Chevrolet Trax will GMs answer to mini SUV competitors


Chevrolet will enter the mini SUV segment with the launch of all new Trax SUV.  The company has released a official image of the same and too some extent looks very similar to the Captiva. The car will be first shown at the Paris Motor Show in September.

The Trax will play a very important role for the Chevrolet in Mini SUV segment which is seen many new entrants. Ford and Renault were one amongst the first to see the potential of this segment.

The Chevrolet Trax will be sold in 140 countries and will be introduced first in Mexico in the fourth quarter of this year. But it will not be sold in the United States. The Trax is slightly smaller than the Chevrolet Equinox crossover SUV, which is sold only in the U.S. and Canadian markets.

The Trax will be built on the same underpinning platform as the Aveo and Sonic subcompact sedan which sadly the Indian market will not get and places of the same will be taken by the upcoming Sail twins which will go on sale after June.

Details including price, weight, length and fuel economy of the Trax are not released. We could expect similar power trains to do the duty on the Trax as in the Aveo twins.

India could certainly be one of the 140 countries which could see the launch of the Trax SUV.
