Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Blazer than in the Volvo XC40. The Chevrolet Blazer will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC40.

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 Volvo XC40.

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 Blazer will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volvo XC40.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Blazer is a little wider than the Volvo XC40, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Chevrolet Blazer, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volvo XC40.

Handling
The Chevrolet Blazer has a larger turning radius than the Volvo XC40, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Chevrolet Blazer has a little less horsepower than the Volvo XC40.

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 Volvo XC40.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Blazer and the Volvo XC40. The Chevrolet Blazer has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volvo XC40.
