Chevrolet has revived the Trailblazer name for the 2022 model year. The Trailblazer is a subcompact SUV sized between the Trax and the Equinox. One of the advantages of this vehicle is its powerful engine. It also has a reliable suspension that offers stability and smooth ride quality.
The appealing interior styling and abundance of technological features enhance the Trailblazer’s appeal. There is also a respectable amount of cargo and rear space. With its muscular Camaro-like appearance, the Trailblazer also succeeds in standing out from the competition.
The Trailblazer is an excellent choice if you’re looking for an extra small SUV. If you’re interested in this vehicle, you would be happy to know that it’s available at Mtn. View Chevrolet in Chattanooga, TN. Visit us if you want to take a closer look at the Trailblazer.
Four 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer trim levels are available: LS, LT, Activ, and RS. The Trailblazer uses a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder as the base engine. The engine is mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. It has an output of 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque.
A powerful turbocharged 1.3-liter three-cylinder engine with 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet torque is also available. It is coupled with a nine-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system.
The Trailblazer manages to navigate daily traffic effectively, thanks to its capable engine. The nine-speed automatic transmission holds the engine’s sweet spot during acceleration. Models with the 1.3-liter engine can go from zero to 60 mph in 9.4 seconds. The Trailblazer also has accurate steering that gives confidence on most roads.
The Trailblazer boasts a smooth ride for a small SUV, especially on the interstate. The front seats get cozier and more supportive the more you sit on them. Driving on bumpy roads will cause some jostling, but the Trailblazer never slams into potholes or seems overly stiff. The Trailblazer demonstrates exceptional ride comfort when traveling on the highway.
At full power, the three-cylinder engine, which is a design that is notorious for being a little harsh and noisy, only makes a faint growl. Although not quite as well muffled, road and wind noises are still manageable and never get grating even when driving for extended periods. Although higher fan speeds can be noisy, climate control is simple to use and maintains an acceptable cabin temperature level.
The analog and digital controls on the Trailblazer are well balanced, and everything is easy to understand. The Trailblazer has a slightly higher ride height than a compact sedan, making it simple to open the door and get inside. Even the tallest backseat occupants won’t need to perform any elaborate gymnastics to enter. And once there, passengers will discover an incredibly roomy back seat. For most passengers, headroom is more than sufficient with the optional panoramic sunroof.
Although the Trailblazer has a little lower roofline than other SUVs, visibility is not sacrificed for fashion. Taller drivers won’t feel as though they are perched up too high because the driving position is adjustable to suit various preferences. Even in poor light, the available high-definition backup camera performs admirably.
The Trailblazer’s bigger dimensions benefit storage capacity. This SUV has one of the largest cargo spaces in its class. Although the Trailblazer is still a small vehicle, it should be adequate for most cargo-hauling requirements.
There is average interior storage for small items. There are cup holders and a tray up front, which can be a wireless charging pad. A deep, slightly narrow bin under the center console’s armrest is best used for less frequently used things. For both front and back passengers, the door pockets will store little objects. The ample room in the back seat should allow for the easy installation of car seats.
The 1990 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer is a luxury trim level that is the forerunner of the Chevy Trailblazer. Chevy continued to offer the Trailblazer variant through the 2001 model year. It became a standalone SUV starting with the 2002 model year. It enjoyed considerable success from 2002 to 2008.
A rear DVD system, a six-disc in-dash CD changer, and a universal garage door opener with a note recorder were just a few of the then-advanced conveniences and features that the Trailblazer offered.
Chevy stopped making the Trailblazer after the 2008 model year in favor of the still-popular Traverse. The Chevy Trailblazer returned to the market for the 2021 model year as a cheap subcompact SUV to satisfy the needs of contemporary drivers after a 12-year absence from the market.
