Having a new driver in the family can be an exciting but nerve-wracking time. This season can be made a little easier with the 2020 Chevy Trax. From its advanced safety systems to the available all-wheel drive, the 2020 Trax is packed with features that will give you and your new driver the added confidence you both want. Here a few features that make the 2020 Chevy Trax a perfect first vehicle.
1. Available All-Wheel Drive
The available all-wheel drive on the 2020 Chevy Trax adds a level of safety by monitoring all four of the tires and automatically maximizing traction when needed. Both you and your new driver will feel better knowing that the Trax can handle difficult driving conditions like sleet, rain, and snow.
2. StabiliTrak Control System
The StabiliTrack control system helps the driver stay in control on the road, especially in emergency situations. When needed, StabiliTrack will automatically adjust the engine torque and brakes to help the Trax stay on its planned route. If the Trax senses that the vehicle is taking a different path than intended, it will automatically apply the needed brake pressure to help keep your new driver on the road and going in the right direction.
This system also includes traction control and brake assist. The traction control will automatically activate the brakes or lower the engine power when it senses slippage. The brake assist monitors how the driver hits the brake pedal. If it notices that it was slammed extra fast and hard, it will give added braking assistance.
3. Advanced Safety Features
With its 10 standard air bags and available advanced safety features, the 2020 Chevy Trax will help keep your new driver safe on the road at all times. A few of its available advanced driver-assistance features include forward collision alert, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, rear park assist, and side blind zone alert.
The forward collision alert notifies the driver if it senses an incoming front-end collision or if the driver is following a vehicle too closely. The lane departure warning helps prevent collisions due to accidental drifting into other lanes. Rear cross-traffic alert and rear park assist make operating in reverse a little easier by alerting the driver of traffic crossing behind the vehicle and objects nearby while parking. Checking blind spots can be tricky, but with side blind zone alert, new drivers will have extra help thanks to the side mirror warnings given when the Trax senses a vehicle in a side blind zone.
4. Fuel-Efficient
Since most new drivers don’t have a lot of money to be dumping into filling up the gas tank, the fuel efficiency of the 2020 Chevy Trax makes it a great first vehicle. Its 1.4-liter ECOTEC engine delivers the perfect mix of power and efficiency. When equipped with all-wheel drive, the 2020 Trax offers up to 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
If you’re looking for a safe, reliable, and efficient vehicle for your new driver, the 2020 Chevy Trax is the perfect fit. Head on over to Merle Stone Chevrolet to check out their current inventory.
