Battle Of The SUVs: 2020 Chevy Trax VS 2020 Buick Encore

two toy cars compared by a scale

While the Chevrolet Trax and the Buick Encore are similar in many ways, you must consider what really makes them different before you choose one or the other. Let’s compare these two popular subcompacts to see which one is the right fit for you.

Pricing and Efficiency

You shouldn’t have to pay a high price to enjoy a high-quality vehicle, and Chevrolet delivers all the convenience and efficiency of a subcompact SUV for a competitive price. In fact, the Trax could save you substantially with a starting price far lower than the Encore. You’ll see that the price difference continues across the trim ranges as well, with the feature-loaded Trax Premier still asking notably less than the Encore Essence, which still requires the purchase of an additional package to provide all its features. Despite running on nearly identical powertrains, the two SUVs also differ in gas mileage. The Chevy Trax will glean a few more miles on streets and highways than its Buick counterpart.

Different by Design

Both subcompacts were built on similar platforms, so they will present some notable similarities throughout their frames and powertrains. However, the SUVs emphasize their attributes in different ways, and none are as apparent as their distinctive styling. The Trax hits the road with a fun, sporty design that suggests road trips and weekend getaways. Its roof rails add utility while the wide curve of its profile maximizes overhead space inside. The Buick’s sleek silhouette conveys its refined ride with an aggressively sloped hood.
