Whether you’re heading into rush hour traffic or you’re hitting the open road, the Chevy Blazer and the Honda CR-V will get you to your destination with gusto. However, the Chevy model’s name is indicative of its powerhouse engines:

• 2.0L Turbo engine: 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque
• Available 3.6L V6 engine: 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque

While you’ll find a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine on the Honda CR-V, its output falls short with just 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. So, if you’d prefer quicker acceleration and a more dynamic drive, the Chevy may be your top choice.

Despite this difference, you’ll find impressive gas mileage on either model. However, the 19.4-gallon fuel tank equipped on the Blazer will have you making fewer trips to the pump to refuel compared to the CR-V's 14-gallon fuel tank.

When you’ve got a party of five to transport, the Chevy Blazer and the Honda CR-V make it easy. With standard cloth appointments and available heated front seats, anyone in the cabin can sink into comfort. However, the Chevy slightly edges out the Honda in terms of passenger space:

• Chevy Blazer passenger volume: 107.8 cubic feet
• Honda CR-V passenger volume: 105.9 cubic feet

You and your copilot may feel more comfortable in the Blazer as well, thanks to its standard dual-zone automatic climate control. While you can set individual climates with your front passenger in the CR-V as well, you’ll have to upgrade to a higher trim level to do so.

Whether it’s you or your teenager behind the wheel, the standard safety suites on the Chevy Blazer and the Honda CR-V help ensure your confidence on the road. In fact, the Honda has similar features to these found on the Chevy:

• Forward Collision Alert
• IntelliBeam auto high beams
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Automatic Emergency Braking

For added protection, you can upgrade both models with blind spot monitoring systems! However, if you want more intuitive security systems, the Chevy Blazer can equip these features that the Honda CR-V goes without entirely:

• Teen Driver - Promotes better driving behavior by limiting certain vehicle features when your teenager is behind the wheel.
• Available Safety Alert Seat - Uses seat-vibration pulses or audible signals to alert you to potential crashes.
• Available HD Surround Vision - Via multiple cameras, this system displays a digital overhead shot of your vehicle to assist with parking.
• Available Rear Park Assist - When reversing at low speeds, this system will provide alerts when in close proximity to objects in your path.
