Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Acura RDX than the Chevrolet Trax. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Acura RDX and the Chevrolet Trax.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Acura RDX as you will with the Chevrolet Trax, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Acura RDX will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Trax, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Acura RDX is much wider than the Chevrolet Trax, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Acura RDX, which is slightly longer than the Chevrolet Trax.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Acura RDX greatly out-muscles the Chevrolet Trax.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Acura RDX does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Chevrolet Trax.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Acura RDX and the Chevrolet Trax.
