PROS Seriously sorted chassis Determined three-cylinder engine Excellent interior technology
CONS Cramped rear seats Getting expensive for a small SUV We don't get the ST
PROS Fast, terrific dynamics, extremely well-engineered.
CONS Ride can be a little uncompromising, sub-optimal fuel consumption if you use the performance.
Not only is the Ford Puma ST one of the most exciting SUVs we’ve ever driven, it’s also immensely practical, comes packed with equipment and undercuts all of its main rivals on price. In other words, the Puma ST is a classic performance car from Ford: fast, fun and fantastic value, making it our favourite Sports SUV.
PROS Immensely enjoyable to drive Surprisingly big boot Great driving position
CONS Occasionally bouncy low-speed ride Infotainment could be slicker A VW T-Roc is bigger in the back
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
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
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.
