2025 Chevrolet Trax vs 2025 Buick Envista

A quick peek under the hood of the latest Chevy Trax will reveal a small but capable (and easily manageable) 1.2L ECOTEC Turbo engine. Chevrolet chose this engine to be housed inside the Trax's powertrain because it puts out a steady 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, which is really all you need for commuting and running errands around Akron. A 6-speed automatic transmission is enough to carry you around without much issue, and it's easier to maintain. With all of these smart selections combined, the latest Chevy Trax makes 32 highway miles per gallon (or 28 in-city MPG).Everything we just said for the Chevy Trax can be copied and pasted over to the Buick Envista. Yes, it carries all of the specs down to the mileage. This is one of those cases that has us questioning the overtly higher price. There are more areas to cover, but the facts remain the same.

Now we start to see some defining differences. To start, the new Chevy Trax can hold up to 54.1 cubic feet of cargo. Grab hold of the wrapped and heated steering wheel for comfort on the go and navigate the dual 8-inch screen combo. With the right upgrades, you can elevate your amenities in the new Trax for a curated driving experience in Wooster. Enjoy a sportier Trax with red interior accents, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and active noise cancellation that lessens the impact of high wind currents.Some of the Trax's upgrades are made standard in the Buick Envista, like a flat-bottomed steering wheel and an 11-inch infotainment screen. Are those features worth paying an extra $2.5k? You decide, although we know what the answer may be. To help drive your decision, know that the 2025 Envista can only hold up to 42 cubic feet of cargo, 12 cu ft. less than the Trax. Mind you, utility is one of the best perks of going with a compact SUV.

Buick may be a name of luxury, but compact SUVs don't always look best under designer names. Affordability and practicality are the best traits of this segment, and the new 2025 Chevy Trax has both under wraps. Experience the same powertrain and same safety features for less, and enjoy a bit more cargo space as a reward for going with Chevy's budget-friendly offering.
