Chevrolet: Tracker/Trax News
All-New 2020 Chevrolet Tracker Leaks In China | GM Authority
Just two days ago, we showed you that General Motors teased the all-new 2020 Chevrolet Tracker. Now, Chevy’s new subcompact crossover SUV has been completely leaked in China. Today, the country’s authorities inadvertently revealed the new model from SAIC-GM, allowing us to see the new Tracker’s exterior design, along with the specifications for the Chinese-market model. As shown in the spy photos and GM’s teaser image, the new 2020 Chevrolet Tracker adopts the latest iteration of Chevy’s design language and includes some elements already seen in several other new models. This is especially true in the front, where the headlights, grilles, and bumper cover treatment are similar to those of the new Orlando. Meanwhile, the bright element that connects the upper part of the grille with the headlights is a characteristic introduced on the new 2019 Blazer. Meanwhile, the design of the side and rear end have a unique appearance. On the sides, the high beltline and pronounced wheel arches stand out. The lower section of the doors is adorned with a black plastic, protecting the space from debris flying off the wheels while giving the vehicle a tougher, more robust appearance. The rear end, meanwhile, has a relatively simple design with horizontal lights positioned just below the rear window. Compared to the current, first-generation Chevy Trax, the new 2020 Chevrolet Tracker is 0.9 inches longer, an inch wider and almost two inches lower. The wheelbase is up by 0.6 inches to 101.2 inches. Under the hood sits a turbo-charged, 1.0L three-cylinder engine making a maximum 115 horsepower. It is expected to be paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. In addition, it is possible that the range-topping version will feature another engine that’s more powerful. The 2020 Chevrolet Tracker could make its official debut at a special event in China in March. It will be one of the first in a series of high-volume GM vehicles for developing markets. The 2020 Chevrolet Tracker will be a new offering in the small crossover utility vehicle segment. Note that this is not the next-gen Chevy Trax, which could be renamed to TrailBlazer. Instead, the Tracker is expected to be offered exclusively in developing markets. The model rides on the new GM GEM platform and is assigned the JBUC project code. As such, the Chevrolet Tracker will no longer be mechanically related to the Chevy Trax, which is the case today. Instead, the future Chevrolet Trax will ride on the GM VSS-F platform (vehicle set). Despite being roughly the same size, the new Chevrolet Tracker will be positioned below the Trax in terms of feature/content and price, enabling it to improve Chevrolet’s competitiveness in developing markets such as China, Mexico and South America. |

I don’t know if it’s confirmation bias or their actual designs but somehow Chevrolet makes their designs more modern and still looking cheap at the same time. I look at that design and the only thing I can think is it will fill rental lots at Hertz. |

Chevrolet 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 previous Trax model, 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 $21,495. "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:
The new Chevrolet 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:
The new Chevy 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 Chevrolet 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:
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 Assist - a suite of six advanced safety and driver awareness technologies that include:
