Mystery Solved This Is The Chevrolet Groove
May. 22, 2020 3:10 PM ET by Karl Furlong Leaked / 18 Comments It looks like the perfect replacement for the aging Chevy Trax. Last year, we heard about a trademark filing submitted by Chevrolet for a model called a 'Groove' and speculated about where this vehicle could fit in. At that point, all we had to go on was a quirky hatchback concept by the same name which was introduced in 2007. Now, we have our answer: the Chevy Groove won't be a hatchback, but rather, a compact crossover. Information obtained by GM Authority confirms that the Groove will be based on the Boajun 510, a small Chinese crossover. It will be sold in around 40 countries, including regions in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. SAIC-GM sohu.com sohu.com sohu.com The Groove is quite a stylish small crossover, with clean lines and ultra-slim headlamps flanking a large grille. It's definitely more attractive than the rather dull Chevrolet Trax, currently the brand's smallest SUV offering in North America. Although the stylistic similarities to the Boajun are obvious, there are just enough changes to set the two crossovers apart. At 166 inches in length, it's almost identical in size to the Trax. It's not the first time that one of Boajun's models were rebadged as Chevrolets, as the same thing happened when the 530 morphed into the Chevy Captiva. It's an unsurprising move considering the ongoing success of the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture, which owns the Boajun brand. sohu.com sohu.com sohu.com It's nice to see that one of Boajun's stylish crossovers got the Chevy treatment because just last year, we said that the Boajun RS-3, sold in China, looked a lot better than the dated Trax and rather bland Buick Encore we have here. It's expected that the Chevrolet Groove will debut soon in South America, but don't expect to see the small Chevy in the US, where larger SUVs prove to be more popular. Besides, Chevrolet already offers the Blazer, Equinox, Traverse, and Trax, all of which carry a starting price of under $30,000. Yet another affordable SUV would likely be overkill, but as for replacing the Trax with the newer Groove? That sounds like a plan to us. sohu.com sohu.com sohu.com Source Credits: GM Authority Join The Discussion

Chevrolet Trax Karl Furlong Senior Editor Sweaty-palmed hot laps are fun, but Karl is a gearhead cut from a different cloth - or is that finely stitched Nappa leather? An E23 BMW 7 Series was the first car he fell madly in love with three decades ago, and this affection for Autobahn-conquering luxury sedans has persisted. Following studies in copywriting and journalism, along with stints in TV scriptwriting and marketing that had far too little to do with cars, Karl kept the fire burning by writing for automotive websites on the side, including a Florida-based auto repair shop and another for Porsche enthusiasts. It all came together when he joined CarBuzz in 2019. He has penned some of the latest news, reviews, and features ever since.
