A Harmonious Exterior
The Trailblazer boasts a harmonious, robust, and solid exterior.
The Chevrolet Trailblazer’s exterior is not exceptionally beautiful, but it exudes harmony, robustness, and solidity. The front grille, featuring the characteristic dual chrome grille of Chevrolet, resembles the stylish muscle car Camaro. The car is equipped with automatic Halogen headlights with impressive LED daytime running lights. The front bumper integrates fog lights and four sensors.
The side profile of the Chevrolet Trailblazer showcases its large size, boasting the longest wheelbase in its segment at 4,887mm. The car features large door mirrors with integrated turn signals and blind spot warning systems. It also sports eye-catching 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels, steps, roof rails, and firm body creases. With a ground clearance of nearly 221mm, the Trailblazer can wade through water up to 800mm deep.
The taillights add a touch of elegance to the Trailblazer’s rear.
The rear of the Trailblazer may not be as appealing as the front, but it still stands out with sporty LED taillights, high-mount brake lights, fog lights, and a reversing camera with four sensors. These features enhance the practicality of the American vehicle. The rear storage area is still spacious even with all three rows of seats in use.
Beautiful and Modern Interior
Stepping inside the Trailblazer’s cabin, one can immediately appreciate the elegance, modernity, and convenience that it offers.
The Trailblazer’s interior showcases beauty and modernity.
The entire interior is wrapped in soft leather with a luxurious black and gray color scheme. The materials used inside the car are of high quality and demonstrate attention to detail. The power-assisted steering wheel features basic function buttons such as cruise control, hands-free calling, and customizable forward collision warning. The center console houses an 8-inch touch screen integrated with the MyLink infotainment system. The car also boasts automatic air conditioning with 3-zone ventilation and cooling, making it comfortable for rear passengers. The control buttons are easily accessible and provide convenience and safety.
The Trailblazer offers ample storage space with compartments provided for all three rows of seats. The third row can comfortably accommodate two adults over 1.7 meters tall. The second-row seats, though not adjustable, enhance passenger comfort.
The Trailblazer’s storage space is also impressive. When using all three rows of seats, the rear storage area can hold three medium-sized suitcases. The second-row seats fold in a 60/40 split, and the third-row seats fold in a 50/50 split, further expanding the available cargo space.
Advanced Safety Equipment
The Trailblazer prioritizes safety, ensuring drivers feel confident on the road. The 2.8L 4×4 AT LTZ version comes equipped with a comprehensive range of advanced safety features, including Traction Control System (TCS), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Emergency Braking Assist (PBA), Anti-rollover System (ARP), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Descent Control (HDC), Hill Start Assist System (HSA), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), front and rear parking sensors, and a reversing camera with a total of eight sensors.
An impressive feature of the Trailblazer is remote start, which allows users to turn on the air conditioning from a distance of 100 meters. This feature is exclusive to the Trailblazer in its segment, providing convenience during hot summer days. With electronic locks, pressing and holding the start button starts the engine and automatically adjusts the temperature to 25 degrees Celsius to cool the interior. For added safety, the engine automatically turns off if you don’t enter the car within 10 minutes.
The Trailblazer is also equipped with blind spot warning, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and cross-traffic alert systems. These systems provide valuable assistance to drivers, helping them avoid potential risks. However, it’s worth noting that the top-of-the-line version only includes two airbags for the driver and front passenger.
Exceptional Driving Experience
The Trailblazer delivers an exceptional driving experience. Sitting behind the wheel of this 7-seater SUV, drivers feel at ease and can enjoy the thrill of the road.
The Trailblazer provides a great driving feel.
The Trailblazer is powered by a 2.8L Duramax diesel engine, offering a maximum power of 197 horsepower at 3,600 rpm and a maximum torque of 500 Nm at 2,000 rpm – the highest in its segment. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 2-wheel drive system, providing intelligent operation for excellent fuel efficiency. According to the manufacturer, the Trailblazer has a combined cycle fuel consumption of 9.1 liters/100km.
The 2-wheel drive system on the Trailblazer performs well. Testing the electronic differential lock system on challenging off-road terrain, the Trailblazer effortlessly switches from single-wheel drive to two-wheel drive at speeds up to 120km/h. It also features a high ground clearance of up to 221mm and a wading depth of up to 800mm. Additionally, the Trailblazer offers an intermediate drive mode that is efficient and convenient for towing or rescue operations.
On the highway, the Trailblazer provides a comfortable and secure feeling thanks to its solid chassis. Even at speeds over 100km/h and over potholes and undulations, the car remains stable and doesn’t bounce around. Despite being a diesel vehicle, the Trailblazer has excellent sound insulation, particularly when the engine becomes hot, ensuring a quiet and enjoyable ride.
The mentioned safety equipment provides valuable assistance during vehicle operation. For example, when another vehicle enters the blind spot, warning displays appear on the side mirrors. If the vehicle gets too close to the vehicle in front, a warning with an image appears on the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel along with an audible alert. The hill start assist and hill descent control functions are extremely helpful when driving on mountainous roads.
The Optimal Choice
Built on decades of SUV experience from Chevrolet, the Trailblazer is designed to be an ideal versatile sports car for modern customers. With its versatility for long-distance or off-road driving, a robust and solid exterior, convenient and flexible interior, and a wide range of versions and colors to choose from, the Trailblazer is the optimal choice in the Vietnamese 7-seater SUV segment.
