The Chevrolet lineup of crossover SUV is as, or more diverse, than any of its competitors. There is a model to fit just about any need and/or budget. Gord Anderson GM customers looking for a compact, but still roomy SUV option would do well to consider what the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer has to offer. Redesigned and reintroduced a few years ago, the current Trailblazer generation builds on its legacy with its slim footprint and nimble handling characteristics. Follow along with us while we take a closer look at this innovative automotive platform.
Interior Features
Comfortable Seating Options
A crossover SUV is primarily for transporting people. The 2023 Trailblazer can comfortably and safely seat five people in its two rows of seats. All five of those people will have generous dimensions for headroom, hip room and legroom.
Adaptable Cargo Volume
Even though the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer is one of the smaller SUVs available from the automaker, it still makes excellent use of its interior geometry. When people are using the backseat, there will be 716 litres of cargo volume. Folding the backseat down will make 1,540 litres available to haul cargo. Additionally, the front passenger seat can be stowed to accommodate items up to 8.5 feet long.
Easy Cargo Loading
Having a sizable cargo bay for its class isn’t much good if someone struggles to get items in the back of the vehicle. An available powered hands-free rear liftgate can be opened or closed using a simple kicking motion under the rear bumper.
Performance & Efficiency
Available Engine Menu
The 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer can be found with one of two available engines. Most models will come with a turbocharged 1.2-liter, three-cylinder engine, making 137 horsepower. The ACTIV trim grade can be equipped with a turbocharged 1.3-litre, three-litre power plant, producing 155 horsepower. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard equipment.
Fuel Economy
Chevrolet engineers really focused on fuel efficiency when developing the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A 2023 Trailblazer with the standard powertrain will be able to achieve up to 8.1 L/100 km in the city and 7.6 L/100 km on the highway.
Selectable Driving Modes
Owners of the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer can take their new SUV on exciting adventures. The SUV helps by offering three driving modes to help keep the Trailblazer stable in tough conditions. Sport mode is also available on some models.
Technology & Safety
Smartphone Integration
Smartphone technology continues to be an incredibly useful tool for just about anything we need to do. The infotainment system in the 2023 Trailblazer can connect to both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly. Amazon Alexa users can also use that device from their vehicle.
Device Support
There isn’t anything much worse than the need to make a call or send a text only to find your phone is about to die. The 2023 Trailblazer can be equipped with an available wireless charging pad that also keeps the tangle of unnecessary wires at bay.
Active Safety Systems
Driver and passenger safety is obviously a top priority for our manufacturing partner. Every 2023 Trailblazer is equipped with several standard active safety systems including:
- Rear Vision Camera
- Teen Driver Technology
- Rear Seat Reminder
- 10 Airbags
Some trim grades can be outfitted with additional safety gear that will provide warnings for drivers to avoid potentially dangerous situations. These features include:
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- HD Rear Vision Camera
