The GM Authority Take

The Chevy Trax continues to show the strength of the recently-formed subcompact crossover space in the United States, as well as car buyers’ seemingly insatiable demand for crossovers at the expense of sedans.

Chevrolet was second to enter the U.S. subcompact crossover space, with Nissan’s Juke being the first car to market in the segment. Rival automakers, including Honda and Toyota, have since followed suit by launching vehicles — the HR-V and CH-R, respectively — into the rapidly-growing segment. Meanwhile, GM cross-town rival, Ford, announced plans to start selling its Ford EcoSport CUV in the United States, which will compete directly with the Chevy Trax.

Given the growth of the B-segment CUV segment as well as the ongoing growth in crossover sales, we do not expect that sales of the Trax — which is built in South Korea and Mexico for the U.S. market — will decline any time soon.

  1. The facelift did a trick too, it looks a lot better now.

  2. It looks much better, but they should have done more inside than just the redesign of the instrument panel. It should have received a proper center console and armrest too. A better stereo would help too.

  3. Yes, it would be nice and I’m sure much more improvement will come with the new model in couple of years. They actually have done a lot to improve it. Usually it’s just a new nose job and couple touches here and there.
