Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage than in the Chevrolet Blazer, 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 Blazer and the Kia Sportage.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Chevrolet Blazer, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Kia Sportage.

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). The Chevrolet Blazer is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Sportage.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Blazer is much wider than the Kia Sportage, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet Blazer, which is slightly longer than the Kia Sportage.

Performance
The Chevrolet Blazer has a little more horsepower than the Kia Sportage.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Blazer does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Sportage.

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