Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Trailblazer offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen Tiguan, with comparable head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Trailblazer offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Tiguan, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
With the Volkswagen Tiguan, 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 Volkswagen Tiguan, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Trailblazer is a little narrower than the Volkswagen Tiguan, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. 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 Volkswagen Tiguan.

Handling
The Chevrolet Trailblazer has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Tiguan, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Chevrolet Trailblazer has a little less horsepower than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Trailblazer and the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Chevrolet Trailblazer has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volkswagen Tiguan.
