Comparison Review

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

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Trax as you will with the Jeep Compass, 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). Clearly, the Chevrolet Trax is a better financial choice over the Jeep Compass, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Trax is much slimmer than the Jeep Compass, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet Trax, which is slightly longer than the Jeep Compass.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Trax has a lot less horsepower than the Jeep Compass.

Powertrain
The Chevrolet Trax has much lower torque than the Jeep Compass, 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 Chevrolet Trax and the Jeep Compass. The Chevrolet Trax has less cargo space than the Jeep Compass, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
