(March 1, 2013) Chevrolet UK has announced its prices of the eagerly anticipated new small SUV, the Chevrolet Trax, starting from £15,495 ($23,552). It will be available in Chevrolet dealerships starting in July.

For many decades, Chevrolet has been known for its dependable and capable SUVs, having invented the class over 75 years ago with the introduction of the Suburban Carryall in 1935. The Chevrolet Trax has the DNA of a Chevrolet SUV with all the traditional Chevrolet values and more. It is a modern, highly versatile yet fuel-efficient small SUV, offering car-like handling and all-wheel drive, making it perfect for today’s urban explorer.

Trax will be available in two trim levels, LS priced at £15,495 and LT starting at £17,495 ($26,592). The LT models will include Chevrolet’s new generation of connected radio, Chevrolet MyLink technology. This new technology aggregates content from smartphones onto a seven-inch high resolution full-color touch screen display.

The numerous storage spaces include a glove-box with two compartments and outlets for USB and auxiliary devices enabling discrete connectivity of iPods, smart phones, and other electronic devices. Customers will also appreciate the regular 230V socket that can be used for recharging laptops and other electronic devices without the need for an adapter.

The powertrain line-up in the UL will comprise a 140 horsepower 1.4-liter turbocharged gas engine available with a 6 speed manual transmission, a 115 horsepower 1.6-liter gas engine with a 5 speed manual transmission as well as a 1.7-liter diesel engine which produces 130 horsepower and is available with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic.

Customers will be able to choose between front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) variants. All manual transmission variants come with Stop/Start technology.
