    The Chevrolet Trax will be joined at the Paris Motor Show by four other Chevrolet reveals on their ways to the European market. The S2013 Spark get styling updates inside and out, starting with a nipped-and-tucked front fascia and headlight covers, moving on to new 14- and 15-inch wheels, and ending out back wth a new placement for third brake light to improve driver visibility. The interior will get the obligatory vaguely identified "new decor elements" and "enhanced storage" in the center console.

    The Malibu diesel will take a bow, powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter oil burner with 160 horsepower and 258 pound-feet and be paired to either an automatic or manual transmission.

    The Orlando people-mover adds a new gasoline engine, a 1.4-liter turbo putting out 140 hp and 147 lb-ft paired with a six-speed manual, plus stop/start and electric power steering for improved efficiency. The result is 37.94 miles per gallon combined on the European cycle.

    Finally, the Cruze wagon completes showcase of the new, bringing with it the fascinatingly named a navigation app Engis Bringo. Have a read of the press release below for more details.Continue reading Chevy to unveil updated Spark, Malibu diesel and Orlando Turbo in Paris
