The 2019 Chevrolet Trax makes a compelling used car alternative, but rivals do many things better.

The Premier trim not only gets interior upgrades, but it also has added active safety features.
Pros Offers appealing passenger space for its size Plenty of features for the price
Cons Fuel economy falls short for the class Less cargo space than some rivals Slow acceleration from the underpowered engine Ride quality is choppy on the freeway
