To learn more about how the 2021 Chevy Trailblazer vs. Blazer stack up against each other, check out our comparison below!
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.
