New Chevrolet TRAX Medium SUV Is Equipped With a 5-Cylinder Turbo Engine Delivering 180 Horsepower and 27.5 kgfm of Torque

The TRAX is Chevrolet’s latest release in the medium SUV segment, arriving to fill the gap left by the late Cruze. Available in the North American market since last year, the TRX originated in China and is known as Seeker there. In Brazil, the TRAX aims to carve out its space in the medium SUV market and promises to be a challenge for the Jeep Compass, Volkswagen Taos, Toyota Corolla Cross, among others.

The TRAX is a project developed in China, bringing more interesting features than the simpler models of the Onix family. Focused on safety, equipment, and comfort, this new medium SUV is the official successor to the Cruze in all markets and will soon arrive in Brazil, positioning itself between the Equinox and the Tracker.

Design and Visual That Impress

The appearance of the TRAX is one of the strong points of the model, with a well-defined design that catches the eye. At the front, the grille with a chrome bar connecting the full LED headlights stands out. The Chevrolet features fluid lines, mirrors, and roof rack in Black Piano, giving it a modern and elegant look. The 18-inch wheels with a diamond finish and the full LED taillights complete the sophisticated visual of the TRAX.

With dimensions that bring it closer to the Taos, the TRAX measures 4.53 meters in length, 2.70 meters in wheelbase, 1.82 meters in width, 1.56 meters in height, weighing 1341 kg and offering 425 liters of trunk capacity. The model impresses not only with its design but also with the practicality and comfort it provides.

Engine and Performance That Goes From 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 Seconds

The TRAX is equipped with a 5-Cylinder Turbo Engine, delivering 180 horsepower and 27.5 kgfm of torque. Paired with a CVT automatic transmission with up to nine simulated gears, the SUV offers agile and efficient performance, going from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. Additionally, the TRX shows good fuel consumption averages, registering up to 10.9 km/l in urban circuits and 13.7 km/l on highways.

It is still unknown what mechanical configuration will be chosen for the TRX in Latin America, but considering the presence of the 1.5 engine in the Equinox, it is likely that this will be the option for the local market. With superior performance and energy efficiency, the TRX promises to win over consumers looking for a complete and reliable medium SUV.

TRX Follows the Standard of Chevrolet Models

The interior finish of the TRAX follows the standard of Chevrolet models, with areas in leather and predominance of hard plastics. The interior space of the SUV is generous, thanks to its wide wheelbase, ensuring comfort for five adults. In terms of equipment, the model stands out for its complete list of standard features, which includes everything from a keyless entry to a premium sound system, electrically adjustable seats, panoramic sunroof, digital climate control, among others.

The TRAX’s multimedia center features a 10.2-inch screen, offering wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, native GPS, and a rearview camera. With a well-equipped and comfortable interior, the TRAX stands out as a complete and modern option in the medium SUV segment.

Safety and Technology

In terms of safety, the TRAX is a complete model, offering everything from airbags to advanced driving assistance. From the base version, the SUV already features six airbags, traction and stability controls, ABS brakes, collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, among others. In the more complete versions, such as the RS, features like lane change alert, animal and pedestrian detection, cross traffic assist, among others, are added.

With a comprehensive technological and safety package, the TRAX stands out as an accessible and complete option in the medium SUV market. Competing with established models like the Jeep Compass and Toyota Corolla Cross, the TRAX promises to carve out its space and attract consumers looking for a modern and reliable SUV.

New Chevrolet TRAX SUV Promises to Become the Nightmare of the Jeep Compass, Volkswagen Taos, and Toyota Corolla Cross

The new Chevrolet TRAX arrives in the Brazilian market as an amazing option in the medium SUV segment, offering an attractive design, efficient engine, well-equipped interior, and a wide range of safety and technology features.

Positioned between the Equinox and the Tracker, the TRAX promises to fill an existing gap in the Chevrolet portfolio, competing on equal terms with the main competitors in the segment. With an accessible price and a complete proposal, the TRAX promises to become the nightmare of the Jeep Compass, Volkswagen Taos, Toyota Corolla Cross, among others.
