2013 Chevrolet Tracker Review Pictures
Chevrolet
has positioned the Tracker to compete against car-based compact SUVs,
including the Mazda Tribute, Toyota RAV4, and Honda CRV, as well as
more serious truck-based off-roaders like the Kia Sportage. Under
its stylish skin, the 2013 Chevrolet Tracker fits in the latter category.
Tracker rides on a rigid, truck-like ladder frame, and offers part-time
four-wheel drive for maximum offroad capability. Its current look
is smoother and more sophisticated than that of previous-generation
Trackers, but retains some unique cues that give it a more rugged
appearance than the other mini-utilities. The front seats prop the
driver up high behind the wheel, and there's plenty of headroom. The
instruments are highly legible, and the switchgear operates with the
finesse of a Honda's or a Toyota's. If it weren't for the tiny little
buttons on the radio, the Chevrolet Tracker dash would be an unqualified
success.
The 2013 Chevrolet Tracker nose slopes away for good road visibility,
helpful when driving off road, while narrow roof pillars allow panoramic
vision, important on busy streets. The spare tire is set low enough
on the back door, so it does not block vision out the rear. Little
trucks are often better for carrying big things. With their higher
ground clearance, they can go places little cars can't, particularly
if the little truck has four-wheel-drive. Little trucks make a bigger
styling statement. A little truck tells the neighbors you relish adventure;
a little car says you relish economical living.
The 2013 Chevrolet Tracker also sells a four-door Tracker wagon, which many people will find more practical than the convertible. Four-door models also come in either two- or four-wheel drive, with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the base engine. Buyers who wish to make a more formal styling statement may choose the LT, which also comes with two or four-wheel-drive, but only on the four-door body. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine in the base four-wheel-drive Tracker wagon is smooth and provides enough power to entertain when coupled with the five-speed manual transmission. The air conditioning automatically activates whenever the windshield defroster is turned on, supplying dry air for quicker defogging. On four-door models, the system comes with a replaceable pollen filter that removes allergens and dust from the passenger compartment, a feature once reserved for luxury cars. Storage is rarely a problem. With armrests, cupholders, door pockets, and netting throughout the Tracker, there's a place for everything so you can keep everything in its place. Fabrics, plastics and other materials are first-rate.
