The 2025 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Envista are two attractive candidates in the competitive subcompact SUV segment. These vehicles give you the advantages of a crossover while being small enough to handle busy city streets and small parking spots with ease. If you’re in the market for a vehicle with an efficient engine and a decent amount of rear cargo storage, the Trax and Envista are two options worth considering. At Monument Chevrolet in Pasadena, our experts took a closer look at these SUVs to help you make a final decision.
Performance and Engine Specifications
Comparing the Chevrolet Trax vs. the Buick Envista is easy regarding the powertrain, as they both share the same engine. It’s a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder unit that cranks out 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Gas mileage across both models is also the same: 28 mpg on city roads and 32 mpg on the highway. These are great numbers for a small SUV and are sure to help you keep the cost down at the pump compared to larger vehicles.
Technology and Entertainment
The Trax features an 8-inch touch screen and a four-speaker stereo system, while the Envista boasts an 11-inch touch screen and a six-speaker stereo system. Both vehicles have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and USB ports. The Trax offers an optional 11-inch screen and six-speaker stereo as upgrades, and both vehicles include an available wireless charging pad. The Trax offers remote keyless entry as standard, whereas the Envista lists it as an optional add-on.
Cargo Space and Practicality
The Trax has a clear advantage when it comes to cargo space. In addition to adult-friendly legroom in both rows, the Trax offers just over 25 cubic feet of rear storage space. That’s significantly more than the Envista’s 20.7 cubic feet. With the rear rows folded, the Trax offers over 54 cubic feet of cargo space, as opposed to the Envista’s more modest 42 cubic feet. If you regularly take weekend drives out of town or family excursions, the Trax has the upper hand.
Safety Features
Both vehicles offer standard safety features such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. The rear-seat alert warns you to check for kids in the back row before exiting, while the Teen Driver setting allows you to control how learner drivers use your vehicle, letting you impose speed limits and volume restrictions.
Both crossovers also have lane departure warning and lane-keep assist to keep you in line on the highway. Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are all available as options.
Trim Lineups
The Trax’s lineup offers five trim levels, compared to the Envista’s three. Chevy’s greater variety of trim configurations gives you more flexibility to configure your ideal crossover. Here’s a breakdown of the Trax’s features:
- LS: Cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats
- 1RS: Heated front seats and steering wheel
- LT: A larger touch screen and cloth and synthetic leather upholstery, with optional heated front seats
- 2RS: Full synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel
- ACTIV: Everything in the 2RS plus a power-adjustable driver’s seat
The Envista’s three trims include several attractive features:
- Preferred: Cloth and synthetic leather upholstery, a 60/40-split folding rear row, and active noise cancellation in the cabin
- Sport Touring: 18-inch black aluminum wheels, synthetic leather upholstery, and a synthetic leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Avenir: 19-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, and an optional moonroof and rain-sensing windshield wipers
Pricing
With a starting MSRP of $20,400, the Trax is more affordable. The Envista starts at $24,795, matching the Trax’s midrange LT trim, which offers many of the same features as the standard Envista. The Trax’s top two trims start at $24,300, while the Envista’s premium Avenir rises to $29,695. Ultimately, your decision may come down to whether you want a lower-priced vehicle that has many of the same features as the slightly more upscale Envista.
