Chevrolet Trax or Trailblazer: Choosing Your Perfect 2025 Compact SUV

November 29 2024 -

Modern SUV shoppers face an enviable choice in Chevrolet's compact lineup. The 2025 Chevrolet Trax and Trailblazer each bring distinct personalities to the segment while sharing Chevrolet's commitment to style, technology, and value.

Exterior Design and Dimensions

Measurement	2025 Trax	2025 Trailblazer
Wheelbase	2,700 mm	2,639 mm
Overall Length	4,537 mm	4,407 mm
Overall Width	1,823 mm	1,808 mm
Overall Height	1,560 mm	1,656 mm

Both vehicles offer distinctive trim levels that transform their appearance. The Trailblazer RS features sporty black accents and larger 19-inch wheels, while its ACTIV trim includes rugged cladding and all-terrain tires. The Trax offers its own RS variants with unique styling elements that emphasize its urban character.

Performance and Capability

These SUVs share a standard 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. The Trailblazer distinguishes itself with an available 1.3L turbocharged engine generating 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. Transmission choices reflect each vehicle's mission - the Trax uses a six-speed automatic transmission focused on smooth city driving, while the Trailblazer offers a CVT for front-wheel drive models and a nine-speed automatic with all-wheel drive configurations. The Trailblazer's available all-wheel drive system and ACTIV trim's off-road-tuned suspension make it the more adventurous choice.

Interior Space and Versatility

Here's how these SUVs compare in key dimensions:

Feature	2025 Trax	2025 Trailblazer
Passenger Volume	2,826 litres	2,780 litres
Cargo (Behind Rear Seats)	725 litres	716 litres
Maximum Cargo Volume	1,532 litres	1,540 litres
Front Legroom	1,065 mm	1,039 mm
Rear Legroom	963 mm	1,001 mm

The Trailblazer includes a fold-flat front passenger seat accommodating items up to 2.5 metres long, while both vehicles offer 60/40 split-folding rear seats for versatile cargo arrangements.

Technology and Safety

Both vehicles showcase Chevrolet's latest technology. New 11-inch diagonal infotainment displays come standard, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The Chevrolet Safety Assist package equips both models with automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and forward collision alert. Available adaptive cruise control and enhanced driver awareness features add convenience for longer journeys.

The right choice depends on your priorities. The Trax excels as a city-friendly SUV with car-like driving dynamics, offering slightly more passenger volume and a longer wheelbase. The Trailblazer offers more configuration options and capability, particularly with its available all-wheel drive and ACTIV trim, while providing marginally more cargo space with the seats folded.
