Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine

ACTIV and RS trims feature the ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine for a punchy blend of power and efficiency that complements Trailblazer’s nimble size. Paired with dual-outlet exhausts, the powertrain delivers lively response in traffic and composed power on the highway. With available max torque of 174 lb.-ft., acceleration feels confident whether you’re merging onto Route 30 or navigating rolling two-lanes after a Bucyrus workday. It’s the right output for a light, agile chassis, and it brings a rewarding feel to city commutes and weekend outings alike. Drivers choosing ACTIV will appreciate its off-road suspension tuning and functional skid plate, while RS leans into a sportier personality with unique exterior cues and available 19-inch high-gloss Black machined-aluminum wheels.

Available AWD and Three drive modes

Ohio weather can turn in a heartbeat. Available AWD gives you the extra traction you want for wet, slushy, or snowy days, with Three drive modes that adapt to conditions and driver preference. Leave it in a balanced everyday setting for commuting, switch to a slippery-surface mode when roads get dicey, or use a sportier mode when you want the powertrain to feel more eager. The system is easy to understand, quick to engage, and designed to build confidence without driver guesswork. Combined with Trailblazer’s precise steering and stable ride, you’ll feel secure whether you’re navigating downtown traffic lights or taking the back way home after a soccer game runs late.

11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen

The Trailblazer makes modern technology feel effortless. Every trim comes standard with an 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen that anchors the cabin with crisp graphics and a straightforward interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility mean your phone stays in your pocket while your apps appear on the screen, and Push-Button Start is standard so you can get rolling quickly. Add available wireless charging to keep your device powered, and consider the available Bose audio system for rich, balanced sound that elevates every playlist. The 8-inch diagonal Driver Information Center complements the main display with key info directly in your sightline, helping reduce distractions while you drive.

Chevy Safety Assist

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across Trailblazer, bringing a suite of six advanced driver assistance features to every trim. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking help warn and, if needed, can assist in mitigating or avoiding a front-end collision. Front Pedestrian Braking adds an extra layer of awareness in crosswalks and neighborhoods. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning provides gentle steering support when you unintentionally drift, and Following Distance Indicator helps you maintain a safe gap to vehicles ahead. Rounding out the suite is IntelliBeam®, which automatically toggles your high beams when it senses oncoming traffic. An HD Rear Vision Camera is also included, adding clarity when backing into a spot or lining up in tight parking lots.

Fold-flat front passenger seat

Utility is where the Trailblazer quietly shines. The standard fold-flat front passenger seat lets you carry items up to 8.5 feet in length—think small furniture, home improvement supplies, or a couple of fishing poles for a weekend at the lake—while still keeping the rear seats ready for passengers. Roomy seating for up to five means friends and family ride comfortably, and the available Hands-Free Power Liftgate helps you open the cargo area even when your arms are full. Smart interior storage, a low liftover height, and thoughtful tie-down points make daily tasks feel easier. Pair that versatility with an upscale look, available two-tone roofline on ACTIV and RS, and a color palette that includes White Sands, Mosaic Black Metallic, Marina Blue Metallic, Iridescent Pearl Tricoat, Cacti Green, and Sterling Gray Metallic, and you’ve got an SUV that’s both practical and personal.
