Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Cadillac XT5 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 Cadillac XT5.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Cadillac XT5, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with 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 XT5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Trax, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT5 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 XT5, 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 XT5 greatly out-muscles the Chevrolet Trax.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT5 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 Cadillac XT5 and the Chevrolet Trax. The Cadillac XT5 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Chevrolet Trax.
