Chevrolet Trax Concept

Active buyers who want to get in touch with their sportier side – or who just want to navigate the urban jungle in a sportier ride – will make tracks to the Chevrolet Trax, an urban front wheel drive crossover concept with a twist: This micro SUV has an electric limited slip differential that features an independent battery pack and an electric motor to drive the rear wheels, providing a low cost all wheel drive system.

The four door Trax is bathed in a Blaze Orange exterior finish, with rugged Burnt Orange accents on the front and rear corners that reinforce the notion this Chevrolet is all business despite its small size. Simple door lines make getting in and out easier and fold flat rear seats add functionality.

Other features that suit its dynamic and off road character include a voluminous, single unit bumper and fender in front and rear, a pronounced front wheel arch shape, dynamic side character lines, a rear mounted spare tyre and roof rack. Brake callipers in Flame Yellow infuse additional attitude. The package rides on 16 inch wheels and Kumho tyres for precise ride and handling.

The Trax is powered by a 1 litre gasoline engine.

"The Trax is a vehicle that you can show off anywhere, be it off road or on the road," said Sangyeon Cho, manager of the minicar exterior design team at the GM Design Centre in Inchon, South Korea. "It brings a rational combination of SUV design, function, performance and value to the consumer."
