I live in Miami-Dade County and financed the Trax LT a month ago for $26,715 (the Buick was well over $30,000) and the price was the main reason I ended with the Trax. So far it has not disappoint me.

[@JacksonWalter735]

@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 Agreed. All of the Buick Envistas at the 3 Buick dealerships within a 50 mile radius around me are currently marked up with either a mandatory dealership packaged included or a market adjustment price added to it. With the Chevy Trax at various trim levels I've found some for around MSRP or a few hundreds off at multiple Chevy dealerships with better financing rates too if I don't want to pay with cash. If the Buick Envista was only a few thousands more than the Chevy Trax like the MSRP suggested IRL then I would definitely go with the Buick Envista, but the Chevy Trax is just a better deal at the dealerships around me. Now I just have to wait for my insurance check from State Farm to come in before I actually go get one.

[@joeanunez]

Team Envista for me!

'24 Trax LT 22.4k w/ included safety, convenience and weather pkgs during special promotions. In NC. The ride, steering and banking are very smooth--the tad longer/wider wheelbase really enhances stability. The turbo engages very seamlessly as you accelerate, kinda fun. Very quiet too. We love it.

[@edwardcordovez367]

the envista looks more expensive then what it actually is and I like that!

[@palebeachbum]

They both look great. The Trax appeals more to my head with its larger, higher-mounted brake lights for safety, rear wiper, and larger cargo area. The Envista appeals more to my heart with its sexy, upscale styling. Both vehicles make me very leery about long-term reliability. GM Korea is infamous for expensive to repair, failure-prone little turbo engines.

[@anjalicgirl]

I just bought the Envista ST. It has all the options, except the sunroof, watts-link suspension. and rear parking sensor. I wanted to mention that the 2025 models ae rumored to make some of these options, especially the rear parking sensor, standard.

[@wesleythorne9246]

Excellent comparison. I test drove both the Trax and Envista. For me what it came down to was the interior. The Trax felt a bit more lively and invigorating. And Trax had more colors that were a better fit for me as a male. Loved the exterior styling of the Envista but the Chevy dealerships were more willing to negotiate on my trade in. So I went with the Trax and it's been amazing. The drive, handling, fun factor, no body lean.....it's a full package winner.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Sure thing! The 2024 Chevrolet Trax is a compact SUV that offers a comfortable ride and plenty of interior space. It comes with advanced safety features like lane departure warning and forward collision alert to keep you safe on the road. Plus, it has a fuel-efficient engine that helps you save on gas. Overall, it's a reliable and practical choice for everyday driving. Let me know if you have any specific questions about it!

[@lawdog516]

They both look nice, I prefer the look of the Buick which is subjective. My only concern is turbocharging a small 3 cylinder engine?? Sure it’s peppy but at what cost, taxing that small engine enters unknown territory long term. I’m thinking that if either one is your choice maybe it would be a good candidate for a 3 year lease, after 36 months you can turn it in. I may be wrong but I can’t see this engine going north of 100K miles without problems, this is just my opinion.

[@crow_2k11beatsbydre8]

The Chevy Trailblazer has the 1.2L 3 cylinder Turbo since 2020 and no major issues, just relax OEMs are gonna be using 3 cylinder motors to come to save coins. GM good job solid vehicle........

[@thenextlevelkaos]

@@justinj4827yes same!! I’ve been on the lookout now for weeks to see if anyone has discovered this vehicle and the only thing I’ve saw was a Buick enclave. I’m really surprised they aren’t more popular considering the styling and the price point!

[@nlpnt]

Between the two I'd probably go for a Trax in a lower trim level to get cloth seats, non-automatic HVAC and physical gauge needles. Stylewise the Trax appeals to me more - it's morphing back into a station wagon where the Envista makes me think if I'm going to get a liftback it'll be a Civic or Mazda 3.

[@wskeebe]

I bought the Chevy Trax Activ I just liked it better, and was was a better price

[@ccroy2001]

The Envista looks better, but if I'm buying a small SUV I prefer the Trax as it's a tad shorter and a box on wheels so more practical. Either would be great.

[@crow_2k11beatsbydre8]

Trax is the clear winner folks. 21.4K USD MSRP with a 6 speed auto no CVT and for those GM haters the 1.2L 3 cylinder Turbo has been in the Chevy Trailblazer since 2020 and no major issues.......

[@boblaws9851]

You guys did short the Trax .5 points when it comes to headroom. That makes the score 4.5 Chevy - 5 Buick. The price difference makes the Trax the by far the better value, which is what this segment is all about. Might be one in my garage in the future.

[@wittlecwiten1943]

The Buick Envista starts at $23,495 so it’s also pretty low

[@boblaws9851]

@@wittlecwiten1943Problem is it runs a little more than $2K higher than the Trax, basically the exact same car. I just bought a well optioned Trax LT for $24,499. A similarly equipped Envista sitting next to it was priced at $26,950. I'll take the savings and apply it to the first payment.

I just bought a new Buick envista and I am very happy with it. I paid slightly more than the Chevy trax but I feel it’s a better deal

[@CarConfections]

Congrats on your new car!

[@dont4450]

I'm in NH and have over 10400 miles on my Trax 1rs. The only thing I notice that has been popping up, is when down shifting into first gear, cut tends to bang a bit. Also, there's a very faint vibration in the front when going from 55-70 mph. None under 55 and none over 70. Dealers can't find an issue. I actually prefer the FWD over AWD. Even in New Hampshire, if you're careful, you can drive easily with FWD. Besides, one thing dealers do not tell you is that if you damage just one tire beyond repair, you must replace all 4 tires at a huge expense. If you don't, and you keep your car for a while, your AWD gearbox will eventually fail. That happened to me with my previous car. I only replace the one tire because I was leasing it.

[@user-cp1qh9jv6c]

I’ll be going the BUICK route

[@mmahtnart8986]

My desire would be to lower the Envista and rim it up.

[@fredgaither1484]

Got both my kids a trax last year...bout $50K for 2 very solid 'kid cars' that nobody will race lol. As an aside they are (very unusually for these days) cheap to fix (body damage) so there's that. Recommended.

[@Jstielo]

Envista looks better

[@wadeh777]

Plus the supercharged 6 cylinder really makes a difference

[@jish55]

I am not a fan of the Envista body, especially the front and back. The front just comes off less like an suv and more like a sedan and the back slope just makes it feel more round and fat. The Trax on the other hand looks more aggressive in all the right ways, where the front looks like something sporty while the back feels more streamlined with some decent depth.

[@MdNazmulAlam]

[@RRr-yl8zr]

Honda doesn't offer and Four Well Drive Vehicles. They only have all wheel drive. and the all wheel drive systems in the HR-V and the CRV are their "sub standard" AWD system. But on these cars the AWD system is really just for better snow or maybe heavy rain situations. In which case from what people with experience have told me... Front wheel drive with some good tires on it, or at least better tires on the front of the car in winter do just fine/GOOD.

[@Cornbread-gi6kt]

@@RRr-yl8zr well, never listen to everything people say first of all. And that all depends on what climate a vehicle is exposed and where the driver lives.

C'mon, is this really surprising? A Buick should always be nicer than a Chevy. Chevy is generally the brand for entry-level, and budget conscious drivers and buyers who are younger and would like something more sporty. A Buick is traditionally for someone a little older, has a little more money to spend, and who is looking for something more refined with additional features.

Defeating the purpose of being economical and fuel efficient May seem fun, but very impractical. Can never, ever, go wrong with 2.0s or 2.4s. These are the safe zone engines.
