2025 Hyundai Kona vs Chevrolet Trailblazer in Brandon, MB

The 2025 Hyundai Kona is the sporty subcompact SUV perfect for urban driving. It’s stylish and full of personality, and ready to hit the streets. How does it compare to other subcompact SUVs on the market, though? Can it hold its own against Chevrolet’s latest Trailblazer? That’s what the team here at Fowler Hyundai decided to find out, as we pit these two subcompacts against each other to see which one has the edge.

Power

Just because you’re in the market for a subcompact SUV doesn’t mean you want to sacrifice power. The 2025 Hyundai Kona comes standard with a capable 2.0L MPI 4-cylinder engine, able to output 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. If you want some serious power, though, you can opt for the 190 horsepower 1.6L GDI turbocharged engine, with 195 lb.-ft. of torque. The Chevrolet Trailblazer, meanwhile, comes with only one engine, a 1.3L Turbo engine, which generates 155 horsepower and 174 lb.-ft. of torque.

Economy

Not only does the 2025 Kona offer a more potent engine option, it also has better fuel economy than the Chevrolet Trailblazer. In the city the Trailblazer gets marginally better efficiency, at 7.9L/100km, compared to the Hyundai Kona’s 8.1L/100km. On the highway, though, it gets a dismal 7.5L/100km compared to the Kona’s 6.9L/100km. The Kona is just a more efficient vehicle overall.

Space

A subcompact SUV doesn’t need to feel small, and the 2025 Hyundai Kona is nice and spacious. The Chevrolet Trailblazer offers less overall front legroom, and less cargo space, with just 716 L behind the rear seats, and 1,540 L overall with the seats folded down. The more spacious Kona, meantime, has 723 L in the rear cargo area, and a much more impressive 1,803 L of maximum space with all the seats folded down.
