The 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer and Equinox are two impressive small SUVs that offer appealing blends of style, utility, performance, and technology. While these Chevy models are similar in many ways, they each have unique strengths that make them suited for different types of Plattsburgh, NY and Burlington, VT drivers. Take a closer look at the new Trailblazer and Equinox at our Elizabethtown, NY Chevy dealership today and determine which one is the best fit for your travel needs and lifestyle.
Sizing Up the Trailblazer and Equinox
One of the key differences between the new Chevy Trailblazer and Equinox is size. The Trailblazer is a subcompact crossover with a smaller footprint that's great for navigating busy city streets and tight parking spots. Elizabethtown and Lake Placid, NY drivers will appreciate the easy maneuverability of the Trailblazer, no matter what surface or road type you're driving on. The Equinox is a small SUV that provides more cabin space, making it an excellent choice for small families or those who frequently carry extra cargo and passengers around Burlington and St. Albans, VT, or for longer road trips where comfort is key.
Both the Trailblazer and Equinox provide versatility inside, thanks to easily folding rear seats that allow you to expand the cargo area when needed. Behind the rear seats, the Trailblazer offers up to 25.3 cubic-feet of cargo volume, while the Equinox gives you 29.9 cubic-feet. Fold the back row down, and the Trailblazer expands its cargo capacity to 54.4 cubic feet compared to the max 63.9 cubic-feet in the Equinox. So, if you frequently haul large or bulky items, the new Chevy Equinox may be the better pick, although the Trailblazer is still quite practical.
Performance and Efficiency
Both of these new Chevy SUVs are smartly efficient. The new Trailblazer comes standard with a turbocharged three-cylinder engine and offers an upgrade turbo four-cylinder for more power, with both engines earning solid fuel-economy ratings. The new Equinox also offers a pair of turbo engines that aren't quite as efficient, but still relatively thrifty when compared to other popular small SUVs. For your travels on either side of the lake around Elizabethtown or St. Albans, we recommend adding the optional all-wheel drive to either the Trailblazer or Equinox, as you'll have to deal with tough wintery conditions during the coldest months of the year.
Technology and Safety
The Trailblazer and Equinox can both be equipped with the Chevy brand's latest infotainment systems that include responsive touchscreens, intuitive interfaces, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Available features like built-in Wi-Fi, wireless charging, and premium audio systems keep you connected and entertained wherever your travels take you around Plattsburgh or Burlington.
On the safety front, the Trailblazer and Equinox offer confidence-inspiring driver assists like automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control. The Chevy brand's innovative safety alert seat, HD surround vision camera and rear cross traffic braking are also available to provide extra peace of mind.
Styling and Trims
The Trailblazer sports a bold, athletic design with sculpted lines, a distinctive front fascia and dual-outlet exhaust. The Equinox has a slightly more conservative look but still appears modern and upscale. Both of these new SUVs offer a range of attractive wheel designs and can be adorned with blacked-out accents or chrome trim depending on the model.
The Trailblazer and Equinox each provide several well-equipped trim levels for all kinds of stylistic preferences and budgets around the Lake Placid area. From the essential LS to the luxurious Premier and off-road-oriented Activ, there's a model for every type of driver and lifestyle.
