If your sedan is starting to feel a little too cramped for comfort during your New Orleans commute, it may be time to upgrade to something larger. The 2021 Chevy Trax is a compact SUV offering more interior space, while still allowing you to get great gas mileage specs! With front-wheel drive, the 2021 Chevy Trax gas mileage reaches an EPA-estimated 24 mpg city/32 mpg highway. Learn more about Trax performance with Leson Chevrolet Company, Inc. in the guide below. 

Chevy Trax MPG: FWD vs. AWD

The standard drivetrain for the new Chevy Trax is front-wheel drive, but drivers who want more traction on the Metairie roads can upgrade to all-wheel drive. If you’re looking for the best Chevy Trax mpg specs possible, you will want to stick with front-wheel drive. With that said, the all-wheel drive gas mileage specs aren’t too far behind:

  • 2021 Chevy Trax gas mileage w/ FWD: 24 mpg city/32 mpg highway/27 mpg combined
  • 2021 Chevy Trax gas mileage w/ AWD: 23 mpg city/30 mpg highway/26 mpg combined

Learn More About Chevy Trax Performance 

Whether you prefer the baseline Chevy Trax LS trim or you want to upgrade to the Chevy Trax LT, you’ll enjoy strong engine performance. The Chevy Trax mpg ratings make it a sensible choice for city drivers and commuters, but the following performance specs make it a fun choice, too! 

  • 1.4L Turbo engine with Variable Valve Timing and Spark Ignition Direct Injection
  • 138 hp
  • 177 lb-ft of torque
  • 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and Driver Shift Control 

The 2021 Chevy Trax offers a much more exciting drive than key competitors like the 2021 Ford EcoSport, another compact crossover that only offers up 123 hp for the road ahead. 

What Other Features Make the Trax Commuter-Friendly?

Besides fuel economy savings and zippy performance, are there any other highlights that make the Chevy Trax a top choice for commuters or first-time buyers? You bet!
