2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer Review and Specs

Some crossovers are attractive to look at and some are enjoyable to drive. One of such vehicles is the Chevrolet Trailblazer. Concealed as a smaller version of the Chevy Blazer, the Trailblazer is more appropriate for urban jungles than for completing the Rubicon Trail. Either a 137-hp turbocharged three-cylinder or a 155-hp turbo-three engine is neatly bundled beneath its hood. It is still feasible to receive a speeding ticket in a Trailblazer with these powertrains, but it will take a lot of work and room. All-wheel-drive Trailblazers have a smoother, more conventional nine-speed automatic gearbox, whereas front-wheel drive vehicles have a continuously variable automatic transmission.

What Is 2024 Bringing?

For 2024, the Chevy Trailblazer gets an update with new exterior and interior features. Chevy has introduced new wheel designs and two new colors, Cactus Green and Copper Harbor, to the Trailblazer, giving it the same schnoz as the bigger Blazer SUV. The Trailblazer also receives a new front fascia and updated headlamps. As standard equipment, a new 11.0-inch infotainment touchscreen is mounted on an advanced 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster. This year's little unit is replaced by it. Fall of 2023 will see the release of the 2024 model for sale.

Cost and Selection of Items for Purchase

Depending on the model and options, the 2024 Chevrolet TrailBlazer's pricing ranges from $24,395 to $28,395.

Performance, Engine, and Transmission

The Trailblazer has two distinct turbocharged three-cylinder engines available: a 1.2-liter and a 1.3-liter, just as the Encore GX. The latter yields 155 horsepower, whereas the former only produces 137. While the 1.3-liter engine offers optional all-wheel drive, the 1.2-liter engine only comes with front-wheel drive and is outfitted with a continuously variable automatic gearbox (CVT). Selecting the all-wheel drive option also results in a seamless nine-speed automatic transmission replacing the standard CVT. During testing, the 1.3-liter all-wheel drive Trailblazer's acceleration was unimpressive; it loped to 60 miles per hour in a comfortable 8.7 seconds.

Cargo, Comfort, and Interior

Though the inside design isn't quite as cartoonish as the outside, the cabin is nonetheless roomy, practical, and well-equipped with many of convenience features in the higher trim levels. There is enough room in the rear seat for two people to feel comfortable, and the driving position is elevated, akin to that of an SUV. Even though the interior is primarily made of black plastic, everything has a lovely feel to keep it from being tacky. Higher-end versions have chrome accents and colored trim pieces for a more premium appearance. There's a roomy cargo area behind the back seat, and the Chevy offers fold-flat rear seats as well as a folding front passenger seat to accommodate longer things.

Connectivity and Entertainment

The infotainment system of the Trailblazer has an 11.0-inch touchscreen as standard. It features Sirius XM satellite radio in addition to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. For all of your streaming requirements, passengers may connect to the Trailblazer's accessible Wi-Fi hotspot in addition to wireless phone charging offered on the LT, ACTIV, and RS trims.

Features for Safety and Driver Assistance

• Typical automatic emergency braking that detects pedestrians
• Regular lane-keeping assistance and lane-departure warning
• Adaptive cruise control is available.

Coverage for Maintenance and Warranty

Comparing Chevrolet's basic warranty coverage to many of the competitors of the Trailblazer, it is abysmal. Are you trying to find a longer warranty on something? The powertrain warranties of the Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport are up to ten years or one hundred thousand kilometers. Although the Trailblazer is unique among its competitors in that it offers a free first scheduled maintenance visit, the Hyundai surpasses the Chevy in this regard by providing a free three-year maintenance plan.

• A limited warranty is valid for 36 months or 36 000 miles.
• A powertrain warranty is valid for 60,000 miles or five years.
• Free maintenance is included on the initial visit.
