2021 Chevy Trailblazer Coming This Spring to Runde Auto Group

The Chevrolet Trailblazer will be reincarnated this spring.

The mid-size SUV that was popular in the early 2000s is back with an all-new design for the 2021 model year.

Size-wise, the 2021 Chevy Trailblazer will fill a slot between the larger Chevrolet Equinox and the smaller Chevrolet Trax. It’s starting MSRP will be under $20,000.

The vehicle features sporty, youthful features like a two-tone roof, taut bodyside lines, a sleek roofline, and a bold hood shape.

The Trailblazer’s RS trim level features a black Chevy bowtie and a performance-inspired mesh grille. The ACTIV trim has a larger opening on the dual-port grille for a more rugged look.

Powered by either a 1.2L turbo or 1.3L turbo engine, the Trailblazer will deliver up to 155 horsepower. Both engines are paired with a standard Continuously Variable Transmission with selectable stop/start capability. A nine-speed automatic transmission is also available on Trailblazers equipped with the 1.3L engine and all-wheel drive.

The 2021 Chevy Trailblazer is available with Chevy’s selectable AWD, also found in the Blazer and Traverse. Selectable AWD allows drivers to decide whether to activate their AWD system in off-road or inclement weather situations, or to deactivate when AWD performance is not required, to achieve improved fuel economy.

Drive modes on front-wheel drive models include:

• Normal: Tailored for daily commuting and focused on ride comfort
• Snow: Provides more progressive throttle input for improved vehicle acceleration on snow- and ice-covered roads
• Sport: Modifies steering effort and shifting for a sportier feel and response

AWD models add unique calibrations for more rear-wheel torque at lower speeds to improve the driving experience on moderately steep and unpaved surfaces.

Inside, the Trailblazer will feature Chevy’s latest infotainment system, which provides the ability to use two Bluetooth-paired phones hands-free concurrently.

It will feature 40/60 split folding second-row seats, enabling the vehicle to accommodate objects up to 8.5 feet long. Overall storage capacity is rated up to 54.4 cubic feet when the second row is folded.

Standard safety features abound in the TrailBlazer, including:

• Forward Collision Alert
• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• IntelliBeam Headlamps (Auto High Beam Assist)
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Rear Vision Camera
• Teen Driver
• Rear Seat Reminder3
• OnStar4

Also available is adaptive cruise control, rear park assist, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, and an HD rear vision camera.
