Petite but powerful, the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer is an excellent addition to your driveway. Chevy’s extra-small crossover not only looks sharp, but its dynamic handling and turbocharged powertrain options make it very fun to drive. Inside, you’ll find more than enough space for you and your loved ones to keep comfy. And the cabin is also home to all the latest safety and infotainment tech gear.
What’s new for the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer?
The Trailblazer introduces a few changes for 2022, including standard satellite radio for every trim model. And shoppers can now add a trailer tow package, which helps this extra-small crossover tow max loads of 1,000 pounds. If you’ve got a Jet Ski at home, this new package is meant for you. Finally, the entry-level Trailblazer L trim model has been discontinued, making the handsomely equipped LS the new base model.
Why choose the 2022 Trailblazer?
Drive home in a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer because you want a very sporty subcompact crossover. Compared to other models in this segment, the Trailblazer feels as comfortable coasting down winding highways as it does navigating tightly packed downtown spaces. Its agile handling makes it very fun to drive, a very appealing feature if you spend a lot of time on the road.
And the Trailblazer also keeps costs down without depriving you of modern features. For example, the standard lineup includes safety aids (lane keeping assist and forward collision mitigation), modern touchscreen infotainment, and complete smartphone integration (via wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay).
To take your Trailblazer for an off-road trek, check out the Active trim model. It adds both increased power and rugged features, such as underbody skid plates and standard all-wheel drive.
What’s under the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer hood?
There are two Trailblazer engine options:
- Turbocharged 1.2L three-cylinder engine (137 horsepower, 162 lb-ft of torque) + continuously variable transmission (CVT)
- Optional turbo 1.3L three-cylinder engine (155 hp, 174 lb-ft) + nine-speed automatic transmission
Every Trailblazer with the standard powertrain has front-wheel drive. And the optional powertrain always comes with all-wheel drive, giving you both more power and a sportier driving dynamic. But every Trailblazer delivers impressive speed and agile handling, making it one of the more fun options in the subcompact crossover segment.
