These two SUVs match up closely with each other and their competitors, such as the Ford Edge, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Murano, and Subaru Outback.
They’re similarly priced, available with front- or all-wheel drive, and have a V6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission (although the Blazer comes standard with a turbo four-cylinder engine). Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, leading consumers to ask, how well do they match up? Which is more fuel-efficient? Which one has more interior space and cargo capacity?
To help streamline that process, we took an in-depth look at these two models by comparing how they fared in Consumer Reports’ testing and surveys. Now we give you guidance on how to choose the one that could be right for you.
