About the Chevrolet Trailblazer
The 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer marked the return of the nameplate as a subcompact crossover, slotting between the Trax and Equinox. Unlike its body-on-frame predecessor, this iteration uses the GM VSS-F platform and features styling heavily inspired by the larger Blazer, including a distinctive 'floating' roof and slim LED lighting. The 1.3-litre three-cylinder engine is the premium powertrain option, offering significantly more torque than the base 1.2-litre unit. It is designed for efficiency and urban manoeuvrability rather than off-road prowess, featuring a functional interior with a fold-flat front passenger seat for carrying long items.
