After a time of limited availability (originated by supply problems derived from obstacles to imports and the impossibility of transferring foreign currency abroad until last year), since it began to be produced in our country Chevrolet Tracker was recovering step by step its position among the B-segment SUV. In fact, so far this year it is not only the best seller among its peers, but it also occupies seventh place in the general ranking of patents.
And it is logical that this is the case, because the proposal is really attractive for that public that is looking for a versatile mobile phone, with reliable mechanics and a good level of equipment. The current offer consists of five versions: MT, AT, LTZ, Premier and RS (with sporty factory look). The one we evaluated was the LTZ.

The external aesthetic remains the same since the second generation was launched in 2020: it is proportionate, modern and attractive to the eye.
Inside we find elements consistent with an intermediate range: upholstered in fabric and ecological leather, soft plastic coverings and good finishes in general. Comfort and technology equipment includes: air conditioning, front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, USB and 12V sockets and more.
As is usual in bun models, connectivity plays a fundamental role in all their models. And this is no exception, since in addition to having native Wi-Fi (with the possibility of connecting several devices simultaneously) it has an interface for the infotainment system (compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay) that is easy to operate and accessible through an 8″ touch screen. Added to this is the OnStar travel assistance and emergency system, which works perfectly.
Good visibility towards the entire environment, a high and easy-to-find driving position (following the current trend), easy-to-access and read commands and a dashboard that mixes analog clocks with a digital display in the center for the trip computer are the main features.
Performs very well

We have already commented several times the benefits of this set, which fits very well with the model proposal: a family sport utility designed both for use in the city and for taking trips without inconveniences or surprises. There is good power and torque from below in the impeller and a well-related box that gives it response when conditions require it. Beyond that, it could be said that it prioritizes efficiency and performance more than explosive reactions (it is not a vehicle for that); A clear example of this is that in traffic it does not exceed 1500 rpm and that on the road at a constant 130 km/h it works close to 2200 rpm.
The selector adds an L position (below the D) that what it does is retain the first gears for situations in which all the power is required. polenta constantly; It would be something like a kind of decline in 4×4 traction.

On the other hand, the consumption They are in line with those of the segment: in the city it demands about 9.5 L/100 km, while on the road at 130 km/h it drops to 7 L/100 km.
It is very simple and pleasant to handle, with a thoughtfully progressive steering (light for maneuvering in small spaces, firmer at speed), suspensions that absorb road imperfections very well and a clearance that allows you to avoid ditches and donkey backs without complications.
