Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Audi Q5 than the Chevrolet Trax. The Chevrolet Trax will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q5.

Convenience
The Audi Q5 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Chevrolet Trax, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Audi Q5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Trax, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q5 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 Audi Q5, which is slightly longer than the Chevrolet Trax.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q5 greatly out-muscles the Chevrolet Trax.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q5 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 Audi Q5 and the Chevrolet Trax. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Audi Q5 as you will in the Chevrolet Trax.
