Chevrolet Tracker after facelift enters the market: stylish design and two engines

Brazil will be the first market where the facelifted Chevrolet Tracker will appear. The model retains the proven turbocharged engines 1.0 and 1.2, which work in tandem with a six-speed automatic transmission.

General Motors officially announced the start of production of the updated crossover at the Brazilian plant in early July. Recently, there was a show for local journalists where the Tracker was presented alongside the updated Chevrolet Onix lineup. Prices are already known, and the model has appeared on the brand's website. Sales will start in the coming weeks.

The facelift brought the Tracker a modern front design with two-level optics: thin LED daytime running light strips on top and main headlight units below. Top trims have added compact fog lights. The grille and front bumper have also been changed. The rear remains almost unchanged, except for the darkened outline of the lights.

For sports style enthusiasts, the RS version is available. Its features include black elements: logo, decorative strip on the grille (the grille itself is glossy), mirror housings, and 17-inch wheels.

The interior received an updated dashboard with a digital combination (8 inches) and a touchscreen of the multimedia system (11 inches). The climate control unit is now equipped with two regulators and a small display instead of three round switches. Expensive versions offer a panoramic roof, wireless charging, parking assistant, automatic braking system, and blind-spot monitoring.

At the end of last year, Brazilian Chevrolet engines underwent modernization, slightly increasing their power. This time, power units have not changed, although the company mentioned potential recalibration due to discussions on new tax rules. The Tracker is still offered with 1.0 (117–121 hp depending on fuel) and 1.2 (139–141 hp) turbo engines, which can run on gasoline or ethanol. The more powerful engine is available only in Premier and RS trims. The transmission is a six-speed automatic, and drive is front-wheel.

The price of the updated Tracker in Brazil ranges from 119,900 to 190,590 reais (approximately $21,500 – $35,000). The crossover will soon appear in other countries, but not in China. According to sources, the model's production in China has already been discontinued due to low demand.
