In the world of subcompact SUVs, you have what feels like an infinite number of options. The 2025 Chevy Trailblazer and 2025 Hyundai Kona are both terrific choices. Let’s go through the features of each to figure out how they stack up.
VS.
The Trailblazer comes in four trim levels, ranging from the entry-level LS model to the top-of-the-line RS. The Kona comes in six configurations, from the wallet-friendly SE to the well-equipped Limited. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer one step up from the base trim level, so let’s take a look at the standard features of the 2025 Chevy Trailblazer LT versus the 2025 Hyundai Kona SEL.
The Trailblazer boasts a responsive ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine, delivering 155 hp and 174 lb-ft torque. 9-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive adds up to a ton of fun behind the wheel. With an estimated fuel economy of 26 MPG city / 29 MPG highway, the Trailblazer provides exceptional performance with nimble handling and good fuel efficiency.
The Kona has a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine under the hood for 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque. Featuring an intelligent variable transmission (IVT), front-wheel drive and an estimated 28 MPG city / 35 MPG highway (26 city / 29 highway with AWD), the Kona is also a respectable pick.
Overall, both the Trailblazer and Kona are very good performers in most circumstances.
The Chevy Trailblazer boasts an impressive array of safety features. Standard driver-assistance features include HD rear vision camera, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, following distance indicator, automatic emergency braking, and more.
The Hyundai Kona holds its own when considering safety. The Kona comes with a driver assist package that includes blind-spot collision-avoidance warning, rear cross-traffic and forward collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, electronic stability control, and more.
If you like a welcoming interior with modern amenities, you’ll probably like the Trailblazer. Behind its attractive exterior styling is a 6-way adjustable driver seat, 40/60 split-folding rear seat, 8-inch color driver information center, and more. The infotainment system features a 6-speaker audio system with amplifier, 11-inch HD color touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, and too many amenities to list here.
There is also plenty to like about the Kona’s interior. With 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, 60/40 fold-down seatback, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and cloth upholstery, the cabin is both comfortable and functional. HD Radio, SiriusXM, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and more add up to a nice enough infotainment setup.
Chevrolet is renowned for stylish, comfortable and capable vehicles. The 2025 Trailblazer lives up to the reputation. The 2025 Hyundai Kona is also a great choice. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Chevy Trailblazer can’t be beat.
