Fun Times With The Chevy Spark And Chevy Trax In Lehigh Valley

Fancy an adventure around some of Pennsylvania’s most fetching tourist traps? Maybe you’re looking to find a bit of fun on the weekend with family or friends in the Chevy Spark? Or perhaps you might enjoy some good times, roasted marshmallows, and camping under the stars with the crossover Chevy Trax to bring you there? Either way, if you’ve been bitten by the traveler’s bug and seek some adventure in your life, you might find some affordable fun with the 2021 Chevy Spark and 2021 Chevy Trax, both of which are currently available from your local Chevy dealer in Lehigh Valley.

What Makes the Chevy Spark Fun to Drive?

The first thing you’ll notice about the Spark is its design and the undeniable street appeal that the hatchback carries with it. Even though the 2021 Chevy Spark is identical in its aesthetic design to the 2020 model, it’s still easily one of the more visually enticing compacts on the market. Despite being considered on the lower end of the pricing spectrum, the Spark still gives drivers something ogle-worthy to hit the street with.

Both your pavement-based and dirt-route travels through Lehigh Valley will be safely covered with standard built-in features such as hill-start assist and electronic stability and traction control thanks to StabiliTrak. You also have automatic tire pressure monitoring so you can avoid worrying about the Spark getting stranded with a flat during a weekend hike through a forest trail. The rear-vision camera also ensures that you’ll be able to see clearly behind you during your night drive escapades.

Even if you’re just taking your Spark through the local territory for simple commuting or errands, you can keep your passengers absorbed in the infotainment suite featuring a 7-inch touchscreen, USB ports for plug-and-play compatibility, and Bluetooth connectivity for smart devices. So no matter where you go, everyone riding in the Spark will be entertained one way or another.

Fun Adventures with the 2021 Chevy Spark

Sporting four different trims, each with optional manual and automatic transmission configurations, the Spark covers everything from compact, comfortable cruising through the city to out-of-city, off-road exploits via a 1.4L EcoTec 4-cylinder engine producing 98 hp through a 5-speed transmission. If you need something to get you from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ without any hassles, the LS, 1LT, and 2LT 1trims have you covered. In the mood to trek through Pennsylvania’s more vertically-inclined terrain? The ACTIV features a ride height increase over the other trims, custom wheel design, and an altered front and rear fascia to facilitate skid plates to keep the undercarriage safe from any sort of unintended mishaps.

Given the Spark’s excellent fuel economy of 30 MPG in the city and 38 MPG on the highway, it makes it a prime candidate to explore some of the more exotic roads and locations sprinkled across Lehigh Valley. If you prefer playing it safe, you can take the family, friends, or a special someone through the arcadian streets of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to kindle feelings of levity and joy. Are you feeling a little dangerous? The Spark ACTIV was designed to explore beyond the boundaries of city streets and paved highways. Dirt roads and SUV trails like Fry Rd in Tidioute might give the ACTIV a more active workout than the joyrides in the urban jungle, all while putting those skid-plates and four-wheel anti-lock brakes to good use.

What Makes the Chevy Trax Fun to Drive?

The four-door, five-seat compact crossover SUV from Chevy fits into a very specific niche. It’s not big enough to handle the tow load of a standard SUV or pickup, but it’s not quite small enough to accommodate being a compact sedan. In a way, the 2021 Chevy Trax is designed to appeal to college students looking for affordable fun who like to go adventuring during downtime, young entrepreneurs who enjoy the great outdoors, or a small family who enjoy the occasional hiking or camping trip.

What the Trax lacks in fuel economy compared to some of its nearest competitors, it attempts to make up for it with a number of other accouterments and quality of life features, such as a full floor console, illuminated entry points, tilted steering options, power windows, and cruise control with steering options. Even if you’re not in the driver’s seat, there’s still plenty to keep you occupied while on the road with the Trax, such as the SiriusXM radio support, wireless phone connectivity, and LCD monitors with touchscreen controls.

Great Outdoor Excursions with the 2021 Chevy Trax

Unlike the Spark, there are only two trims for the 2021 Chevy Trax: the LS and LT. Both trims offer multiple package options, with the LT receiving most of the feature-list love from Chevy. Both trims come standard with a 1.4L engine that produces 138 hp through a 6-speed automatic transmission on a front-wheel drivetrain. All-wheel drive options are also available for a slight price hike for both the LS and LT, but you lose some fuel economy along the way. The front-wheel drive offers 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway, while the all-wheel drive option gives you 24 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway.

This makes the Trax convenient enough for light travels to places like the Allentown mall or cruising to the local fair for a little weekend getaway. For more audacious ventures, the LT trim’s roof rails allow for carrying mountain bikes or excursion gear so you can hit up cragging spots like Birdsboro Quarry or Safe Harbor.

For more vehicular-based activities, you can take the 2021 Chevy Trax through the various trails near or around Lehigh Valley, such as Musconetcong Gorge, which is just across the Delaware River. The gas-pressurized front and rear shocks, coupled with the front anti-roll bar and electric power assisted rack-and-pinion steering make the Trax completely capable of some light off-road driving.

Big Adventures and Affordable Fun

Bank-conscious adventuring is probably the best way to describe the 2021 Chevy Trax, while affordable fun is perhaps the best way to sum up the 2021 Chevy Spark. Both are budget-priced options available from your local Chevy dealer in Lehigh Valley.

The starting MSRP for the 2021 Chevy Spark LS is $13,400, while the 1LT trim starts at $15,300, and the 2LT starts at $16,800. The off-road-ready Spark ACTIV’s MSRP is $16,400. Each of the trims are also available with optional manual or automatic 5-speed transmissions. The manual options are $1,000 less than the automatic options.

The 2021 Chevy Trax MSRP starts at $21,400 for the LS trim and $23,200 for the LT trim. For an extra few hundred, you can swap the front-wheel drive option for an all-wheel drive for both trims. The LS also comes with four optional packages, including a tint and cruise package, a cargo package, an interior protection package, and a lifestyle package. The LT trim has ten optional packages available – including all of the package options from the LS trim. The other six packages include the premium seat package, driver confidence package, the convenience package, road trip package, and the special Midnight Edition for an additional $470 and the Redline Edition for an additional $995.
