A Trim for Every Driver  

One of the strongest selling points of the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer is how much variety it offers across its lineup. Each trim brings its own personality to the table, so you’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all experience.  

The well-equipped LS trim is the entry point, riding on 17” silver-painted aluminum wheels, boasting a standard 11” HD color touchscreen and a fold-flat front passenger seat that lets you bring both passengers and all their stuff. The LT adds Keyless Open and Start, a remote vehicle starter system, and roof rails. If you’re drawn to adventure, the ACTIV is built with off-road-tuned suspension, a functional skid plate, and the ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine. Pair it with all-wheel drive for extra grip on Michigan’s landscapes and in any season. Sporty and assertive, the RS trim shows off 19” High Gloss Black wheels, a heated flat-bottom steering wheel, red contrast stitching inside, and bold RS badging.  

Technology That Keeps You Connected  

The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer is equipped with intuitive tech that makes every drive more enjoyable and connected. The standard 11” HD color touchscreen features wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, so you can keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. Your playlists pop with the available Bose® premium audio system. For your convenience, wireless charging is available, and Push-Button Start comes standard. The available dual-pane panoramic power sunroof is a nice touch for drivers who love to let the Michigan sky in. With an impressive 39” of 2nd-row legroom, this cabin feels surprisingly airy and open, making the entire driving experience feel more premium than the pricepoint.   

Capability and Versatility  

Don’t let its compact size fool you. The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer offers available all-wheel drive and 3 drive modes on ACTIV and RS trims. The standard 1.2L Turbo 3-cylinder engine produces 137 hp and 162 lbs.-ft. of torque, while the available ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo 3-cylinder boosts that to 155 hp and 174 lb.-ft. of torque. You’ll have plenty of energy for highway merging and still get fuel efficiency of up to 31 MPG combined.   

Inside, the Trailblazer comfortably seats up to 5 adults and comes standard with a fold-flat front passenger seat that allows up to 8.5 ft. of maximum cargo length. Even with a full house of passengers, you’ll have over 25 cu. ft. of cargo area behind the rear seats for groceries, beach chairs, golf clubs, or whatever the day brings. Fold both rear seats down and that opens up to 54.4 cu. ft. The split-folding rear seat and fold-flat front seat means you can pop a passenger behind you and flat-packed furniture at the same time if you like. Whether you’re hauling gear for a camping trip or running errands around Houghton Lake, MI, this SUV adapts to your needs with ease.  

Safety Features You Can Count On  

The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of 6 advanced driver assistance features. These include Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, IntelliBeam® automatic high-beam assist, and a Following Distance Indicator. They work together to monitor the road, alert you to trouble, and step in to stop or steer if you don’t react in time. 

Standard equipment also includes an HD Rear Vision Camera and 10 airbags, while options for Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert add even more peace of mind for daily driving.
