“A smart interior layout makes the most of the Trax's relatively small — but still competitive for the segment — interior space. Visibility is good, the controls are straightforward, and getting in and out is pretty easy.” -edmunds
Seating and Comfort of the 2020 Chevrolet Trax
Ability to seat 5 passengers inside, the cabin space in the Trax is ample and spacious for the segment. However, the legroom for both the front and rear seats is a bit compromised due to the SUV’s small design. The seats in themselves are quite comfortable covered with cloth upholstery. The headroom, on the other hand, is ample on both rows.

Aesthetically, the cabin is modest at best with plastic touch and feel alongside cheap materials and quality in places. Apparently, noise isolation is less of a concern for the American manufacturer; imagine driving comfortably sans the cabin around you. Visibility is commendable thanks to the position of the raised seats.
Infotainment System of the 2020 Chevrolet Trax
Chevrolet’s MyLink 7” touch screen infotainment system sits on the center console. An intuitive system with a user-friendly interface otherwise fails to impress in its physical controls which are plastic in material and have redundant use for some functions.
MyLink’s touch screen looks good but delays in responsiveness make it less appealing. Fortunately, the Trax features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay which comes optional even on some of the most high-end cars with premium features. Some standard features include –
- 6-speaker audio system
- 2 USB ports
- OnStar Communications with 4G connections and Wi-fi hot spot
- 7” Infotainment System
Cargo Volume of the 2020 Chevrolet Trax
Offering 18.7 cubic feet with unfolded seats is quite a decent task for the Trax. With the rear seats folded it can offer as much as 48.4 cubic feet. This offering might just be enough for the people it can accommodate.
The compact crossover is evened by the Buick Encore but is bettered by the rest. Surprisingly, the segment leader, Honda HR-V, has the lowest of the lot at 12.4 cubic feet.

Coming to the rear seats when folded, you’ll find 48.4 cubic feet available on the Chevrolet Trax, standing along the top of the segment. However, the Honda HR-V offers the best practicality along the segment in both instances.
