2015 CHEVROLET TRAX
The 2015 Trax offers versatility, connectivity and turbocharged performance in an efficient
package.
Sporty and modern, Trax blends small-car agility with the utility of an SUV, including up to 1,371
litres (48.4 cubic feet) of cargo space.
The Trax will accommodate customers’ increasingly connected lifestyles with available OnStar
4G LTE and built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, as well as MyLink technology featuring the segment’s only
seven-inch colour touch screen. Trax is also the first in its class to offer Siri Eyes Free.
Trax technologies also enhance passenger safety, with more standard air bags than its
competitors, an available rear-view camera and available rear park assist.
Additional vehicle highlights include:

Ecotec 1.4L turbocharged engine that delivers the efficiency of a small-displacement
engine with the power of a larger engine on demand

Available all-wheel drive

Electric power steering

Available next-generation OnStar and MyLink

Ten standard air bags, including side-curtain and knee air bags – and the segment’s
only rear seat-mounted thorax air bags

Clever and convenient storage areas, including upper and lower glove boxes – with a
USB port and auxiliary jack in the upper glove box for plug-in media

60/40-split fold-flat rear seat and fold-down front passenger seatback for storing and
transporting items up to eight feet long

Standard remote keyless entry and available remote start.
Trax is offered in LS, LT and LTZ trims.
A Chevy inside and out
With its signature dual-port grille, prominent bowtie emblem and swept headlamps, the Trax is
immediately identifiable as a contemporary Chevrolet. Its grille design – with chrome accents –
emulates other Chevrolets and provides a more cohesive appearance across the brand’s lineup
of crossovers and small cars.
Available cues such as front fog lamps and simulated front and rear skid plates lend a sportier
presence, while vertical tail lamps flank the tailgate, accenting taught body lines and
pronounced wheel arches that give the Trax a confident stance.
The 10 exterior colours are: Blue Topaz Metallic, Sunset Orange Metallic, Cyber Grey Metallic,
Summit White, Black Granite Metallic, Sable Metallic, Silver Ice Metallic, Victory Red, Deep
Ruby Metallic and Champagne Silver Metallic.
Inside, Trax’s distinctive styling carries over to a dual-cockpit instrument panel. In the centre, it
houses a seven-inch, high-resolution, full-colour display for the standard MyLink voice-activated
infotainment system. It also features displays for available SiriusXM satellite radio and available
rear-view camera, as well as the available GPS-enabled app navigation system that customers
can download.
The instrument cluster is inspired by the bold design in the Sonic, featuring a large,
performance-style analogue tachometer combined with a prominent digital display for the
speedometer and other readouts. A small-diameter, thick-rimmed steering wheel enhances the
sporty ambience. The wheel is leather-wrapped on LT and LTZ models.
LS models feature standard cloth seating, with deluxe cloth standard on LT, along with an
available cloth/leatherette seating trim. LTZ models feature standard full leatherette trim. Interior
colours are Jet Black, Jet Black/Light Titanium and Jet Black/Brownstone.
For versatility, the 60/40 flat-folding rear seat features a fold-down armrest with cup holders,
storage in all four doors, four bins in the dash, pockets in the seatbacks and bins under the rear
load floor and a hidden storage drawer under the front passenger seat. It also offers 530 litres
(18.7 cubic feet) of storage behind the split-folding rear seat and 1,371 litres (48.4 cubic feet)
with the rear seat folded. The front passenger seat also folds flat to extend the cargo length and
accommodate items up to eight feet long.
Connectivity and infotainment details
Available Siri Eyes Free for iPhone iOS 6 and iOS 7 users enhances connectivity and
convenience. Each enables voice-controlled connectivity so customers can keep phones stored
and their hands on the wheel.
Additional standard and available features include:

Available MyLink radio with seven-inch-diagonal colour touch screen and additional USB
ports

Available Chevrolet connected by OnStar 4G LTE with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot

Next-generation OnStar

Available BringGo navigation app

Available SiriusXM Satellite Radio (with three months of trial service), SiriusXM Travel
Link and SiriusXM Tune Select (requires XM subscription)

Supports playback of MP3 files stored on USB flash memory drives.
With Chevrolet’s connected by OnStar 4G LTE connection, Trax provides an available Wi-Fi
hotspot that allows passengers to connect multiple personal devices such as smartphones,
laptops and tablets, to high-speed wireless Internet.
Turbocharged performance
Trax is powered by a power-dense Ecotec 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder engine backed by an
efficiency-enhancing six-speed automatic transmission. The engine is rated at an SAE-certified
138 horsepower (102 kW) and 148 lb-ft of torque (200 Nm) between 1,850 and 4,900 rpm.
The wide rpm range for the maximum torque – a specific trait of turbocharged engines – helps it
deliver a more confident driving experience, with a strong feeling of power across the rpm band.
The turbocharger’s on-demand performance also contributes to efficiency because it enables
greater power when needed with the lower fuel consumption of a small-displacement engine
when it’s not.
The turbocharger is integrated within the exhaust manifold, for reduced weight and greater
packaging flexibility. A solid cast crankshaft and forged connecting rods deliver additional
durability to support the engine’s pressurized power and torque.
A Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic transmission with TAPShift control is matched with the
1.4L turbo engine. It has a unique design, with the planetary gear sets positioned on the same
axis as the engine crankshaft centreline, making the entire powertrain unit shorter fore-to-aft.
This design enables a shorter overall vehicle length, increased interior space, enhanced safety
crush zones and lower weight.
A “steep” first gear and a “tall” overdrive top gear to achieve a wide ratio spread of 6.14:1. This
allows Trax to achieve robust acceleration, as well as fuel efficiency and lower engine noise at
highway cruising speeds.
Refined ride and handling
Trax is built on a robust global platform and engineered with precise suspension tuning to
deliver one of the segment’s quietest and most refined driving experiences. Available all-wheel
drive seamlessly shifts power to the rear wheels when required for better traction and handling.
A 2,555 mm (100.6-inch) wheelbase and wide stance – 1,539 mm (60.6-inch) front and rear
tracks – contribute to a confident driving experience, while a strong structure enables greater
suspension precision and a quiet ride.
A MacPherson strut front suspension is used with coil springs, a large stabilizer bar and sideload-compensated front strut modules.
The rear suspension incorporates a compound crank (torsion beam) design, with a double-wall,
tubular V-shape beam profile with gas-charged twin-tube shocks. It combines all the advantages
of a conventional torsion beam axle, including minimal space requirements, with low weight and
consistent camber control. Noise-damping urethane spring isolators improve ride isolation and
dampen noise.
Trax also features a column-mounted, variable-effort electric power steering system that saves
fuel compared to a conventional engine-driven power steering pump.
Sixteen-inch wheels are standard on LS and LT (aluminum wheels on LT). LTZ has standard
18-inch aluminum wheels.
Built to protect
Trax incorporates technologies that help avoid crashes and protect occupants in case one
occurs. Crash-avoidance technologies include:

Available rear-view camera

Standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control, incorporating traction control and rollover
mitigation features

ABS and electronic brake force distribution

Cornering brake control and brake assist
The body structure forms a protective cage around the passenger compartment, with 66 percent
of the structure composed of high-strength steels, including ultra-high-strength steel. That
structural protection is complemented with 10 standard air bags:

Driver and front passenger frontal air bags

Driver and front passenger knee air bags

Front and rear thorax air bags for all outboard positions – including the segment’s only
rear-seat-mounted thorax air bags

Side curtain air bags for front and rear outboard passengers.
Trax’s safety and security features also include exclusive OnStar technology with Advanced
Crash Response System, emergency assistance and more.
