Thinking of buying the 2016 Chevrolet Trax?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 Chevrolet Trax for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2016 Chevrolet Trax, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 120 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and air bags. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
It is powered by the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Expect about 24 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.1 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, it costs about $12.56 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Who the Trax suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the Trax answers more than any brochure. Rent the Trax first, and buy only if it fits your life. A test week in the Trax tells you more than any review.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
When you know your dates
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 Chevrolet Trax from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2016 Chevrolet Trax for you and reply within one business day.
