Whether you prioritize cargo space, passenger capacity, or tech features, Bob Brady Buick GMC is here to help you compare these models head-to-head and decide which SUV is the best fit for your needs.
The 2025 GMC Acadia offers a roomy and upscale three-row cabin with seating for up to seven. The second and third rows feature 60/40 split-folding seats for flexible passenger and cargo arrangements. Standard amenities include an 8-way power driver seat, tri-zone climate control, and an available Bose® 12-speaker sound system. The cabin layout is driver-focused with modern styling and premium material choices.
The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer seats up to five and features a sportier, more driver-centric interior. While it’s a two-row SUV, it offers impressive cargo space – up to 64.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. The Blazer's interior stands out with available perforated leather seating, contrast stitching, and a standard Bose® 8-speaker sound system on higher trims.

GMC AcadiaThe redesigned 2025 Acadia features a larger, more commanding presence with a wider grille, bold LED headlights, and increased dimensions, adding over 10 inches in length compared to the previous model. Trim-specific accents on Elevation, AT4, and Denali versions give the Acadia a unique identity. Functional roof rails, 20-inch wheels, and advanced aerodynamics support both utility and style.
Chevrolet BlazerThe Blazer's coupe design and aggressive lines convey a direct performance stance. Its available RS trim features gloss-black exterior detailing, black bowtie emblems, and bold wheels. The Blazer may also be upgraded with 20- or 21-inch wheels and signature C-shaped LED lights. Roof rails and a hands-free liftgate make it even more practical.
Both SUVs are equipped with turbocharged engines and decent towing capacity, but the Acadia delivers more torque and base horsepower. The Blazer gives you two engine options based on your style of driving.
