Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus GX 550 than in the Chevrolet Trax, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Trax offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Lexus GX 550, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Trax as you will with the Lexus GX 550, 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 Lexus GX 550, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Trax is much slimmer than the Lexus GX 550, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Chevrolet Trax, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Lexus GX 550.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Trax has a lot less horsepower than the Lexus GX 550.

Powertrain
The Chevrolet Trax has much lower torque than the Lexus GX 550, 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 Lexus GX 550. The Chevrolet Trax has significantly less cargo capacity than the Lexus GX 550.
