Big Time Confidence in a Small SUV
Comparing it to rivals like the Kia Soul and Nissan Kicks, the Trailblazer may not be the champion in terms of fuel efficiency or price, but it does take the lead in the infotainment department, sporting the largest touchscreen among the three. Interestingly, despite its compact size, the Trailblazer makes smart use of interior space by allowing the front-passenger seat to fold flat, giving room for long items.
New for 2024
A new 11.0-inch infotainment touchscreen takes main stage in the center console. It is paired with a sleek 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster and both come as standard equipment. This high-tech duo replaces the smaller screen that was present in the previous year's model. If you're eager to get your hands on this refreshed version, you won't have to wait long as they will begin to start hitting the Los Angeles area late 2023.
Model Details
Engine & Performance
In comparison to the older model's performance, the acceleration of the 1.3-liter all-wheel drive Trailblazer tested exhibited a 9.4-second time to reach 60 miles per hour, showcasing a similar pace to the older Trailblazer model. While the new Trailblazer provides improved efficiency and slightly increased horsepower, both old and new Trailblazers demonstrate similar acceleration times.
Interior & Cargo
Infotainment & Technology
The Trailblazer features an 11.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system as standard. It's equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration along with SiriusXM satellite radio. The LT, ACTIV, and RS trims offer wireless phone charging, and the available Wi-Fi hotspot allows passengers to stay connected for all their streaming requirements.
