In this article, we look deeply at the 2024 Chevrolet Trax and Trailblazer to learn what makes them special. At the end of this comparison, you'll have enough information to make an informed choice about the two vehicles.
Exterior Design
The Trailblazer exudes rugged sophistication with up to 8 inches of ground clearance, making it ideal for outdoor adventures. With a prominent grille and sculpted body lines, this athletic SUV has a power sunroof and roof rails available. The modern-looking Trax features a cascading grill and split headlights, with the rear sporting wraparound taillights. You can also equip it with a power sunroof, roof rails, and 19-inch black-painted aluminum wheels.
You can express your individuality with a spectrum of customization options. The Trax and Trailblazer offer a kaleidoscope of color choices and wheel designs aplenty. No matter your style, you'll discover your match here.
Interior Comfort and Space
Meticulously crafted for optimal comfort and practicality, these compact crossovers accommodate up to five passengers; however, if rear legroom is a priority, the Trailblazer has you covered. And when it comes to carrying all your belongings, it takes the lead with an amazing 54.4 cubic feet of cargo room (the Trax is close behind with 54.1 cubic feet) — plenty of space for your weekend trips or daily errands around Lewisville, Texas.
Practicality reigns supreme in the Trax's cabin, where a no-frills plan puts everything you require right at your fingertips — the ideal choice if you're looking for a trustworthy, practical ride that finishes the task without any hassle. But if an upscale feel is what you want, its interior is sure to awe with its premium materials and thoughtful touches that make every drive feel a bit more exceptional.
Technology and Infotainment
Seamless connectivity takes center stage in both the Trax and Trailblazer—and both deliver in abundance. Their user-friendly infotainment systems seamlessly sync up with your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so you can easily access all your favorite apps, playlists, and navigation tools. While the Trax comes standard with a crisp 8-inch touch-screen display, the Trailblazer raises the stakes by offering an 11-inch screen, perfect for extended road trips.
If you're a music enthusiast, you'll appreciate the Trailblazer's available Bose premium sound system, with its crystal-clear sound that'll have you singing along to your favorite melodies in no time. Plus, with the available wireless charging abilities, you'll never have to worry about your phone running out of power during your trip.
Performance and Powertrain Options
The 2024 Chevrolet Trax has a 1.2-liter turbocharged I-3 engine that makes 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. This pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels. You'll save money on gas, with fuel numbers of up to 28 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.
If you want better performance, the Chevrolet Trailblazer offers two engine choices. The standard 1.2-liter turbocharged powertrain is perfect for everyday driving, while the 1.3-liter turbocharged motor, with 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, makes things more exciting. That extra power helps when you need to get on the highway or confidently pass slower cars. The Trailblazer's available all-wheel-drive system offers better traction and peace of mind.
Safety Features
Both the Trax and Trailblazer make your security their top goal with modern safety hardware, with the Chevy Safety Assist suite of six advanced driver-assistance technologies. Forward collision alert tells you if a front-end crash may happen. Automatic emergency braking can reduce or stop collisions altogether. Lane-keeping assist gently pushes you back into your lane if you drift. The SUVs also feature adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and proactive safety features such as anti-lock brakes, stability control, seatbelt pre-tensioners, and front/side/overhead air bags.
Pricing and Value
The 2024 Trax has a starting MSRP of $21,495. Is it well-equipped and capable? Yes, it's a good deal. If you're looking for more, the 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer is impressive. It starts at $23,100 and offers two engine options: a larger cabin, improved infotainment and multimedia features, better performance, and modest off-road capabilities. You can pick the powertrain, drivetrain, and safety items you want. Can it drive easily in the city? Yes. Can it go off-road? It can handle that, too.
While the Trailblazer is the more capable vehicle, the Trax has a significantly lower price, making it a more attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. Unless you can't live without the additional capabilities the Trailblazer offers over the Trax, the smaller SUV offers the better value for money.
