An Exercise In Mediocrity: Chevrolet's Trailblazer Debuts In A Sea Of Non-Descript Crossovers

An Exercise In Mediocrity: Chevrolet's Trailblazer Debuts In A Sea Of Non-Descript Crossovers
The Trailblazer joins the Chevrolet portfolio in early 2020, and with this new entry Chevrolet offers customers one of the broadest lineups of crossovers and SUVs. Positioned between the Trax and Equinox, the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer will join the fast-growing small SUV segment.

“The Trailblazer’s great design enables more personalization,” said Steve Majoros, director of Chevrolet passenger car and crossover marketing. “Trailblazer is a continuation of the design language for Chevy’s crossover family and extends our momentum into one of the industry’s fastest-growing segments.”

The Chevrolet Trailblazer will include an RS trim with standard two-tone roof that allows drivers to purchase a vehicle that reflects their lifestyle.

The Trailblazer’s unique individuality is paired with standard active safety features* including Front Pedestrian Braking, Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. It also offers optional Adaptive Cruise Control - Camera, Rear Park Assist and a High Definition Rear Vision Camera that provides additional assistance to customers while parking.

“These features deliver added confidence and peace of mind behind the wheel, helping drivers monitor the vehicle’s surroundings and the driving environment with an available combination of camera, short-range radars and ultrasonic sensors,” said Majoros.

Product specifications and pricing will be shared later. The new Trailblazer is expected to start arriving at dealers in early 2020.

*Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver's responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather, and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle's owner's manual for more important feature limitations and information.

It is manufactured in Mexico and is based on a shortened Traverse platform. It has nothing in common with the Buick Encore.

It's also the basis for the new Buick "small" crossover - Encore GX

This is a brilliant move for Chevrolet. It looks good and will be in the heart of the market in a way that the Cruze never was.

My bad. I confused this with the Blazer.
It looks good and Chevy needs a vehicle in this segment. Should do well.

No one is going to bring up how it ripped of the Nissan Kicks. But when the Kia Seltos is finally be on this blog the Kia will be accused of copying and ignoring the Tusker concept they unveiled last year in India.

No one is going to bring up the Lexus signature grille huh? Had it been a Hyundai then that's what would had been said. But because it isnt Korean let's all play dumb as it is original.
