Toyota Highlander vs. Chevy Blazer

2021 Toyota Highlander

Midsize SUVs are like champions of the roadways. Your sense of adventure is on the cusp of meeting new heights as you consider your options to cruise around Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, Ormond Beach, and New Smyrna Beach, FL.

For example, take the similarities between the Toyota Highlander vs. Chevy Blazer. Our team at Daytona Toyota is eager to showcase what makes these vehicles stand out—so let us show you! Feel free to contact us directly if you still have any questions after reading.

Memorable Performance from the Start

Toyota Highlander Engine Specs Built standard in each of the Toyota Highlander’s trim options is a 3.5-liter V6 engine. Front-Wheel Drive comes standard, too, but you can take advantage of the mighty available All-Wheel Drive on all trims. The 8-speed automatic transmission makes way for the 295 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque from the engine, accentuating the smooth suspension and steering.

Oh, and did we mention the Highlander is designed to serve as an ultra-low emission vehicle?

Like the Highlander, the Chevy Blazer has an impressive pick-up-and-go engine. However, its capabilities are limited in their scope. The standard Blazer engine offers a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces just 193 horsepower—a much smaller number than the Highlander. While the Blazer’s available 3.6-liter V6 engine is available as an upgrade, the Highlander provides this power right out of the gate.

Choose Your Comfort With Toyota and Chevy

Toyota Highlander Interior Space Choose to sit the way you like with the Highlander. Up to eight people can easily fit inside the SUV, meaning your first, second, and third rows can provide convenience a la cart. Up in the front, you can cozily seat yourself with the available heated and ventilated front seats. In the back seats, you can glance up at the sky with the available eye-catching panoramic moonroof. All you need is at your fingertips.

The Blazer, too, accommodates all of its passengers with the cabin room for five. The 60/40 split-folding seating in the second row is ideal for short trips and long trips alike—although the 64.2 cubic feet of cargo volume fails in comparison to the Highlander’s maximum 84.3 cubic feet of cargo volume.

Despite this, both SUVs shine in their technological achievements. Connect your smartphone to take advantage of integrated services that allow you to play music, place calls, and safely text as you drive. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard in both SUVs—so get to enjoying your infotainment!

Toyota vs. Chevy: Comprehensive Safety Features

Toyota Highlander Safety Behind the wheel of the Toyota Highlander, you’re provided an intuitive selection of standard advanced safety and driver-assist features. The features come as part of Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ suite and include many additions like:

Pre-Collision System with Low-Light Pedestrian Detection
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
Road Sign Assist

The included safety technology keeps a close eye on every nook and cranny of your Highlander. With the Lane Tracing Assist feature, your SUV will detect whether or not you’re safely inside your lane to prevent any potential collision while on the roadways.

The Blazer does provide similar safety features. However, most of them don’t come standard with their base trims. If you’re wanting features like Forward Collision Alert or Front Pedestrian Braking, you’ll need to go with the higher-end trims, like the RS. Still, you’re given a standard rearview camera for backing up purposes and standard OnStar® service capabilities.
