2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The Trailblazer lineup is defined by purpose, with each trim offering a clear identity rather than just incremental change. The LS trim establishes a solid foundation with features like an 11-inch touchscreen, an 8-inch Driver Information Center, and the signature fold-flat front passenger seat, setting the tone for practicality. It feels complete, not pared back. The LT trim builds on this with subtle refinements, including keyless open and start, remote start, roof rails, and upgraded wheels, improving everyday usability without complicating the experience. The ACTIV trim introduces a more adventurous direction, featuring the 1.3L turbo engine, paired with off-road suspension tuning, a functional skid plate, and dual-outlet exhaust. This trim offers a rugged, yet refined option, with exterior details leaning toward off-road capability and Evotex interior accents that balance durability and sophistication. The RS trim, focusing on visual appeal, shares the 1.3L turbo engine but adds 19-inch wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and red interior accents, creating a more dynamic and engaging driving experience.

Two turbocharged engines define the Trailblazer’s performance. The 1.2L turbo engine, producing 137 hp and 162 lbs. ft. of torque, is ideal for city driving and daily use. It’s efficient and smooth, making it a solid option for getting around Orangeburg. The 1.3L turbocharged engine increases output to 155 hp and 174 lbs. ft. of torque, providing more power when merging onto highways like I-95 or driving through areas like the outskirts of Summerville. FWD is standard, with AWD available to add traction when conditions shift, making the Trailblazer perfect for the occasional wet road or uneven surface around local parks like Santee State Park or driving near Lake Marion. Towing capacity reaches 1,000 lbs., which is ideal for hauling light loads on weekend trips, but the Trailblazer’s true strength lies in its ability to offer flexibility and confidence across a variety of driving conditions.

The Trailblazer’s interior is designed with usability in mind. Seating for 5 is arranged in a cabin that feels spacious, with logically placed controls and durable materials made for regular use. The fold-flat front passenger seat stands out, extending cargo space to roughly 8.5 feet, making it easy to carry longer items that typically wouldn’t fit in a compact SUV. Whether you’re headed to local spots like Edisto Beach or need space for gear for a weekend trip to the Congaree National Park, the Trailblazer’s flexible cargo space adapts with a 60/40 split-folding rear seat. Higher trims offer refined finishes, and available features like a hands-free power liftgate add convenience.

The technology inside the Trailblazer is straightforward and easy to use. The 11-inch touchscreen, paired with an 8-inch Driver Information Center, creates an interface that’s both modern and responsive. Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for seamless connectivity during commutes through the town or long drives on I-26. Available wireless charging and a Bose® audio system elevate the in-cabin experience, making every drive enjoyable.

The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer comes equipped with comprehensive safety features. Chevy Safety Assist includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® automatic high beams. Available features like Adaptive Cruise Control provide added convenience, particularly during highway driving or on longer trips through rural areas around Orangeburg.
