What Makes Each Model Stand Out?

Chevy Trax Standard Features

The Chevy Trax is a great choice for new families, first-time buyers, and budget-conscious shoppers throughout Paramus and the surrounding areas. The Chevy Trax is available in five trims. The entry-level model comes with Chevy Safety Assist, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, LED headlights, and active noise cancellation technology. The 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine provides 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 CX-30 isn't about glitz and glamour with its exterior design, so you'll get a smooth, minimalist design throughout the trim selection. Entry-level models feature cloth seats and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™, much like the new Chevy Trax. Fuel economy reaches an EPA-estimated 27 MPG combined, and AWD is available.

Upgrades

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

Toyota Corolla Cross Standard Features

The Toyota Corolla Cross features an eye-catching exterior design, a switch up from the Mazda CX-30, and on par with the Chevy Trax. Inside the entry-level model is an 8-inch touchscreen, Toyota Safety Sense driver's assistance features, and Apple/Android smartphone compatibility. Fuel economy reaches an EPA-estimated 32 MPG combined, AWD is available.

Upgrades

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

Kia Seltos Standard Features

The Kia Seltos shows that smartphone connectivity is a must in Bloomfield, NJ, and the surrounding areas. The Kia Seltos will also include multiple driver-assistance features and a front USB media port on every trim. While it offers a lot in its entry-level model, it falls short in a few areas compared to the Chevy Trax. Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 29 MPG combined, and AWD is available.

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

In comparison, the Chevy Trax is an affordable option packed with standard smartphone connectivity and safety features, even on the entry-level model. For contemporary features and prices that can fit any budget, the Chevy Trax remains a popular decision for shoppers in Paterson, NJ, and the surrounding areas.

Mazda CX-30: Smaller, A Bit More Luxurious

The Mazda CX-30 adds luxury, but you'll have to pay to play. We'll admit that this model is power packed with luxury amenities, but the smaller size may not justify the price. If you have a larger family, growing teens, or bulky car seats, this might not be the option for you.

Toyota Corolla Cross: A Practical Alternative

The Corolla Cross keeps things close to the Chevy Trax, especially with its exterior styling. Available dual-tone body/roof options, along with 18-inch wheels, keep style at the forefront. However, it's still smaller than the Chevy Trax with less cargo space and passenger volume.

Kia Seltos: Another Stylish Option

The Kia Seltos offers an array of wheel sizes, options, and colors, falling in line with the Chevy Trax. With four trim levels, customers in West Caldwell will have more options to choose from; however, the more expensive price tag follows.
