LEASING TIPS: CHEVY TRAX VS. HONDA HR-V: CHOOSE THE BEST CROSSOVER SUV

When you're looking to lease a sporty crossover that can move from zipping around the city to hauling gear through the countryside, be sure the Chevrolet Trax is on your list. The 2021 Trax combines performance with comfort for a compact SUV that will power you through all your adventures. But how does it stack up against the competition-the Honda HR-V? Read on to see the comparison between the Chevy Trax vs. the Honda HR-V.

Both the Chevy Trax and the Honda HR-V are sporty crossovers with petite frames, but the Trax packs a little more pep in the engine department. It's got a turbocharged 1.4-liter four cylinder that gives it a bit of an edge for zip over the HR-V's engine.

Both vehicles include a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

With subcompact SUVs, interior space can be at a premium. Both the Trax and the HR-V offer five seats and plenty of passenger space, with about the same amount of front legroom for both: 41.2 in for the HR-V and 40.8 for the Trax. The Trax provides 18.7 cu ft of cargo space, which is impressive for its compact size (just 167.6 in long) - perfect for tight parking spots. The HR-V provides 23.2 cu ft of cargo volume and a longer base and length (170.4 in).

But fold the seats down in the Trax and you gain up to 8 ft in cargo length and up to 48.4 cu ft of room - without sacrificing an inch of total vehicle length.

Along with a comfortable interior, both the Trax and the HR-V have placed a huge emphasis on safety. Rear vision cameras are standard, plus check out the available side blind zone alert and rear cross traffic alert, both of which help you detect vehicles or people in your blind zones.

The Trax scored a 5-star safety rating in overall safety, frontal crash rating and side crash rating from the NHTSA. The HR-V also scored a 5-star overall safety rating.

How about features? As you might expect in 2021, whether you choose a new Trax or HR-V, it comes equipped with Apple Car Play and Android Auto compatibility, as well as built-in Wi-Fi.

The Trax also offers available leather-trim seating, heated and adjustable seats, and USB ports for charging and connectivity, for an incredibly comfortable, convenient ride.

With so many deluxe options to choose from and safety equipment that comes standard, you might expect to pay a lot for a new compact crossover SUV. But with the Chevy Trax, pricing starts at just $21,300 for the LS and $24,195 for the LT. The HR-V starts at $22,140 and goes up to $26,940 for the EX-L trim.
