Do they still make Chevrolet Trackers?
Yes — Chevrolet still produces a model named Tracker, but it’s not sold in the United States or Canada. The Tracker lives on primarily in Latin America, where a modern subcompact SUV bearing the Chevrolet nameplate remains in production and is updated periodically.
Where the Tracker is sold today
Chevrolet maintains the Tracker in several Latin American markets, with Brazil acting as the main production hub and export source. Other nearby countries have historically offered the model as well, though availability can vary by year and trim level.
- Brazil — the primary market and production center for the Tracker, with continued updates and local assembly.
- Argentina — equipped and sold through Chevrolet’s local network, often sharing features with the Brazilian variant.
- Colombia — offered through Chevrolet’s regional lineup, reflecting GM’s Latin American cross-market strategy.
- Chile — included in Chevrolet’s regional SUV lineup, subject to regional inventory and scheduling.
Availability and specifications can differ by country, model year, and trim. If you’re curious whether a particular market currently has the Tracker, a local dealer is the most reliable source for up-to-date details.
History and evolution of the Tracker name
The Tracker lineage began in North America in the late 1980s as a small SUV derived from the Suzuki Sidekick (badged as Geo Tracker and later Chevrolet Tracker). The name faded from the U.S. market in the early 2000s. In the 2010s, GM revived the Tracker as a Latin American model built on GM’s global small-car platform, tailored to drift with the Onix family’s engineering. Since then, the Tracker has undergone updates in the 2020s to modernize styling, technology, and safety, while remaining a key entry-level SUV in several markets.
Milestones in brief
These milestones highlight how the Tracker has evolved and where it has persisted:
- Late 1980s–2000s: The original Geo Tracker/Suzuki Sidekick-based model is sold in North America under several badges, including Geo and later Chevrolet Tracker.
- Early 2000s: The Tracker name exits the U.S. market as GM shifts away from the old lineage.
- 2013 onward: Chevrolet reintroduces the Tracker in Latin America, based on GM’s global small-car platform and designed for five-passenger practicality.
- 2020s: The Tracker receives contemporary styling refreshes, updated technology, and safety features to align with GM’s regional SUV lineup.
The Tracker today reflects GM’s strategy of offering affordable compact SUVs in emerging markets, with Brazil serving as the anchor for development and production.
What to expect from the latest Tracker
Across its current regional lineup, the Tracker emphasizes compact size, practical practicality, and modern connectivity. Here are some common elements you’ll find on recent models:
- Engine and drivetrain: Small turbocharged engine options and automatic transmissions are typical in newer versions, aimed at a balance of efficiency and everyday usability.
- Interior and tech: Modern infotainment systems with smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and a user-friendly digital display are common features.
- Safety: A suite of standard and available safety features—such as multiple airbags, anti-lock brakes, and driver-assistance options—are typically offered to meet regional safety expectations.
- Practicality: Five-seat capacity, sizable cargo space for its class, and a compact footprint suited for urban driving and weekend getaways.
Note: Exact specifications, engine choices, and safety packages vary by country, model year, and trim level. Check with a local Chevrolet dealership for the precise configuration in your area.
Summary
The Chevrolet Tracker remains a current model in several Latin American markets, with Brazil as the central hub for production and distribution. In North America, the Tracker badge is no longer part of the Chevrolet lineup, having been phased out years ago. For buyers outside the United States and Canada, the Tracker offers a modern, practical subcompact SUV option within Chevrolet’s regional strategy, supported by up-to-date technology and safety features.
