All-New 2023 Chevy Trax To Be Revealed In October

The current generation of the Chevy Trax crossover is scheduled to sunset after the 2022 model year, as GM Authority was the first to report and later confirmed by GM. As such, the all-new 2023 Chevy Trax will launch soon, and now, GM Authority has learned when the next-gen 2023 Chevy Trax will get its big debut.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the next-generation 2023 Chevy Trax will officially debut on October 12th, which means we’re now about a month away from the big reveal. This confirms an earlier GM Authority report that the new Trax would debut sometime in the fall of the 2022 calendar year.

The all-new 2023 Chevy Trax is expected to introduce new front-end styling that will follow similar design cues as the Chevy Tracker and Chevy Blazer. Additionally, the upcoming Trax will feature a small-displacement engine with a turbocharger, which will power a front-wheel drivetrain as standard. An all-wheel drivetrain will be offered as optional. Meanwhile, under the body panels, the 2023 Chevy Trax will ride on a variant of the GM VSS-F vehicle set.

In terms of pricing, the upcoming 2023 Chevy Trax is expected to be offered as a relatively affordable crossover. This is particularly relevant when considering the upcoming discontinuation of the Chevy Spark, which is set to exit the U.S. market following the end of the 2022 model year. Chevy Spark production ended at the GM Changwon plant in South Korea on August 31st, per previous GM Authority coverage, with the final order cycle completed June 16th. Looking ahead, the South Korea facility will begin production of a new crossover model, and was recently updated with a new paint shop.

  1. Puzzling! Been years since GM offered multiple models in same segment within the same brand and then entire GM portfolio.
    With Trax/Trailblazer & Nox/Blazer we return to the Chevelle Malibu/Monte Carlo that gave GM such a huge market share. Other carmakers don’t generally do thus especially as EV comes online but it’s cost efficient.
    Curious to see if Buick gets GEM Encore which is a beautiful design surpassing most of the segment. GEM could be Federalized with added engineering efforts. Buick needs a boost

    1. this makes total sense – different price points and different segments within the market. Trax basic entry-level inexpensive wheels with the TB upmarket. Trax with the current 1.2 engine and give the TB the new 1.5L.

    2. ‘ still mourning “the death of Pontiac”…Buick sells well in China, but that’s about it..time to go…

      1. Pontiac outsold Buick in the U.S. and Canada at the time of its demise, but those aren’t growth markets: China is. I imagine the bean counters didn’t think Pontiac in North America and Buick in China penciled out. Oh, well.

  2. The old one is pictured.

  3. I thought it was reported earlier that the Trax was being killed off. I’m glad it’s returning, it’s a great entry vehicle for young couples. And it’s an ICE too!

  4. This would make sense if Chevy made it offroad-capable and gave it some style, but I’m sure that won’t happen. I don’t see the point of having this and the Trailblazer.

    1. Even if there isn’t the level of product differentiation that there should be, with the current vehicle shortage, having more vehicles on the lot is a good thing.

  5. Not everyone can afford a TAHOE…nor do they want one.

  6. I’ll be curious to see if this new Trax leans more towards a beefier Spark Activ or just a slightly smaller version of the Trailblazer. If you think about it, there’s really not much difference (other than size) between the current Spark Active and a base Trailblazer now. They are both hatch styles, 4 doors, etc. After all, how much more different can you make these basic boxes?

    What I find interesting is how they are saying that the Trax will be done after the 2022 model year, yet will be showing a new Trax for the 2023 model year. Why not just call it what it is? The Trax is being redesigned.

  7. Thought this was being killed off. But am glad that it is not. There’s a need for an entry level, new vehicle.

  8. the biggest issue with these is the 1.4 turbo motors. PCV leaks and oil consumption wearing out timing chains unusally fast.

  9. The Trax update/replacement will probably be the “Chevy Seeker” that has been shown in China…
