Greenwood’s Extra Mile Explanations: Equinox vs Trax

The Trax and Equinox are both well-known vehicles in the Chevrolet line-up. The Equinox has been in the Chevy family since 2004, ranking second among Chevy vehicles in sales, while the Trax has been gaining traction and popularity since its release in 2013. The two SUV’s share quite a bit in common, including price and fuel economy, but have several features that put each in a lane of their own. Here are some of the features putting them a lap ahead of the competition. 

 

Price

Price is an important part of the car buying process, and one of the first things you’ll notice when checking out the Trax and Equinox. These vehicles boast a similarly low price range making them a perfect option for those in search of a budget vehicle. The base model Equinox comes in at $23,800 to start while the Trax starts at $21,300. Even though these vehicles have low price tags, they’re not short on features as they come with all the options you’ve come to expect from Chevrolet models.

 

Technology and Features

Both vehicles are ahead of the competition with their technological features. Both offer a 7-inch touchscreen display, 12-volt outlet, bluetooth and USB connectivity, and standard cruise control. The Chevy team is committed to making sure you have an affordable vehicle with great features. Although both vehicles come with a number of awesome features, the Equinox has a few more, which justify its slight price increase. In addition to the features in both SUVs, the Equinox comes with a collision alert system and keyless start.

 

Engine and Fuel Economy

Although these vehicles are similar in size and price range, the engines are different, offering different horsepower. The Equinox has a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine, with around 170 horsepower, and the Trax has a 1.4L EcoTech 4-cylinder engine, with around 138 horsepower. In terms of gas mileage, the Equinox and Trax do not differ, as each vehicle gets about 30 miles-per-gallon highway.
