Trying Chevrolet Trax LTZ 1.4 A / T in Indonesia

Finally we tried the Chevrolet Trax LTZ 1.4 A / T in Indonesia. Rivals beware, this car had a weapon dangerous!

After waiting long enough, eventually we can taste impression drive Chevrolet Trax intact. Since the beginning, we did so curious sense that served 1,364 cc turbo engine hers.
If you view the official specifications, the Ecotec engine belonging to the Trax is able to release the power of 140 hp and 220 Nm of torque. It's a promising machine. Even when compared with Honda HR-V 1.8, Trax still more powerful engines.
This time, we will focus the discussion on driving impressions Chevrolet Trax. We are no longer discussing the elaborate and detailed exterior design feature of this car. Because recorded, three times we wrote about the Chevrolet Trax.
Now let immediately turn the machine on and start driving. We were a little disturbed will hum produced this car when the engine spins lower.
Present hum of the taste of the transmission sector. Okay, we ignore the disturbing sound first and began accelerating. Well, the blows of torque this car feels very pleasant. No wonder, since the achievement of maximum torque of 220 Nm can be achieved since the engine turns 1,850 rpm. This car was very easy in the beginning to accelerate. Turbo lag was minimal feel.Then what kind of acceleration test results? Prepared shocked, Chevrolet Trax is able to complete the 0-100 km / h in just 8.9 seconds!
Compare this with the HR-V 1.8, he was only able to carve figures of 10.5 seconds in the same acceleration test. With the smaller engine capacity, the Chevrolet Trax is able to more quickly 1.6 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 km / h. Even so the acceleration mid 60-80 km / h. Raihan 2.2 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster Trax of HR-V 1.8.
That's business performance, then what about efficiency? As it turned out, surprisingly Trax also relatively efficient engine. For routes within the city, Trax managed to record fuel consumption figures 13.16 km / l. As for the toll route, he was able to carve a figure of 17.54 km / l.
Iritnya fuel consumption in the city s Chevrolet Trax, is the result of the amount of torque this car. So, you do not need to step on the accelerator to be advanced at low to medium speeds.
As for the toll route fuel consumption, fuel consumption Trax iritnya contributed from 6-speed automatic transmission. To drove 100 km / h, the engine spins Trax need only 2,000 rpm.
While at a speed of 150 km / h, the new engine spinning 3,000 rpm. The low round of the engine when the car drove at high speed, making Chevrolet Trax highway fuel consumption can be reduced.
In addition to performance and fuel consumption which is a plus point in this car, it still has one point Trax other advantages. We love Trax handling that feels very nice.
Handling it is accurate and minimal body roll. Trax control steadiness is not caused due to set-up a stiff suspension.
Indeed, I feel so uncomfortable when worn hit potholes. Symptoms of understeer still feels if you are entering a corner at speeds that are too high.
That was the advantages of the Chevrolet Trax, and what drawbacks? First, we were interrupted by the buzzing noise transmission and the roar of the engine at high rpm very sifted through the cabin.
It feels Trax need to improve in terms of damping cabin. Trax equipped with manual transmission mode, but unfortunately laying shifternya button is not ergonomic. His position is on the right side of the gear lever, a little awkward the first time to operate.
However, it certainly was not a problem when we got used to it. Conversely, the more thought about Trax in our minds are the hallmarks of performance and control.
