2013–2014 Chevrolet Trax 1.6 FWD Specs & Performance

The Chevrolet Trax 1.6 FWD takes a straightforward approach to compact SUV motoring, using a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter inline-four gasoline engine producing 113 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque. Its front-wheel-drive layout and 5-speed manual transmission deliver an 11.9-second 0–60 mph time and a 107-mph top speed, while the front-mounted transverse engine uses DOHC, 16 valves and multi-point fuel injection. With a curb weight of just 2,844 pounds, the Trax has a 25.18 lb/hp power-to-weight ratio, with peak power arriving at 6,200 rpm and peak torque at 4,000 rpm.

The 2013–2014 compact SUV uses MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion-beam rear arrangement, complemented by vented front discs, solid rear discs and 205/70R16 H tyres. Five seats and 12.6–48.4 ft³ of luggage capacity provide useful everyday versatility, while the 14-gallon fuel tank supports a 507-mile total range. Measuring 167.2 inches long with a 100.6-inch wheelbase, the Trax is 69.5 inches wide and 65.9 inches high. With 36.2 mpg combined economy, its lightweight construction, FWD layout and naturally aspirated engine give it a simple, efficiency-focused compact SUV character.
