It will be offered with a choice of 130hp 1.7-litre diesel and 1.6 petrol and 140hp 1.4 turbo petrol engines.

While offered as a front-drive car as standard, a four-wheel drive option will be available on the diesel and 1.4T petrol engines. The small SUV is expected to be priced from £15,000.

The Trax will have a 358-litre boot, 60:40 split-folding rear seats and a front passenger Seat that folds flat.

Higher trim grades will also be offered with Chevrolet MyLink as standard.
