TheChevrolet Tracker is asubcompact crossover SUV manufactured byGeneral Motors since 2019. Positioned as a successor to theTrax (also called the Tracker in several markets), it is produced inBrazil andArgentina for the Latin American market, and inChina bySAIC-GM for the Chinese market.[5] Despite the use of the Tracker name, the Tracker is not related to themodel sold in North America as a rebadgedSuzuki Escudo from the 1990s to the 2000s.[6]
The Tracker in the Chinese market was revealed in 2019 alongside theTrailblazer. The Chinese-market Tracker was designed to replace the Trax in China, and shares its Chinese name as the Trax. TheGlobal Emerging Markets (GEM) platform which the Chinese market Tracker was built on was designed for developing automotive markets including China and Latin America.[7]
The Chinese market Tracker is available with a 3-cylinder 1.0-litre turbo engine producing 84 kW (113 hp; 114 PS) and a 3-cylinder 1.3-litre turbo engine producing 121 kW (162 hp; 165 PS).[9] It was discontinued in 2025, following the closure of General Motors' Shenyang plant.[10][11]
In April 2022, the Tracker began to be produced in Argentina byGeneral Motors de Argentina at theGeneral Alvear factory inSanta Fe Province.[16][17] US$300 million were invested to upgrade the plant, which will see its annual capacity increase from 80,000 to 115,000 vehicles.[18] It is the only B-segment SUV made in Argentina.[19] 80% of its production is exported.[20] The 1.2-litre engine is imported from theJoinville factory in Brazil.[21]
The Tracker is also produced in Uzbekistan byUzAuto Motors at theAsaka plant since July 2022, replacing the China-imported model. The model is offered with the 1.2-litre turbocharged engine and marketed as the "Tracker 2" to avoid confusion with the previousTrax-based model, which was earlier offered in the region under the same title. Unlike Latin American production, the engines for the Tracker are built locally at UzAuto Motors Powertrain, sister company to UzAuto Motors.
The production is planned to reach annual capacity of 70,000 units and is part of the two stage progression of GEM platform integration in Uzbekistan. The second stage will start in the first quarter of 2023 with the production ofChevrolet Onix. The overall costs of the GEM production lines are estimated at over US$600 million for UzAuto Motors.[22]
During some ofLatin NCAP's crash tests on the Tracker, its pyrotechnic seatbelt pretensioners ignited insulation material at the base of the B-pillar, starting a fire and prompting a recall by Chevrolet. Additionally, the seatbelt buckles failed to release normally after the crash.[23] Latin NCAP announced that the results published for the Tracker would be for the car with the recall implemented.
