SUVs are known for their versatility in all scenarios, especially when taking on Mother Nature’s playground. The Chevy Blazer and the Hyundai Kona are both popular models for a reason. With powerful engines, they can take on any road.
Both the Chevy Blazer and the Hyundai Kona can energize your travels with their two available engines, but which SUV offers more power under the hood? Let’s explore their standards engines first:
- Chevy Blazer: 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine with 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque
- Hyundai Kona: 2.0L engine with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque
If you’re sticking to the basics, then the Chevy Blazer will prove to be more efficient for your drives. Of course, both models also have available engines.
The Chevy Blazer can be equipped with an available 3.6L engine, while the Hyundai Kona offers a 1.6L turbo engine. Let’s see how they compete:
- Chevy Blazer available engine: 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque
- Hyundai Kona available engine: 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque
As you can see, the Blazer offers more power than the Kona, which means you’ll experience quicker acceleration and be able to tow cargo easier. In fact, the Chevy can tow up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped, whereas the Hyundai Kona isn’t designed for towing.
Whether you’re tackling a long stint of highway or simply riding around town, both the Chevy Blazer and the Hyundai Kona make your travels sure-footed. Which model has the better safety features, though? Let's take a look.
You’ll find standard safety suites in both SUVs, which include similar features such as:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Available Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
These driver-assistance features will help make sure you get from Point A to Point B safely.
However, the Blazer offers a couple systems that keep drivers focused and in tune with their rides. Those features are:
- Teen Driver- By limiting certain vehicle functions and automatically turning on safety systems, this feature will make your newly licensed driver more confident on the road.
- Available Safety Alert Seat- Via seat vibrations, drivers will be alerted to the direction of a potential accident so they can take action.
Unfortunately, the Hyundai Kona goes without either feature that can help give drivers added peace of mind no matter where they go.
No matter if you need space for spontaneous shopping sprees, your growing family, or your boisterous dogs, both the Chevy Blazer and the Hyundai Kona offer spacious interiors to accommodate your cargo or crew.
To better visualize which model offers more cabin space and versatility, let’s look at their exterior dimensions first:

|
|
---|---|---|
Length | 191.4 inches | 165.6 inches |
Width | 76.7 inches | 70.9 inches |
Height | 67 inches | 61 inches |
As you can see, the Chevy Blazer is much bigger in all categories than the Hyundai Kona, which means you’ll find extended cargo and passenger room in the Blazer.
How much extended cargo and passenger room does the Blazer offer? Let’s explore the Chevy’s interior dimensions:
- Cargo Capacity (behind first row/behind second row): 64.2/30.5 cubic feet
- Passenger Space: 107.8 cubic feet
In comparison, the Hyundai Kona offers this much space for your passengers and your gear:
- Cargo Capacity (behind first row/behind second row): 45.8/19.2 cubic feet
- Passenger Space: 94.1 cubic feet
Not only do the Chevy Blazer’s larger dimensions mean you’ll have more wiggle room for your crew and your equipment, but it also may be better suited for taller drivers and passengers or cargo that needs more room to sit or fit comfortably.
With plenty of benefits in both SUVs, we’re here to help you choose between the two models. Thanks to its generous power output, preventative safety, and larger interior space, we believe the 2022 Chevy Blazer deserves the winner’s title.
