2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer: Compact and Comfortable
March 17 2023, Christin Automobile
Among the selection of Chevrolet SUVs offered on the market in 2023, we find the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. It’s an excellent subcompact crossover that stands out easily with its great price and comfortable interior.
Come and learn more on this Chevrolet SUV, its design, different trim levels, performance as well as its price.
Powertrain and Performance of the Chevrolet Trailblazer
Across the four trim levels of the 2023 Trailblazer, you can choose between two three-cylinder turbocharged engines.
The base model, the Chevrolet Trailblazer LS, is available with the 1.2 L ECOTEC engine, that generates 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. This engine is also available on the LT trim. It’s combined with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive.
The second engine is available on option for the Chevrolet Trailblazer LT and standard on the Activ and RS trim levels. It’s a 1.3 L ECOTEC engine that produces up to 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque.
You can have it with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive on the LT. Another option to consider is the 9-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive, optional on the LT and standard on the Activ and the Chevrolet Trailblazer RS.
When combined with front-wheel drive, the 1.3 L engine offers a slightly better fuel consumption along with its extra power.
In fact, we note a combined fuel consumption city and highway of 7.7 L/100 km for the 1.3 L engine. Instead, the 1.2 L engine consumes 7.8 L/100 km in similar conditions. For all-wheel drive, combined consumption for the 1.3 L engine increases up to 8.4 L/100 km.
Regardless of the engine and transmission, the Trailblazer remains an economical choice in its class.
The Trailblazer: A Safe and Clever Design
This Chevrolet SUV easily stands out from the competition with its sporty and dynamic style. Across its different trim levels, it offers various design features that allow you to customize your driving experience.
For example, if you’re looking for an SUV that’s a little bit more robust, the Chevrolet Trailblazer Activ and the RS adds features that come handy during off-road driving, like:
- Off-road suspension tuning
- Skid plates
- Off-road sport 17-inch wheels, etc.
If its off-road capacities are not necessarily for you, the LT version already offers various additional equipment, like heated front seats and an 8-way power driver’s seat.
Yet, the Trailblazer was not designed simply to amaze with its splendid sporty exterior. In fact, it was designed to be one of the safest SUVs out there. It was awarded the Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS.
Inside the 2023 Trailblazer, you’ll be riding in style, comfort and peace of mind.
The Chevrolet Trailblazer, A Family SUV
One of the main advantages of the Trailblazer is its particularly spacious cabin. To offer a full family experience, this large space can be combined with various accessories on option, like:
- An upscale Bose stereo system
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
- Wi-Fi hotspot, etc.
The Trailblazer offers everyone the chance to take advantage of its in-car technologies. It’s easy to see why The Car Guide, in its Chevrolet Trailblazer review, described the vehicle as offering:
“An adventurous design and great versatility for the family.”
Moreover, you’ll be able to bring all your luggage easily thanks to a cargo volume of 716 L behind the second row of seats. If you don’t need the back seats, the Trailblazer offers a top capacity of 1540 L. In fact, your Chevrolet SUV might be compact, but it makes a good use of all the space it has.
If you’re looking for a subcompact crossover that doesn’t compromise on the comfort of its occupants, then the Trailblazer is an excellent SUV available right now on the market.
