Blazer vs Equinox: Size, Shape & Design

First and foremost, we want to point out that the 2022 Chevy Blazer and 2022 Chevy Equinox are in two different classes. The Blazer is a midsize SUV while the Equinox classifies as a compact SUV, meaning it’s a bit smaller in size. Let’s see how their exterior dimensions differ:

Chevy Equinox vs Chevy Blazer Exterior Dimensions
	Chevy Equinox	Chevy Blazer
Length	183.1 inches	191.4 inches
Width	72.6 inches	76.7 inches
Height	65.4 inches	67 inches

With their sizes in mind, your choice of SUV can depend on how often you drive in the city. For instance, if you work in a bustling city, and often have to parallel park, the Chevy Equinox’s nimbler frame may offer better maneuverability than the Blazer.

On the other hand, the Blazer’s wider and longer build may open up more cabin room for your neighborhood dog-walking service or for taking you and your daughter’s soccer teammates to their upcoming game.

Finding the Right Fit for Your Crew

Regardless of the Equinox and the Blazer’s exterior difference, both models can seat your party of five comfortably thanks to their ample wiggle room. Check out what the Blazer and the Equinox, respectively, offer inside the cabin:

2022 Chevy Blazer vs Chevy Equinox Passenger Dimensions
	Chevy Blazer	Chevy Equinox
Headroom (front/rear)	39.8/38.6 inches	40/38.5 inches
Legroom (front/rear)	41/39.6 inches	40.9/39.9 inches
Hip Room (front/rear)	55.6/54.2 inches	54.2/51.7 inches
Shoulder Room (front/rear)	59.1/58.6 inches	57.2/55.5 inches

Although their dimensions are very similar, the Blazer may offer slightly more room to passengers throughout the cabin thanks to its 107.8 cubic feet of passenger volume. On the other hand, the Equinox comes close with 103.5 cubic feet.

Blazer vs Equinox: Performance Specs

The biggest difference you’ll find between the 2022 Blazer and 2022 Equinox is their performance specs. Under the hood of the Blazer, you can find either of these engines:

• 2.0L Turbo Engine: 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
• 3.6L V6 Engine: 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.

When paired with the proper equipment, the Blazer can move up to 4,500 pounds of trailer equipment!

On the other hand, the Equinox only offers one powertrain—a 1.5L Turbo engine, which can pump out 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. While you won’t get as much towing capability as the Blazer, the Equinox can still pull up to 1,500 pounds! You’ll still be able to move the family jet-ski or snowmobile.

All-Terrain Abilities

One commonality between the Blazer and Equinox is their all-wheel capability. Both models can be equipped with advanced all-wheel drive systems that can take on any kind of driving conditions you encounter. Plus, this drivetrain will come in handy when the winter weather brings in white-out blizzards or ice storms.

Each model standardizes front-wheel drive, which can enhance these vehicles’ fuel efficiency!

Blazer vs Equinox: Technology Features

When it comes to technology, the Chevrolet Blazer and Chevrolet Equinox are nearly identical. For starters, both models come equipped with Chevy’s latest and most advanced infotainment system. This system comes complete with:

• Large touchscreen
• Bluetooth® wireless connectivity
• Available turn-by-turn navigation
• Available built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot

Both systems make it easy for you to connect your smartphone to the vehicle as well. The Chevy Equinox and the Chevy Blazer equip Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Wireless Android Auto™, which lets you cue up your favorite driving playlist, latest podcast, or a sci-fi audiobook with the push of a button or by voice command.

Upgrade Your Listening Experience

It’s no secret that the Equinox and the Blazer’s infotainment systems are very similar. But what if you could upgrade your listening experience and comfort with just a simple add-on?

The Chevy Equinox can equip the available RS Leather package, which not only adds perforated leather seating appointments, but it upgrades your sound system to a 7-speaker Bose® system! Every time you put on your power ballad playlist, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in the VIP box at a concert.

Although you can opt for similar features by themselves in the Blazer, you can’t add them on in a single package like the Equinox.

Equinox vs Blazer: Safety

SUVs are great vehicles for growing families, which means you probably prioritize standard safety. Well, behind the wheel of either the Chevy Equinox or the Chevy Blazer, you’re in great hands. Both models equip these five safety features on each of their available trim levels:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Following Distance Indicator
• Forward Collision Alert
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Not only will these driver-assistance features help you and your spouse get from Point A to Point B or anywhere in between safely, but the Teen Driver feature can give peace of mind to you and the newest driver in the fam.

For added assurance on the roadways, you can outfit the Blazer or the Equinox with these two available safety features:

• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
