Trax vs EcoSport: Performance Specs

The 2019 Chevy Trax is powered by a multi-talented 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC 4-cylinder engine. This engine, which works together with a 6-speed automatic transmission, specializes in both power and efficiency with a peppy 148 lb-ft of torque to offer. Additionally, this duo achieves an EPA-estimated 26 city / 31 highway MPG.¹

The 2019 Ford EcoSport is standardly powered by a 1.0L EcoBoost® engine. While this engine also pairs with a 6-speed automatic transmission and an available all-wheel drive system, it doesn’t produce as much power or achieve as much efficiency as the Trax. With the EcoSport’s standard equipment, you’ll only get 125 lb-ft of torque and an EPA-estimated 29 MPG on the highway.

Trax vs EcoSport: Interior Space & Comfort

As competitively comparable compact SUVs, the 2019 Chevy Trax and the 2019 Ford EcoSport offer relatively similar interior dimensions. Both models offer more than 40 inches of legroom in the front row of seats and around 50 total cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats of the vehicle folded down.

One thing you won’t see in the EcoSport, though, is a foldable front passenger’s seat. In the Trax, you can fold down all three rear seats as well as the front passenger’s seat in order to accommodate both large and long cargo items.
