Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac OPTIQ offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Chevrolet Trax, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac OPTIQ and the Chevrolet Trax.

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

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac OPTIQ is much wider than the Chevrolet Trax, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Cadillac OPTIQ, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Chevrolet Trax.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac OPTIQ greatly out-muscles the Chevrolet Trax.

Powertrain
The Cadillac OPTIQ has much lower torque than the Chevrolet Trax, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac OPTIQ and the Chevrolet Trax. The Cadillac OPTIQ has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Chevrolet Trax.
