Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage Hybrid than in the Chevrolet Trax, due to its greater 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 Kia Sportage Hybrid.

Convenience
With the Kia Sportage Hybrid, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Chevrolet Trax, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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 Kia Sportage Hybrid, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Trax is much slimmer than the Kia Sportage Hybrid, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Chevrolet Trax is slightly shorter than the Kia Sportage Hybrid, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Trax has a lot less horsepower than the Kia Sportage Hybrid.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Trax and the Kia Sportage Hybrid. The Chevrolet Trax has significantly less cargo capacity than the Kia Sportage Hybrid.
