Compare the Chevrolet Blazer vs Chevrolet Trax

Comparing Chevy SUVs: Chevrolet Blazer vs Chevrolet Trax in Torrington, CT

When shopping for a versatile crossover SUV, the Chevrolet Blazer and Chevrolet Trax are two compelling options to consider. Both models offer advanced technology and the dependability you expect from Chevy. However, some key differences may make one a better fit for your lifestyle. At Sullivan Automotive Group in Torrington, CT, we're here to help you compare the Blazer and Trax so you can decide which is the ideal choice for your needs.

Performance and Capability


First, let's take a look at what's under the hood. The Chevrolet Blazer comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbo engine that delivers 228 horsepower, while a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 308 horsepower is available on higher trims. In contrast, the Chevrolet Trax has a 1.4-liter turbo engine with 155 horsepower across all trims. If you frequently drive on the highways around Waterbury or take weekend trips into the hills, the extra power of the Blazer's engine options may be beneficial.

The Blazer also boasts a higher towing capacity when properly equipped, with the ability to tow up to 4,500 pounds. This makes it a great choice if you need to haul a small camper or boat. The Trax has a more modest 1,263-pound towing capacity when outfitted with the available towing package, which is suitable for pulling a small trailer or some recreational gear.

Interior Space and Comfort


Inside, both the Blazer and Trax offer seating for up to five passengers. However, the Blazer has a more spacious interior with 107.8 cubic feet of total passenger volume compared to 92.8 cubic feet in the Trax. Taller drivers and passengers in Bristol may appreciate the extra headroom and legroom the Blazer provides.

When it comes to cargo capacity, the Blazer also has the edge with 30.5 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 64.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. The Trax offers 18.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and a maximum cargo volume of 48.4 cubic feet. If you frequently need to haul larger items around Farmington or pack up for family road trips, the added cargo space of the Blazer may come in handy.

Technology and Safety


No matter which model you choose, you'll get to enjoy an array of advanced infotainment and safety technologies. Both the Blazer and Trax come standard with the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System featuring a seven-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth audio streaming, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and available 4G Wi-Fi hotspot.

On the safety front, the Blazer and Trax offer Chevy's suite of driver assistance features like forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, and lane keep assist with lane departure warning to help you drive with confidence around Hartford. Available Adaptive Cruise Control and HD Surround Vision are additional options on the Blazer that provide extra peace of mind.

Choosing the Right Chevrolet Crossover for You

Deciding between the Chevrolet Blazer and Trax ultimately depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you're looking for a crossover with solid performance, ample cargo space, and some extra towing capability for your active lifestyle, the Blazer is a great choice. If you're looking for an agile, city-friendly SUV that's easy to maneuver and park but still has flexible passenger and cargo space, the Trax may be the way to go.
