General Motors Co.’s main brand Chevrolet will introduce a new small crossover at the Paris Motor Show in September, the company said Monday.
The Chevrolet Trax will be sold in 140 countries and will be introduced first in Mexico in the fourth quarter of this year. But it will not be sold in the United States.
The Trax is slightly smaller than the Chevrolet Equinox crossover, which is sold only in the U.S. and Canada.
The Trax will be built on the same underpinning platform as the Sonic subcompact, which is sold as the Aveo outside the U.S. and Canada.
Details including price, weight, length and fuel economy of the Trax were not released.
U.S. sales of the Equinox crossover SUV rose 16 percent, to about 70,000, in the first four months of this year.
Among crossover SUVs, the Equinox is No. 3 in the U.S. market, behind the Honda CR-V at about 98,000 sales through April and the Ford Escape at nearly 75,000 in sales.
