstacle when you back into a parking spot.
- The Tire Pressure Monitoring System tells you if any of your tires are suffering from low air pressure.
- StabiliTrak is an Electronic Stability Control System that can adjust the brakes and engine torque to ensure that you stay on the path that you want to. Its Traction Control can detect wheel slips and applies brake pressure or reduces engine power so that you maintain control even on slippery or snowy surfaces.
