4. Chevrolet Trax (AWD): 9.7 seconds
A bit late getting into the small crossover market, Chevrolet have nevertheless produced a popular vehicle with the Trax. At first glance it literally looks like a shrunken Equinox. The Trax isn’t about performance but instead focuses on room and practicality. This is made abundantly clear when you look under the hood and find a 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder engine which produces a mere 138 hp and 148 lbs ft of torque. Available with either FWD or AWD, buyers should know that the AWD configuration gives better capabilities but reduced fuel-economy and performance due to extra weight. Chevrolet may cite a 0-60 time of closer to 9 seconds, yet testers at Autoweek found that their AWD Trax came in at 9.7 seconds.
