2021 Chevrolet Blazer SUV vs 2021 Ford Edge

Talk about performance, engine, or even acceleration; the Ford Edge SE beats the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer in all the parameters. Well, except for one, which is the braking performance. With only a slight difference, the Ford Edge SE lacks in this category. 

2021 Chevrolet Blazer SUV vs 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe

The 2021 Chevy Blazer SUV fares better in terms of engine and performance as compared to the Hyundai Santa Fe SEL. When we talk of acceleration and top speed, Hyundai Santa Fe SEL wins. And braking performance and warranty coverage of Chevy is nowhere near the Hyundai Santa’s. 

2021 Chevrolet Blazer SUV vs 2021 Toyota RAV4

Engine and performance-wise, the Toyota RAV4 XLE fares much better than the Chevy Blazer. But when we check the acceleration, the Blazer is slightly better. Besides, Toyota is offering the best-combined fuel economy and much too obviously beats the Chevy. Toyota's dimensions are more like an SUV, whereas the upcoming Blazer's dimensions are given a touch of style.

Final Verdict


The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer is very muscular and good-looking and comes with three engine options and comfortable interiors, and an adequate amount of cargo space. However, for better performance and space, we would suggest the 2021 Ford Escape or the 2021 Toyota RAV4.
