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.

Whether you’re cruising down I-45 or heading off the grid, making sure your vehicle is road-trip ready is just as important as packing your sunscreen. At Pegasus Chevrolet, we’ve got your back with expert tips and services to keep your ride cool, safe, and adventure-ready.
Stay Cool—Inside and Under the Hood
Texas heat doesn’t mess around, and neither should your AC. If your cabin feels more like a sauna than a sanctuary, it might be time for a recharge or filter replacement. Weak airflow, funky smells, or lukewarm air are signs your system needs attention. Our certified techs can inspect and service your AC so you stay chill behind the wheel.
And don’t forget your engine—it hates overheating as much as you do. Coolant levels should be checked regularly, and a flush may be due depending on your vehicle’s age and mileage. We’ll also inspect hoses, the radiator, and the cooling fan to make sure everything’s leak-free and functioning properly.
Tire Check: Grip, Pressure, and Rotation
Hot pavement can be brutal on tires. Before you hit the road, check your tread depth using the penny test—if Lincoln’s head is fully visible, it’s time for replacements. Look out for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear.
Pro tip: rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles helps extend their life and improve handling. If you’re unsure, swing by Pegasus Chevrolet and we’ll take care of it.

Both offer modern tech, smart safety features, and versatile interiors—but they cater to different lifestyles. Let’s break down the key differences to help you find your perfect match.
Performance & Powertrain
- Trax: Powered by a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, the Trax delivers 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive—ideal for city driving and fuel efficiency.
- Equinox: The Equinox steps up with a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder producing 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard with a CVT for smooth acceleration, while all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic are available for added capability.
Interior Dimensions & Cargo Space
- Trax: Offers 41.9 inches of front legroom and 25.6 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the second row. Fold the seats down and you’ll get up to 54.1 cu. ft.—plenty for weekend getaways.
- Equinox: Rear passengers get a bit more room, with 39.9 inches of legroom and 29.8 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the second row. Fold those seats flat and you’ll unlock 63.5 cu. ft. for larger hauls.
How to Maintain Your Chevy Silverado in Texas Heat: Tips from Pegasus Chevrolet in Ennis, TX
Living in Texas comes with its own set of challenges, and taking care of your Chevy Silverado in the intense heat is no exception. At Pegasus Chevrolet, located right here in Ennis, TX, we know how important it is to keep your Silverado running smoothly, even when temperatures soar. With a little planning, the right maintenance steps, and professional care, you can keep your truck performing at its best all summer long. Let’s dive into how you can beat the Texas heat and keep your Silverado protected.

Will Tariffs Affect Chevrolet Prices at Pegasus Chevrolet in Ennis, TX? Here’s What You Need to Know
At Pegasus Chevrolet in Ennis, TX, we know that buying a new car is a big decision. As you consider your options, you might have heard about tariffs and how they could affect car prices in the U.S. While tariffs on imported cars have been a hot topic, the good news is that Chevrolet has been working hard to mitigate the impact of these changes on its prices. Here’s a breakdown of how tariffs might impact the cost of your next Chevrolet vehicle and what you can do to avoid higher prices.
What Are Car Tariffs and How Do They Affect Prices?
A tariff is a tax imposed by the government on goods being imported into the country. In the case of Chevrolet, tariffs mainly affect imported cars and parts that come from overseas production plants. For cars made in other countries, like certain Chevrolet models, the price could increase due to the tariff.
However, Chevrolet has a strong presence in the U.S. with multiple manufacturing plants, which means many of its popular models are made right here in America. This helps Pegasus Chevrolet keep prices stable for vehicles that are produced locally.
Which Chevy Models at Pegasus Chevrolet Could Be Affected by Tariffs?
While Chevrolet builds many of its vehicles right here in the U.S., there are still some models that come from overseas and could be impacted by tariffs. For instance:
- Chevrolet Bolt EV – The fully electric Chevy Bolt is made in South Korea, so it could be subject to tariffs.
- Chevrolet Equinox & Traverse – These models are primarily produced in Canada, so some tariffs may apply here as well.
However, popular Chevrolet trucks like the Chevy Silverado and Chevy Colorado, as well as models like the Chevy Malibu and Chevy Tahoe, are primarily manufactured in the U.S., meaning they’re not likely to be affected by tariffs on imported cars.
How Do Tariffs Affect Car Prices?
When the government imposes tariffs on imported cars, it can increase the overall cost of vehicles. This means some Chevrolet models that rely on foreign-made parts or are produced outside the U.S. could see an increase in price. However, Chevrolet manufactures many of its cars right here in the U.S., which means that for Chevrolet buyers at Pegasus Chevrolet, many of your favorite models may not be affected by tariff increases.
For vehicles that are impacted by tariffs, the price increase might be small, but it’s still worth keeping an eye on. As a consumer, knowing how tariffs work can help you make an informed decision when purchasing your next car.
