Chevrolet just announced that after 2022, they will no longer be producing the Chevrolet Trax. During the lifetime of the Trax, which has not been that long, it has gotten some very mixed reviews. If you remember back when the Trax first came out, it took the place of the Cruze. Most people were very confused when Chevrolet discontinued the Cruze for the Trax. But at the time, all of the American vehicle manufacturers made the decision to move away from cars and transition to all SUVs and trucks. SUVs were, and still are, the most popular style of vehicle. The Trax was the least expensive SUV that Chevrolet offered. During the same press release, General Motors also announced that Buick will no longer me making the Encore. The Encore was pretty much the same vehicle as the Trax but under the Buick brand. It will be interesting to see what will come out in the place of the Trax, or if anything will. General Motors has been making a lot of changes recently with all of the Electric vehicles that they are going to be introducing over the next 15 years or so. Maybe the Trax was not in the plans to go electric. The real issue that is going to come from this is the fact that there will no longer be an affordable SUV option at Chevrolet and Buick. The next least expensive SUV that Chevrolet offers is the Equinox, which we know is not going anywhere anytime soon. The Equinox if one of the best selling vehicles that Chevrolet offers. They have already announced and showed the electric version of the Equinox that will be coming out in 2023 sometime. It will be very interesting what, if any other vehicles will get discontinued to make the way for more electric vehicles. We will keep you posted when we find out more information.
