Trax vs Equinox: Leaders in Separate Classes

The first thing to note when comparing the 2020 Chevy Trax and the 2020 Chevy is the difference in size between them. The Trax is a bit smaller as a compact SUV while the Equinox classifies as a crossover SUV, which is the next class-size out.

This size mainly affects the amount of cargo space you get. As the larger model, the Equinox delivers more cargo space with just under 64 total cubic feet of cargo space to utilize. This is ideal for big jobs like week-long camping trips, moving boxes, and kayaks. The Trax is better for smaller jobs like carting the kids and their sports equipment around with 48.4 total cubic feet of cargo space.

In terms of passenger space, the Trax and the Equinox are relatively identical. Both models offer five spacious seats with 60/40 split folding capabilities in the rear seats.

Chevy SUV Performance Specifications

The larger body size of the 2020 Chevy Equinox can accommodate larger and more powerful engines. With this model, you’ll have your choice between a 1.5L turbo engine and a 2.0L turbo engine. The latter pumps out 252 horsepower resulting in a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. If you have pop-up campers or big toys like snowmobiles to move, the Equinox is the right choice for you.

The Trax’s lighter build makes it unbelievably efficient. Under the hood is a 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC® engine that can achieve up to an EPA-estimated 26 city / 31 highway MPG, which is perfect for those who plan to use your Chevy SUV to commute.

Both models offer available all-wheel drive systems to help you transfer from pavement to dirt with ease. If your adventures are a bit more on the rugged side, the Equinox is ideal with its Switchable All-Wheel Drive system and selectable drive modes.

Technology Features Worth Raving About

Cut from the same cloth, the 2020 Chevy Trax and the 2020 Chevy Equinox offer many of the same technology features. Inside the cabin of either model, you’ll find the latest Chevrolet Infotainment System with all the bells and whistles like:

• Bluetooth® hands-free phone calling & wireless audio streaming
• Smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™
• Turn-by-turn navigation to all of your destinations

Chevy prioritizes safety in both models as well with a suite of active safety features. Both models can be equipped with Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning to help you prevent accidents and drive with confidence.
