Overview

The Trailblazer was launched on 16 April 2019 at the 18th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition alongside the Tracker, that both replace the outgoing Trax. The Trailblazer is aimed for developed markets, while the Tracker is aimed for emerging markets.[2][3] Developed by GM Korea, the Trailblazer is assembled in Incheon, South Korea.

The Trailblazer made its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2019, and sales began in early 2020 as a 2021 model year vehicle. Chevrolet announced that the MSRP will be priced below US$20,000. There will be five trim levels: L, LS, LT, ACTIV and RS. The latter two will come standard with dual exhaust and top of the line features.[4] The ACTIV and RS will also feature a two-tone roof.[5]

Engine and drivetrain options

L, LS, and LT front-wheel-drive models will come standard with the 1.2-liter inline 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, while LS and LT all-wheel-drive models will include the larger 1.3-liter inline 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine. The latter will also be optional on the LT Front Wheel Drive (FWD) trim level). All RS and ACTIV models, regardless of drivetrain, will include the 1.3-liter engine as standard equipment. All Trailblazers will be equipped with continuously variable transmission as standard.

Infotainment

The Trailblazer will feature a standard Chevrolet Infotainment 3 touchscreen infotainment system with an AM/FM stereo radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth for hands-free calling and wireless stereo audio streaming, USB and auxiliary inputs, and a rearview backup camera system, as well as either a four-speaker or six-speaker audio system, OnStar with 4G LTE Wi-Fi capabilities, and either a seven-inch or eight-inch touchscreen display. Up-level Trailblazer models will offer Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, a Bose premium audio system with an amplifier, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and HD Radio. GPS navigation will also be offered as an optional feature on up-level trims of the Trailblazer.

In January 16, 2020, the Trailblazer was launched in South Korea. The Korean-market model is larger in dimension than Trailblazers sold in other markets, with a length of 4,425 mm and width of 1,810 mm.[6]
