Chevy Trailblazer vs Blazer

Trailblazer vs Blazer: Performance

Behind each of these SUVs is a great deal of power coming from the engines under the hood. The 2021 Chevy Trailblazer comes equipped with two powerful engine options—either an ECOTEC 1.2L Turbo engine or an ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine. The former provides you with 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, while the latter churns out 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque.

For the Blazer, on the other hand, you’ll have a bit more variety to choose from with three unique engine options. Your choices include a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine, or a 3.6L V6 engine. Out of these, you’ll see anywhere from 193 to 308 horsepower and 188 to 270 lb-ft of torque.

Both also provide some variety in the transmissions they offer alongside their engines. The Trailblazer offers either a 9-speed automatic transmission or a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT). The Blazer offers several 9-speed automatic transmissions, one designed for each unique engine.

Paired with all that room for you and your passengers, each also provides plenty of cargo space for you to utilize on your weekend getaways or upcoming camping trips. Once again, the Blazer provides a bit more room to breathe with its 30.5 cubic feet of cargo space, in comparison to the 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space in the Trailblazer.

Both the Trailblazer and Blazer allow you to take in those beautiful summer days with their panoramic power sunroofs.
