Chevrolet Trax all set for world premiere in Paris

• Trax boasts true Chevrolet SUV looks

• Modern, well-organized and flexible interior

• Choice of three engines: 1.4L turbo, 1.6L gasoline engine, 1.7L diesel

• On-demand all-wheel drive system for off-road adventures

• Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system to feature navigation app

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. In just a few weeks' time, the all-new Chevrolet Trax will celebrate its world premiere at the Paris motor show on September 27, representing Chevrolet's first entry to the fast growing small SUV segment. Trax will round out Chevrolet's offer of stylish SUVs alongside Captiva.

"For many decades, Chevrolet has been known for its dependable and capable SUVs. 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.

Measuring 4,248 mm in length, and featuring a width of 1,776 mm and a wheelbase of 2,555 mm, Chevrolet's new small SUV sports powerful body lines that convey agility and movement. With the golden bowtie separating the upper from the lower port of its prominent front grille, Trax can immediately be identified as a member of the Chevrolet family.

Three fuel-efficient engines and on-demand AWD system

Trax has sufficient space to accommodate five persons in a comfortable high seating position. It will deliver car-like handling while also enabling off-road capability when needed.

The engine line-up will include a 1.4L turbocharged gasoline unit, a 1.6L gasoline engine as well as a 1.7L turbo-diesel engine. The 1.4L turbo gasoline engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, cranks out 140 hp (103 kW) and produces a maximum torque of 200 Nm. The AWD system is available on variants that come with the 1.4L turbo gasoline or the 1.7L diesel engine.

The 1.7L diesel engine will deliver a power output of 130 hp (96 kW) and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. All powertrains with manual transmission come with Start/Stop functionality. Both the 1.7L diesel and the 1.4L* turbo gasoline engine will also be offered with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Cabin offers unique storage flexibility and connectivity

Inside, Trax delivers a message of clean sophistication that is complemented by useful convenience features such as a cluster combining digital readouts with analogue displays.

Storage amenities in the new Trax are plentiful. Besides a 358L trunk, they include various bins above and on both sides of the center stack, as well as an available under pass seat tray. Further stowage can be made available under the cargo floor.

In addition to a 60/40 split rear seat, Trax boasts a front passenger seat which can be folded flat, offering additional flexibility in the segment. A total of eight seating combinations can be selected.

Upper trims will be equipped with Chevrolet MyLink as standard. Chevrolet MyLink is an infotainment system that aggregates content from smartphones onto a seven-inch, high resolution, full color touch-screen display. As of this winter, MyLink will feature a navigation app which can be downloaded onto compatible smartphones. It will project the route calculated by the smartphone onto the system's touch-screen.

Rock-solid safety

An array of standard passive and active safety systems will ensure that occupants are effectively protected in the event of an accident. Trax will be equipped with six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) including Hill Start Assist (HSA), Traction Control (TC), an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution. Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) and Hill Descent Control (HDC) are standard on LT trim vehicles.

[Touareg 2.5]

Da questa foto il muso sembra abbastanza monolitico ma non male in assoluto, anche se continua a campeggiare la calandra divisa in due.

Credevo fosse na versione riservata agli amici Do Brazil, ed invece verrà venduta anche da noi, che culo . Quantomeno costerà meno del Mokka.

[Teknos]

Dai che alla prossima generazione lo spoiler anteriore toccherà direttamente l'asfalto

[Uomo dell'Ovest]

Come la opel soffre di quell'anteriore inutilmente alto e massiccio (almeno a vedere le concorrenti). Almeno togliere tutta la plasticaccia sotto i fendinebbia... va beh che, a ben vedere, si perde per strada da sola al primo gradino un po' pronunciato, tanto è bassa.

Preceduto un'altra volta nelle considerazioni

[Pandino]

Ma come li scelgono i nomi nel gruppo GM ?

[Teknos]

Chissà se il bianco Traxi le starà bene

Ok la smetto

[Touareg 2.5]

Ma come li scelgono i nomi nel gruppo GM ?

Trax non è un nome nuovo. Venne utilizzato per uno dei tre concepts (Trax) che dovevano anticipare la nuova matiz . Fecero un contest e vinse la Beat, che poi venne chiamata Spark in Europa ed USA .

[Nick for Speed]

Ma non ho capito, è la gemella della Moka codesta?

[el Nino]

Come nella Mokka, il cofano è altissimo e ciò ha costretto i designers a prolungare verso il basso il paraurti, rendendo l'auto tozza. Addirittura ci saranno 7-8 cm tra la linea di cintura e il lato superiore del cofano! Comunque preferisco le linee semplici di questo frontale a quello della Mokka, troppo "arzigogolato". Vedremo cosa hanno combinato al posteriore. L'unico dubbio è il posizionamento sul mercato, visto che deve stare sotto Opel, ma se stanno troppo bassi potrebbero sottrarle parecchi clienti. Vista la politica aggressiva della scontistica Chevrolet, è più che possibile.

Yes, come Antara e Captiva
