Chevrolet Trailblazer in more detail
More detailed contextWhere the Trailblazer makes sense
Priced at 24,995, it delivers good value in its segment for city driving with an efficient turbocharged inline 4 and AWD.
With seating for 5 and 711 liters of trunk space, it handles daily errands and growing-family cargo without fuss.
Driving character
The 155 hp and 240 Nm setup provides steady response, reaching 0–100 in 8.5 seconds.
Combined consumption of 7.1 keeps running costs predictable; top speed is 200, but everyday usability is the priority.
Consider before you buy
It is not aimed at premium shoppers, and there are no safety star or reliability ratings listed here.
Cross-shop within Chevrolet (Equinox, Blazer) or alternatives like Hyundai Kona and Peugeot 2008 to match your priorities.
