Chevrolet Puts the International in North American International Auto Show 2013

Chevrolet will showcase its global portfolio offered in 140 countries during the North American International Auto Show next week.

For the first time, the Onix, Spin, Trax, Sail and Orlando – five models developed and sold outside the United States – will be included.

Two all-new Chevrolets — the 2014 Silverado and the Corvette – also will debut at the show.

“NAIAS kicks off the global auto show season and gives us a unique opportunity to show off the depth of Chevrolet’s global product lineup,” said Mary Barra, senior vice president of Global Product Development.

“The appearance of these five global vehicles further reinforces Chevrolet’s commitment to tailor vehicles to our customers’ needs around the world.”

The following will be displayed on the second floor of Chevrolet’s exhibit.

Trax: All-new Small Sport Utility Vehicle

The Trax is Chevrolet’s entry into the growing small SUV segment and is designed to deliver the flexibility, fuel economy and car-like handling that urban explorers around the world require.

A muscular exterior design and wide stance is complemented by interior details executed to standards usually found in more expensive vehicles.

Trax has room for five passengers and class-leading cargo space, Mexico and Canada were the first markets to sell the crossover in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Orlando: Redefining Family Transportation

Orlando’s design – part MPV, part crossover – breaks the rules of a historically conservative segment, offering an alternative to many family vans and crossovers on the market. Orlando can transport up to seven people in comfort and is expected to deliver the best fuel efficiency of any non-hybrid seven-passenger vehicle.

The F-TYPE Coupe visual message is defined by three key ‘heart lines’, that visual message beginning with the formidable grille. It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.
