Choosing the right SUV for your family means balancing space, performance, and technology. At Pegasus Chevrolet in Ennis, TX, we help drivers find vehicles that match their lifestyle—not just their driveway. The 2025 Chevy Traverse and 2025 Chevy Blazer are two standout options in the midsize SUV segment, each offering distinct advantages depending on your priorities.
Performance and Capability
The 2025 Traverse is built for families who need power and flexibility. Every model is equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Traverse offers confident acceleration and smooth shifting. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is available across the lineup. For those who venture off the beaten path, the Z71 trim adds all-terrain tires, a unique suspension setup, and standard AWD for enhanced trail capability.
The 2025 Blazer offers two engine choices: a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four with 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, or a 3.6-liter V6 delivering 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. While the Blazer isn’t designed for heavy-duty towing, the V6-equipped models can handle up to 4,500 pounds—ideal for small trailers or recreational gear.
Seating and Cargo Space
Families needing maximum passenger capacity will appreciate the Traverse’s three-row layout. It seats seven by default, with an available eight-passenger configuration. Second-row captain’s chairs slide forward electronically for easy access to the third row. Legroom is generous: 44.3 inches in the front, 41.5 inches in the second row, and 32.1 inches in the third. Behind the third row, you’ll find 22.9 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to nearly 98 cubic feet with all rear seats folded.
The Blazer is a two-row SUV designed for smaller families or couples who prioritize style and agility. It offers 41 inches of front legroom and nearly 40 inches in the rear. Cargo space starts at 30.5 cubic feet and grows to 64.2 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded flat. Both models offer a hands-free power liftgate, standard on the Traverse and available on the Blazer, making it easier to load groceries or gear when your hands are full.
Interior Features and Technology
Inside the Traverse, comfort and convenience take center stage. Standard features include tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, multiple USB ports, and a wireless charging pad. Higher trims offer ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and active noise cancellation for a quieter cabin. The Traverse also debuts a 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in, allowing access to navigation, apps, and voice commands without needing a smartphone connection.
The Blazer features a sportier, driver-focused interior with a 10.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available upgrades like a Bose premium sound system. Dual-zone climate control and heated front seats are standard, while ventilated seats and wireless charging are optional. Both SUVs include an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot to keep passengers connected on the go.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is a priority in both models. The Traverse includes advanced driver assistance features such as automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and available Super Cruise hands-free driving on select trims. Additional options include HD Surround Vision and rear pedestrian alert for added awareness in busy environments.
The Blazer comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes forward collision alert, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking. Available features like rear cross traffic alert and blind zone monitoring enhance visibility and confidence behind the wheel.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Chevy Traverse is ideal for larger families who need three rows of seating, generous cargo space, and advanced tech for long trips or daily routines. The 2025 Chevy Blazer suits drivers looking for a stylish, two-row SUV with sporty handling and modern connectivity.
