2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Get to Know the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer at Best Chevrolet

The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer features everything drivers are looking for in a budget-friendly subcompact crossover SUV. It has ample seating for five, fuel economy that competes well within its class, styling reminiscent of its larger counterparts, and generous cargo space behind the rear seats.

Its main rivals include the Volkswagen Taos and the Subaru Crosstrek. The Trailblazer is also comparable to its sibling, the Chevrolet Trax, which offers similar dimensions and functionality at a lower price. The Trailblazer is available in four trim levels: LS, LT, ACTIV, and RS.

The Trailblazer has received minor aesthetic updates for 2026, following a refresh in 2024. The exterior colors Crimson Metallic and Nitro Yellow Metallic have been removed from the lineup to introduce the new White Sands and Apex Red hues. Additionally, the spare tire is now optional, but a standard tire inflator kit has been included to fill the gap.

Interior Review of the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Upon entering the Trailblazer, occupants will find that the driving position is elevated, similar to larger SUVs. There is ample space in the rear seat for two adults to sit comfortably. The front seats also provide a firm yet comfortable and supportive experience.

Although the majority of the interior features black plastic, it doesn't come across as cheap. Higher-tier trims include chrome accents and colored trim elements that enhance the cabin's luxurious feel, more than one might expect at this price range.

For a compact SUV, the Trailblazer is impressive in its capacity for transporting items. Its spacious cargo area can be enlarged not only by folding down the rear seats but also by adjusting the front passenger seat. You can easily fit six carry-on suitcases behind the Trailblazer's rear seat. With the back seat folded down, it can accommodate even more cargo.

The driver benefits from an 8.0-inch digital gauge display, while an expansive 11.0-inch touchscreen serves as the focal point of the dashboard. A six-speaker sound system comes standard, whereas a Bose seven-speaker sound system is available through the Adaptive Cruise and Sound Package on the ACTIV and RS trims.

USB-A and USB-C ports are also included as standard features. Drivers can also expect wireless integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Exterior Review of the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer sports a bold look, with exterior details that vary across trims. You can get a Trailblazer with dark or Chrome accents on the grille, depending on the trim you choose. Meanwhile, the ACTIV trim is a great choice for off-road enthusiasts, with its rugged styling. This trim features blacked-out trim pieces and a skid plate.

Chevrolet has also upgraded the Trailblazer’s daytime running lamps to LED technology, giving the SUV a more modern look. The top two trims also have an optional two-tone contrasting roof, which provides a more striking appearance to the Trailblazer.

The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer is available in the following color options:

  • Summit White
  • Sterling Gray Metallic
  • Mosaic Black Metallic
  • Cacti Green
  • Marina Blue Metallic
  • Iridescent Pearl Tricoat

Power and Performance of the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The Trailblazer offers a choice of two 3-cylinder turbocharged engines. The base 1.2-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged engine produces 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. It receives a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

The optional 1.3-liter, 3-cylinder, 155-horsepower engine produces 174 lb-ft of torque. It is paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission, which offers a more refined and smoother ride than the CVT and is therefore worth the upgrade.

Both engines accelerate at a rate that is typical for vehicles in this category. However, at lower speeds, the Trailblazer feels more responsive than its acceleration metrics might imply.

While not primarily designed for towing, this Chevy SUV can handle up to 1,000 pounds, which is enough for hauling small dirt bikes, scooters, or canoes.
