Blaise Alexander Chevrolet - Model Lineup - Chevrolet Equinox vs. Trailblazer: Which SUV Should You Choose?
Looking for a small SUV for sale in Muncy, Pennsylvania, that will suit your needs? Check out two all-American modern classics: the Chevrolet Equinox and the Trailblazer.
Whether you’ve got an active family or you’re a retiree on a budget, these versatile SUVs were built with your needs in mind. To help you decide which model is right for you, check out this guide from Blaise Alexander Chevrolet on what makes these models distinct for the 2024 model year.
Comparing power and efficiency
The peppy and efficient
Chevy Trailblazer offers two powertrains options for 2024: a standard 1.2-liter engine and an available 1.3-liter dynamo. The latter earns an EPA-estimated 33 mpg on the highway with a small boost of horsepower.1 With impressive fuel economy like that, you won’t have to think twice before you hit the road to visit your grandkids in Williamsport. Available all-wheel drive provides a confident grip on the road across Pennsylvania’s rolling hills.
The Equinox is the stronger SUV and comes with a 1.5-liter engine, which provides an energetic ride with 175 horsepower alongside an average 31 mpg when cruising down highways like I-180.2 Unlike the Trailblazer’s full-time all-wheel drive, the Equinox offers switchable all-wheel drive that can kick on or off as needed.
Passenger and cargo space measurements
The Trailblazer and Equinox are versatile SUVs, each designed for different lifestyles. The Trailblazer’s compact design offers plenty of everyday utility, with five seats and up to 54.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded flat. Rear-seat passenger won’t be cramped thanks to 40.9 inches of legroom. With space like that, adults and grown-up grandkids will have room to relax.
For busy young families, consider the Equinox. It also boasts five seats, but offers more space for your children’s belongings. Behind the backseat, you’ll have nearly 30 cubic feet of storage room for essentials like strollers, bikes, and sports gear. Fold down the rear seats for 63.9 cubic feet of cargo space. Rear legroom is comparable to the Trailblazer but has the added benefit of greater headroom and hip space.
Differences in exterior appearance
The
Equinox
sports sleek and modern styling, with smooth curves and a streamlined profile. LED exterior lighting comes standard, and you can opt for a hands-free power liftgate on select trim levels. Customize the Equinox by choosing the Redline or Midnight special-edition models.
On the other hand, the Trailblazer sets itself apart with its squared-off styling and rugged good looks. Each trim stands out with distinct styling cues, including custom front fascia, unique exterior lighting, and exclusive grille designs. Put a sporty spin on the Trailblazer by choosing a two-toned roof, available on select models.
Notable variances in tech features
Both models come equipped with the latest high-tech conveniences including wireless smartphone connectivity, in-vehicle Wi-Fi connectivity, and available wireless phone charging stations. The Trailblazer emphasizes modern technology with a standard 11-inch infotainment display, whereas the Equinox only has 7- or 8-inch touch screens.
If you’re looking for a smart, safe ride, you can’t go wrong with these Chevy SUVs. Both come standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a bundle of six intelligent safety technologies. Both models offer Adaptive Cruise Control as an upgrade, while only the Equinox features available HD Surround Vision.
The bottom line
A new 2024 Trailblazer costs approximately $3,000 less than a new Equinox.
3 Those extra dollars will get you a stronger engine and larger cabin, or you could afford a higher-priced trim level on the Trailblazer for that same amount of money to get more luxuries and tech.
