2022 V40 Cross Country vs. 2022 Chevrolet Trax

The 2020 V40 Cross Country and 2022 Chevrolet Trax are both compact crossovers that offer a lot in style, technology, and performance. But which is right for you? Let's find out.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

Let's start with the V40 Cross Country, which has a bolder, more aggressive look than its predecessor and is aimed at buyers who want their vehicles to stand out from the crowd. The grille is more pronounced, and the headlights have a more angular appearance. Its overall profile has been sculpted to make it look like an SUV rather than a sedan, with an increased ride height over the standard V40 and body-colored wheel arches that are larger than those on other models in Volvo's lineup.

The Trax is also available in two trim levels (LS and LT) but only comes standard with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine (and two-wheel drive). It doesn't have quite as much ground clearance or rugged styling as its competition; instead, it opts for a more conventional approach-but don't let this fool you into thinking that it isn't capable of getting dirty or roughing things up!

• Interior Design

If you're not a fan of the V40 Cross Country's design, don't worry. The 2022 Chevrolet Trax is just as bland. Both cars have large displays and touch screens, but the V40 Cross Country's screen is larger and shows more information.

The V40 Cross Country has a much more spacious interior than the Trax, but both seats are comfortable for long drives. The V40 Cross Country comes with heated front seats; however, if you want heated rear seats in your 2022 Chevrolet Trax, you'll need to upgrade to an LT trim level or higher (we recommend getting leather seats). The center console on both vehicles is large enough to accommodate up to two drinks or snacks at once-enough room for two people driving home from work!

Technology & Safety

The 2022 V40 Cross Country has a touchscreen display compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to control certain functions on your smartphone using voice commands. The Trax doesn't offer this feature.

The 2022 V40 Cross Country comes standard with automatic emergency braking, which automatically applies the brakes in an emergency to help prevent or reduce the impact of a collision. The Trax doesn't offer automatic emergency braking as standard equipment.

Regarding driver assistance systems, including parking assist and lane departure warning, the 2022 V40 Cross Country offers four features, while the 2022 Chevrolet Trax offers only one such feature: blind spot monitoring.

Performance

The 2022 V40 Cross Country is powered by a 2.0L engine that produces 295 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The Trax's only available engine is a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder that generates 240 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, but it can be had with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, depending on the model you choose.

The larger engine in the Trax gives it more power than its competitor, which means better acceleration from a stop as well as greater towing capacity (up to 7800 pounds).

The Bottom Line

To summarize, the 2022 V40 Cross Country is a great vehicle. It's efficient, comfortable, and has enough space to carry your friends or family around town. For those looking for a new SUV that won't break the bank, this is one of the best options on the market today.
