About the Chevrolet Trail Blazer

The Chevrolet Trail Blazer has seen dramatic changes since it first hit the market, evolving over the years to adapt to shifting consumer needs and industry trends. Let’s take a closer look at its journey through the generations, from performance specs to design upgrades, comfort features, safety innovations, and available trims.

Generational Evolution

First Generation (2001–2008)

What started as an upscale trim of the S-10 Blazer in 1999 became its own mid-size SUV in 2001. Built on the GMT360 platform, the Trail Blazer featured body-on-frame construction, appealing to drivers who wanted solid off-road capabilities. It came standard with a 4.2L Vortec inline-six engine that originally produced 270 horsepower, later upgraded to 291 horsepower. In 2006, the Trail Blazer SS arrived, sporting a 6.0L V8 engine with 395 horsepower—a bold move into high-performance SUV territory for Chevrolet.

Second Generation (2012–2020)

Chevrolet brought back the Trail Blazer in 2012, focusing on markets outside North America. This version, based on the Chevrolet Colorado pickup, stayed true to its SUV roots with rugged styling and improved off-road capabilities. It also offered a variety of engines, including diesel options, to meet diverse global market demands.

Third Generation (2020–Present)

In 2020, Chevrolet reintroduced the Trail Blazer as a subcompact crossover aimed at urban drivers who wanted versatility in a smaller package. Built on GM’s VSS-F platform and developed by GM Korea, the new Trail Blazer offers two turbocharged three-cylinder engines for the U.S. market: a 1.2L with 137 horsepower and a 1.3L with 155 horsepower. Transmission options include a CVT for front-wheel-drive models and a 9-speed automatic for all-wheel-drive versions.

Performance and Fuel Efficiency

First Generation

The 4.2L inline-six engine delivered solid performance, going from 0 to 60 mph in about 7.7 seconds. Its fuel economy was typical of its time, averaging 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazer SS took things up a notch, hitting 0 to 60 mph in just over 5 seconds, though its fuel economy dipped to 12 mpg city and 16 mpg highway.

Third Generation

The latest Trail Blazer focuses on efficiency, with the 1.2L engine achieving an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. The 1.3L option slightly improves on that, offering up to 29 mpg city and 33 mpg highway, striking a balance between power and fuel savings.

Design and Comfort

Exterior

The Trail Blazer has evolved from a boxy, rugged SUV to a sleek, modern crossover. Today’s models feature bold styling with a distinctive dual-port grille, LED lighting, and a contemporary front fascia that aligns with Chevrolet’s current design language.

Interior

The cabin of the modern Trail Blazer is spacious and well-appointed, offering high-quality materials and modern tech. Highlights include an available 11-inch touchscreen infotainment system, optional leather upholstery, and ambient lighting that adds a touch of sophistication.

Safety Features

Safety has always been a priority for the Trail Blazer, and the 2021 model earned the IIHS “Top Safety Pick+” award. Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a rearview camera. Higher trims add advanced features like adaptive cruise control and rear parking sensors, ensuring a comprehensive suite of safety options.

Trim Levels

The Trail Blazer offers a variety of trims to suit different needs:

L: The base model includes essentials like a 7-inch touchscreen and cloth upholstery.
LS: Adds practical touches like fold-flat front passenger seating and upgraded interior accents.
LT: Introduces LED fog lights, remote start, and optional luxury packages.
ACTIV: Designed for adventurers, featuring sport terrain tires, skid plates, and an off-road-tuned suspension.
