2025 Chevy Trailblazer
The 2025 Chevy Trailblazer is a practical ride with a pinch of excitement that can be enjoyed by a variety of drivers, whether you’re solo, young, or have a family. This vehicle is equipped with a standard 1.2L EcoTec turbocharged I-3 engine, which offers 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. The base model has great fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 30 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway, saving you both time and money in the grand scheme of life on the road.
Unlike the Trax, the Trailblazer offers an upgrade under the hood. The optional 1.3L EcoTec turbocharged I-3 engine provides a bit more fun with 155 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. This option also receives a tad more fuel efficiency, with an EPA-estimated 29 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. Adding the available AWD brings it to 26 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. It can even tow up to 1,000 lbs for some lightweight hauling capability. This means that more fun can be had if you’re going away for a weekend vacation, as the Trailblazer can easily tow a jet ski to the lake, or you can bring along a small utility trailer for work or moving purposes.
2025 Chevy Trax
The 2025 Chevy Trax is ready to entertain its drivers, starting with putting a smile on their faces with its low starting price. This SUV has one engine option, which may sound familiar: a 1.2L EcoTec turbocharged I-3 with 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. However, rather than the CVT in the Trailblazer, the Trax has a six-speed automatic transmission, getting an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 28 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.
The Trax provides a stable ride with practical power and performance at a low starting price. However, it is not as customizable with its under-the-hood options as the Trailblazer is. It also is not rated for towing, which is something to consider if that's a capability you are looking for. When searching for a Trailblazer or Trax, these are some of the things you’ll have to consider, though both have great fuel efficiency and are great for a variety of audiences with affordable price tags.
The Trailblazer vs the Trax
When it comes to learning about the key differences between these two subcompact SUVs, you’ll want to take a look at their customizability. This can determine which SUV will best fit your needs. The 2025 Chevy Trax is very versatile and practical. It is the type of SUV you take everywhere because of its convenient size and smooth handling. However, with the Trax, you’ll need to keep in mind that it is only available with a single engine option and front-wheel drive. This SUV is perfect for those looking for the basics, affordability, and practicality. The Trailblazer, on the other hand, takes some thinking. You have choices when it comes to your engine as well as the drivetrain, as this vehicle offers front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options. The Trailblazer also has a set of driving modes, including Normal, Sport, and Snow/Ice. This SUV is perfect for those looking for a bit more adventure and has some minor upgrades under the hood.
It's no secret everyone loves to have unique features in their ride to add convenience and confidence when strapping in. However, this is another place in which these two subcompact SUVs differ. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that you may find a more practical set of features in the Chevy Trax, mainly due to its super affordable MSRP, while the Trailblazer may spark some interest in those looking for more advanced features. However, neither of these options is good or bad compared to the other. They are simply made for an intended purpose and to fit a particular audience with their practical and user-friendly charms.
Features and Space
One example of these upgraded features is that the Trailblazer comes with an 11-inch touchscreen display standard, while the Trax comes with a standard eight-inch display, although an 11-inch display is available as an option. You’ll also find that the 2025 Trailblazer has a standard eight-inch driver display and an available Bose Premium seven-speaker audio system for quality and convenience. When it comes to deciding between the two Chevy SUVs, you’ll want to think through your checklist and requirements for a new vehicle.
If something crucial on your wishlist happens to be spaciousness and plenty of cargo room, then you’re in luck. When it comes to space, the Trax and the Trailblazer have very similar flexible interiors that are ready to transport your items and keep your passengers comfortable throughout the duration of the ride. It's easy to slide in the grocery bags with the standard 25.3 cu.ft. of cargo space in the Trailblazer or the 25.6 cu.ft. in the Trax. Creating a more expansive space is easy with the folding rear seats that offer up to 54.4 cu.ft. of cargo hold room in the Trailblazer or 54.1 cu.ft. in the Trax.
However, what differs between the Trailblazer and Trax is not so much the interior space as the build and styling of the vehicle. Once upon a time, the Trailblazer was the bigger vehicle between the two, but that changed when the Trax was redesigned for 2024. For the 2025 models, the Trax is a tad longer and slightly wider, while the Trailblazer is taller. This makes a difference with legroom and headroom, though both of the interior spaces are very similar.
