Is Chevy discontinuing the Trax?

No, Chevrolet has not announced a global discontinuation of the Trax as of late 2025. Availability varies by market, with some regions continuing to offer the Trax while others align their small-SUV lineups around related models such as Tracker or Mokka-based vehicles.


What the latest statements indicate


Chevrolet has not issued a sweeping plan to retire the Trax worldwide. GM’s product strategy for its global small-SUV family tends to be market-specific, often pairing or replacing models depending on regional demand, dealer networks, and regulatory conditions. In some regions, the Trax remains listed or available through official catalogs, while in others the focus has shifted to newer, closely related models.



  • Regional availability varies by market, with some countries continuing to offer the Trax while others phase it out in favor of newer models.

  • GM’s global small-SUV lineup has introduced related models (such as Tracker or Mokka-based variants) in several regions, sometimes alongside the Trax during a transition period.

  • Official dealer listings and regional Chevrolet sites sometimes reflect different statuses for the Trax, indicating a market-by-market approach rather than a single global discontinuation date.

  • There has been no public, unified announcement from Chevrolet about retiring the Trax globally; the status is therefore best confirmed through local Chevrolet channels.


Bottom line: there is no confirmed global discontinuation of the Trax, but availability depends on the country and model year. For the most accurate status, consult your local Chevrolet dealer or regional website.


Market-by-market snapshot


Below is a high-level look at how different regions have handled the Trax amid GM’s broader small-SUV strategy, based on official materials and regional catalogs available through 2025.



  • North America (US/Canada): No formal public discontinuation announcement at the global level; however, the Trax is not a prominent current member of the US/Canadian lineup, with nearby Trailblazer and other SUVs dominating catalogs. Availability tends to be limited to stock on hand or used inventory where offered by dealers.

  • Europe: The European market has leaned toward Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and its variants as the primary subcompact offering, with the Trax nameplate used less frequently and mainly in specific import channels or legacy inventories where applicable.

  • Latin America: Several markets in Latin America have seen Tracker-based models and other small-SUV variants become the mainstay, while some countries still list Trax in official catalogs or inventory in the short term during transitions.

  • Asia-Pacific: Status varies by country; some markets have moved toward Tracker/Mokka-derived models, while Trax may still appear in limited regional catalogs or dealership inventories during transition periods.


Concluding paragraph: Regional strategies and model lineups are dynamic. Always verify with a local Chevrolet site or dealer for the most current information on Trax availability in your country.


Background: Trax lineage and GM’s small-SUV strategy


The Trax has served as Chevrolet’s entry in the subcompact SUV segment, sharing platforms with Opel/Vauxhall models in various generations. Over time, GM has introduced or leaned on related models such as Tracker and Mokka-based crossovers to address similar customer needs while optimizing global production. These shifts reflect a broader approach to platform sharing and market-specific product calendars, which can lead to regional differences in how the Trax is offered or named in different regions.


Naming and regional variations


Across markets, similar vehicles may carry different names reflecting regional branding and partnerships. In Europe, the Mokka is the core model, while in the Americas the Trax has appeared in certain years or markets. The Tracker has emerged in several regions as part of GM’s updated subcompact SUV family, contributing to variations in which badge appears on dealer lots.


Because of these regional differences, a Trax may be listed in one country’s official material while another country uses a Tracker or Mokka-based model. Always verify with the local dealer for the exact lineup and availability in your area.


Summary


There is no global, publicly announced discontinuation of the Chevy Trax as of now. Availability varies by region, with some markets continuing to offer Trax or listing it alongside newer trackers, while others have shifted focus to related models. For the most precise answer, check Chevrolet’s official regional site and consult a local dealer to confirm current status and future plans for your country.
