2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer vs. the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross: How Do the Compact SUVs Stack Up?

It's not uncommon for people to ask us who would win in a Chevrolet Trailblazer vs Toyota Corolla Cross competition. While they're both great compact SUVs, there are several areas where the Chevy SUV really shines. We're diving into all the details at Gillman Chevrolet Harlingen.

Cutting-Edge Technology

These compact SUVs both feature high-tech interiors, with innovative technology such as wireless smartphone integration, SiriusXM® satellite radio, and optional premium sound systems included. The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer, however, features a large 11-inch HD color touchscreen as standard, while the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross has a smaller eight-inch touchscreen or an available 10.5-inch screen. It also features unique features such as OnStar capabilities, which aren't offered in the Toyota SUV.

Comfortable Cabin Space

There are advanced amenities available in each of these five-passenger cabins, such as heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The 2026 Chevy Trailblazer takes it up a notch by coming standard with thoughtful features such as active noise cancellation. It also provides extra space for passengers to stretch out, with 98.2 cubic feet of passenger volume, compared to only 94.9 cubic feet in the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross. That extra space includes a whopping seven extra inches of rear legroom.

Versatile Cargo Area

It's no secret that new Chevy SUVs are versatile, and the 2026 Chevy Trailblazer is no exception. It features a large 25.3 cubic-foot cargo area behind the rear seats, which can easily be amplified by folding the 40/60 split-folding rear bench seat down. You can even fold the front passenger seat flat to carry objects up to 8.5 feet long. With the rear seats folded down, the cargo area is substantially larger in the Chevy SUV, which can carry up to 54.4 cubic feet of cargo. The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross, on the other hand, can only carry up to 46.9 cubic feet of cargo.
