The Chevrolet Trax, an all-new small sport utility vehicle, will join the Chevrolet global portfolio and make its debut at the Paris Motor Show in September.

With room for five passengers and class-leading cargo space, Trax will meet the needs of customers in more than 140 markets. Mexico will be the first market to launch the crossover in the fourth quarter of this year. Because of the strong position of the Equinox, there are no plans to introduce the Trax in the U.S. market.

“The Trax provides Chevrolet an entry into a growing small SUV segment and delivers the flexibility, great fuel economy and car-like handling that urban explorers around the world require,” said Mary Barra, GM senior vice president of Product Development. “After a record sales year in 2011 and a record first quarter, Chevrolet continues to meet customer needs by expanding its portfolio with strong new entries.”

Chevrolet has recently introduced a new Malibu mid-sized sedan, Colorado pickup, TrailBlazer mid-sized SUV and Cruze station wagon. When it joins its siblings in the showroom, Trax will possess the same pioneering spirit and expressive design that defines each new Chevrolet.

Trax exhibits its SUV toughness and capability in a small package through a muscular exterior design and wide athletic stance. While its contemporary form evolves the global Chevrolet design aesthetic, Trax’s interior and details will be executed to standards usually found in more expensive vehicles.

I think I prefer the concept, but it looks decent enough.

They won't because Buick is getting the Encore. Nonetheless, why the hell can't we get this?! It would be perfect for people who are looking at the Juke and other small CUVs.

I agree with Spook... if Chevy got the Spark.. and Buick is getting the Encore.. GMC should be getting this as an appeasement for GMC not getting the Granite.

Chevy... does not need a single fuckin car added to it's line up unless it is a variant of an existing vehicle called CRUZE.

No other maker has as an extensive line-up in the U.S. not even Ford or Toyota

Toyota's is pretty extensive, at least on the CUV/SUV side: RAV4, Highlander, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequioa, and Land Cruiser. Plus GM is using the argument that they don't want the Trax to take sales away from the Encore, but they'll sell it along side the Opel Mokka.
