Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine

On ACTIV and RS, the ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine underscores a fun-to-drive personality with responsive power. It partners well with the Trailblazer’s compact footprint, delivering quick step-off in traffic and reassuring midrange pull when merging. The engine is paired with dual exhausts on these trims to enhance both performance feel and visual attitude. With available max torque up to 174 lb.-ft., it brings confident acceleration for city commutes and highway travel alike. The ACTIV trim adds off-road suspension tuning and a functional skid plate, widening your weekend possibilities, while RS doubles down on style and sport with an assertive stance. Together, these configurations show how the compact SUV formula can feel dialed-in, not dialed back.

11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen

Every Trailblazer includes a standard 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen that is clear, responsive, and easy to use at a glance. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility come standard, mirroring key apps, messages, and maps. The interface is complemented by an 8-inch diagonal Driver Information Center screen on LS, helping you keep tabs on vehicle data. Available Bose audio elevates daily listening with rich clarity, and available wireless charging helps keep your cabin organized by eliminating cable clutter. With Push-Button Start standard, the interior tech suite is streamlined around everyday convenience—sit down, start up, and go.

All-Wheel Drive and three drive modes

Available AWD and three drive modes help the Trailblazer adapt to changing roads and seasonal weather. This intuitive system is designed to enhance traction when you need it and maintain fuel-conscious composure when you do not. The selectable drive modes enable you to tailor feedback and response based on conditions—think wet pavement, light gravel, or simply a winding road where you want a little extra control. The end result is a small SUV with the composure to handle more than its size suggests, whether you are cruising across town or taking the long way through the countryside.

Chevy Safety Assist

Chevy Safety Assist is standard, reinforcing confidence with six advanced safety and driver assistance features. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking monitor closing speeds and can assist with braking. Front Pedestrian Braking adds an extra layer of awareness in urban and neighborhood environments. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning helps you stay centered, while Following Distance Indicator supports smoother, safer traffic flow. IntelliBeam® automatically toggles high beams as conditions allow. These technologies support your attentiveness without replacing it, helping you maintain focus on the road. For full limitations and usage guidance, consult your Owner’s Manual.

Versatility and cargo solutions

Trailblazer earns its name with space and flexibility that defy expectations. The standard fold-flat front passenger seat allows up to 8.5 feet of max cargo length, so items like small ladders, skis, or area rugs can ride inside with ease. Rear seats accommodate adults comfortably, making carpooling or weekend road trips surprisingly relaxed in a compact footprint. Available silver-painted roof rails on LT expand your carrying options, and the available Hands-Free Power Liftgate simplifies loading when your hands are full. From a spontaneous furniture pickup to the family’s gear for a day at the lake, this SUV is built to keep up.
