CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VS. TOYOTA COROLLA CROSS

The Toyota Corolla Cross is one of the more notable all-new models for 2022.

- 

It capitalizes on the popular Corolla nameplate and should attract shoppers looking for an entry-level crossover SUV. As with its rivals, the Corolla Cross boasts an elevated seating position and much of the utility of bigger SUVs but at a lower price. High fuel economy is a draw as well. But it is competing in an ultra-competitive small SUV division. Is this baby Toyota SUV a home run or just an infield single?

Experts compared it to the Chevrolet Trailblazer to find out. This small Chevy SUV debuted for the 2021 model year and also draws on some name heritage. It’s among the top-rated extra-small SUVs thanks to its roomy seating and plentiful features. Read on to learn which one is the better buy.

INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY

We appreciate the simplicity of the Trailblazer’s interior layout, especially in the center console. The forward angle of the screen is less than ideal, but the shape, resolution and intuitive controls are excellent. Toyota gave the Corolla Cross a perfectly capable interface, but it’s not as sharp-looking or responsive as the Trailblazer’s.
