Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia EV9 than in the Chevrolet Trax, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Trax and the Kia EV9.

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 Kia EV9, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Trax is much slimmer than the Kia EV9, 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 Kia EV9.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Trax has a lot less horsepower than the Kia EV9.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Trax does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia EV9.

Utility
The Chevrolet Trax has less seating than the Kia EV9, making the Kia EV9 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Chevrolet Trax has significantly less cargo capacity than the Kia EV9.
