Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine

Available on ACTIV and RS, the ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine is engineered to give the Trailblazer lively responsiveness in city driving and smooth, confident acceleration on the highway. Tuned to match the vehicle’s compact footprint, this powertrain pairs well with the Trailblazer’s available AWD system and selectable drive modes to help deliver traction where and when it matters. With an available 174 lb.-ft. of max torque and dual-outlet exhaust on ACTIV and RS, it feels energetic without being loud or busy. Whether you are merging onto a busy on-ramp or navigating a winding back road, the setup emphasizes real-world drivability and composed manners that make daily driving less tiring and more enjoyable.

11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen

Every 2026 Trailblazer includes an 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen that anchors the cabin with a crisp display and straightforward menus. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ are standard, so your favorite apps and connected features are easily accessible without extra cords. The screen placement is designed to minimize eye movement, while responsive touch targets and intuitive organization keep common actions just a tap away. Pair it with an available Bose audio system for richer sound, and add available wireless charging to keep your device topped up while you drive. From navigation and podcasts to calls and messages, the Trailblazer keeps your digital life simple and safer to manage on the move.

Chevy Safety Assist

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on every Trailblazer, bringing a suite of six advanced safety and driver assistance features to your daily drive. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking can help alert you to a potential front-end collision and, in certain situations, can automatically provide hard emergency braking. Front Pedestrian Braking can help reduce or avoid pedestrian collisions at lower speeds. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can gently steer you to help keep you centered in your lane when lane markers are detected. Following Distance Indicator helps you set and monitor a gap to the vehicle ahead, and IntelliBeam® auto high beams can automatically turn high beams on and off as conditions change. An HD Rear Vision Camera adds helpful visibility when backing out of driveways or tight parking spots.

Standard fold-flat front passenger seat

If you have ever struggled to fit long items into a small SUV, the Trailblazer’s standard fold-flat front passenger seat is a game changer. Fold it forward and combine it with the flat-folding rear seatbacks to allow up to 8.5 feet of max cargo length for items like small ladders, skis, or flat-pack furniture. Day to day, the roomy seating accommodates five adults comfortably, and the squared-off cargo area makes it easier to load larger boxes and travel gear. Add the available hands-free power liftgate for convenient loading when your hands are full, and consider available roof rails for additional cargo solutions. It is the kind of versatility that pays off every week.

Available AWD with three drive modes

The Trailblazer’s available all-wheel drive adds traction confidence when the forecast is uncertain, and three selectable drive modes help you tailor the SUV’s response. Toggle to Snow mode when winter arrives, switch to Sport mode for a more engaging feel on dry pavement, or leave it in Normal for balanced everyday driving. Combined with ACTIV’s off-road suspension tuning and functional skid plate, or RS’s sport-focused tuning and 19-inch high-gloss Black machined-aluminum wheels, you can pick the personality that matches your routes. It is a thoughtful mix of technology and tuning that helps the Trailblazer feel surefooted and ready for the day ahead.
