When trying to find the right fit for your lifestyle, the Chevy Trailblazer checks all the boxes. Peppy powertrains. Ample seating space. Numerous available amenities and conveniences. And so much more! However, it may still be challenging to choose the model you want with other options out there. When matched up to rivals like the Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4, here's how the Chevy Trailblazer comes out on top!
Both lineups offer turbocharged engines, providing you with premium power and efficiency. While the Ford Escape does offer the stronger engine option with a 2.0-liter turbocharged, delivering 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, the Trailblazer is the more efficient option with its 1.3-liter turbocharged powertrain. The Chevy SUV enjoys an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 29/33 mpg city/highway. The Ford Escape's 2.0-liter engine only manages 23/31 mpg city/highway.
Drivers in the Trailblazer start with a seven-inch touchscreen, courtesy of the Chevrolet Infotainment System. You'll also enjoy a standard Wi-Fi hotspot and Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ smartphone connectivity. The Ford Escape does come standard with a Wi-Fi hotspot and now includes a standard eight-inch touchscreen on the base model with smartphone integration. However, only the Trailblazer offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capability - the Ford Escape doesn't currently feature this technology.
Both SUVs offer generous cargo space, easily expanded by folding the rear seats and opening up the interior. However, the Trailblazer allows you to fold the front passenger and rear seats flat to improve cargo-hauling capabilities and enable you to store longer items. The RAV4 also allows you to fold the rear seats but won't allow you to fold the front passenger seat.
Sometimes, bigger isn't always better. The Chevy Trailblazer is considered a subcompact SUV, with an overall length of 173.7 inches and a width of 71.2 inches. The Toyota RAV4 is a compact SUV featuring a 180.9-inch length and 73.0-inch width. Driving a bigger SUV like the RAV4 will challenge your ability to navigate into and out of tight parking spots - you won't have the same issues with the Chevy Trailblazer.
