Meet the new Chevrolet Trax, same as the old Chevrolet Trax

With its most important updates largely confined to the interior, Chevrolet's refreshed Trax is largely the same as it was before.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

Chevrolet refreshed the Trax after about a year and a half of sales in the US.

That said, the Trax has been on sale for a few years longer in other markets, so this isn't exactly an accelerated timetable.

Exterior enhancements include new front and rear fasciae, as well as unique wheels for the new Premier trim level.

The real meat and potatoes of the update lie within the car.

Interior updates include an all-new dashboard design, which both looks and feels more expensive than it used to.

The standard infotainment system is a 7-inch Chevrolet MyLink touchscreen setup.

Ride quality is largely dependent on the trim level, with the wheels and tires producing either a stiff or soft ride. The lower trim levels are more comfortable over bad roads.

New safety equipment includes blind zone monitoring and forward collision warning.

Overall, the 2017 Trax should hit all the right spots for urban buyers that want something a bit more capacious than a subcompact sedan.
