Chevrolet Promises a New Flavor as they Introduce the Tracker

As Chevrolet launched a new subcompact crossover at a time when the class was tough to be on top of, they had a lot of promises, to begin within the competition. If you are among those who are wondering what this new subcompact crossover SUV's pros and cons are, the list below would help.

Pros

It comes with a fresh design for a subcompact crossover SUV

As the automobile trend now favors subcompact crossover SUVs, we barely see a model that looks different from the others. However, the all-new Chevrolet Tracker comes with a unique and distinct exterior design, apart from how its competitors look like. Its front fascia has a sporty vibe overall, but not to the extent that it follows the design trend in crossover SUVs already on the market. It is great to see a new model in the class that looks good without giving the impression of trying too hard to please the people. Instead of an aggressive-looking and massive air vent grille and slim headlights, the Tracker comes with a fresh and youthful design that is both sporty and good-looking that is fit for everyone.

It comes with good cabin insulation

One thing to note when getting a vehicle is its cabin insulation, as it is important in helping the driver to get focused at all times in maneuvering the car, and to give the passengers the utmost comfort throughout the ride. Although we Filipinos are good at adapting to changes and we are fine with whatever we have, it is still a factor to look for if a vehicle has good insulation. The good news is, that Chevrolet's 2022 Tracker comes with good insulation. Aside from it keeps the cabin cool, it absorbs the road, wind, and engine noise properly. You can barely hear the whistle of the wind even if you are driving at more than a hundred kilometers per hour.

The fuel economy is impressive

One of the most impressive capabilities of the 2022 Tracker is its fuel-saving capability. Since it comes with a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, it is expectedly to deliver its task without burning too much fuel. Upon test driving, it runs ten kilometers per liter, which is in favor of the Filipinos with the continuous oil price hike in the country. Although there are repercussions of having a 1.0-liter engine, we are aware that the Tracker is not for speedy driving or off-road. It is enough if you use it around the city on a day-to-day basis.

Its headroom and legroom space is comfortable

I must say, among all subcompact crossover SUVs available on the market today, the Chevy Tracker is one of the best in terms of providing generous legroom and headroom space for its passengers. There won't be an issue even if the passenger is above average in height. The rear seats also don't come too lowered for the rear passengers to have a comfortable ride even when on long travels. There is also an allowance for leg and foot stretches, especially when the seats are reclined. If the sunroof is open, plus its massive headroom, there won't be a chance of having claustrophobic attacks during your travels.

Cons

There are no air-con vents dedicated at the back

We Filipinos are all aware of our plights during the summer in the country. Unfortunately, as much as we wanted to get our cars cooled quickly, it is hard to achieve with the Chevy Tracker as it doesn't have dedicated air-con vents at the back for the rear passengers. In that case, opening the sunroof would not be desirable to do as well. Although it is not a deciding factor, it is still a matter to consider before acquiring the Tracker.

It doesn't support Android Auto connectivity

It is good news for Apple users that the 2022 Chevy Tracker supports Apple CarPlay connectivity. However, it doesn't favor android users as its infotainment system doesn't support Android Auto connectivity. Although it may be a tiny detail, it is still a matter to consider as you have to deal with it as long as you use the Tracker. Nevertheless, deciding is weighing what matters more and making a compromise.

Its competitors are wider

The Chevy Tracker comes with comfortable legroom and headroom space for all passengers. However, there is a compromise when it comes to sitting three passengers at the back comfortably, as this subcompact crossover is relatively narrower than its rivals in the same class, making it hard for the rear passengers to have a laid-back trip. It is ideal if there are just two passengers to occupy the second row.

It doesn't come with adaptive cruise control

For some people, having an adaptive cruise control feature in your car is only a plus to what the vehicle offers. However, with today's automotive tech advancements, having adaptive cruise control in your vehicle is necessary and standard. Among all subcompact crossover SUVs available on the market, the Chevrolet Tracker doesn't come with cruise control, and it is a bit disappointing.
