It is fair to say that Chevrolet knows a little about SUVs, having invented the class over 75 years ago with the introduction of the Suburban Carryall in 1935. At the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the all-new Chevrolet Trax celebrates its world premiere, representing Chevrolet’s first entry to the fast-growing small SUV segment. Trax will round out Chevrolet’s offer of stylish SUVs alongside Captiva.  

“Chevrolet has been known for its dependable and capable SUVs for many decades. Trax will deliver on all of the traditional Chevrolet values and more. It is a modern, highly versatile yet fuel-efficient small SUV, offering car-like handling and all-wheel drive,” said Susan Docherty, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Europe. “Trax is the modern expression of one of Chevrolet’s core competencies, which is building and selling great SUVs,” Docherty said.  

Athletic stance, powerful body lines:

Measuring 4,248 mm in length, 1,776 mm in width and 1,674 mm in height, Chevrolet’s new small SUV will energize the segment with its inspired styling, a choice of three fuel-efficient engines and sporty, responsive ride characteristics.   From all angles, Trax conveys athletic agility and movement. The subtle centerline crease on the hood surface and the detailed halogen headlamps add to the vehicle’s dynamic appearance.  

While Trax’ exterior is characterized by powerful body lines and a planted stance, engineers and designers have made sure the SUV is also aerodynamically refined. Its rearward swept roofline, a fascia-mounted air dam and an integrated roof spoiler contribute to the Trax’ aerodynamic efficiency. Wheel offerings are 16 or 18-inches in size. 

We're looking forward to seeing the Holden TRAX here in 2013!
