[USA] Chevrolet Trax 2024

[Cole_90]

In America debutta la nuova Chevrolet Trax, modello che sostiuisce la precedente generazione conosciuta anche in Europa e fuori produzione negli USA da diversi mesi.

Se vi sembra familiare, non sbagliate, è sostanzialmente la Seeker vista in Cina qualche mese fa e si imporrà come nuova entry level di Chevrolet (da 21k dolllari circa) benché sia leggermente più grande di Trailblazer (4,54m contro i 4,41m).

Oltre agli allestimenti LT, LS, 1RS e 2RS troviamo anche il nuovo ACTIV, con un aspetto un po’ più rugged come di attuale moda.

Il motore, però è un 1.2 Turbo a 3 cilindri da 139 cv e 219 Nm, a trazione anteriore e con cambio automatico a 6 rapporti.

La dotazione è già molto completa dagli allestimenti base con schermo infotainment da 8” per poi passare agli 11” dei top di gamma; molto ampio anche il corredo di ADAS.

Verrà prodotta nello stabilimento sudcoreano dove veniva assemblata la Spark.

Cita

DETROIT – Chevrolet today introduced a reimagined Trax — a new, technology-forward choice for customers seeking the practicality of a compact car and the utility of an SUV.

Larger than today’s Trax, it provides more space for passengers and cargo, along with more standard and available content. A robust array of standard safety features and a suite of technologies will help keep customers connected, all at a starting MSRP of only $21,495¹.

“The all-new Trax has everything you need and nothing you don’t,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet. “More space. More features. More style. This is an entry-level vehicle that will surprise and delight customers with its value and plays a critical role as the gateway into the Chevy brand.”

Five distinct personalities — LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS and ACTIV — offer design and content choices, while all trims add enhanced features and technologies, including:

• Chevy Safety Assist² with six advanced safety and driver awareness technologies
• Larger infotainment³ screens — a standard 8-inch-diagonal system and an 11-inch-diagonal screen on LT, 2RS and ACTIV trims
• Wireless Apple CarPlay⁴ and Android Auto⁵capability
• LED headlamps
• 17-inch, 18-inch or 19-inch wheels
• Four-wheel disc brakes
• Active Noise Cancellation

Additional new features on most trims include push-button start, automatic climate control, wireless phone charging⁶ and more. Cruise control is also standard equipment on all models and Adaptive Cruise Control²is available on some trims, a first for Trax.

The new Trax is powered by a 1.2L turbocharged inline-three engine rated at a GM-estimated 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. It is matched with a proven six-speed automatic transmission. The turbo contributes to excellent on-demand power, particularly for passing maneuvers and on-ramp acceleration.

Modern and purposeful design

Longer, lower and wider than the current model, the 2024 Trax introduces an athletic, muscular design inspired by the Chevrolet Blazer.

“The bold exterior and tech-forward interior design of the all-new Trax redefines what an entry-level vehicle can be,” said Phil Zak, executive design director, Global Chevrolet. “It demonstrates that modern, stylish design doesn’t have to come at a premium.”  

At the front, sleek horizontal lines emphasize the vehicle’s width and are designed around the lines of the iconic Chevy bowtie at the center of the grille, which flow outward to the slim, Blazer-inspired headlamps that feature all-new LED lighting elements. Chevy-signature high-eye LED daytime running lamps make the Trax more visible, day or night.

A sleeker side profile is enhanced by a 4-inch-lower (101 mm) overall height than the current model, while strong “shoulders” in the body contribute to a taut, muscular presence and strong stance.

Each trim has specific design cues, including specific grille designs and wheels, as well as unique décor, depending on the model:

• LS and LT feature clean, straightforward designs, with additional bright trim on LT. 17-inch steel wheels are standard on LS and 17-inch machined aluminum wheels are standard on LT.
• RS trims offer the Trax’s sportiest design with additional exterior trim accents, as well as a unique grille with an embedded RS badge. The 1RS trim includes unique 18-inch machine-faced aluminum wheels and the 2RS features 19-inch machine-faced aluminum wheels.
• The new ACTIV has a monochromatic look including titanium chrome accents and an aggressive-looking rear skid plate motif. It also features unique black 18-inch wheels.

New dimensions enhance driving experience, spaciousness

The new Trax’s larger dimensions pay dividends when it comes to the driving experience and interior spaciousness, with its nearly 6-inch-longer wheelbase and wider track offering more composed ride and handling characteristics, compared to the current model.

Inside, the 11-inch greater length and 2-inch greater width than the current model translates into greater roominess and cargo capacity, including 3 inches more rear legroom, which increases comfort for rear-seat passengers, and maximum cargo capacity that increases by nearly 12%.

Technology-forward interior

Trax’s interior was designed to have a lightweight feel, achieved with sweeping lines and light, technical cues that emphasize the vehicle’s width and create a sense of airiness — all enabled by the vehicle’s longer, lower and wider platform.

The low instrument panel enhances outward visibility and contributes to the feeling of airiness, while a technical texture pattern sweeps across, adding depth. Other elements take inspirations from other recent Chevy performance vehicle designs, including signature round vents and more.

Display screens are the centerpiece of the tech-forward design, with the infotainment screen canted slightly toward the driver, for more intuitive control. LS and 1RS trims feature an 8-inch-diagonal infotainment color touchscreen, while LT, 2RS and ACTIV have an 11-inch-diagonal infotainment color touchscreen and an 8-inch-diagonal driver information center.

The different trims also receive their own décor and accents, including:

• LT features black seats with Sky Cool Gray accents
• 2RS features red accents on the seats and a racing-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel
• ACTIV features Evotex seats with yellow accents
• RS and ACTIV trims feature black bowtie emblems

Additional standard and available content include:

• Center console with ergonomically optimized shifter location
• An electronic parking brake opens up more storage space in the console
• Four bottle holders and two cupholders
• Heated front seats, steering wheel and outside mirrors are standard on 1RS, 2RS and ACTIV and available on LT. Heated front seats and outside mirrors are available on LS
• Remote start standard on 1RS, LT, 2RS and ACTIV and available on LS
• Automatic climate control, push-button start and added rear-seat USB ports on LT, 2RS and ACTIV
• Power-adjustable driver’s seat on ACTIV
• Available sunroof

For the first time on Trax, customers can wirelessly connect Apple CarPlay⁴ or Android Auto⁵ to the infotainment system, while wireless phone charging⁶ is a new available feature on LT, 2RS and ACTIV. Trax also continues to offer Wi-Fi Hotspot capability⁷.

Chevy Safety Assist and more

When it comes to safety and driver awareness technology, the 2024 Trax ups the ante with new, standard Chevy Safety Assist² — a suite of six advanced safety and driver awareness technologies that include:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Forward Collision Alert
• IntelliBeam auto high-beam control
• Following Distance Indicator

A Rear Vision Camera² is also standard, while Adaptive Cruise Control², Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert ², Rear Cross Traffic Alert² and Rear Park Assist² are available.

Tra questa e la Hornet prenderei questa, più bella e costa meno.

In un universo parallelo, questa sarebbe stata la nuova Mokka, corretto?

No, questa è decisamente più grande delle ex gemelle.

[nucarote]

A me ricorda la Qashqai, comunque potrebbe essere un buon prodotto se Chevrolet decidesse di tornare in EU a breve.

[Auditore]

Vedo che Chevrolet ha imboccato la strada giusta per il nuovo stile. Sembrano bei prodotti con una chiara identità

Difficile a dirsi 😅 però erede di Mokka sarebbe stato Encore GX

[aboutdas]

Non capisco bene quindi come costruiscano il posizionamento di gamma in Chevy... Comunque lei me la ricordo, è quella coi fari uguali alla Micra EU al posteriore

[Renault]

Potevano arrotondare al 2030 con l'anno di presentazione.

 

Comunque anche a me sembra un buon prodotto, potrebbe essere interessante da importare direttamente dagli USA (da parte di qualche importatore abbastanza grosso, tipo quelli che ora portano le Camaro) e venderlo ad un prezzo di 25/26 mila euro, costerebbe praticamente 10k euro in meno dei suoi concorrenti e permetterebbe un discreto guadagno (considerando anche i costi del trasporto) per ogni esemplare.

Raga, se tornano lo fanno solo con le EV.
