Performance

Acceleration

It's a breeze to merge onto the William Penn Highway in Allentown with the new Chevy Blazer. This midsize SUV comes standard with a turbocharged 228-horsepower four-cylinder engine, but a 308-horsepower V6 that makes 270 pound-feet of torque is available. Either motor gives the Blazer ample get-up-and-go for regular driving.

The new Chevy Equinox is a compact SUV, so it doesn't need as much power as its midsize counterpart. Its lone motor is a 175-horsepower four-cylinder engine that makes 203 pound-feet of torque. This setup gives the Equinox all the oomph you need for running errands in the city.

The new Chevy Trailblazer offers two available powertrains - a turbocharged 137-horsepower three-cylinder engine and a turbocharged 155-horsepower three-cylinder motor. Both engines are peppy enough to zip the Trailblazer around town without issue.
