What Makes Each Model Stand Out?

Chevy Trax Standard Features

Wherever you go in Parsippany or Dover, NJ, you're connected. The new Chevy Trax brings wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to every trim level. That's in addition to Chevy Safety Assist—six driver's assistance features that will improve your road vision in rush hour traffic or a smooth evening commute. The 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine will provide an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined.

Upgrades

  • 11-inch Diagonal Touchscreen
  • EvoTex Seats
  • Heated Front Seats
  • Wireless Charging Pad

Mazda CX-30 Standard Features

The Mazda brand leans towards luxury, and the CX-30 is no exception. The minimalist exterior design features 16-inch wheels and a bland color palette. However, the interior design makes up for a less appealing exterior. Entry-level models feature cloth seats and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ just like the Chevy Trax, but the upgrades (and the MSLPs) climb from there.

Upgrades

  • Leather Seats
  • 10.25-inch Touchscreen
  • Bose Sound System
  • Wireless Phone Charger

Toyota Corolla Cross Standard Features

The Toyota Corolla Cross presents an attractive option with contemporary exterior style in Montville. Entry-level models are equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen, Toyota Safety Sense driver's assistance features, and smartphone compatibility. The 2.0-liter engine offers an EPA-estimated 32 MPG combined, and AWD is available.

Upgrades

  • Qi-Compatible Wireless Charging
  • 10.5-inch Touchscreen
  • SofTex®-Trimmed Seats
  • Available Moonroof

Kia Seltos Standard Features

The Kia Seltos also follows suit with the Chevy Trax with a trendsetting exterior style. Inside the base model, you'll find driver-assistance features like Forward-Collision Avoidance-Assistance and Lane-Keeping Assistance, as well as smartphone compatibility. The Kia Seltos has two engine options, with the most efficient being the 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which delivers an EPA-estimated 29 MPG combined. AWD is available on each trim.

Upgrades

  • SynTex® Seats
  • Bose® Sound System
  • Heated Front Seats
  • 10.25-inch Touchscreen

Which Model is a good fit for You?

Chevy Trax: Good Size, Trendy, Low Starting Price

The Chevy Trax brings the trifecta of interior space, affordability, and modern interior/exterior styling to complement your commute in Morristown, NJ. With more cargo space, passenger volume, and legroom than its competition, you can surely make some new tracks with your new Chevy Trax in Denville.

Mazda CX-30: Smaller, A Bit More Luxurious

The Mazda CX-30 is luxury through and through. Though smaller than the Chevy Trax, the swank interior design is inviting. However, the higher price may not justify the amenities—especially if you have growing teens, car seats, and a need for more cargo space.

Toyota Corolla Cross: A Practical Alternative

The Corolla Cross adds a few exterior design elements to attract customers and keep up with the Chevy Trax. Off-road capability won't wow you by any means, but if you need a little more capability to handle a bump or two on a dirty path, the Corolla Cross can handle it.

Kia Seltos: Slightly Larger, Visually Appealing

The Kia Seltos offers an array of wheel sizes, crisp LED lights, and available two-tone color options—a suitable competitor for the Chevy Trax. It's a bit larger than the Trax, so that's something to consider when parking or cruising along in Parsippany.
