Unlike the prior truck-based mid-size SUV, the new Trailblazer is small. It slots between the Trax subcompact and Equinox compact SUVs in the automaker’s lineup and is Chevy’s seventh SUV available in the U.S.
The Trailblazer’s powertrain is small, too. Two engines are offered: a standard 1.2-liter turbo three-cylinder and an available 1.3-liter turbo three-cylinder. Transmission choices include a nine-speed automatic transmission or a continuously variable automatic transmission.
Inside, there’s seating for five, and carrying bigger cargo is possible despite the SUV’s tiny dimensions thanks to a surprising amount of cargo versatility; there’s also plenty of small-item storage spaces to stash smaller stuff.
