Trax vs Encore: Performance
The 2020 Chevy Trax and the 2020 Buick Encore are nearly identical under the hood. Both models sport a 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. This duo achieves great fuel economy in both models as well as 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque.
Both the Trax and the Encore offer an available all-wheel drivetrain. However, the Trax offers its advanced all-wheel drive system in all three of its trim levels including the base trim. You can read more about what it has to offer in this full review.
The Encore, on the other hand, does not offer an all-wheel drive option in its base trim, meaning you'll have to upgrade in order to have better stability and confidence in rougher road-conditions.

The Trax takes technology a step further, though, with the myChevrolet Mobile App. With this app, you'll be able to control multiple aspects of your Trax as well as check up on important data about your vehicle. Lock and unlock the doors, remotely start the vehicle, check up on your oil and tire pressure, and even set parking reminders.
