The GM Authority Take

As car buyers continue to buy crossovers at the expense of sedans, the Chevrolet Trax continues to demonstrate the strength of the subcompact (B-segment) crossover segment in the United States — a newfound phenomenon.

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 by GM South Korea and by GM Mexico for the U.S. market — will decline in the near future, barring some sort of supply, availability or other production-related issues.
