Hey car enthusiasts, I’m trying to decide between a Chevy Equinox and Trailblazer, but feeling a bit confused about their size? From what I’ve gathered, the Equinox might be the bigger option. Anyone out there currently driving one or the other? Can you shed some light on which one offers more space for passengers and cargo?

Hi Ethan… The Chevrolet Equinox and Trailblazer are both SUVs, but they differ in size and features. The Equinox is generally larger than the Trailblazer, offering more interior space for both passengers and cargo. It typically has a more spacious rear seat and a larger cargo area compared to the Trailblazer. If you prioritize roominess and cargo capacity, the Equinox might be the better choice. However, if you prefer a smaller, more compact SUV with potentially better fuel efficiency and maneuverability, the Trailblazer could be a suitable option. It might be helpful to test drive both models and consider your specific needs for passenger comfort and cargo space before making a decision.
While both SUVs are smaller vehicles, the Equinox is the larger of the two . The Equinox has a length of 183.1 inches, while the Trailblazer is 173.5 inches. There is also significantly more cargo space with the Equinox.
Hello Ethan, The Chevrolet Equinox is larger than the Trailblazer:
Equinox:
- Passenger volume: 103.5 cu. ft.
- Cargo space (seats folded): 63.9 cu. ft.
Trailblazer:
- Passenger volume: Likely less than Equinox (some sources list 123.5 cu. ft., which seems incorrect)
- Cargo space (seats folded): 54.4 cu. ft.

I drove a 2017 Bolt to the showroom and then took a test drive in an EV Equinox. Both the front and rear of the Equinox are roomy. Certainly felt spacious. Sitting in what felt like a much larger blazer EV.

In conclusion, the Chevrolet Equinox is significantly larger than the Trailblazer. Although both vehicles can accommodate five passengers and have plenty of storage room, one has increased numbers in practically every dimension. However, the little Trailblazer subcompact SUV is deceptively large on the interior, though you wouldn’t know from the outside.
I advice you purchase the Equinox if you prioritize passenger space and cargo capacity. It provides a roomier interior and more storage, which can be beneficial for families or those who often carry a lot of gear.
In my opinion, both the Chevy Equinox and Trailblazer are capable SUVs, each with its own strengths in terms of passenger space, cargo capacity, and features. However, if you prioritize passenger comfort and need more rear legroom, the Equinox might be the better choice.
The equinox is the bigger option. It is longer and has a longer wheelbase compared to the Trailblazer, which generally translates to more interior space, especially in terms of legroom and cargo capacity.
