The Top Tech Features of the 2025 Chevy Trailblazer
The Trailblazer's 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster sits next to an 11.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with features like wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. A six-speaker stereo system is also standard; however, you have the option of a seven-speaker Bose system as part of the SUV’s Adaptive Cruise and Sound Package should you wish to have a more thumping soundtrack on your journey.
A Plush Interior that Meets Your Family's Needs
Slide into the Trailblazer, and right away you’ll notice the higher driving position that gives you that bigger SUV feel without the bulk. The back seat is surprisingly roomy, with enough space for two adults to ride comfortably without feeling cramped. Most of the interior is black plastic, but it’s done in a way that doesn’t feel cheap.
On the upper models, Chevy mixes in chrome accents and colored trim for a more polished, upscale vibe. One of the Trailblazer’s best tricks, though, is how versatile the cargo space is. You can fold down the back seats—and even the front passenger seat—so it’s ready to haul whatever you’ve got.
What's Under the Trailblazer's Hood?
While the Chevy Trailblazer isn't the most powerful compact SUV out there, it is reliable in getting you around town or on a weekend adventure. The Trailblazer features a standard turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder, delivering 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. It mates with a continuously variable automatic transmission (or CVT). You also have the option of a turbocharged 1.3-liter engine, delivering 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
How Does the Trailblazer Fare in Fuel Economy?
The Trailblazer very much holds its own when it comes to mileage in a crowded compact SUV market. The 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine gets 30 mpg combined, 30 mpg city, and 31 mpg highway. Should you use E85 in the smaller engine, those numbers plummet to 22 mpg.
The optional 1.3-liter engine, paired with front-wheel drive, improves the combined fuel economy to 31 mpg, with 29 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. All-wheel drive drops combined fuel economy to 27 mpg.
What Are the Changes for the 2025 Chevy Trailblazer?
The Trailblazer underwent a significant design refresh for 2024, so this year’s model has only a few tweaks. One color—Marina Blue Metallic—has been added to the SUV’s color palette, and its base powertrain can now run using E85 fuel.
