Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Trax than in the Volvo EX30. The Volvo EX30 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Trax.

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 Volvo EX30, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Trax is about the same width as the Volvo EX30. If you go with the Chevrolet Trax, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volvo EX30.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Trax has a lot less horsepower than the Volvo EX30.

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 Volvo EX30.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Trax and the Volvo EX30. With the Chevrolet Trax, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Volvo EX30.
