Performance
The first point of comparison between these models is the source of their energy. The Chevrolet Trailblazer has two available engines, the stronger of which being a standard ECOTEC® 1.3L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that creates 155 horsepower and 174 lb.-ft. of torque. The gas-powered Toyota Corolla Cross utilized a standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that makes 169 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque. Both vehicles have a standard FWD setup along with available AWD that will give you better control of the vehicle as you travel to Hitchcock Woods in the winter. While the Toyota vehicle has a standard multi-link rear suspension for a smoother ride in the cabin, the Chevrolet model offers a MacPherson Strut front and Watt’s Linkage back-end suspension that is tuned for traveling off road, helping you pursue the call to adventure. While you’re on the road, the Chevy will grant you an EPA-estimated 29/33 MPG city/hwy fuel efficiency rating1 compared to the 31/33 MPG city/hwy/combined2 gas economy of the Toyota model, with the latter car having a shade more during urban excursions.
Interior
Even though they both belong to the same vehicle segment, the 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer pulls ahead in terms of cargo space, providing 25.3 cubic ft. and 54.4 cubic ft. of cargo space3 behind the second and first rows, respectively. In the same order, the Corolla Cross includes 24.0 cubic ft. and 46.9 cubic ft. of stowing room4. Each vehicle includes standard seating for five people, but they will have more room in the Chevrolet if you take them to Prairiewalk Pond for lunch. Although the Toyota has 42.9 inches of legroom in the front row compared to the 40.9 inches of the Trailblazer, the Corolla Cross only has a diminutive 32.0 inches of legroom in the second row compared to the Toyota’s 39.0 inches. The Trailblazer allows drivers to brighten the cabin with an available panoramic sunroof, and the Corolla Cross has an available moonroof for the same purpose. In the pilot’s seat, both drivers will experience a similar feeling due to the standard inclusion of a cloth-covered 6-way manual-adjustable chair.
Technology
Sitting at the helm of the Chevrolet model, you’ll immediately notice it has larger screens compared to the Toyota. Aside from a standard 8-inch driver information center, the Trailblazer has a standard 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen to control the vehicle’s tech. However, the Corolla Cross can only offer a 7-inch digital gauge cluster and a 8-inch Toyota audio touchscreen. Both vehicles can help you restore the battery in your smartphone, owing to the available wireless charging systems5,6. Likewise, each vehicle has standard wireless Apple CarPlay®7,8 and Android Auto™9,10capabilities, helpful for setting up entertainment for your rides. Although these cars are similar in size, the 2025 Trailblazer pulls ahead in terms of its spaciousness, tech, and off-road capabilities.
