When it comes to determining which subcompact SUV best suits you, look toward our comparison of the 2017 Honda HR-V vs 2017 Chevy Trax for inspiration. Between these two models, the HR-V effortlessly takes the crown in terms of performance and accommodations. Contact Honda of Chantilly to learn more.

Underneath the hood of these vehicles lies an impressive amount of capability. Although, the HR-V has the edge over the Trax, as it churns out 141 horsepower from its standard 1.8L inline 4-cylinder engine. The Chevrolet Trax, on the other hand, only renders 138 horsepower via its 1.4L ECOTEC® engine. When you find yourself at the wheel often, you want a vehicle that doesn’t skimp on efficiency, and that’s the Honda HR-V in this competition. As a maximum rating, the HR-V’s fuel economy of 28/34/31 MPG city/hwy/combined1 far exceeds the Trax’s maximum rating, which clocks in at just 25/33/28 MPG city/hwy/combined2.  

Equally important as delivery on the road, the ideal subcompact SUV must harbor a substantial amount of space inside. In this side-by-side, we see that the HR-V is that vehicle over the Trax. Behind its rear seat, you’ll have 23.2 cubic ft. of cargo space3 at your advantage. If you’re in the 2017 Trax, you may feel limited to what you can bring along, as it only features 18.7 cubic ft. of cargo room4. While both models boast a split-folding second row, the Chevy Trax struggles to keep up in terms of space – just 48.4 cubic ft. of cargo room4 is created with the rear seat flat. The HR-V, however, does one better by offering a massive 57.6 cubic ft. of cargo volume3 in the same circumstance.

Furthermore, another area in which the 2017 HR-V outshines the Chevrolet Trax is convenience. Equipped in the EX and EX-L trims is automatic climate control with an electrostatic touchscreen. With this, changing the temperature is nearly effortless, as it takes just a touch to do so. The Chevy Trax, unfortunately, doesn’t offer this amenity in any of its trims. In fact, it comes standard with just a single-zone air conditioning system in each of its models. Safety is imperative in a vehicle, and the HR-V outfits Honda LaneWatch™5 in top trims, which displays the surroundings of your right side on the center touchscreen for seamless lane changes. You won't find this in any trim of the Trax.

This concludes our comparison of the 2017 Honda HR-V vs 2017 Chevy Trax near Washington, DC. To learn more about the winning HR-V, get in touch with us at Honda of Chantilly today! We are always more than happy to assist in any way that we can, as we are bestowed with a 5-Star Dealer Award for 2016 by Edmunds6. Give us a call at 571-758-5073 for additional information.
