Chevy Trailblazer Review: Blazing Engines
Load up your Chevy Trailblazer with your choice of engine. The model comes with two engine options: the ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo engine or the ECOTEC 1.2L Turbo engine. Here's a comparison of the two:
ECOTEC 1.2L Turbo Engine | ECOTEC 1.3L Turbo Engine |
- 137 horsepower
- 162 lb-ft torque
- Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT)
- EPA-estimated 30 combined MPG
| - 155 horsepower
- 174 lb-ft Torque
- 9-speed automatic transmission
- EPA-estimated 28 combined MPG
|
The standard engine is the 1.2L Turbo engine. This engine reaches its impressive fuel efficiency, thanks in part to its Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT). This transmission shifts seamlessly through a continuous range of gear ratios. It optimizes your speed and allows your engine to use every drop of fuel.
The 1.3L Turbo engine, however, still manages to clock in an EPA-estimated 28 combined MPG. This makes the model versatile enough to handle city streets and long-distance roadways. Plus, its 174 lb-ft of torque will come in handy for hauling work or recreational equipment.
Chevy Trailblazer Review: Superior Interior
Now, let's take a look at what kind of measurements the Chevy Trailblazer has to offer:
Headroom (front/rear) | 40 in. / 38.4 in |
Legroom (front/rear) | 40.9 in / 39.4 in |
Cargo Volume to Seat 1 | 54.4 cu. ft. |
Cargo Volume to Seat 2 | 25.3 cu. ft. |
The Chevy Trailblazer utilizes its 98.2 cubic feet of passenger volume and divides its nicely to rear passengers by allowing over 39 inches of legroom for them to spread out. This kind of space is perfect for adults and kids, making the Chevy Trailblazer a perfect road-trip vehicle.
If you're loading in some cargo, check out the two-tier adaptable cargo storage system. It accommodates multiple configurations for seating, storage, tailgating, and more.
The model also comes prepared for any vertically challenging items with 8.5 feet of cargo length. Drivers can easily fit and transport large items, like furniture, thanks to the model's storing options.
Get rear access by enabling the available hands-free power liftgate. You can open or close it with just a kick.
Chevy Trailblazer Review: Focused Trim Levels
There are four available trims for the Chevy Trailblazer:
Starting from the LS base model all the way up to the RS, you'll find more and more added luxuries. Depending on which model you go home with, here are just some of the features you may find:
- LED fog lights
- Silver-painted roof-rails

Though the features above are dependent on which model you choose, one thing that is available for all trims is all-wheel drive.
