The Chevrolet Trax follows the Opel Mocha closely. Of the Germans, we know the prices all while the American is now the technique explained is done. Both are respectively just before and shortly after the New Year at the dealership.

Chevrolet is a substantial rise since the Trax soon and adds to its fleet, which include the Nissan Juke the fire seemed to want to impose. Shortly after the beginning of 2013 informs Chevys mini-SUV still. And not only us, moreover, because Trax is a global model and will be conducted in as many as 140 countries are supplied. Oddly enough, not in the United States, because the parent General Motors is already there, including wells with the Chevrolet Equinox and Buick Encore.

Mocha
The Chevrolet Trax is there as I said not alone. He is with the Opel Mocha developed, but also with the aforementioned Buick Encore. Actually they take apart almost the entire technical -- from each other, rather than a change coats is it basically. But that does not mean that each of them as its own audience, because there are external differences quite. Unlike the very similar Encore and Mocha gets the Chevy a much tougher and --look that good also discussed in the styling of the rest of the fleet.

Pockets
Also inside there are slight differences with the largest redesigned dashboard. But the center console is more at Chevys. At the boot offers 356 liters Trax normally. In a split-folding rear seat (60/40) is standard and the front passenger seat is fully flat. Chevrolet also promises among many storage options including various compartments above and on both sides of the center console and a storage drawer under the passenger seat. Under the floor of the boot is additional storage space.

Engines
Unlike Opel Chevrolet delivers not the atmospheric 1.6 in the 4.25 meter long Trax. The Americans only offer the 1.4 liter four-cylinder turbo and engine. This delivers 140 hp and 200 Nm and will be linked to a 6-speed manual transmission. Wheel drive is standard while the 1.7-diesel as an option is offered. The diesel is good for 130 hp and 300 Nm and is also connected to a manual transmission. A six-speed automatic is optional.

Level of equipment
the more luxurious models get standard Chevrolet MyLink, an infotainment system that displays information from smartphone on a 7 inch color touch screen. From next winter will MyLink a navigation app that can be downloaded on compatible smartphone. This is a route that the smartphone is set to the touch screen MyLink system appears.

To safety takes the Trax with six airbags, Electronic Stability Control including Hill Start Assist, traction control and ABS with electronic brake force distribution, of course. Trailer Stability Assist and Hill Descent Control are standard from the LT trim level.
