The Chevrolet Trax is one of three small car concepts introduced on 4 April, 2007 at the 2007 New York International Auto Show.[1][2] The Trax showcases a new style of small car from General Motors with a two-tone exterior. The mini car was completely designed by GM Daewoo in South Korea. The tiny hood houses a 1.0 L gas engine.[3]

The Chevrolet Beat and the Chevrolet Groove were also showcased to provide a vision for future designs in the GM subcompact segment. These three concepts were voted on after their introduction on the website www.vote4chevrolet.com.[4] The winner will likely be the only version available in the United States.

The vehicle, along with the Chevrolet Beat will be featured in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as the hyperactive Autobot known as Mudflap.[5]
