Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about comparing the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer and 2026 Honda Passport.

That depends on your driving habits. The Passport offers 285 hp versus the Blazer's 228 hp, but it only achieves 21 MPG combined, while the Blazer hits 25 MPG combined. If you drive many highway miles, the Blazer's 4 MPG advantage could outweigh the extra power for daily commutes.

While their lengths are nearly identical (191.5 vs 191.9 inches), the Passport is significantly taller at 73.1 inches compared to the Blazer's 67.0 inches. This height difference contributes directly to the Passport’s much larger 44 cu ft cargo volume.

Does the standard FWD on the Blazer present an issue compared to the Passport’s AWD?
