What is the Chevy crossover called?
There isn’t a single Chevrolet model officially known as “the Chevy crossover.” Chevrolet currently sells several car-like SUVs built on unibody platforms, including Trailblazer, Equinox, Blazer and Traverse.
Understanding Chevrolet's crossover lineup
Crossovers are passenger-car–based SUVs designed for comfort, efficiency and everyday versatility. In Chevrolet's lineup, the crossovers range from compact to three-row family vehicles, with features that vary by model.
Here is the current lineup of Chevy crossovers in the U.S. market.
- Trailblazer — subcompact crossover SUV offering modern styling and efficient engines.
- Equinox — compact crossover SUV known for efficiency and a balanced feature set.
- Blazer — midsize two-row crossover with a sportier design and available V6.
- Traverse — three-row crossover SUV designed for family versatility and cargo space.
Chevrolet's crossovers cover a range of sizes and seating configurations to fit a variety of needs. The lineup complements larger body-on-frame SUVs in Chevrolet's portfolio.
Details on each model
Trailblazer
The Trailblazer is Chevrolet's subcompact crossover, offering a compact footprint with modern tech, good fuel efficiency, and available all-wheel drive for light off-road or winter driving.
Equinox
The Equinox sits in the compact segment, balancing interior space with efficient powertrains and a user-friendly tech package. It’s a common choice for small families or daily commuting.
Blazer
Blazer is a midsize, two-row crossover with a bold design, more powertrain options including a turbocharged engine, and a focus on style and comfort for longer drives.
Traverse
Traverse is the largest of the current crossovers, offering three rows of seating and substantial cargo space, aimed at families and those who regularly shuttle passengers.
What counts as a Chevy crossover?
In automotive terms, a crossover SUV uses unibody construction and is built on a car platform, rather than a traditional truck-based frame. Chevy’s Trailblazer, Equinox, Blazer and Traverse fit this definition, while larger SUVs such as the Tahoe and Suburban are body-on-frame and thus not considered crossovers.
Summary
To answer the question directly: Chevrolet does not have a single model that is “the Chevy crossover.” Its current crossovers include Trailblazer, Equinox, Blazer and Traverse, covering from subcompact to three-row family needs. For buyers seeking a larger, truck-based SUV, Chevrolet offers Tahoe and Suburban, which are not crossovers.
