2018 Chevrolet Trax LT for Sale in Dearborn, Michigan

Looking for a 2018 Chevrolet Trax LT for sale in Dearborn, Michigan? Visit Father & Son Auto Sales and explore this compact SUV with turbocharged performance, comfortable seating, modern smartphone technology, and flexible cargo space. The Trax LT offers the elevated driving position and versatility of an SUV while remaining easy to maneuver through city streets and crowded parking lots. It makes a practical choice for commuting, running errands, transporting a small family, or taking a weekend trip. If you are shopping for a used compact SUV near Detroit, this Chevrolet Trax deserves a closer look.

Turbocharged 1.4L ECOTEC Engine

The 2018 Trax LT features a 1.4-liter ECOTEC turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It produces 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. The turbocharger helps the engine produce its peak torque at a low engine speed. As a result, the Trax provides useful response during city driving and normal highway merging. Its compact engine also helps balance everyday performance with practical fuel economy.

Six-Speed Automatic Transmission

Chevrolet pairs the turbocharged engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. The transmission handles gear changes automatically for an easy driving experience. It also includes a manual-shift function that gives the driver additional control when desired. Whether you are commuting through Dearborn or traveling on I-94, the Trax offers simple and predictable operation.

Front-Wheel Drive or Available All-Wheel Drive

The 2018 Trax LT was available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive models provide practical everyday efficiency. Meanwhile, available AWD can send additional power to the rear wheels when the system detects a loss of traction. That added capability can provide extra confidence during rain, snow, and changing Michigan road conditions. Because drivetrain equipment varies, contact Father & Son Auto Sales to confirm whether this Trax has front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

City-Friendly Size

The Trax is smaller than many traditional SUVs. That makes it easy to park, maneuver, and use on narrow city streets. Its compact footprint works well in Dearborn and Detroit. However, the tall roof and folding seating still provide useful passenger and cargo space. The elevated seating position also gives the driver a clear view of surrounding traffic.

Modern Chevrolet Exterior Design

The 2018 Trax has a clean and modern exterior with a bold Chevrolet grille, sculpted body lines, and compact proportions. The LT trim adds visual upgrades over the entry-level LS. Depending on installed equipment, exterior features may include:

  • Aluminum wheels
  • Roof rails
  • Silver-painted exterior accents
  • Heated power mirrors
  • Automatic headlights
  • LED taillights
  • Rear privacy glass
  • Power sunroof
  • Redline appearance package

Please contact us to confirm the wheels, roof equipment, sunroof, and appearance packages installed on this vehicle.

Seating for Five Passengers

The Trax provides seating for up to five passengers. Its upright design creates useful headroom while keeping the overall vehicle easy to handle. The front seating position offers good outward visibility. Meanwhile, the rear seat provides practical room for children, smaller adults, or occasional passengers. The Trax may be a good fit for:

  • Daily commuters
  • First-time SUV buyers
  • College students
  • Small families
  • Couples
  • City drivers
  • Buyers moving from a sedan into an SUV
  • Drivers who want a manageable vehicle with flexible cargo room

Comfortable LT Interior

The LT trim adds comfort and convenience equipment over the base model. Features include or may include:

  • Premium cloth seating
  • Cruise control
  • Remote-start system
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Steering-wheel-mounted controls
  • Air conditioning
  • Power windows
  • Power door locks
  • Remote keyless entry
  • Multiple cupholders
  • Driver Information Center
  • Additional storage compartments

The available LT Convenience Package adds features such as a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, keyless entry and start, upgraded seating trim, and other interior enhancements. Because package equipment varies, contact us to verify the seats, steering wheel, keyless-start system, and other convenience features.

Flexible Passenger and Cargo Space

The Trax provides approximately 18.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat. Folding the rear seat expands capacity to approximately 48.4 cubic feet. The front-passenger seat can also fold on properly equipped models, allowing longer items to fit inside the cabin. This flexible interior can accommodate:

  • Groceries
  • Shopping bags
  • Suitcases
  • Sports equipment
  • Work supplies
  • Pet carriers
  • Small furniture
  • Home-improvement items

The 60/40 split-folding rear seat lets you carry a longer item while keeping part of the rear seating area available for a passenger.

Seven-Inch Chevrolet MyLink Touchscreen

The 2018 Trax LT includes a seven-inch Chevrolet MyLink touchscreen. The display provides access to audio, phone, and compatible smartphone functions. Physical controls also make commonly used features easy to operate. Technology features include:

  • Seven-inch color touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay
  • Android Auto
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • Hands-free calling
  • Bluetooth audio streaming
  • Voice pass-through
  • AM/FM radio
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • Two USB ports
  • Auxiliary audio input
  • Steering-wheel-mounted controls
  • SiriusXM capability

Subscription-based services may require separate activation.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow compatible smartphones to connect with the Trax touchscreen. Depending on the phone and installed applications, drivers can access:

  • Navigation applications
  • Music and podcasts
  • Hands-free calling
  • Compatible text-messaging functions
  • Audiobooks
  • Selected voice-assistant features

Phone compatibility depends on the device, software, cable, and service provider. We recommend connecting and testing your phone during your visit.

Available 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot

The Trax offered an OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot for compatible devices. When properly activated with an eligible data plan, the hotspot can provide internet access for multiple devices inside the vehicle. Current operation depends on installed equipment, cellular-network support, an active OnStar account, and a separate data plan. Contact the service provider to confirm present availability.

Standard Rearview Camera

Every 2018 Trax includes a rearview camera. When the driver selects reverse, the camera displays the area behind the vehicle on the touchscreen. This feature can help while parking or leaving a driveway. However, drivers should still check their mirrors and surroundings before moving.

Safety and Driver Confidence

The Trax includes important safety systems designed to support stable and predictable driving. Standard safety equipment includes:

  • Rearview camera
  • Ten airbags
  • Four-wheel anti-lock brakes
  • StabiliTrak electronic stability control
  • Traction control
  • Brake assist
  • Tire-pressure monitoring
  • Daytime running lights
  • LATCH child-seat anchors
  • OnStar emergency-service capability with active service

All-wheel-drive models use four-wheel disc brakes. Front-wheel-drive versions use front disc and rear drum brakes.

Available Driver Confidence Package

The available Driver Confidence Package for the LT adds:

  • Side Blind Zone Alert
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Rear Park Assist

These features were not standard on every Trax LT. The package also required other compatible equipment, including the LT Convenience Package. Contact Father & Son Auto Sales to confirm whether this vehicle includes the Driver Confidence Package.

Lane-Departure Warning Clarification

Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Alert were associated with higher Trax equipment configurations and were not standard features on the 2018 LT. Therefore, this vehicle should not be advertised with lane-departure warning unless its factory build information confirms the feature. Driver-assistance systems support attentive driving but do not replace careful observation.

Practical Fuel Economy

When new, the 2018 Trax received EPA estimates that varied according to drivetrain. Front-wheel-drive models were rated at approximately 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. All-wheel-drive models were rated at approximately 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Actual fuel economy varies according to traffic, weather, maintenance, tire condition, driving habits, and passenger or cargo load.

A Practical Compact SUV for Michigan

The Trax LT offers a useful combination of compact dimensions, turbocharged performance, technology, and flexible cargo space. It may be a strong fit for:

  • Daily commuting
  • City driving
  • First-time SUV ownership
  • College or work transportation
  • Small-family use
  • Grocery shopping and errands
  • Weekend travel
  • Drivers who value easy parking
  • Michigan buyers interested in available AWD
  • Shoppers who want Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Its smaller footprint can also mean easier maneuvering and lower operating costs than a large SUV.

Used Trax Ownership Considerations

Maintenance history matters when purchasing any pre-owned turbocharged vehicle. Regular oil changes with the correct oil help protect the engine and turbocharger. During your visit, consider checking:

  • Available service records
  • Engine oil level and condition
  • Cooling-system condition
  • Turbocharger response
  • Transmission operation
  • AWD operation, if equipped
  • Brake performance
  • Tire condition and tread depth
  • Steering and suspension feel
  • Heating and air-conditioning
  • Touchscreen and Bluetooth operation
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Rearview-camera operation
  • Remote-start operation
  • Folding rear-seat operation
  • Exterior and interior condition
  • Dashboard warning lights
  • Optional safety features

A complete test drive can help you evaluate the Trax’s acceleration, braking, comfort, visibility, and overall condition.

Affordable Used SUV Value

A pre-owned Trax LT provides many modern features without the price or size of a newer midsize SUV. It includes smartphone integration, a touchscreen, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, flexible seating, and useful cargo capacity. In addition, available AWD and the Driver Confidence Package can add further value when installed. For shoppers comparing affordable used SUVs in Metro Detroit, the Trax offers a sensible combination of technology, maneuverability, and everyday usefulness.
