Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage Hybrid than in the Chevrolet Trailblazer, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Trailblazer and the Kia Sportage Hybrid.

Convenience
With the Kia Sportage Hybrid, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Chevrolet Trailblazer, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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 Kia Sportage Hybrid, when considering MSRP.

Since the Chevrolet Trailblazer is much slimmer than the Kia Sportage Hybrid, 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 Kia Sportage Hybrid.

The Chevrolet Trailblazer has a smaller turning radius than the Kia Sportage Hybrid, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

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