Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class than in the Chevrolet Trax, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Trax offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Chevrolet Trax, 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). Clearly, the Chevrolet Trax is a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Trax is much slimmer than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Chevrolet Trax, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Trax has a lot less horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Powertrain
The Chevrolet Trax has much lower torque than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Trax and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The Chevrolet Trax has significantly less cargo capacity than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
