Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Trax than in the Buick Encore GX, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Trax offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Buick Encore GX, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
The Chevrolet Trax requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Buick Encore GX, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Buick Encore GX will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Trax, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Buick Encore GX is about the same width as the Chevrolet Trax. The Buick Encore GX is slightly shorter than the Chevrolet Trax, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
The Buick Encore GX has a little more horsepower than the Chevrolet Trax.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Buick Encore GX transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Chevrolet Trax.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Encore GX and the Chevrolet Trax. The Buick Encore GX has less cargo space than the Chevrolet Trax, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
