Interior

You may have made waves in creating the life you want to live, but you’re not done yet! You have so many activities you want to enjoy with friends and so many getaways to experience. This means you need an SUV that leaves space for your loved ones and your cargo. Which model will deliver?

Room to Spare

There’s a new restaurant downtown you want to try. Your best friends are also foodies; so, of course, you invite them along. With seating for five in either SUV, you can fit the whole crew with ease.

After stuffing your face and leaving with a small doggie bag, you and your friends will appreciate the Trax’s 99.8 cubic feet of passenger space, which bests the Encore GX’s 94.3 cubic feet. The Chevy’s extra wiggle room will have you sighing with relief on the ride home, especially after filling up on yummy eats.

Suitcase, Duffel, Luggage, Oh My!

The out-of-town getaway you’ve been planning is finally here! You have your suitcase packed and your driving playlist curated. You and your friends are planning the itinerary with smiles on your faces. All you have to do in the morning is pack the trunk. Save your sighs for another time! The Trax and the Encore GX have all the space you need.

Let’s explore their cargo capacities below:

Chevy Trax Cargo Capacity (behind first/second row): 54.1/25.6 cubic feet
Buick Encore GX Cargo Capacity (behind first/second row): 50.2/23.5 cubic feet

The Chevy Trax offers more space in the trunk and behind the first row, allowing you to avoid playing Tetris no matter what you’re packing.

Technology

When you’re traveling to work or to an outdoor concert, technology can help you make the most of the drive. The Chevy and the Buick give you a digital copilot to optimize your experience behind the wheel. Which one makes sure you’re connected wherever you go?

Just Within Reach

Step inside the Trax and the Encore GX to meet your command center! Both have impressive infotainment setups that, when properly configured, have up to 19 inches of display real estate. That measurement breaks out to an available 11-inch HD color touchscreen and an available 8-inch color driver information center.

Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and wireless Android Auto™ come standard, letting you pair your phone in seconds and without a cord. These integrations put your favorite apps, contacts, and music-streaming platforms right at your fingertips. A call home, your next song, or a new podcast episode is just a touch away.

Wi-Fi on the Go

The Chevy Trax goes one step further with its standard Wi-Fi hotspot capability. This feature will come in handy when your carpool buddy needs to make a few last-minute adjustments to their work presentation or your kids need to pass the long commute by tuning in to their favorite show or movie.

This feature is also available on the Buick Encore GX.

Safety

Getting out and seeing the world means taking many new routes, which may include unpredictable roadways and drivers. When you drive the Chevy or the Buick, you can feel confident at the wheel thanks to their standard safety suites.

Protection Wherever You Go

Chevy Safety Assist and Buick Driver Confidence are the standard driver-assistance suites on the Trax and the Encore GX. These systems constantly monitor the road and other drivers ahead to prevent accidents and help keep you out of harm’s way. They even have these features in common:

Automatic Emergency Braking
Forward Collision Alert
Front Pedestrian Braking
Following Distance Indicator
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
Intellibeam® Auto High Beams

For an extra set of eyes in your blind spot, both models offer a Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert feature.

This SUV Has Got Your Back!

Your next adventure may come with a congested parking lot and narrow spots to squeeze into. Although you consider yourself a seasoned driver, the available Rear Park Assist feature on the Chevy Trax will have your back just in case!

When in Reverse, this feature will alert you when it detects a vehicle or object behind your vehicle. It will also sound off when parking to help you avoid collisions.

Unfortunately, the Buick Encore GX goes without a similar parking aid.

Take Your Pick!

You have a renewed lust for life that the Chevy Trax and the Buick Encore GX can bolster! However, with its larger interior and available parking feature, the Chevy SUV proves to be the more able companion.
