What is the combined MPG of the Chevrolet Trailblazer?

Combined MPG: 31

The Chevrolet Trailblazer perfectly blends rugged, adventurous styling with the exceptional fuel efficiency of a subcompact crossover. Achieving a stellar 31 combined MPG, the Trailblazer proves you can enjoy elevated ride height, excellent visibility, and the utility of an SUV without draining your wallet at the gas station.

• Engine Specs: Available 1.3-liter ECOTEC turbocharged 3-cylinder engine

• Performance: Up to 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque

• Drivetrain Efficiency: The peak 31 combined MPG is achieved in the standard Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) configuration.

Chevrolet maximizes the Trailblazer’s fuel economy by utilizing smaller displacement 3-cylinder engines equipped with advanced turbochargers. This specific setup provides the necessary low-end torque for quick, confident city acceleration while sipping fuel during highway travel (hitting an EPA-estimated 33 MPG on the highway). It is worth noting that opting for the available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system will slightly lower the combined fuel economy to around 27 MPG due to the added weight and mechanical drag. However, for drivers who stick to the standard FWD setup, the Trailblazer offers massive versatility, a sporty two-tone roof option, and fold-flat seating for impressive cargo volume.

How fuel-efficient is the Chevrolet Trax?

Combined MPG: 30

The completely redesigned Chevrolet Trax has taken the entry-level compact SUV market by storm. It offers aggressive, head-turning styling, vastly improved passenger space over its predecessor, and a highly respectable 30 combined MPG, making it one of the most compelling value propositions in the automotive industry today.

• Engine Specs: Standard 1.2-liter ECOTEC turbocharged 3-cylinder engine

• Performance: 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque

• Transmission: 6-speed automatic transmission

• Drivetrain: Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) only

Unlike many modern, hyper-efficient vehicles that rely on a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the Trax utilizes a traditional 6-speed automatic transmission. This provides a familiar, stepped-shifting driving experience while still maintaining excellent gas mileage (up to 32 MPG on the highway). To keep the vehicle lightweight and highly affordable, Chevrolet offers the Trax exclusively in a Front-Wheel Drive configuration. By skipping heavy all-wheel-drive components, the Trax maximizes every drop of fuel. Designed with a wider, athletic stance and a tech-forward cabin featuring standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Trax is the ultimate entry-level crossover.

What is the fuel economy of the Chevrolet Equinox?

Combined MPG: 27

As a staple in the compact SUV segment, the Chevrolet Equinox delivers a highly practical 27 combined MPG. It is the ideal step up for active drivers who need significantly more interior volume and cargo space than the Trax or Trailblazer, but still want to maintain a highly efficient, budget-friendly daily commute.

• Engine Specs: Standard 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine

• Performance: 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque

• Transmission: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for FWD models

• Drivetrain Efficiency: Achieves 27 combined MPG in standard FWD, and 26 combined MPG with available AWD.

The Equinox achieves its solid fuel economy by pairing its punchy 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a smoothly calibrated CVT on standard front-wheel-drive models. This allows the Equinox to hit an EPA-estimated 28 MPG on the highway while providing enough torque to confidently merge onto fast-paced interstates or tow up to 1,500 pounds. For buyers who prioritize all-weather capability, the available All-Wheel Drive setup swaps in an 8-speed automatic transmission and still manages to retain an excellent 26 combined MPG. With its spacious, tech-forward interior and advanced Chevy Safety Assist suite, the Equinox remains a smart, well-rounded choice for modern families.
