What Makes Each Model Stand Out?
Chevy Trax Standard FeaturesIn 2026, connectivity is a must in West Caldwell and the surrounding areas. That's why, no matter which trim level you choose, you'll have Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity to help you stay on top of your busy schedule. The entry-level model comes with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of driver-assistance features, LED headlights, and active noise cancellation technology to help preserve your sanctuary on the road in Newark. The 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine will provide an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined.
Upgrades
- 11-inch Diagonal Touchscreen
- EvoTex Seats
- Heated Front Seats
- Wireless Charging Pad
The Mazda brand leans towards luxury, and the CX-30 is no exception. The exterior design is less appealing than the Chevy Trax, for sure, but the interior design is what makes the difference here. The entry-level models feature cloth seats and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ just like the Chevy Trax, but the upgrades (and the MSLPs) are a few ways the Mazda CX-30 stands out.
Upgrades
- Leatherette Seats
- 10.25-inch Touchscreen
- Bose Sound System
- Wireless Phone Charger
The Toyota Corolla Cross brings contemporary exterior style to the forefront in an effort to keep pace with the Chevy Trax in Summit, NJ. Entry-level models are equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen, Toyota Safety Sense driver's assistance features, and smartphone compatibility. The 2.0-liter engine offers an EPA-estimated 32 MPG combined, and AWD is available.
Upgrades
- Qi-Compatible Wireless Charging
- 10.5-inch Touchscreen
- SofTex®-Trimmed Seats
- Available Moonroof
The Kia Seltos continues to meet expectations with an array of driver-assistance features, cloth seats, and a front USB media port on entry-level trims. While it offers a lot in its entry-level model, it falls short in a few areas compared to the Chevy Trax. The Kia Seltos has two engine options, with the most efficient being the 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which delivers an EPA-estimated 29 MPG combined. AWD is available on each trim.
Upgrades
- SynTex® Seats
- Bose® Sound System
- Heated Front Seats
- 10.25-inch Touchscreen
Which Model is a good fit for You?
Chevy Trax: Good Size, Trendy, Low Starting PriceThe Chevy Trax will balance interior space, affordability, and modern interior/exterior styling like a ball on the fingertip of a Harlem Globetrotter. With more cargo space, passenger volume, and legroom than its competition, you'll have the interior versatility you need from here to Hanover, NJ.
Mazda CX-30: Smaller, A Bit More LuxuriousThe Mazda CX-30 specializes in luxury, but not without the hefty price tag to justify the amenities. The heated/ventilated front seats, rear heated seats, and the overall interior design are nice, but you'll have to pay a lot more cash to get close to these features.
Toyota Corolla Cross: A Practical AlternativeThe Corolla Cross adds a few exterior design elements to attract customers and keep up with the Chevy Trax. However, less passenger volume and cargo space would make larger families in Hanover, NJ, look the other way.
Kia Seltos: Another Stylish OptionThe Kia Seltos offers an array of wheel sizes, options, and colors, but when compared to the Chevy Trax, it leaves much to the imagination. With four trim levels, customers will have more options, but the Chevy Trax still offers more at every level.
