2023 CHEVY BLAZER VS. TRAILBLAZER

Two popular SUV models from Chevrolet are the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. However, despite their similar names, these two SUVs are very different models. They’re both great options, but one of them is likely a better fit for your needs than the other. Below, we’ll highlight some of the key differences between the two models to help you decide which is right for you.

2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: INTERIOR SPACE AND COMFORT

Let’s start by looking at the interior of these two vehicles. The 2023 Chevrolet Blazer’s interior is stylish and functional, with plenty of soft-touch materials and a two-tone color scheme. The round air vents and intuitive climate-control system make it easy to adjust the interior temperature based on your preferences. The rear seats feature plenty of space for taller adult passengers, while the cargo area has an abundance of space at 31 cubic feet. Available interior upgrades for the Blazer include leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, and ambient lighting.

The 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer similarly offers a spacious and comfortable cabin. Once again, adults should have plenty of space in the back seats, while drivers will enjoy the high driving position and comfortable driver’s seat. If you want a slightly more upscale look with your Trailblazer, more premium trims come with features such as chrome embellishments and some colored trim pieces. Finally, the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer is great when it comes to cargo space, with 25 cubic feet in the rear, which you can expand by folding down not only the rear seats but also the front passenger seat.

2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: PERFORMANCE

Both vehicles feature a great driving experience thanks to their internal powertrains. On the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer, the standard setup is a turbocharged 2-liter engine that produces 228 horsepower. This pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. With this setup, the Blazer can tow up to 1500 lbs. There’s also a V-6 engine available that produces 308 horsepower, which will allow you to tow up to 4500 lbs.

For the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, there are two different turbocharged engines available. The first is a 1.2-liter engine that produces 137 horsepower and comes with only front-wheel drive. The other option is a 1.3-liter engine that produces 155 horsepower and can come with all-wheel drive. Both engines pair with a continuously variable transmission unless you select an all-wheel drive model, in which case you’ll get a nine-speed automatic transmission.

2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: FUEL EFFICIENCY

Fuel efficiency is another important consideration for any new vehicle you select. With the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer, you can expect to get around 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway when you select the standard engine. If you upgrade to the V-6 engine, these estimates change to 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Selecting all-wheel drive may drop the estimates a little further for both engines.

The 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a little more fuel efficient compared to the Chevrolet Blazer. With the standard engine options, the EPA estimates you’ll get around 29 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. Choosing the larger 1.3-liter engine and all-wheel drive changes these estimates to 26 mpg and 30 mpg, respectively.

2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: ENTERTAINMENT

To keep you entertained on long drives, both the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and the Chevrolet Trailblazer come with great entertainment tech. Inside the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer, there’s a 10-inch infotainment touch screen that makes it easy to control your favorite media sources. This includes your smartphone, as you get both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integrations. For an even better audio experience, the Blazer can come with an improved eight-speaker Bose audio system.

With the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, a 7-inch infotainment touch screen comes standard, but an 8-inch unit is also available. This system also features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with SiriusXM satellite radio. The standard audio setup features four speakers, with a six-speaker and a premium Bose setup also available.

2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: SAFETY

Finally, both the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer have the latest safety technology onboard. They share many of the same features, and the model and trim will determine which features come standard. For both the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, the base model includes features such as lane departure warning and automated emergency braking, with other features such as adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring available as upgrades.

WHICH MODEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Even though these two models are similar in name, there are some big differences between the two models. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable SUV, you’ll likely prefer the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, as its starting MSRP is $23,395. On the other hand, if you want a more premium driving experience and have a slightly larger budget, you might want to explore the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and its starting MSRP of $36,495.
