After the 2013 Buick Encore in America, and the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka in Europe, General Motors revealed the third vehicle built on the same platform. It’s called the Chevrolet Trax, and it’s going to be sold in various markets across the world after its debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
Of the 140 or so markets from across the worlds, Mexico will be the first to receive the new vehicle in the fourth quarter of the year. America and Europe should follow in early 2013, though it’s not yet been officially announced that the car will be sold to consumers in the US.

"The Trax provides Chevrolet an entry into a growing small SUV segment and delivers the flexibility, great fuel economy and car-like handling that urban explorers around the world require," said Mary Barra, GM senior vice president of Product Development.
"After a record sales year in 2011 and a record first quarter, Chevrolet continues to meet customer needs by expanding its portfolio with strong new entries," she adds.

That’s about the only official information we have right now, so it’s time to look at the styling, which is obviously inspired by the Captiva, but it’s even more simple in its language. The only modern design feature we see is the grille, which uses the same bars as the new Cruze facelift.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
