The 2025 Chevy Trailblazer vs. The Mazda CX-30

Compare the Chevy Trailblazer with the Mazda CX-30

There's stiff competition in the world of small SUVs-and Chevy is front and center with the Chevy Trailblazer. We've got our new 2026 models rolling out here at Schumacher Chevrolet of Clifton. However, there's a little bit of competition for your affection by the Mazda CX-30. We'll give you a quick comparison of the two so you can see how the Chevy Trailblazer stacks up against a rival SUV.

Exterior Design

Chevy Trailblazer

The new Chevy Trailblazer features LED lights, seductive character lines, beefy fender flares, and a dazzling front grille that denotes a fancy aggression that only Chevy can capture. While those standard features are appealing enough, the sporty RS offers a high-gloss Black mesh grille with RS badging and 19-inch high-gloss Black machined aluminum wheels. You can stand out from the crowd in Paramus even more with the available two-tone body/roof combination.

Mazda CX-30

The Mazda CX-30 is straightforward. No glitz or glamor-and for those who aren't looking for much on the exterior, the Mazda CX-30 is perfect. The angular front hood and rich, Black Mazda grille hang the Mazda emblem top front and center. Charismatic LED daytime running lights encapsulate the front end, while available LED lights can bring more appeal to the rear end. Upgrading to a higher trim level will feature a Black accented grille, durable black roof rails, and 18-inch wheels.

Interior Design and Technology

Chevy Trailblazer

The Trailblazer has no problem fitting five passengers inside the cabin. The standard 8.5-foot max cargo length creates a versatile cargo area-and when you add the hands-free liftgate, loading and unloading in Bloomfield, NJ, is even easier. Cloth seats are standard, but upgrading to a higher trim will unlock EvoTex upholstery. The 11-inch diagonal color touchscreen is included with every trim along with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for near-instant smartphone connections.

Mazda CX-30

The Mazda CX-30 makes way for five passengers with cloth-trimmed sport seats for entry-level models. Climbing halfway up the trim ladder will provide leatherette or Terracotta leather-trimmed sport seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heated front seats. The 8.8-inch infotainment screen is small but decent enough to view your connected Apple or Android device. The larger 10.25-inch display and in-cabin navigation are available on top-of-the-line trims.

Fuel Economy and Performance

Chevy Trailblazer

Each Chevy Trailblazer is powered by a 1.3-liter turbo engine with an EPA-estimated 29/33 MPG city/highway. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is the standard, but you can opt for all-wheel drive (AWD) to have more control over the snow/sleet during winter in Jersey City. The capability to trek through mud, snow, and rain improves with the ACTIV trim-this model includes off-road suspension tuning, a functional skid plate, three drive modes, and dual-outlet exhaust with trapezoidal polished tips.

Mazda CX-30

The Mazda CX-30 provides one of two engines for its powertrain. Lower trim levels are powered via the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 DOHC 4-cylinder engine that offers an EPA-estimated 26/33 MPG city/highway. There's another option with more power-an available Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine with an EPA-estimated 22/30 MPG city/highway and up to 250 horsepower.
