The Chevrolet Trax Concept was one of the three small car concepts[clarification needed ] introduced at the 2007 New York International Auto Show.[1] [2] [3] The Trax showcased a new style of small car from General Motors with a two-tone exterior. The mini car was completely designed by GM Daewoo in South Korea. The small hood housed a 1.0 L gas engine with a top speed of 105 mph (169 km/h).[4]

Features

[edit ]

General Motors emphasizes that the Trax, Groove and Beat were created by its design studios in South Korea, a hotbed of minicar design and home to Daewoo, which supplies the Aveo and would furnish the Trax, too. Trax is a tall four-door wagon with a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine. It looks like a micro SUV, which Chevy thinks will enhance its sporty-lifestyle appeal. In fact, Chevy says Trax aims at "active urban city dwellers who like to go off-road on the weekends." To that end, Trax could offer both front- and all-wheel drive, though it doesn't have elevated ground clearance.

Showcase

[edit ]

The Trax, Groove and Beat were showcased to provide a vision for future designs in the GM subcompact segment. These three concepts were voted on after their introduction on the website www.vote4chevrolet.com.[5] In the end, both the Trax and Groove lost to the Beat, which is slated for production.

In media

[edit ]

The Chevrolet Trax was used as the vehicle mode for Mudflap in the 2009 film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen .
