General Motors jumps on the small SUV bandwagon with the introduction of the new Chevrolet Trax, which just celebrated its world premiere at the 2012 Paris Auto Show.
"Trax will be a popular choice with Canadians looking for the styling, functionality and cargo space expected of a much larger vehicle, but in a smaller sporty package,'' said Marc Comeau, vice-president of sales, service and marketing for Chevrolet in Canada.
The Chevrolet Trax boasts a 1.4L turbocharged engine that produces 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque through a six-speed manual transmission on the LS model. LT and LTZ models receive a six-speed autobox and available all-wheel drive.
Cargo capacity increases to 1,370 litres with the rear seats down. The front passenger seat folds flat, too, offering additional flexibility for longer items. More storage solutions can be found under the cargo floor.
Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system with 7'' touchscreen display comes standard on 2LT and LTZ models, while the Bringo navigation app (offered through online app stores) provides real-time traffic information as well as driving efficiency records.
The Canadian pricing and release date for the Chevrolet Trax will be announced later.
