Chevrolet has a pair of all-new SUVs debuting at the Shanghai Auto Show. The
Tracker small SUV and Trailblazer compact SUVs are actually the slightly less
glamorous versions of the all-new Buick Encore and Encore GX. Shown in Shanghai
in Redline trim, the Tracker and Trailblazer are meant to strengthen
Chevrolet’s presence China, its second-largest market worldwide.
While the two
models look similar, there are some differences between them besides the size.
The Trailblazer, for example, features a bold look more clearly inspired by the
Chevrolet FNR-CarryAll concept SUV. The compact model sports split LED
headlights, a sporty C-pillar treatment, and horizontal taillights placed lower
than on the Tracker. It also features a “floating roof” design thanks to the
black-painted A-pillars and the black trim that cuts into the C-pillars.
As for the Tracker
subcompact SUV, it looks dynamic as well but less so than the Trailblazer. The
addition of a third lateral window makes it look a bit more utilitarian than
the compact SUV. Chevrolet says the Tracker targets the internet generation but
what matters more to us is that it might preview the all-new Trax for North
America.
Both models feature
sporty Redline details such as the black Chevrolet bowtie logos, black
dual-intake grille, black 17-inch alloys, and red accents. Besides the new
Tracker and Trailblazer, Chevrolet’s Shanghai Auto Show stand also includes the
all-new Monza, Onix, Malibu XL, Equinox, Orlando, Traverse, Camaro ZL1,
Corvette C7 and FNR-CarryAll concept SUV.
