If you're in the market for a stylish and capable compact SUV in the Denville area, you've got to check out the head-turning new Chevy Trailblazer. While the Mazda CX-5 is a popular pick, here's why we think the Trailblazer comes out on top when you compare them side by side.
Exterior Design: Trailblazer Turns Heads
Trailblazer's Rugged Good Looks
From the first glance, it's clear the Trailblazer is a standout. Its bold, sporty design looks great while cruising the streets of Parsippany. Angular lines, a distinctive front grille, and striking LED signature lighting make a strong impression. A wide stance, athletic body sculpting, and available two-tone roof give it a muscular, adventurous vibe you'll love showing off around Dover, NJ.
The CX-5's Tamed Design
In comparison, the Mazda CX-5, while handsome, has a tamer look that tends to blend in with the crowd in Morristown, NJ. It's missing some of those eye-catching design elements that make the Trailblazer so attention-grabbing.
Interior Design: Upscale Meets Spacious
Trailblazer's Refined Interior
High-quality materials, like available leather-appointed seating and satin chrome accents, give the Trailblazer an upscale vibe you might not expect at this price point. Generous passenger space means you can comfortably seat five and still have 25 cubic feet left over for gear. That's more than the CX-5 offers.
The CX-5's Nice But Tighter Cabin
While the CX-5's interior is certainly pleasant, with some nice soft-touch surfaces, it doesn't quite match the Trailblazer's near-luxury feel. Passenger and cargo space is also a bit tighter, which could cramp your style on weekend getaways to Montville.
Technology and Safety: Trailblazer Takes the Lead
Trailblazer's Impressive Tech Package
Even at the base trim, you'll get an 11-inch touch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™-- two must-have features in todays society. There's also standard lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision alert to watch your back. Moving up the line, you can add adaptive cruise control and an HD rear camera to a robust Chevy Safety Assist package.
The CX-5's Behind-the-Curve Features
Meanwhile, the CX-5 comes standard with a smaller 10.25-inch display—but get this, Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ aren't available on lower trim levels. Many advanced driver safety aids also require a costly options package, but it comes with standout features like blind spot monitoring and a 360-degree view monitor. The Trailblazer simply gives you more for your money in terms of tech and safety.
Schumacher Chevrolet of Denville
To sum up our case, the new Chevy Trailblazer has the edge over the Mazda CX-5 in the looks, comfort, and technology departments. See for yourself by browsing the Trailblazer lineup and taking one for a spin. Trust us - from one friend to another - you won't be disappointed!
