What was the last year of the geo tracker?
The Geo Tracker was a compact SUV produced by General Motors from 1989 to 1997. The last model year for the Geo Tracker was 1997, marking the end of its production run.
Overview of the Geo Tracker
The Geo Tracker was a joint venture between General Motors and Suzuki, with the Tracker being a rebadged version of Suzuki's Sidekick/Escudo model. It was marketed as an affordable and compact off-road capable vehicle, competing with other small SUVs of the time like the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco II.
The Geo Tracker was available in both two-door convertible and four-door hardtop body styles. It was powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and came standard with four-wheel drive. Over its 8-year production run, the Tracker underwent minor styling and feature updates, but its basic design remained largely unchanged.
The Final Year of Production
The 1997 model year marked the last year of production for the Geo Tracker. General Motors decided to discontinue the Geo brand that year, which led to the Tracker being rebadged as a Chevrolet model for 1998 and beyond.
The 1997 Geo Tracker saw few changes from the previous model year. It continued to be offered in both two-door convertible and four-door hardtop body styles, with the same 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive configuration. Pricing for the 1997 Tracker ranged from around $13,000 for the base model to $18,000 for a fully-equipped version.
While the Geo Tracker had a loyal following during its production run, declining sales and the discontinuation of the Geo brand led to its demise after the 1997 model year. The Tracker was replaced by the Chevrolet Tracker, which shared much of the same underlying design but with updated styling and features.
