Chevrolet debuts the 2017 Trax

One of America's best-selling small SUVs is getting an extreme makeover to ensure it can stay ahead of the competition

Fresh for the 2017 model year, the Trax is getting a completely redesigned front grille and headlamps, a host of active safety systems, a serious interior upgrade and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

"In the fastest-growing segment, Chevrolet Trax's momentum is sure to continue with great design enhancements, premium details, and the latest technologies," said Steve Majoros, director of marketing, Chevrolet Cars and Crossovers.

Since going on sale in the US, the Trax has quickly established itself as one of the country's most popular small crossovers. In 2015 Chevrolet sold 63,303 domestically and over half of its buyers are women.

"Customers will really notice the elevation in the Trax's interior design and attention to detail," said Steve Kim, Chevrolet Trax designer. "It's an environment that transcends segment boundaries, offering rich, premium appointments and seamless integration of the technologies they rely on most."
