What new Chevy to buy? Trax vs Trailblazer?

Looking for thoughts on the 2025 Chevy Trax vs. 2025 Chevy Trailblazer. Which one would you pick?

Go for the Trax if you don’t need AWD. Trailblazer if you do, but avoid the 2WD Trailblazer because of the CVT transmission.

I have the Trailblazer and really like it! The AWD is great, and I went for the more powerful engine since the 1.2T felt a bit slow. The Trailblazer also has more available options, but the Trax is cheaper. The Trailblazer drives smooth and quiet though!

Both are solid choices. I have a 2024 Trax and it’s been great. Since they’re so similar, it really comes down to deals and options. Trax is selling fast, so there might not be as many incentives. For the Trailblazer, I’d get the AWD for the 9-speed auto since I’m not a fan of CVTs.

Trax if you’re okay with something smaller and more budget-friendly. Trailblazer if you can spend a bit more.

Oops, I have a 2021 Trax which is smaller. My bad!
