Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Traverse than in the Chevrolet Trailblazer, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Traverse will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Trailblazer.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Chevrolet Trailblazer is a better financial choice over the Chevrolet Traverse, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Trailblazer is much slimmer than the Chevrolet Traverse, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Chevrolet Trailblazer, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Chevrolet Traverse.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Trailblazer has a lot less horsepower than the Chevrolet Traverse.

Powertrain
The Chevrolet Trailblazer has much lower torque than the Chevrolet Traverse, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Chevrolet Trailblazer has less seating than the Chevrolet Traverse, making the Chevrolet Traverse the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Chevrolet Trailblazer has significantly less cargo capacity than the Chevrolet Traverse.
