When shopping subcompact SUVs, you have near-endless options to choose from. The 2025 Chevy Trailblazer and 2025 Kia Seltos are both sound picks. Let’s dig into the pluses and minuses of each to determine how they compare.
VS.
The Trailblazer comes in four trims, ranging from the economical LS model to the well-appointed RS. The Seltos comes in five trim levels, from the wallet-friendly LX to the fully-equipped SX. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer somewhere in the middle, so let’s review the standard features of the 2025 Chevy Trailblazer LT versus the 2025 Kia Seltos EX.
The Trailblazer boasts a sporty ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine, delivering 155 hp and 174 lb-ft torque. 9-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive gives you responsive performance with intuitive handling and control. With an estimated fuel economy of 26 MPG city / 29 MPG highway, the Trailblazer strikes a good balance between power and efficiency.
The Seltos has a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine under the hood for 146 hp and 132 lb-ft torque. Featuring an intelligent variable transmission (IVT), front-wheel drive and an estimated 28 MPG city / 34 MPG highway (27 city / 31 highway with AWD), the Seltos is also a practical pick.
On the whole, both the Trailblazer and Seltos are solid performers in most environments.
The Chevy Trailblazer has an impressive bundle 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 Kia Seltos also delivers in terms of safety. The Seltos comes with a driver assist package that includes blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic and forward collision avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, and more.
If you like a welcoming interior with thoughtful features, you’ll probably like the Trailblazer. Step inside to discover 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 everything you need to feel at home behind the wheel.
Most drivers won’t be disappointed by the Seltos’s interior. With automatic climate control, 10-way power-adjustable driver seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more, the cabin is both comfortable and functional. 6-speaker audio, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and more comprise a serviceable infotainment setup.
Chevrolet is celebrated for stylish, comfortable and capable vehicles. The 2025 Trailblazer lives up to the reputation. The 2025 Kia Seltos is also very well equipped. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Chevy Trailblazer wins this matchup.
