Actually Better Than Subaru
by Actual OWNER on 6/10/2026 2:14:57 AM
I owned a Trax and now a 2026 Trailblazer LT with lots of packages. I find this less expensive than the RS and Activ yet has the features! Rides great on bumpy country roads near my house! FWD Turbo 3 is surprisingly fast and metal chain ⛓️💥⛓️ cvt is better than the shifts ...smoother... I added a Kicker under seat subwoofer and new kicker speakers..now Trailblazer is perfect. - 4.0
Great Budget Car

It was very easy to average 35-37 mpg on the highway if you drive conservatively. The interior was mediocre and felt rather cheap. Cabin noise could use some improvement as well. The biggest issue for me was the brakes squeaking so loudly. I took my car to Chevrolet many times, and they said the brakes are perfectly fine. If you are in search of a budget vehicle and have a small family, this vehicle would be perfect. Otherwise, the car was smooth and nice to drive. - 5.0
Impressive little SUV

Replaced my 2019 Camaro with a 2021 Trailblazer LT. Smaller 1.3 engine, but the turbo moves it along briskly. Handling is slow, but the ride is decent. Interior is quiet and well laid out. Similar layout as the Camaro so transition was easy. Decent infotainment system and wireless connection for android or apple. Heated seats are welcome as well as the auto setting on the HVAC. Power seats and even lumbar are a nice feature. So far I am pleased with the vehicle, I had no issues with my Camaro other than I racked up a lot of miles and needed a lower mileage daily driver. Chevy was my first choice based on prior experience.
