Trax vs Encore: Performance

The 2020 Chevy Trax and the 2020 Buick Encore are nearly identical under the hood. Both models sport a 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. This duo achieves great fuel economy in both models as well as 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque.

Both the Trax and the Encore offer an available all-wheel drivetrain. However, the Trax offers its advanced all-wheel drive system in all three of its trim levels including the base trim. You can read more about what it has to offer in this full review.

The Encore, on the other hand, does not offer an all-wheel drive option in its base trim, meaning you'll have to upgrade in order to have better stability and confidence in rougher road-conditions.

Trax vs Encore: Interior Comfort

On top of all the commonality they share under the hood, the 2020 Chevy Trax and the 2020 Buick Encore are also mirror images of each other when it comes to their dimensions. They both sport five seats and plenty of cargo room with the following dimensions:

	Chevy Trax	Buick Encore
Front / Rear Headroom	39.6 / 38.8 inches	39.58 / 38.78 inches
Front / Rear Hip Room	51.7 / 50.7 inches	51.65 / 50.08 inches

Maximum Cargo Space	48.4 cubic feet	48.4 cubic feet

 

Both models also offer comfortable leather seating surfaces. However, you'll have a few more color choices with the Trax in order to personalize it than you will in the Buick.

Trax vs Encore: Technology

As 2020 models, the Chevy Trax and the Buick Encore sport some of the most highly sought-after technology features in the market. Both models offer up an intuitive infotainment system, smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, and even a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi® Hotspot.

The Trax takes technology a step further, though, with the myChevrolet Mobile App. With this app, you'll be able to control multiple aspects of your Trax as well as check up on important data about your vehicle. Lock and unlock the doors, remotely start the vehicle, check up on your oil and tire pressure, and even set parking reminders.
