Trailblazer vs. Renegade: Which compact SUV is best for your adventures?

Looking for a compact SUV that can follow you everywhere, from bustling city streets to the rugged trails of the Côte-Nord? Two models stand out: the 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer and the 2025 Jeep Renegade. Each has its strengths, but which one best meets your needs? Discover our detailed comparison and see why the Trailblazer is the ideal choice for adventurers in Sept-Îles!

Design & aesthetics

2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer: A bold style that stands out

With its dynamic and refined design, the 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer turns heads. Its sculpted grille, chrome accents, and optional two-tone roof give it a distinctive and modern look. Built for adventure, it offers ACTIV and RS versions, featuring 17 to 19-inch alloy wheels, a raised suspension, and a honeycomb grille, adding a touch of ruggedness and sportiness. Whether in the city or on the rugged roads of the Côte-Nord, the Trailblazer makes a statement with its bold look and versatility.

Jeep Renegade: A classic design staying true to Jeep’s DNA

The 2025 Jeep Renegade maintains Jeep’s signature design with its seven-slot grille and boxy lines. Its rugged and adventurous look pays tribute to Jeep’s off-road heritage but appears more conventional compared to the Trailblazer’s modern and bold aesthetic.

Performance & fuel efficiency

2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer: Power and efficiency combined

The 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer stands out with its ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine, delivering 174 lb-ft of torque for a dynamic and responsive drive. Its biggest advantage? An impressive fuel consumption of just 7.7L/100 km on the highway, making it the perfect choice for those seeking both performance and fuel economy.

2025 Jeep Renegade: More power, less efficiency

The 2025 Jeep Renegade, equipped with a 1.3L Turbo engine, offers higher torque at 210 lb-ft. However, this increased power results in higher fuel consumption, averaging 9L/100 km. Less fuel-efficient than the Trailblazer, the Renegade may require more frequent refueling, an important factor for long drives across the Côte-Nord.

Technology & connectivity

2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer: Advanced tech for a connected experience

The 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer is packed with modern technology, featuring a large 11-inch touchscreen for an intuitive and smooth interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure seamless smartphone integration, while the Bose® premium sound system transforms every trip into an immersive audio experience. Add a wireless charger, and you get an SUV that blends comfort with innovation.

2025 Jeep Renegade: More traditional tech

The 2025 Jeep Renegade comes with a smaller 8.4-inch screen, offering Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ but requiring a wired connection. Unlike the Trailblazer, it lacks a wireless charger and premium sound system, making it less tech-savvy for drivers seeking modern digital convenience.

Comfort & space

The Trailblazer provides more cargo space with flat-folding rear seats and a maximized trunk. With a roomier interior and optional heated seats, it's ideal for long road trips through the stunning landscapes of the Côte-Nord.

The Renegade also features foldable rear seats but offers less interior space than the Trailblazer.

Safety: Confidence on the road

The 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer prioritizes safety with Chevrolet Safety Assist as standard, offering a comprehensive suite of driver assistance features. This includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with departure warning, as well as adaptive cruise control and parking assistance on select trims. With ten airbags and a blind spot monitoring system, the Trailblazer ensures optimal protection, whether you're navigating city streets or tackling the demanding roads of the Côte-Nord.

The 2025 Jeep Renegade, while equipped with various safety systems, only offers some features as optional add-ons, such as emergency braking and lane departure warning. With fewer standard safety features than the Trailblazer, it may require additional investment to achieve the same level of security.
