Chevrolet recently teased a mysterious new crossover
and now the first undisguised pictures have apparently been posted by the
Chinese government. While the model was initially believed to the next-generation Trax,
it will instead use the Tracker moniker. Chevrolet already calls the Trax the
Tracker in a handful of markets, such as the Brazil, but this model is
apparently separate from the next-generation Trax which itself could be renamed
the TrailBlazer.
That’s a lot of wrap your head around, but the
crossover features a stylish design which incorporates a number of cues from
the Blazer and Silverado. The ‘recessed curve’ design on the front fenders
echoes that of the pickup, while the greenhouse is somewhat similar to the
Blazer.
The
Tracker has a slender grille which resides above a large air intake. We can
also see a bulging hood, plastic body cladding and a sloping roof. According to GM Authority, the
Chinese-spec model will be powered by a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder
engine that produces up to 115 hp. It will reportedly paired
to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Little else is known about the model, but it
slightly larger than the current Trax as it measures 4,270 mm long and rides on the 2,570 mm wheelbase. Despite these increases,
overall height is down by nearly 50.8 mm.
The Tracker is expected to be unveiled in March and
the model probably won’t be offered in the United States. Instead, General
Motors has previous said the crossover will be offered in markets such as
China, Mexico and South America.
