Compact SUVs have become popular because they offer a flexible interior and powerful performance while being sized for city spaces. Two good options are the 2021 Kia Seltos and the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer. You want to overlook their similarities and concentrate on comparing details. Then the Seltos becomes the top choice.
| MODEL | 2021 KIA SELTOS | 2021 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER |
|---|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | $21,990* | ✓ $19,995** |
| Maximum Horsepower | ✓ 175 (1.6L Turbo I4)* | 155 (1.3L Turbo)** |
| Maximum Cargo Volume (cu. ft.) | ✓ 62.8* | 54.4** |
| Maximum Touchscreen Size (in.) | ✓ 10.25* | 7** |
| Powertrain Warranty | ✓ 10 years/100,000 miles* | 5 years/60,000 miles** |
The 2021 Kia Seltos ends up being the better buy because its performance specs are higher and you gain more cargo volume when you fold down its rear seatback. Its infotainment touchscreen is larger, which shows you more information. You won’t have to worry about the powertrain for a longer period and for a greater number of miles.
