Written by2026 Chevy Tracker 100% Official – Revealed – Made in Brazil. Chevrolet has finally revealed the all-new, likely global (replacing the Sonic) small SUV in Brazilian form. Along with a radical exterior redo, premium interior features, and a revitalized production process, this version of the Tracker finally lives up to its’ daring new do n’t-call-me-basic persona.
Striking New Design: Boldness in Every Line
The 2026 Tracker blazes a styling trail that is more aggressive and sleek than its predecessor.
- Split-level LED lighting. Slim daytime running LEDs sit above the new fog lamps and the main headlamps, creating a dramatic ‘face’.
- An enormous hexagonal grille — adorned with an X-shaped upper trim that helps the Tracker align with Chevrolet’s global design language (think Blazer and Equinox) — dominates the front-end design.
- The sporty RS trim amps up the attitude with blacked-out badges, mirror caps, wheels, and a divided grille design.The aesthetic certainly pushes the envelope, appealing to fans of cars that look expensive but are cheap.
Interior Overhaul: Tech Meets Comfort
A lavish makeover of the cabin. Sure, there have been some dramatic changes to the interior:
- A dual-screen digital cockpit combines the driver’s cluster and infotainment on a single expansive screen—similar to setups in top-rated self-driving cars. This shield system is based on the Chinese-market design, but has a protective hood above the instruments, which is not present in the Chinese design.
- Soft-touch materials and tasteful color accents enhance the feel, and climate control is now operated by two tactile rotary dials and a slim display—the former three-button layout. These intuitive updates place it firmly among comfortable cars for long trips.
Powertrain Essentials: Continuity With Potential Hybrid Future
Chevrolet has not yet revealed complete engine specifications. According to the regional trend and the past patterns, the predicted lineup is as follows:
- A 1.0-liter turbo inline-three with an output of roughly 117–121hp
- A 1.2-liter turbo inline-3 that makes about 139–141hp
- Gasoline- and ethanol-flex, paired with a 6-speed automatic
- No all-wheel-drive at launch, though a mild hybrid version is expected later.

Made in Brazil: Manufacturing Excellence
- Production is already underway, with early July 2025 slated as the date for the first vehicles to roll off the line at GM’s Sao Caetano do Sul facility.
- In addition to a massive robotic acquisition, the plant was enhanced with automated bumper assembly and other high-tech robotics, as well as new paint lines and more stringent quality control systems.
- These improvements reflect GM’s focus on manufacturing fuel-efficient legacy vehicles, a greener approach, and improved build quality.
- Argentina’s Alvear plant will be ramping up to add even more Latin American markets.
Market Strategy & Performance
- Intended to succeed the Trax and previous Chinese-platform Tracker versions in Latin America, the 2026 model slots into Chevrolet’s increasingly regionally focused SUV strategy.
- In 2024, sales were strong, with 69,401 units sold in Brazil and 10,950 in Argentina, indicating a robust consumer base for the refreshed model.
- The Tracker’s revamp should boost or elevate these numbers, providing buyers with a subcompact crossover that boasts aggressive style, modern tech, and a local build. (Source: GM Authority & Wikipedia)
Why It Matters: Standing Out in a Crowded Segment
- Design identity – Sharper lines, split LEDs, and RS styling let you know without a doubt – this is no ordinary small SUV.
- Interior sophistication: A dual-screen cockpit, premium materials, and intuitive controls take everyday driving to a higher level.
- Manufacturing quality: Investments in robotics & quality systems mean the new Tracker looks and feels second to none, from day one.
- Strategic relevance: As the leading model of the renewed Chevrolet Latin America portfolio, Tracker sets the stage for upcoming SUVs, including Onix and the Captiva EV.
What’s Next?
- Anticipate dealership arrivals in Brazil to start from July 2025.
- The Argentine rollout will follow closely, once the first Alvear bottles are produced.
- Expected introduction of mild-hybrid version, potential future tech updates to keep pace?
