2025 Honda HR-V vs. 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer: A Head-to-Head Comparison

When shopping for a quality subcompact SUV, the key factors often come down to fuel efficiency, safety, and interior comfort. While both the 2025 Honda HR-V and the 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer offer similar performance, they differ in many important ways. Here's our comparison to help you make the right choice.

Style Showdown

This is where the two SUVs go head-to-head. On one side, the 2025 Honda HR-V delivers a sleek, sporty design with only minor cosmetic updates from the 2024 model. On the other, the Chevrolet Trailblazer features a bolder grille and more striking rear lights. Both SUVs offer four trims in Quebec.

Cargo Space & Passenger Comfort

Both models are family-friendly, offering comparable cargo capacity for five passengers. However, the HR-V stands out with more standard features, such as heated front seats and a heated steering wheel on select trims. Overall, the HR-V wins the comfort round with a more user-friendly 7- to 9-inch touchscreen, compared to the Trailblazer’s 11-inch display, which can feel less intuitive.

Power & Fuel Efficiency

You’re probably not buying a family SUV to hit the racetrack. The HR-V offers slightly more horsepower, while the Trailblazer delivers more torque. According to manufacturer specs, both vehicles offer similar highway fuel consumption. The verdict? You’ll get similar savings at the pump with either vehicle.
