Christian from the CarAdvice video team in Sydney spent some time with the Trax when he made a trip to Melbourne with some friends. They managed to squeeze four people plus two tents, four sleeping bags, backpacks, food and bedding into the compact SUV.
“We never felt tight or squashed,†said Christian, “but four people is enough â€" putting three people across the back might create some tension.â€
The basic functions of the MyLink infotainment system worked well, but Christian found the lack of navigation a bit frustrating, as was the requirement for a phone to be connected to USB in order to use the advanced music streaming functions.
For his circa-600km round trip, Christian found the Holden Trax comfortable and generally easy to live with. Pretty much echoing the thoughts of the rest of the Melbourne team.
Which leads us to how the Trax fits in with the newer players in the small SUV segment.
We’ll look at a more detailed comparison with the Mazda CX-3, Honda HR-V and Renault Captur in our next update, though with Traxy sharing some garage time with these newcomers recently, it’s apparent the little Holden is dating. Fast.
The interior design is positively old-fashioned compared with the Honda HR-V, and even with the bright orange paint, the once-funky Trax is a bit dull next to the Mazda and Renault.
