Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine

Available on ACTIV and RS, the ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine pairs smart engineering with smooth, responsive power delivery to energize every drive. Its broad torque curve helps you pull away from stops confidently and merge with composure, while the compact turbo layout contributes to excellent drivability in town and on the highway. When equipped with available AWD, the powertrain works in harmony with the chassis to put traction and control where you want it, whether you are negotiating rain-slicked streets or heading out on a gravel road. The dual-outlet exhaust on certain trims adds a sporty visual cue that underscores Trailblazer’s eager character. With a tuned balance of efficiency and punch, the ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine is ideal for drivers who want lively performance without sacrificing the day-to-day refinement that makes commuting and errands easier.

Chevy Safety Assist

Chevy Safety Assist brings a collection of advanced driver assistance features designed to add peace of mind on every trip. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking can warn you of a potential front-end collision and help apply the brakes if needed. Front Pedestrian Braking is engineered to detect pedestrians ahead and can apply hard emergency braking when appropriate. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning helps you stay centered and alerts you if you drift over lane markings, while Following Distance Indicator shows the time gap to the vehicle ahead to encourage safer spacing. IntelliBeam® automatically toggles between high and low beams based on traffic conditions, helping you see more at night without distracting other drivers. Together, these technologies support you without getting in your way, enhancing situational awareness whether you are navigating busy urban streets or cruising open highways.

11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen

Trailblazer’s cabin puts control and clarity front and center with a standard 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen. The expansive display provides crisp visuals and an intuitive layout, making it easy to access navigation, media, phone, and vehicle settings at a glance. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ eliminate cable clutter and allow you to keep your phone in your pocket or bag while you manage calls, messages, playlists, and maps from the screen. Available wireless charging integrates cleanly so you can top off devices without searching for a cord, while the available Bose audio system delivers rich, balanced sound tailored to the interior. The system’s responsiveness and thoughtful interface create a seamless tech experience, ensuring you spend less time navigating menus and more time enjoying the drive.

Standard fold-flat front passenger seat

One of Trailblazer’s signature versatility advantages is the standard fold-flat front passenger seat, which opens up to 8.5 feet of maximum cargo length. That means you can load items many compact SUVs struggle with, such as flat-pack furniture, area rugs, ladders, or long sporting gear. The rear seatbacks fold to create a broad, usable load floor, and smart storage spaces throughout the cabin handle the smaller items of daily life. Whether you are bringing home a weekend project, transporting a keyboard for band practice, or packing hiking gear for a mountain trail, the interior quickly adapts to changing needs. This thoughtful flexibility is one of the key reasons the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer is so easy to live with—there’s no need to second-guess whether your plans fit the vehicle.

Hands-Free Power Liftgate

An available hands-free power liftgate adds convenience you will appreciate from the first grocery run. With the key fob in your pocket or bag, simply perform a kicking motion under the rear bumper and the liftgate opens automatically, revealing an easy-load cargo area with a low liftover height. It is just as helpful when your arms are full of sports equipment or luggage. Paired with the flexible seating layout and flat load floor, Trailblazer makes quick work of everyday tasks. The feature integrates thoughtfully into the SUV’s design, maintaining a sleek profile while adding the kind of real-world utility that saves time and hassle. Add in available roof rails for bikes or cargo boxes, and you have an SUV that is ready to carry more of what you love, with fewer compromises.
