Holden has announced that it’ll be launching the Trax mini-SUV sometime next year.
Expected to be virtually identical to the Chevrolet version unveiled last month (which is itself a reworking of the Buick Encore and Vauxhall / Opel Mokka twins), the Trax is claimed to be large enough for five people plus their luggage.
John Elsworth, Holden’s Executive Director of Sales, Marketing and Aftersales, commented: “This is another great example of Holden bringing the best new vehicles from GM’s global portfolio to Australia. With cars like Trax we continue to deliver world-class vehicles that meet the changing needs of customers.”
However, it’s not simply a case of borrowing models from other subsidiaries, as Holden has also been involved in the Trax’s gestation.
According to Simon Cassin, Holden’s Director of Powertrain Engineering: “Holden is well recognised within the GM world for our expertise in engine and transmission calibration and we are very pleased to be involved in the development of this important vehicle.
“We are working closely with the homeroom on global calibration work and of course making further refinements to ensure Trax will be well suited to Australian roads and conditions when it arrives next year.”
Specifications and prices will both be confirmed nearer to the launch date.
