ACCELERATION
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3 | 2.9 |
Both engines struggle to build speed from a stop or in passing. With its V6, Suzuki's Grand Vitara is much stronger.
FUEL ECONOMY
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4 | 4.8 |
We averaged 20.2 mpg with a 2.0-liter 5-speed 4WD soft-top--not great for a mini SUV. Wagons should do slightly worse.
RIDE QUALITY
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 2.7 |
Some fore-aft pitching even on fairly smooth roads, but most bumps are absorbed without jarring.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 3.5 |
Competent, with unexceptional grip in turns. Overall, Tracker feels less composed than the Honda CR-V--though neither matches the car-based Subaru Forester.
QUIETNESS
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 2.4 |
Wind and road noise are lower than in most compact SUVs, but both engines are gruff and loud in hard acceleration.
CONTROLS
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 3 | 4.4 |
Radio and climate controls are within easy reach, but are mounted low enough to require a long look away from the road to adjust--and the radio has particularly tiny buttons.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 3 | 4.4 |
Seats are firm and comfortable, and there's sufficient leg room along with ample head room.
ROOM/COMFORT (REAR)
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3 | 2.9 |
Short on leg room unless the front seats are well forward. There's a moderate step-up into the interior, but the narrow rear doors make it awkward to get in and out.
CARGO ROOM
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 6.6 |
Scant behind the rear seat, but the standard split/folding seatback drops to increase space and versatility. Tailgate opens to the right, hampering curbside loading.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| Base conv 2WD, man. | LT 4WD | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 3.8 |
Tracker has minor off-road prowess going for it, but remains an also-ran among mini-SUVs in the kind of driving most people do. A CR-V, Forester, or RAV4 is much more pleasant and enjoyable. They're roomier too, and have higher resale values.
