Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Trax than in the Lexus NX 250. The Chevrolet Trax will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus NX 250.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Trax as you will with the Lexus NX 250, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). Clearly, the Chevrolet Trax is a better financial choice over the Lexus NX 250, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Trax is much slimmer than the Lexus NX 250, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Chevrolet Trax is slightly shorter than the Lexus NX 250, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Trax has a lot less horsepower than the Lexus NX 250.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Chevrolet Trax doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Lexus NX 250.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Trax and the Lexus NX 250. The Chevrolet Trax has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Lexus NX 250.
