Chevy Trailblazer vs Kia Soul

The 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer is one of the more stylish and enjoyable crossovers for customers on sale today. When compared to rivals in its segment, buyers typically appreciate the level of quality and comfort, as well as packages and options that are reasonably priced, even on lower trim levels.  

A KBB Comparison Review

Kelley Blue Book, one of the most trusted names in vehicle values, recently took a Chevy Trailblazer and Kia Soul and put them against one another. What they found was that the Chevy, despite having a slightly higher base price, was a great crossover for those who need something with space while maintaining excellent driving dynamics and impressive fuel economy. 

Safety Features

When looking at safety features, KBB said, “Just because it doesn’t cost a bundle of cash doesn’t mean this small Chevy SUV is stingy on safety equipment. The Chevrolet Safety Assist suite of driver aids is standard. It includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights.”

Pricing & Trim Levels

With a starting price of just $24,395, buyers can choose from 4 different trim levels, including the LS, LT, RS, and ACTIV.

Engines & Power

The Trailblazer is available with two different engine choices: a 1.2-liter turbocharged inline-3 producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque or a turbocharged 1.3-liter 3-cylinder that makes 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. Both engines help the Trailblazer to be nimble on its feet and fuel efficient. The EPA estimates that the 1.2-liter models will get 28 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, while the 1.3-liter can get 29 city and 33 highway miles per gallon. The LS and LT models come standard with the 1.2 and front-wheel drive. However, they can be optioned with the 1.3 and all-wheel drive, which is standard on the RS and ACTIV trim levels. 

Impressive Infotainment

Kelley Blue Book also called the Chevy crossover’s infotainment impressive, saying, “For the 2024 model year, Chevrolet equips every Trailblazer with an 11-inch touchscreen. Attractive and a breeze to use while driving, this system comes with niceties like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also comes with an equally handsome and user-friendly 8-inch digital instrument cluster.”
