GM Bets On New TRAX To Dominate The Mid-Size SUV Market In Brazil

Arriving to fill the space left by the Cruze, the TRAX is Chevrolet’s new mid-size SUV, a GM brand, ready to compete with the Jeep Compass and the Toyota Corolla Cross. Smaller than the Equinox, the TRX promises to be a more complete and accessible option.

The TRAX, the newest mid-size SUV from Chevrolet, is ready to conquer Brazil. Originally called Seeker in China, where it was developed, the TRAX comes to replace the Cruze, which is no longer sold. Manufactured in Mexico, like the Equinox, GM’s new mid-size SUV promises to be a thorn in the side of models like the Jeep Compass, Volkswagen Taos, and Toyota Corolla Cross.

With a length of 4.53 m, a wheelbase of 2.70 m, a width of 1.82 m, and a height of 1.56 m, the TRAX stands out with its modern and robust design. The SUV weighs 1,341 kg and offers a trunk capacity of 425 liters. Equipped with full LED headlights, a chrome grille, and 18-inch wheels, the TRX’s appearance is one of its strengths.

Engine

Under the hood, the new mid-size SUV from Chevrolet features a 1.5 turbo engine, with direct fuel injection, delivering 180 horsepower and 27.5 kgfm of torque. The CVT automatic transmission with up to nine simulated gears ensures agile performance, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. Fuel consumption is also appealing, with averages of up to 10.9 km/l in the city and 13.7 km/l on the highway, always using gasoline.

Interior

Inside, the TRAX does not disappoint. The finish combines leather and plastic, providing comfort and space for five adults. In terms of technology, GM’s mid-size SUV is complete: keyless entry, premium sound system, seats with electric adjustments, heating and ventilation, panoramic sunroof, start-stop, electronic parking brake, and much more. The multimedia system features a 10.2-inch screen, wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, native GPS, and a rearview camera.

Safety

Safety is another highlight of the TRAX. From the base model, the SUV comes with six airbags, traction and stability controls, four-wheel ABS disc brakes, collision alert, autonomous emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist. The more complete versions add lane departure warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind spot alert, automatic high beam switching, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.

The TRAX arrives in the market positioned between the Tracker and the Equinox, filling the gap left by the Cruze. With competitive prices, Chevrolet’s new mid-size SUV has everything to win over Brazilians and take on market leaders, such as the Jeep Compass and the Toyota Corolla Cross. So, are you ready to say goodbye to the Corolla Cross and give GM’s newcomer a chance?

Parece ser um excelente veículo, mas com “4,53 cm de comprimento, 2,70 cm de entre eixos, 1,82 cm de largura e 1,56 cm de altura” é pequeno demais, não?
