Living in Centennial, Aurora, or Denver, CO, means adventure waits around every corner. Whether you’re ready to check a lengthy hiking trail off your bucket list or amping up for a day’s worth of kayaking, you’re probably looking for a vehicle that can keep up with your active lifestyle.
Our team at Mile High Honda has two energetic models in mind: the Honda HR-V and the Chevy Trailblazer. Both these sporty crossover SUVs offer generous power without compromising on space. Which one is better for you, though? Find out in our Honda HR-V vs. Chevy Trailblazer comparison below.

Your next adventure could be camping under the stars or it could be spending hours fishing on a pond. While both activities are outdoors, they require different equipment, and they attract different friends and family members. Regardless of where you’re headed, the Honda HR-V and the Chevy Trailblazer can accommodate your crew.
Let’s get real—adventure sure draws a crowd. No matter if your destination is on land or on water, we’re confident the Honda HR-V and the Chevy Trailblazer will suit your crew comfortably. Both models can seat five people, but which one offers more space to kick back and relax? Let’s find out:
|
Honda HR-V
|
Chevy Trailblazer
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Headroom (front/rear) | 39.4 in./38 in. | 40 in./38.4 in. |
| Legroom (front/rear) | 41.9 in./37.7 in. | 40.9 in./39.4 in. |
| Hip room (front/rear) | 54 in./47.4 in. | 52.3 in./50.3 in. |
| Shoulder room (front/rear) | 56.6 in./55.2 in. | 55.4 in./53.8 in. |
Taking a look at their dimensions, both models are neck and neck in terms of passenger space. Overall, the HR-V offers 98.7 cubic feet of passenger room, while the Trailblazer falls behind with 98.2 cubic feet. So, if you need to accommodate tall or small adventurers, both SUVs can offer spatial versatility.
Your next adventure comes with designated equipment. Whether it be a kayak, two bikes, a cooler, or sleeping bags, the Honda HR-V and the Chevy Trailblazer are designed with your cargo in mind. Thanks to a unique second row feature in the Honda, you’re able to fit your thin or bulky equipment in the cabin with ease.
Do you have a solo mountain biking trip to go on? Sounds like you’ll need room for your bike, helmet, backpack, and post-ride snacks. Fortunately, the Honda HR-V offers plenty of it!
- 2WD HR-V Cargo Space (seats up/seats down): 24.4 cubic feet/55.1 cubic feet
On the other hand, you’ll have 54.4 cubic feet of space when all rear seats are down and 25.3 cubic feet in the trunk of the Trailblazer. Although the difference is slight, the HR-V takes the lead with 55.1 cubic feet of space for your cargo.
You want to be prepared for your next adventure, and thanks to available cargo accessories in either model, you can do just that! The HR-V and the Trailblazer can both add cargo covers to their trunk spaces to hide valuables and to protect items from UV rays.
While both models equip some type of cargo tray or liner to protect the trunk floor, the Honda takes trunk protection a step farther with its available seat back protectors! The back of the second row features a durable material that is scuff and dirt resistant. The Chevy goes without a comparable feature.
Ready to stay safe no matter where you’re headed? Meet Honda Sensing® and Chevy Safety Assist. These two safety suites are built into the Honda HR-V and the Chevy Trailblazer so you can always feel confident traveling on new paths or routine routes.
When it comes to safety, the Honda HR-V and the Chevy Trailblazer have got you covered. Their multi-feature safety suites can add peace of mind to your routine routes or to your exciting excursions. Plus, they have similar features in mind, such as:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
- Multi-Angle Rearview Camera
Which model can keep you in tune with what’s going on around you, though? The Honda HR-V!
A part of Honda Sensing® is standard Traffic Jam Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition System. These two features are unique to the HR-V, and they can provide protection on crowded highways or keep you informed on set speed limits.
While the Trailblazer’s safety suite will protect you on all routes, the HR-V's extended safety functions similarly and keeps you in the loop on what’s ahead.
The Honda HR-V and the Chevy Trailblazer are excellent adventure companions. However, thanks to its greater passenger room and cargo space, convenient seating feature, and intelligent safety features, we believe the HR-V is the one for your Centennial, Aurora, and Denver, CO, excursions.
