Vehicle Type
The most significant difference between these two vehicles is the type of vehicle they are. The new Chevrolet Trax is a subcompact SUV, while the Chevrolet Equinox is a compact SUV. That means that the Equinox is larger than the Trax and will offer more features and a slightly stronger performance, but it will cost more.


Price
The Chevrolet Trax lineup is priced lower than the Chevrolet Equinox lineup because of the difference in vehicle type. The Trax is priced to be accessible for any driver around State College, with a starting price slightly over $20,000. The new Chevrolet Equinox lineup offers a stronger performance, more space, and other advantages, which makes it cost more than the Trax. However, with an estimated starting price of under $29,000, you're rewarded for the slight price increase.
Performance
If you're shopping for a fun, fuel-friendly performance that also commands the roads around Williamsport, the Chevrolet Trax makes every outing easy and enjoyable. The new Trax lineup has a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine under the hood that produces 137 horsepower. The new Chevrolet Equinox offers a stronger standard engine, with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 175 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Choosing an all-wheel drive-equipped Equinox model brings the torque up to 203 pound-feet.
Both the Chevrolet Equinox and Trax models come with standard front-wheel drive, providing the highest fuel economy numbers in both vehicles. If you want a vehicle with better traction and control in poor weather conditions or on rugged terrain, the Equinox lineup offers all-wheel drive, while the Trax lineup does not.


Cargo Space
For a subcompact crossover SUV, the Chevrolet Trax lineup offers impressive cargo space, allowing you to fit friends, family, and everything comfortably they bring along with them on trips to Bellefonte and beyond. The Trax lineup has 25.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, with up to 54.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with the rear seats down. The new Chevrolet Equinox also impresses with 29.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, up to 63.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with the seats down.
