The 1.3L engine in the Trax has been around since 2018. It is used in everything from small crossovers like the Trax to full size cars like the Buick Lacrosse.

Small direct injection turbos are the bread and butter engines today. 57% of cars sold globally in 2022 have a turbo and DI is pretty much standard now.

Do oil changes on time and use the correct oil and you will be fine.
