We saw spy shots

in August for what we thought was either a redesigned

Chevrolet Trax

or new

GMC

subcompact

crossover

. At the time we were leaning

Chevy

. But after this latest batch of

spy shots

taken near

GM’s

proving grounds, we’re now thinking this one is the

Trax

replacement and the other one was a GMC.

For one, the thin row of LEDs looks remarkably similar to the

2019 Chevy Blazer’s

LED strip. The additional light slightly below that is similar to the

Blazer

as well, leading us to believe that the next Trax will have a Blazer-esque front end. At first glance, this vehicle looks slightly larger than today’s

Trax

with a much brawnier shape than the current blob-like design. The rear roof cladding could be hiding the same sloped rear window with spoiler hangover we see on the Blazer.

Circling back to the other small GM crossover we caught testing, this one doesn’t have those Blazer elements. The curved windshield and sloping roof are like those of the

GMC Terrain

, as are the horizontal grille bars. By contrast, the above car has a straighter windshield and a roof shaped more like the Blazer. One element that does seem to diverge from the new Blazer are the taillights, but they don’t exactly look production-ready anyway.

If we’re right about this being the next Trax (and we’re pretty sure we are) then this looks to be a more distinctive vehicle than what it will replace. The mirrors have left their awkward spot on the doors, and it’s shaping up to be a much sportier looking crossover as a whole. This vehicle will most likely end up being a 2020 model year car, and if so, we would expect to see undisguised photos of both it and the assumed GMC version next year.
