Interior Comparison

The 2023 Blazer and 2023 Edge can carry up to five adults on comfortable, leather-trimmed seats if you desire. Of course, the sportier shape of the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer leads to a slight decrease in cabin space, but it’s barely noticeable. The Blazer's cabin looks newer, while the Edge's interior design is starting to show its age.

In terms of cargo space, the Edge can accommodate up to 73.4 cubic feet, but the Blazer can still handle 64.2 cubic feet despite the sportier design of the rear quarters.

Both SUVs come with dual-zone automatic climate control and cruise control. They also offer touch-screen infotainment systems with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, as well as onboard hands-free communications systems.

The 2023 Blazer comes with a standard powered driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment, which is optional on the 2023 Edge.

Performance Comparison

The 2023 Blazer comes with a choice of a 228 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a 308 horsepower V6. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard. Front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive variants are available, with front-wheel-drive variants offering better fuel economy.

The 2023 Edge is also available with two engines. Buyers can pick a 250 horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, or a 335 horsepower 2.7-liter, turbocharged EcoBoost V6. However, the transmission options are a seven-speed or eight-speed automatic, depending on engine trim. The 2023 Edge only comes in all-wheel drive, which also affects fuel economy as a result.

Safety Features Comparison

The 2023 Blazer and 2023 Edge come with a long list of standard features, including at least six airbags, stability control, automatic headlamps, and lane departure warning. However, the Blazer also offers brake assist, blind spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, and front collision mitigation as an option, while the Edge does not.
