You can expect a lot from a Chevy SUV. These reliable models add pep to your step, help you stay away from the pump, and provide a smooth ride wherever you go. However, with different powertrains and transmissions in the Blazer and the Trailblazer, your choice will lie in whether you desire power or efficiency.
The quality of your drive is important, which is why both vehicles are available with all-wheel drive systems. This drivetrain will be ideal when you take your SUV off the beaten path.
As you carve out your own course, you can experience an effortless drive with either model’s transmission. The Blazer and the Trailblazer feature a 9-speed automatic transmission, and the Trailblazer offers a smooth-shifting Continuous Variable Transmission too.
Armed with exceptional powertrains, the Blazer and the Trailblazer can help you tackle the challenges of the road with ease.
The Chevy Blazer offers two engine options. Its standard 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine pumps out 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It also boasts an EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG.
As for the Chevy Trailblazer, it also has two engine options that churn out potent power. Its standard 1.3L ECOTEC® engine generates 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. It’s designed to be exceptionally efficient, helping the Chevy Trailblazer earn up to an EPA-estimated 29 city/33 highway MPG.
You need space, and the Chevy Blazer and the Chevy Trailblazer are here to give it to you. While one model is slightly bigger than the other, you’ll find ample space for your passengers and your cargo inside either option. How will you decide? Check out these vehicles’ interior dimensions below.

The Blazer and the Trailblazer can each serve as your next family car, which makes safety even more important. Fortunately, both Chevy SUVs are equipped with a standard safety suite and keyless entry systems to keep you feeling confident and prepared.
Both SUVs come standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes excellent safety features, such as:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
