Chevrolet Trailblazer video.
Last Updated:
This is a very short video about the Chevrolet Trailblazer I was driving a while ago.
The version I had was a top-of-the-line AWD Activ model with a few options like the panoramic sunroof, Convenience package, and upgraded sound system for a total of $33,800 before destination. Which seems pretty expensive. However, a Honda HR-V EX-L is just about $2000 less. And doesn’t offer the panoramic roof.
Besides the bright blue color, it looks pretty invisible. It’s kind of cute but doesn’t stand out in any way like the Bronco Sport.
The interior design is pretty pleasant. However, there are too many different materials and trims all over. The seats alone seem to be covered by at least 4 different materials.
The 7-speaker Bose system is quite a disappointment and doesn’t live up to its prestigious name.
The small 3-cylinder turbo engine idles quietly. But becomes a bit noisy once it gets going. It’s not a bad sound but it’s always there.
When compared to the Honda HR-V, the driving experience is drastically different. The Honda feels much more solid, refined, and smooth. With a very pleasant steering feel. While it is a bit cheaper than the Trailblazer, it actually feels much more expensive.
The Trailblazer is in a weird spot in Chevrolet‘s current lineup. At $23,100 to start, it competes with the newer Chevrolet Trax. And at around $35,000 loaded, it competes with mostly better alternatives.
It now even competes with the new Chevrolet Equinox EV. Which has been getting excellent reviews so far.
I hope you enjoy this short video, as well as my uneducated and unprofessional comments.
Not that bad for what it is.
But is it based on some korean vehicle?
If so, id rather get the Honda HRV.
