Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2021 Chevrolet Trax's #13 ranking is based on its score within the Subcompact SUVs category. Currently the Chevrolet Trax has a score of 6.7 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 44 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Solid list of standard infotainment features
Easy to maneuver

Cons
Weak engine
Rigid ride
Seats could use more support

By: 
usnews.com

If you need a spacious new vehicle for the tiniest of parking spaces (and budgets), the Trax is an acceptable but mediocre contender.

Pros
Affordable price
Bigger inside than it looks
All-wheel drive is available
New car smell (and warranty)

Cons
Dull driving experience
Lacks some key safety features
Muddled styling and plain look
Inexpensive, but not a bargain

By: 
thecarconnection.com

The Trax loses its top-spec Premier trim for 2021, leaving the LS and LT models as the last remaining offerings. The previously available Sun and Sound package, the optional power sunroof, available Bose stereo system, and two-tone Jet Black and Brandy interior theme have also been deleted.

Pros
Cheap and cheerful,
agreeable ride and handling,
minimal blind spots.

Cons
Poky acceleration,
plasticky interior pieces,
lacks most modern features.

By:

Infiniti updates the 2021 QX50 lineup with some minor alterations. Every model now comes with a Wi-Fi hotspot, laminated front side glass, and side-mounted airbags in the rear seat. Mineral Black joins the list of optional paint colors, too. Along with heated front seats, the Luxe model now comes standard with more driver assists, as well as a blackout package.

Pros
One of the better-looking crossovers,
quiet and refined manners,
pretty and roomy interior.

Cons
Unrefined engine sounds during acceleration,
underwhelming fuel economy,
annoying infotainment details.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Roomy interior with comfortable seating
Lots of cargo space
Easy to get in and out
Quiet at highway speeds

Cons
Inconsistent power delivery due to CVT automatic
Disappointing real-world fuel economy
Steering feels overly light and artificial
