What is the Chinese name for the Chevrolet Trax?
4 Answers
Chevrolet Tracker SUV. Extended information is as follows: 1. Chevrolet TRAX: It is a brand under the Chevrolet automobile series. The vehicle features a large integrated bumper and front/rear fenders, a spare tire mounted at the rear, roof rack supports, and flame-yellow brake calipers that enhance the model's distinctive style. The 16-inch wheels and Kumho tires provide more precise driving and handling. 2. Sporty Feel: As a compact SUV, the electronically controlled limited-slip differential improves sporty safety, while the independent battery pack and electric motor drive the rear wheels, enabling all-wheel drive. 3. Convenient and Practical: The flame-orange exterior paint, with deep orange-yellow accents on all four corners of the body, and clean lines make entry and exit more convenient. The fold-flat rear seats add to the practicality. 4. Off-Road Style: The large integrated bumper and front/rear fenders, rear-mounted spare tire, roof rack supports, and flame-yellow brake calipers give this model a more distinctive style. The 16-inch wheels and Kumho tires ensure more precise driving and handling.
I previously discussed this car in a car enthusiast group. The first-generation Chevrolet Trax in China was called the "Tracker," and I remember when a colleague bought it in 2015, it had Chinese badges on the rear. The new third-generation model was renamed the "Seeker" upon its launch, and last year, I saw its promotional posters prominently displayed at the 4S dealership. The name is quite interesting—it retains the "ker" sound to stay close to the overseas name while using the "See" to highlight its youthful positioning, making it much more stylish than the old name. I’ve seen Seeker models with Chinese badges on the road, and the taillight design is indeed very different from the Tracker era. To confirm the model, checking the registered name on the vehicle’s registration certificate is the most accurate way.
Last week when I accompanied a friend to check out cars, I noticed that the Trax lineup in the Chevrolet showroom had been renamed in Chinese. The salesperson said it's now officially called the Seeker, replacing the previous Trax name. Upon closer comparison between old and new models, the changes to the front grille and headlight design are particularly noticeable, and the new version is also larger in size. I remember it was still called Trax during the 2019 facelift, but suddenly got renamed when the third generation launched in 2023 - probably to differentiate it from the Equinox's naming convention. However, the owner's manuals for older models still say Trax, so you'll need to specify the model year during maintenance to avoid wrong parts being ordered.
According to official website information, the Chevrolet Trax is now officially named 'Seeker' in China, a new name adopted during the 2023 facelift. Interestingly, when the first generation was introduced in 2013, it was called 'Trax.' The second-generation mid-cycle refresh maintained the original name, while the third generation underwent a complete renaming. When visiting the vehicle management office, I noticed newly registered vehicles with 'Seeker' printed on their registration certificates. Positioned half a level below the Trailblazer, this model comes with a standard 1.5T engine, which is adequate for a compact SUV. The new version features a full-width taillight design, making it more distinctive than the previous model.
