📖Chevrolet Trax I Facelift: sharper front styling, enhanced connectivity, and turbo versatility

Chevrolet Trax I (facelift 2017) (2017-2022)

The 2017 facelift gifted the Trax a much more contemporary front end with dual-port corporate grille styling, revised headlights, and an overhauled dashboard with a neat 7-inch MyLink touchscreen. It cemented its position as an accessible, stress-free urban crossover matching rivals like the Hyundai Kona in daily utility. Despite its friendly persona, disciplined Chevrolet Trax maintenance remains essential to keep its turbocharged petrol mechanicals running without incident.

The mechanical lineup focused squarely on the 1.4-litre Ecotec turbo petrol engine, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and optional all-wheel drive. While providing cheerful performance around town and on motorways, this engine relies on an intact cooling system and a functioning PCV diaphragm integrated into the camshaft cover. Neglecting routine servicing often leads to oil leaks, coil pack failures, and coolant loss from plastic coolant flanges.
