Like the front part of the cabin, the back seat area is not luxuriously trimmed. The Trax has a shorter wheelbase than most small SUVs – there is less space between the front and rear axles – and so its rear compartment is among the least roomy. The six-speed auto gearbox is well calibrated too, combining well with that engine. What about safety in a Holden Trax?Įvery Trax has a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, hill-start assist, dusk-sensing headlights, voice control multimedia, the mandatory stability control, and six airbags. The classier dashboard finish and general tidy-up lifted the look and feel of the Trax, but the rest of the interior remained identical to the previous car’s.

New too was an upgraded multimedia system with an improved version of Holden’s MyLink touchscreen operation, better sound, and full integration for Apple and Android smartphones. You also hear more engine, suspension and wind noise than in the best alternatives.Īn exterior facelift about February 2017 brought a more moderate makeover inside, introducing a more pleasant, if also more conservative, dashboard treatment and clearer instruments. While the Trax offers a terrific view of the road ahead from its elevated front seats, those seats have too few dimensions of adjustment (lumbar support, for example) to guarantee ache-free comfort over long distances. You do tend to feel everything that’s going on underneath, however. The taut suspension prevents the Trax from floating around on poorly surfaced roads. The well-controlled body makes the Trax comfortable in its own way, as well as making the handling more responsive. (The bigger wheels mount lower-profile – read shallower – tyres, which can’t cushion you from the road as effectively.)

Does any upgrade have a down side?Īround town, you will hear more thumps and bumps in a Trax LT or LTZ, with their 18-inch wheelrims, than in a Trax LS, which has 16s. And there are two active driving aids, both aimed at keeping you in touch with life behind your taillights: a blind-spot alert warns if you are about to change lanes into a nearby car’s path, and a rear cross-traffic alert does the same if you are about to reverse into traffic. Windscreen wipers switch themselves on if they sense it is raining. The most expensive Trax is the LTZ, and the big change here is the introduction of Sportec artificial leather trim to the cabin, which brings heated front seats. And the wheel diameter grows substantially to 18 inches, with tyres slightly wider and significantly lower in profile – an aesthetic change that also brings more dry-road grip. The sound system has a receiver for digital radio. The least costly Trax, the LS, has cloth seats, and 16-inch wheelsĬoughing up for a Trax LT wins you a powered sunroof, and smart-key entry – which lets you unlock the car and drive away while leaving the key safe in a pocket or bag.

(An accompanying Mazda CX-3 petrol used 9.3 litres/100km.) What key features do I get if I spend more?

A turbo-engined Trax LTZ averaged 11.1 Litres/100km in comparison testing conducted for the May 2015 edition of Wheels magazine, ranking as the most prodigal of five small SUVs reviewed. In the real world it is relatively thirsty, however, and especially if you do enjoy the acceleration available.
