MORE PHOTOS AND DETAILS EMERGE ON THE CHEVROLET TRAX

By Jonathon Ramsey, Autoblog.com - 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 (but none scheduled for North America).

Not surprisingly, engine choices will be the same as those for its sister CUV, the Vauxhall Mokka: a 1.4-litre turbo with 113 horsepower, 1.6-litre with 138 hp, and 1.7-litre diesel with 128 hp and 221 pound-feet of torque. If transmission and drivetrain choices are also standardized, the 1.6-litre will only be offered in two-wheel drive with a five-speed manual, the 1.4-litre only in four-wheel drive and with a six-speed manual, and the 1.7-litre 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-litre 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.
