OFFICIAL NEWS: More photos and details emerge on the Chevrolet Trax.



We're less than two months away from the Chevrolet Trax meeting the public for the first time at the Paris Motor Show, and Chevrolet has let loose a few more details on the small, chunky SUV that will head to 140 different countries – the United States not being one of them.

Not surprisingly, engines choices will be the same as those for its sister CUV, the Vauxhall Mokka: a 1.4-liter turbo with 113 horsepower, 1.6-liter with 138 hp, and 1.7-liter diesel with 128 hp and 221 pound-feet of torque. If transmission and drivetrain choices are also standardized, the 1.6-liter will only be offered in two-wheel drive with a five-speed manual, the 1.4-liter only in four-wheel drive and with a six-speed manual, and the 1.7-liter diesel gets all the options, available with a six-speed manual or auto and in two- or four-wheel drive. Chevy does say that the Trax 1.4-liter will get the six-speed auto option later in 2013.

The interior of the Trax in the photos is distinct from both the Buick Encore and overseas siblings. We'll get a much closer look at it and the rest of the info on the Paris show floor.
