The 2025 Chevy Trailblazer vs. the 2025 Chevy Trax

The 2025 Chevy Trailblazer and the 2025 Chevy Trax are two compact SUVs perfect for commuters and small families seeking an affordable daily driver. Here’s a rundown of each model’s main features to help you find your match.

Engines and Performance

The Trailblazer and the Trax are Chevy’s smallest SUVs, and they both come standard with the same engine under the hood. The 1.2L ECOTEC Turbo engine produces 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, which is plenty of power for most drivers. It pairs with a continuously variable transmission in the Trailblazer and a six-speed automatic transmission in the Trax and standard front-wheel drive in both models.

If you need more traction in adverse weather or want to explore the great outdoors, all-wheel drive is available on the Trailblazer. This SUV can also be customized with a bigger 1.3L ECOTEC Turbo engine that generates 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. These options are not available on the Trax.

Fuel Economy and Driving Range

Both the Trailblazer and the Trax are efficient vehicles. In the standard front-wheel drive setup, the Trailblazer boasts EPA estimates of 30 MPG combined, with an estimate of 30 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on highways. The Trax also has a combined EPA estimate of 30 MPG, with a slightly better estimate of 32 MPG on highways and 28 MPG in the city.

Chevy equips both models with a 13.2-gallon fuel tank for an estimated driving range of 396 miles. With the optional engine, the Trailblazer delivers EPA estimates of 29 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on highways.

Interior and Cargo

The Trailblazer and the Trax are also similar in terms of interior dimensions and features. They both offer seats for five with a passenger volume of 98.2 cubic feet and 98 cubic feet, respectively. A slightly different placement of the seats increases the second-row legroom in the Trailblazer, whereas the Trax offers one inch of extra legroom at the front. The infotainment system comes standard with an 11-inch touchscreen in the Trailblazer.

The Trax has the same infotainment system as the Trailblazer, but with a standard 8-inch touchscreen. With 25.6 cubic feet of rear cargo volume, the Trax’s trunk is slightly more spacious compared to the Trailblazer, which has a rear cargo volume of 25.3 cubic feet. With the rear seats folded, the Trailblazer offers a maximum cargo volume of 54.4 cubic feet, whereas the Trax has a maximum cargo volume of 54.1 cubic feet.

While these two SUVs are incredibly similar, the Trax is more affordable and a better choice for budget-savvy families and new drivers. The Trailblazer offers enhanced off-roading capability, especially when equipped with the available all-wheel drive system and the bigger engine.
