2023 Chevrolet TrailBlazer review

1. A trim for every driver

The 2023 Trailblazer is available in four trim configurations (the LS, LT, Activ, and RS)—so there's a trim for practically every driver. If you're looking for something relatively simple, the base LS trim still comes with a decent amount of standard features. This includes wireless smartphone integration, a seven-inch touchscreen, and some driver-assistance equipment in the form of forward-collision mitigation and lane-keep assist. Meanwhile, the Activ and RS trims are more extensively equipped with features like simulated leather upholstery, and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel.

2. Turbocharged engine options

Two turbocharged engine configurations are available on the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, so you'll enjoy zesty acceleration no matter which trim you end up with. The standard engine is a 1.2L three-cylinder turbo at 137 hp, although models equipped with all-wheel drive are outfitted with a 1.3L three-cylinder turbo instead that's good for 155 hp.

3. Spacious cabin and cargo area

Even as a subcompact SUV, the 2023 Trailblazer offers a surprising amount of cabin and cargo space. Up to five passengers can sit comfortably in this vehicle, and rear-seat passengers will enjoy 39.4 inches of legroom. That's enough to accommodate even taller adults. There's a generous 25.3 cu-ft of dedicated storage space located behind the second row. By folding the rear seats down, you can extend this up to 54.4 cu-ft, which may come in handy when you need to haul larger or longer items (like awkwardly sized furniture or a set of golf clubs).

4. Innovative tech features

Where the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer really stands out is in its availability of innovative tech features. Even its base LS trim comes standard with wireless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™, as well as a seven-inch touchscreen display and an available Wi-Fi hotspot.

5. Plenty of package options

Speaking of package options, you'll find no fewer than four of them available on the 2023 Trailblazer. Aside from the Technology package, some trims are also available with a Sun and Liftgate package (which adds a panoramic sunroof and hands-free liftgate), a Driver Confidence package (which adds more driver-assistance features), and a Convenience package (which tacks on additional USB charging ports, automatic climate control, and a larger eight-inch touchscreen display).
