Sophisticated experts determine the make and model of a car by its characteristic exterior features. Chevrolet Tracker is positioned as an urban SUV with some advantages over other models.
Development concept
By tradition, the presentation of the updated model takes place at one of the car dealerships. The Exhibition of Achievements of the World Automotive Industry in Chicago is considered the most prestigious. The next model "Chevrolet Tracker" in 2016 was presented by the manufacturing company at this very site. According to the business card, the subcompact crossover has the following performance parameters:
· High ground clearance;
· Wide track;
· Roof rails.
Experts emphasize that the car is focused on urban use.
The five-door "Chevrolet Tracker" has a clearance size sufficient to overcome obstacles in the form of a curb without consequences and additional efforts. At the same time, the wide track ensures the stability of the vehicle on wet asphalt and other slippery surfaces. All-wheel drive models equipped with automatic transmission are more often used by those owners who regularly travel long distances, regardless of the weather overboard.
The roof rails provide the body with additional rigidity. This is important when transporting items that do not fit in the trunk. The SUV has high maneuverability, which helps the driver when parking and moving in tight spaces. The manufacturing company has been holding this market sector for many years and is expanding its presence in other countries. Consumers prefer to buy an outwardly attractive vehicle, equipped for a specific request.
To attract potential buyers, Chevrolet is pursuing aggressive marketing policies. In the spring of 2017, an assembly plant for the Tracker was launched in Uzbekistan. The first samples are already being tested on the roads of the CIS countries. The company plans to build a similar plant in Russia. Currently, official dealers offer domestic consumers to buy Chevrolet Tracker assembled in South Korea or Uzbekistan.
Engine and chassis
Before purchasing a vehicle, many drivers evaluate its appearance by looking at photos and videos. This is a necessary action, but not sufficient. In order to calculate in advance the costs of maintaining the machine, you need to know and determine the following data:
· Fuel consumption per 100 km of run;
· Average mode of operation;
· Maintenance cost.
It is no secret that fuel consumption in urban areas is higher than when driving on a motorway.
Chevrolet Tracker models are presented on the Russian market, which are equipped with two types of gasoline engines. The first is a 1.8-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated 140 hp engine. Fuel consumption is seven liters per 100 km. The second is a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 140 hp. Fuel consumption is six and a half liters per 100 km. Complete with any of the engines, you can choose a five-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic.
With the standard undercarriage arrangement, the front wheels are driven. The updated all-wheel drive system is equipped with an electronic adaptation mechanism for road conditions. In a situation where the drive wheels begin to slip, the electromagnetic clutch automatically redistributes the load to the rear axle. The car does not lose stability, because at the same time the area of adhesion of the wheels to the ground increases. It should be noted that this mechanism does not always work effectively on a dirt road.
The steering system uses electric or hydraulic amplifiers. The electrical circuit is used with a 1.4 liter engine. Hydraulic - with an engine of 1.8 liters. It is interesting to note that the Chevrolet Tracker does not belong to the category of "female" cars. At the same time, it will not be difficult for a female driver to drive such a car. The braking system is structurally made using discs.
Safety and comfort
Impassive statistics show that most often the car gets injuries of varying severity when parking and when leaving the parking lot. And when driving on the highway. And when "taxiing" into the parking lot, the driver must provide an overview of the surrounding area. To help the person driving the "Tracker", special sensors are installed on the body of the car. When reversing, information from the sensor is displayed on the display screen, which is attached to the dashboard.
A signal from a sensor or a video camera installed in front warns the driver about crossing the white lane on the road. The scheme includes the function of recognizing road signs. These and other "tricks" make it easier for the driver to control the car at night. Additional options include fog lights. The "high" headlights are automatically adjusted. An efficient multi-range cruise control system is provided. For cars on the Russian market, heating and automatic adjustment of side mirrors are provided.
The robust body structure provides reliable protection of the driver and passengers from external influences in the event of a collision with an obstacle or when the machine rolls over. The basic configuration of the Chevrolet Tracker includes four airbags. The car has three-point seat belts for all passengers. Adjustable and heated seats keep the driver and passengers awake throughout the journey.
Salon and trunk
According to the declared classification, "chevrolet tracker" belongs to the middle class SUVs. The length of the car is 4248 mm, width is 1776 mm, height is 1674 mm. The appearance attracts with proportions and smooth lines. The spacious interior of the crossover can accommodate an average family with three children. The dashboard is made taking into account ergonomic requirements and standards. It is convenient for the driver to perform additional functions while driving, without being distracted from the control of the roadway.
The keys for controlling the turn signals, turning the wipers on and off, and adjusting the air conditioner are located on the steering wheel. The cabin has a built-in speaker system of six speakers. A detailed list of equipment and options is formed at the request of the buyer. The trunk allows you to transport large household appliances such as a refrigerator, washing machine or TV. The maximum boot capacity is 1365 liters.
Cost and equipment
The range of cars produced by the chevrolet company is designed for a wide range of consumers. A detailed list of options for any model can always be found at your nearest dealership. A person can refuse the speaker system and heated seats. Or increase the number of airbags. If it is technically possible to fulfill the request, then the selling price of the vehicle is calculated.
