The Chevy Equinox and the Chevy Blazer: The Choice is Yours

Do you like having options when it's time to make a decision? Of course. But, when the options include your favorites, it can be hard. Pancakes or waffles? A Philly cheesesteak or NY-style pizza? A Chevy SUV or-a Chevy SUV? When two of your favorite items are up against each other, it can be harder to make a decision.

But, if you don't need two SUVs, you'll have to land on one eventually. And we'll give you everything you need to make the best decision at Schumacher Chevrolet of Clifton. Let the fun begin!

Exterior Design

Chevy Equinox

The Chevy Equinox brings an array of exterior styling options to its lineup. The RS trim features 19-inch Dark Android-painted aluminum wheels with alluring LED headlamps, a stylish Gloss Black mesh grill, and Black Ice accents bring the design full circle. The specialized Midnight Edition is a sleek and aggressive design including 18-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels, Black front and rear bowtie emblems, body-color mirror caps, and a mold-in-color Black grille. The Redline Edition rides on 19-inch wheels with Red accents and Black center caps, 19-inch all-season tires, a redline-specific Black grille, and Black Ice interior accents.

Chevy Blazer

The entry-level Chevy Blazer will bolster your road presence with standard 18-inch or upgraded 20-inch wheels. The Blazer's Redline Edition adds a set of black 20-inch wheels, a blacked-out grille with black trim, and a black roof. The enchanting balance of Red and Black makes this start-studded trim a top pick in this year's lineup. The Redline Edition also includes dynamic front fascia with LED headlamps. The new Chevy Blazer's color palette adds Fountain Blue, Sterling Gray, Copper Bronze, and Radiant Red.

Infotainment and Interior Design

Chevy Equinox

The Equinox's surprisingly spacious interior will make the commute in Paramus more enjoyable. Your cabin includes room for five 103.5 cubic feet of passenger volume, and a 60/40 split-folding seat provides 63.9 cubic feet of cargo room. Standard features include a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connections, and a subscription-based 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. If you purchase a higher trim like the Equinox Premiere, you'll have heated, jet-black perforated leather seats with memory for the front row, a heated steering wheel, and driver's seat memory settings.

Chevy Blazer

The base-level Chevy Blazer is available with cloth upholstery, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ compatibility. But the major draw is the immersive 10-inch infotainment touchscreen presented as an entry-level feature. The subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot allows in-cabin streaming and uninterrupted connectivity. So, while you wait for the kids to get out of practice, you can catch up on your favorite shows. The 60/40 split-folding second row creates additional storage with 64.2 cubic feet of max cargo room and 107.8 cubic feet of passenger volume. Trim or package upgrades include leather upholstery and power-adjustable seats for the front row with heated and ventilated technology.

Safety

Both vehicles are safeguarded by Chevy Safety Assistance technology. Entry-level models will have features like electronic stability control, lane departure warning, a rearview camera, seven airbags, and teen driver technology. You can upgrade your road awareness in Jersey City with features like blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and more.

Performance

Chevy Equinox

Keep the cash with the efficient Chevy Equinox. This SUV delivers an EPA-estimated 26/31 MPG city/highway. So your trips in Paterson or Bloomfield, NJ, will have fewer interruptions and efficiently get you to your destination.

All-wheel drive and StabiliTrak features combine to create a more secure journey.

Chevy Blazer

The turbocharged engine delivers 228 horsepower, while the V6 increases your pony power to 308. But while power favors the V6, fuel efficiency is with the 2.0L turbo. It has an EPA-estimated 22/29 MPG city/highway and the slightly more powerful V6 has an EPA-estimated 20/27 MPG city/highway.
