Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Trailblazer offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Kia Seltos. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Trailblazer and the Kia Seltos.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Trailblazer will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Seltos.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Trailblazer is about the same width as the Kia Seltos. When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Trailblazer takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Seltos.

Handling
The Chevrolet Trailblazer has a larger turning radius than the Kia Seltos, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Chevrolet Trailblazer has a little more horsepower than the Kia Seltos.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Chevrolet Trailblazer transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Kia Seltos.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Trailblazer and the Kia Seltos. The Chevrolet Trailblazer has less cargo space than the Kia Seltos, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
