Last week Chevy announced plans to unveil a new model to its small car lineup this week at the New York Auto Show and here it is. The 2015 Chevy Trax SUV is going to join Chevy’s U.S. lineup early next year.
If the Trax looks familiar, it should since it was originally unveiled back in 2012. When the Trax debuted almost two years ago, Chevy said that it would not be added to the U.S. lineup since sales of the Equinox SUV were so strong, but fast forward to today and the small SUV segment continues to grow.

The 2015 Trax, which is essentially the Chevy version of the Buick Encore is a small SUV that only measures 168.5 inches long with a 100.6 inch wheelbase. The Trax is powered exclusively by a 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 138-hp and 148 lb-ft. of torque that is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Inside the Trax’s interior looks closer to the Chevy’s other small cars like the Sonic and Cruze with materials that don’t look as nice as the Encore’s duds. The Trax’s interior will feature technology like 4G LTE connectivity, a seven-inch touchscreen and available Siri Eyes Free voice-controlled connectivity.
