2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer consumer reviews

Great size, comfortable and just enough storage space. I absolutely love the size of the screen for navigating directions. The cooling system is quick and cools very quickly. Pleasant on the eyes and looks more expensive than it actually was.

I bought this SUV to drive year round. It replaced my Camaro. I just drove it on the freeway the past two days. Great Mileage of 32 mpg. this was at 75 miles per hour. The ride is great. The handling is great. Overall a great SUV for the money..

I’ve owned my 2021 Chevy Trailblazer (RS, AWD) for almost two months now...I really, really love it. The safety features are top notch. It’s super sporty looking which is unlike anything I’ve owned/leased before (decided to change it up a bit!). My only complaint is that the interior material (particularly the doors and dashboard) seems to get dirty/marked up VERY easily, and I haven’t even eaten anything in the car. It just feels cheap. Within two days of getting my vehicle, the zipper on my purse slid across the (door) interior and left a huge scratch :( I’m unable to get rid of it and don’t feel that should’ve happened so easily. I’m concerned that the interior appearance is going to be difficult to maintain (especially with kids). I suppose only time will tell. Other than that it’s a beautiful ride.

1.3L turbo with a real 9 speed transmission (not the CVT) is "legit". Snappy engine, great handling, nice ride and beat all the competitors (CR-V, HR-V, Rav4, Tuscon, Santa Fe, CX-5) hands down. I drove them all and bought the Chevy Trailblazer. No Regrets.

Love the way this car handles ! Awesome on the highway. Has that extra get up and go !! I made a great choice !

This SUV rides really nice. I like the interior of it. Handles really well. One thing I really love is the mpg have had it for two weeks and am averaging over 30mpg!. Has a descent amount of space. Overall if you are looking for a smaller SUV with good mpg I'd highly recommend the Chevy Trailblazer!

I like the styling and the engine - transmission combination. So far it fits my needs, we will see how it does in the snow in Colorado this year.

I have owned my 2021 Chevy Trailblazer RS FWD for officially a week! I love the “two tone” roof and the panoramic sun roof! I came from a ‘16 Civic Touring that had all of the bells and whistles and I feel the same way about my new Trailblazer! Tons of safety features, which are important to me! I’m so happy that I fell in love with my new car! Definitely love at first sight and drive!

So far so good! Drives great and looks even better! Great new crossover! Would recommend this car for anyone! Can’t wait to see how well the gas mileage is.

I bought this car a week ago (for my spouse) and love it more every time I drive it. In fact, my well-equipped 2016 Cadillac CTS hasn't gotten much attention lately as I prefer the ride position, easy maneuvering, and general utility of the 2021 Trailblazer when just running errands, picking up groceries, etc. FEATURES: I love all of the tech (especially the Adaptive Cruise Control!), which makes the Trailblazer even more of a pleasure to drive. Given that it is 6 years newer than my Cadillac, it has a few features my Caddy doesn't have. While Adaptive Cruise Control was available on higher-trim levels of my Cadillac, I don't think that features such as the wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay were even offered on the highest trims. It's awesome to see that sort of feature on the Trailblazer. There are some key features missing on the Trailblazer, however. I picked up a fully-loaded Trailblazer Activ AWD. For the price, it would have been nice to have an option of real leather seating. The leatherette offered does look fantastic and generally feels good, but there's no replacement for the breathability and better temperature control of real leather. It's also a bit disappointing that a power-adjustable front passenger seat isn't available at any price. (I suspect this feature is reserved for the Buick Encore GX to better differentiate it from it's Trailblazer cousin.) I would have also been happy to pay for additional features such a heated steering wheel and even ventilated seats, but I'm not surprised that they're not available on a vehicle in this segment. INTERIOR: The interior is absolutely gorgeous, especially on the upper-level trims (RS and Activ). While there are some hard plastics on the very top of the dash, they don't look terrible and are on a section that you're unlikely to touch much anyway. The main front section of the dash is covered in a rubberized material that feels quite premium. I'm not sure how it is produced, but it seems almost as thought an intricate weave of rubber threads was fused together with heat to create a sort of fabric. This texture is also matched in trim on the seats themselves (in the Activ trim, at least), thought I believe this is a material that is molded or produced in a different manner. Regardless, it looks great together. The leatherette looks and generally feels great, but they do seem to hold heat more than leather seats (and cloth too I would think, though I admit I haven't had as much experience with cloth seats in recent years). The black leatherette covers the majority of the seats, with accented sections that match the dash's rubberized material, as well as third material used on the Active trim: a sort of charcoal-colored canvas-like material that is used in the center of the door panels and in very small accents on the seats. The interior has been packed in a manner to feel quite spacious and functional. The seating position is a bit more upright, which makes better use of space and also contributes to the seating/viewing position seeming quite high. Everything is well within reach and all of the knobs and buttons are easy to use. The knobs on the auto climate control do seem a bit light and a bit cheap upon turning them, but they otherwise function well and look fine. I think the cargo area is set up quite well. I appreciate the ability to adjust the height of the load floor and also how much room there is under the load floor to store items that need to be carried but don't need to be accessed frequently. The idea of the reversible floor is nice (one side is carpeted while the other is covered in a easy-to-clean plastic), but I'm not sure it's particularly useful in practice. The plastic side is really too slick to hold cargo in one place, so any dirty items are likely to slide all over the back of the cargo area anyway. EXTERIOR: If you've seen pictures, you know how great this thing looks. Even the LS and LT trims look fun and aggressive, though my favorite is definitely the Activ trim. The faux skidplates and brightwork make it look like a much more expensive vehicle than it is. DRIVE: This thing isn't a race car, but it doesn't feel underpowered and handles itself well. In fact, it offers a very similar ride feel to the Cadillac XT4 that I drove for a few days recently, though it's not quite as peppy. VERDICT: If you need a vehicle in this segment, but want youthful style as well, it's hard to beat the Trailblazer.
