Get the Versatility You Need

The Chevrolet Trax is a better fit for everyday commuters who want to cut down on their automotive costs. This is thanks to its affordable trim options.

The Blazer is offered in six unique trims, with the base model L starting at $29,995. The Chevy Trax offers three trims, with the base model LS starting at $22,295. For everyday commuting, the Trax might be a better fit; however, the Blazer makes it easy to get more power and comfort options as you climb the higher trim levels.
