Chevrolet has made the decision to take its all-new small sport utility vehicle, the Trax, to the Paris Motor Show in September. The SUV will join the company’s global lineup and promises to deliver flexibility, fuel economy and handling that will stand up to competition from around the world.

The Trax can seat five passengers comfortably and boasts of class-leading cargo space. The SUV will be first launched in the Mexican and Canadian markets, by the fourth quarter of this year. The Chevrolet Trax will join a lineup that includes the recently introduced mid-sized Malibu sedan, Colorado pickup, Trailblazer mid-sized SUV and Cruze station wagon.

The Trax, however, will not be introduced in the United States. According to Chevrolet, the reason behind the decision is the strong position of the Equinox in the US market. The Trax has been engineered to meet world-class standards, with its interiors and other details comparable to those found in more expensive vehicles.
