In researching an SUV, you’ll want to find an option with a powerful engine. This will allow you to enjoy a versatile ride, haul cargo, tow equipment, and head out on family adventures. Fortunately, both vehicles come with the engines necessary to provide this type of driving experience.
Under the hood, the Blazer comes with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that will pump out 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the Traverse comes with a 3.6L V6 engine that produces 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.

These SUVs’ respective engines also come configured with Stop/Start technology. This will work to conserve fuel, contributing to the impressive fuel economy figures both vehicles earn.
The Blazer earns an EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG, while the Traverse earns an EPA-estimated 18 city/27 highway MPG.
When you’re heading out for a road trip, comfort is key. So is having enough space for your belongings. As SUVs, these vehicles both come with impressive amounts of space. However, there are some notable differences.
The most prominent difference between the Blazer and the Traverse in this area is seating capacity. The Blazer seats five riders, while the Traverse can seat up to eight thanks to its third row.
Depending on your needs, the third row may come in handy. However, if you don’t often see yourself driving with eight passengers, you might prefer the maneuverability of the Chevy Blazer.
You’ll also find a difference when it comes to cargo room. When all seats are in use, the Chevy Blazer comes with 30.5 cubic feet of cargo volume. Under the same conditions, the Traverse was designed with 23 cubic feet of cargo volume.
You can also opt to fold down the second-row seats in the Blazer and the second-/third-row seats in the Traverse to create more cargo volume. This will extend your cargo capacities to 64.2 cubic feet in the Blazer and 98.2 cubic feet in the Traverse.
From road trips to work commutes, every drive is accompanied by some sort of entertainment. Whether you’re listening to the radio or playing your favorite album, the technology inside the cabin is important.
These vehicles have proven to be somewhat different so far. However, they’ll prove quite similar when it comes to their technology features. The Traverse comes with the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System, while the Blazer has the standard Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system. Both will provide access to:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay™
- Wireless Android Auto™
- Bluetooth®
The main difference is in the standard touchscreen size. With the Blazer, you’ll find a standard 10.2-inch touch-screen, while the Traverse has a standard 7-inch display.
Additionally, both SUVs come with an innovative Teen Driver feature. This will be especially useful if you have inexperienced drivers in your household. You’ll be able to limit certain functionalities and track vehicle usage as they learn the rules of the road!
