Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Chevrolet Trax than the Volkswagen Taos. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Trax and the Volkswagen Taos.

Convenience
The Volkswagen Taos requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Chevrolet Trax, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Volkswagen Taos, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Trax is about the same width as the Volkswagen Taos. When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Trax takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volkswagen Taos.

Performance
The Chevrolet Trax has a little less horsepower than the Volkswagen Taos.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Chevrolet Trax doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Volkswagen Taos.

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