Both models sport a spacious interior despite their compact design. There’s seating for five in both, but you’ll have more room to stretch out in the 2022 Trailblazer. It offers 40 inches of front headroom and another 38.4 inches in the back. The Kona, on the other hand, only offers 39.6 inches of front headroom and 37.8 inches of rear headroom.
The cabins in both models are supremely comfortable, so you can relax on trips, both long and short. They’ll accommodate you with these available amenities:
- Power-adjustable driver’s seat
- Leather-wrapped shift knob
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Panoramic power sunroof
The Chevy Trailblazer is the clear winner in the cargo department. It offers a hands-free power liftgate for easy packing when your hands are full. The Kona doesn’t offer a similar feature. The Trailblazer also boasts an impressive 54.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. The Kona is maxed out at just 45.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo space.
Both SUVs are packed with smart technology that empowers every part of your drive. It all starts on the inside with their infotainment systems. Both models are available with an 8-inch touchscreen display, which gives you access to shared features, including:
- Bluetooth®
- Apple CarPlay™
- Android Auto™
- SiriusXM®
You’ll also have the peace of mind that comes with intuitive safety features, such as Forward Collision Alert and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. They’ll help you be more aware of the road around you, so you can take on new challenges with confidence.
Teen Driver is one system that you’ll only get with the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer. It makes this compact SUV a great choice for families and new drivers. When your teen’s key fob is in use, this system automatically limits certain vehicle functions to encourage better driving habits. You can even examine the in-vehicle report card when they get home.
You can choose between two engines with either SUV, so powering your adventure your way is easy. If you need more standard oomph, you’ll want to choose the 2022 Trailblazer. Its 1.2L Turbo engine generates 162 lb-ft of torque, while the standard 2.0L inline 4-cylinder of the Kona is only capable of 132 lb-ft of torque.
Both SUVs also offer selectable drive modes that let you personalize their performance. The Trailblazer comes with three modes, which are:
- Normal
- All-Wheel Drive
- Sport
When the streets get slick or you find yourself exploring an off-road trail, the all-wheel drive system—available with either model—will come in handy. The system monitors all four wheels and adjusts the power output to provide optimal traction in less-than-ideal conditions.
The contest is a close call, but if your drives around New Hudson, Detroit, and Westland, MI call for a safe, innovative, and spacious SUV, the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer is for you.
