The car also has a sunroof, which is great for Doha’s winter season if you ever want to take a trip down to the beach or even if you just want to cruise around the city with the wind in your hair. You can dial a number, change the radio station, connect to Bluetooth, and much more! It comes equipped with Chevrolet Mylink, this means that it supports Apple Carplay which is awesome for all you iOS lovers out there! It’s resistive, which means that you don’t have to use your nails to work around it. The car boot is quite spacious and can fit a lot of items, so if you have a busy day of grocery shopping or you’re planning a camping trip, you’re most definitely covered. You can switch the information in the infotainment system to different modes, for example, it can display digital speed, tire pressure, compass, and Trip A or Trip B. Another handy tool is that you can change the reading in the information system from kilometres to miles, which is quite handy if you’re used to one metric system more than another.

This informs the driver about which tire needs more air than the others. The tire pressure monitoring system is quite accurate and lets you know how much air there is in each individual tire. This screen contains all of the basic information like Trip A, Trip B, Odometer, and to my surprise, a proper tire pressure monitoring system. You are greeted by a fancy-looking digital dash, which has a speedometer, an RPM meter, a digital fuel gauge and an information screen.

The car won’t be able to climb any sand dunes, but it will surely make you look cool in the desert with its unique styling and colour options.įor those who love to cruise with some tunes, the car also has buttons on its steering wheel to control your music and for cruise control. Taking the car to do a little bit of off-roading is fun too, as the Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 tires provide a really good grip on the road and on sand as well. This also means that you can actually turn at high speed and the car won’t roll. The car is not very high from the ground, so its centre of gravity is well managed. All you need to do is drive this car with a soft foot and I guarantee that you’ll fall in love. However, revving the car all way the to the redline (to the maximum allowed throttle) is not really a pleasant experience as the engine screams and the car tries to move faster but I felt that it was more comfortable to drive in the low RPM range. The car had little to no road noise (the noise which comes from your tires while driving) and to my surprise, the 1.8-liter engine was quite responsive in the low RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) range between 2,000 - 3,000 RPMs. Although the steering wheel felt a little too hard to hold on to and the armrest was quite high.

In the Trax, the reverse camera and sensors work beautifully together to guide the driver.ĭriving the car on the road was an even more thrilling experience. The sensors were pretty accurate and not too sensitive, especially compared to other cars that tend to alert the driver even if there’s quite a distance between the car and object. The car also came with a reverse camera, reverse sensors, and guidelines within the camera that turn with the steering wheel, which also made the process much easier. To my surprise, the car had a surprisingly good turning circle, which means I didn’t have to reverse my car multiple times to get out of the tight parking space. The driver’s seat is fully motorized and on the passenger’s side, it’s manual.Īt the dealership, the car was parked in a tight spot so this was the perfect opportunity to check out how the car maneuvers. When I sat in the car I was immediately greeted with the soft leather seats and steering wheel. The model that I had the chance to test drive was a fully loaded, striking red LTZ.

I got the car around Thursday evening and was itching to take it for a quick spin. So, look no further as we think that this could be the SUV that you’ve been looking for! We got a chance to review the 2017 Chevrolet Trax and learn more about its features and functionality.

When it comes to buying a car it’s really difficult to choose one because there are so many options, especially when it comes to affordable SUVs in a place like Qatar.
