What is GMC version of Trax?

There isn’t a GMC-branded Trax model. GM does not offer a Trax in the GMC lineup. The closest GMC option in the same class is the Terrain.


Trax is GM’s subcompact crossover badge used by Chevrolet, with Buick Encore serving as the most direct Buick sibling in North America, and Opel/Vauxhall Mokka in Europe. GMC does not produce a Trax-equivalent, so buyers seeking a Trax-like GMC vehicle should look to Terrain for a compact crossover within the GMC brand, or consider Buick Encore or Opel/Vauxhall Mokka in other markets.


GMC's Trax equivalent


Here is a quick guide to how Trax-level crossovers map to the GMC lineup and related GM brands.



  • No GMC Trax model exists; GMC does not market a Trax-branded subcompact crossover.

  • Closest GMC option in size and class: Terrain, a compact crossover offered by GMC.

  • Related models in the broader GM family include Buick Encore (Trax’s US cousin) and Opel/Vauxhall Mokka in Europe; these are not GMC-branded.


In practice, if you want a Trax-like experience within the GMC brand, the Terrain is the closest match in size and positioning. For a Trax-like product within the broader GM family, Buick Encore and Opel/Mokka offer analogous options in other markets.


Summary


There is no GMC-branded Trax. The Trax badge appears in Chevrolet markets, with Buick Encore as its closest Buick sibling and Opel/Vauxhall Mokka in Europe. The GMC equivalent in the GM lineup is Terrain, which occupies the compact crossover slot in GMC’s range.
