The suspension tuning is on the soft side enabling it to be hushed on the highways and smooth over rough roads. Instead, it’s a relaxed cruiser with a quiet, controlled ride. The ride and handling story is near parallel to that of the powertrain. Now, if you’re the type of buyer who couldn’t care less about engine response, then you’ll be happy to know that the Trax does return a relatively good 8.76 km/L (average speed 18 km/h). ![]() You can make the Trax hold gears longer via a gearlever thumb switch shift override, but it doesn’t really up the excitement notch. As the speeds pick up though, it starts to lose steam once again. Weighing in at a portly 1,272 kilograms, it takes some coaxing to get the Trax moving, but once it does, it’s reasonably quick. With 140 horsepower, it produces the same levels of power as the rivals’ 1.8-liter mill so it’s the 200 Nm of torque that makes the difference. The powertrain, 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder (the segment’s first forced induction engine), is a willing performer, but mostly for practical everyday motoring.
