Should I Buy the 2022 Chevrolet Trax?
The Trax is worth a look if you want the taller ride height of an SUV along with the tiny footprint of an economy car. Easy to drive and park, the Trax has city-friendly dimensions, and the turbo four-cylinder drivetrain is reasonably efficient. However, the Trax is missing many important active-safety features.
