Thinking of buying the 2017 Chevrolet Trax?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 Chevrolet Trax for sale by us right now. The 2017 Chevrolet Trax for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 114 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
The 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 8.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 25 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.87. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Living with the Trax
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. At 4.25 m long, it is short. Parking on city streets is easy.
Try before you buy
Try the Trax on your commute, then decide. A test week in the Trax tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Trax answers the big questions.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.87 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
One more step
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
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 2017 Chevrolet Trax from us first.
