"Chevrolet Tracker": specifications, photos, owner reviews

The Chevrolet Tracker car, the photo of which is located below, is a small and compact SUV, the production of which has been carried out since 1989. Initially, the model belonged to the company "Suzuki" and was manufactured under the brand "Escudo" ("Vitara"), but eventually it was bought by the division of "General Motors". In this article, in more detail, it will be the last generation of this car.

Exterior

In general, the exterior of the car can be called sports. Swiftly inclined windshield, elongated front lights, stylishly curved roof, high lumbar line and relief wheel arches are key features that catch your eye when you first look at the Chevrolet Tracker model. Experts' comments testify to the excellent aerodynamic performance of the car, which is provided due to the shape of its body. In all its generations, the model was produced in variants with two or five doors. One of the main disadvantages in the external design of the car is a relatively small clearance.

Spacious lounge

Despite the fact that the exterior of the car looks rather compact, it does not affect its internal volume. A large spacious salon is one of the many advantages of Chevrolet Tracker. The reviews of its owners are a vivid proof of the fact that even a large family can settle comfortably and comfortably inside the car (regardless of the number of doors). In addition, many users note the excellent ergonomic car seats, allowing you to relax not only the driver, but also all its passengers. The model boasts a large luggage compartment, which can be further increased by folding the rear separate seats. In this case, the owner of this machine will have 1370 liters of space. Moreover, if necessary, you can fold and front passenger seat.

Engines and chassis

Initially, for this model, only one engine option was provided - a gasoline "four", the volume of which was 1.6 liters, and the power was equal to 95 horsepower. As for the latest modification of Chevrolet Tracker, the manufacturer additionally began installing another type of unit under its hood, in addition to the previous version of the power plant. It was a two-liter engine, consisting of four cylinders, capable of developing 130 "horses". As for the transmission, the model can optionally be equipped with either a mechanical or an automatic transmission.

The technical characteristics of the chassis deserve special mention in the Chevrolet Tracker. We should pay tribute to the developers of the all-wheel drive system, which is able to perfectly adapt to the condition of the road surface. It is easy to make sure of this by driving on slippery gravel roads or other slippery surfaces, because in this case the grip automatically improves. Similar to many other standard crossovers, here in the all-wheel drive system, priority is given to the front axle, where all thrust is concentrated when driving under normal conditions. Along with this, when a slip occurs, almost half of the torque is redistributed to the rear wheels. Thanks to the electromagnetic interaxial coupling this happens quite quickly and in a timely manner.

Control Panel

The location of the controls at Chevrolet Tracker is quite convenient. Each of them is at the driver's fingertips. As for the instruments, there are both analog and digital indicators on the front console. The backlighting of the panel, as well as the control system interface, is made in blue cool color, which does not strain the eyes.

"My Link" system

One of the most interesting elements of the Chevrolet Tracker is the My Link system, which includes six speakers and a seven-inch touchscreen. Thanks to it, you can connect the smartphone to the multimedia system of the machine, after which the driver can make calls without being distracted by holding the handset, because it is controlled even through the multifunction steering wheel. "My Link" also provides the ability to view videos and photos when the car stops. Among other things, her monitor displays a picture from the rear view camera, which is very convenient when parking. It should be noted that this system is included in all options except the basic.

Car Security

Far not the last place in the Chevrolet Tracker model is security. The reliable protection of the driver and passengers of the car is provided by a robust carcass body and four airbags. An important role is played by the ESP - stabilization system, the main purpose of which is to ensure the stability of the car when driving on a slippery road. Another important function is to monitor the operation of the steering and determine the intended course of motion. With a sharp click on the "brake", each of the wheels thanks to it will be braked with such force that will keep the driver's control over the car. In addition, it helps at the start on the rise and counteracts the slipping of the wheels. It is impossible not to mention the ABS system, which is equipped with the brake force distribution function.

conclusions

Speaking about the key advantages of the model, which make many motorists pay attention to it, it is necessary to note a spacious interior, a soft suspension that provides comfortable driving even in conditions of poor road surface, rather wide ranges of steering wheel and front seats, high level of safety and high-quality multimedia system . In general, the cost of the car is in full accordance with its filling, dynamic performance and comfort. Whatever it was, many users note the slight, but still negative characteristics of the Chevrolet Tracker. These include not very informative steering wheel, lack of a full reserve and front bumper, which because of the presence of a lip made of plastic is not very convenient for traveling off-road.
