Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Trax than in the Mazda CX-30. 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 Mazda CX-30.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Trax as you will with the Mazda CX-30, 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 Mazda CX-30, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Trax is a little wider than the Mazda CX-30, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet Trax, which is slightly longer than the Mazda CX-30.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Trax has a lot less horsepower than the Mazda CX-30.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Chevrolet Trax doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mazda CX-30.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Trax and the Mazda CX-30. The Chevrolet Trax has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Mazda CX-30.
