What stands out

The Trax pairs a turbocharged three-cylinder with a long list of standard safety features and an optional 11-inch screen. The HR-V offers available all-wheel drive, which the Trax does not. If all-wheel drive matters for Chicago winters, factor that in; if you want standard Chevy Safety Assist and the available Wi-Fi hotspot, the Trax is worth a test drive.
