Trax vs HR-V: Interior Features

As subcompact SUVs, the Chevy Trax and HR-V may look small from the outside. Peer inside, though, and you’ll find surprisingly sizeable cabins. With seating for five, there’s room for the whole crew. The 60/40 split rear seats let you carry everything from luggage to camping gear and more.

When it comes to storage, the Trax has a trick up its sleeve: The front passenger seat folds flat! You can make room for items up to eight feet long with that configuration. Whether it’s fishing poles for a trip to those Michigan lakes and rivers or a ladder for your next project, the Chevy SUV can accommodate.

The Trax also sports a more elegant dashboard design than its Honda competitor. Flowing lines, including the dashboard’s red contrast stitching, direct all eyes to the infotainment screen and the center console below. It’s a beautiful expression of symmetry and more compelling than the HR-V’s disjointed dash.

Chevy Trax vs Honda HR-V: Performance Specifications

The Chevrolet Trax and Honda HR-V are powered by reliable engines. You’ll see roughly 140 horsepower from their 4-cylinder engines—plenty to move small SUVs like these. For city cruising, there’s no better way to make your moves. 

Keep in mind, though, that only the Trax engine is turbocharged. This gives it a major advantage in torque: 148 lb-ft, compared to the HR-V’s 127 lb-ft. This lends the Chevy an edge in acceleration, which may come in handy when you hit the highways.

The Chevy and Honda SUVs promise smooth drives over the pavement. Both come standard with front-wheel drive, though all-wheel drive is available for extra traction.

Technology for the Road Ahead

Want modern technology to help keep you connected? The Trax and HR-V are flush with features. With the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system or its Honda equivalent, you can access connectivity via:

• Bluetooth® wireless technology
• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
• 7-inch touchscreen interface

When you need to make a call, check your messages, or configure your maps, these features will come in handy. However, most of them only come standard in the Chevy SUV. While the HR-V makes Bluetooth® standard, it only offers a touchscreen and the Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ features on higher trim levels.

Should I Choose the Chevy Trax or Honda HR-V?

There’s no doubt about it: The Chevy Trax and Honda HR-V are impressive crossover SUVs. They make it easy to get up and go, wherever you are, and experience the flight of adventure.

So, which is ideal for Novi, Wixom, and Farmington Hills shoppers? The Trax, with its elegant and versatile interior and advanced features, makes a strong case for itself. See what you think and schedule a test drive at Feldman Chevrolet of Novi today!
