2015 chevy trax ls8/19/2023 ![]() The six-speed is constantly trying to upshift at low rpms in the name of improved fuel economy, but it adversely affects forward momentum. One-two shifts are very quick, but the rest of the upshifts or downshifts feel slow. The Trax comes equipped with a six-speed automatic which is a decent unit, with a few nuances. It’s constantly adjusting engine speeds in quick, sudden increments that mimic those of an automatic transmission. The Juke utilizes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that does a good job with smooth transitions between rpm points. These crossover’s transmissions further exaggerate the power disparity. The Juke uses a 1.6-liter turbo with a much healthier 188 HP a big step up compared to the anemic Trax. Or, maybe Chevrolet should scrap it altogether and wander over to Buick and see if the company can borrow the Cascada’s 1.6-liter turbo unit. Chevrolet needs to squeeze another 25 to 30 HP out of this engine to better match the Trax LTZ AWD’s 3,340-lb. We like the 138 HP 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the Cruze and Sonic, but in the Trax it’s out of its depth. With good initial low-end torque, the Trax falls flat on its face once the engine speed begins to build and things only get worse at freeway speeds. When I drove the 2015 Chevrolet Trax earlier this year, I declared it could be the best subcompact crossover currently on the market. It isn’t until the two vehicles are driven back to back that a winner begins to emerge. The seat heaters are one stage and navigation has to be run through the BringGo app that eats up cellular data to operate. Making matters worse, Chevrolet uses cheap interior components. Buyers have reported that the vehicle loses its. There’s an overabundance of materials, colors and textures, none all that great. Loss of power: The 2015 Chevy Trax engine problems are concerned with the inadvertent loss of motive power. In contrast, the Trax suffers from the GM epidemic of having too much going on inside. The Juke is a pit of black plastic and couldn’t be more conservative. They both sit on the low end of the interior quality spectrum. Which group of options is better really comes down to personal preference. ![]() The Trax counters with automatic headlights, a power driver’s seat, telescopic steering wheel, 4G LTE WiFi and a remote starter. The Juke trumps the Trax with automatic climate control, built-in navigation, a proximity key, 360 degree cameras, real leather seats and the somewhat gimmicky secondary screen for climate control and drive modes. For that price both vehicles come with the usual array of higher-end options like power everything, a sunroof and satellite radio. ![]()
