2027 Trailblazer Model Review: Augusta, GA

Make More of Every Detour in the 2027 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The 2027 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a small SUV with an adventurous personality and a practical approach to everyday travel. It gives Chevrolet shoppers an option with space for people, adaptable storage, and a choice of equipment to match the way they drive.

The updated lineup introduces the Z71 alongside the LT and RS. Each brings a different look and equipment mix, so choosing a Trailblazer starts with what you want your SUV to do. Think about the passengers you carry, the places you park, and the gear that comes along when a routine day turns into a weekend outing.

If you’re exploring the 2027 Chevrolet Trailblazer at Milton Ruben Chevrolet, consider how its size and features fit both your regular trips and your less predictable plans. The details below can help you narrow down the configuration that suits you.

Find Your Fit Among the Trailblazer Trims

The 2027 Chevrolet Trailblazer trim levels offer three approaches to exterior style:

• LT: Silver-painted lower fascia inserts and 17-inch Deep Space Gray machined aluminum wheels, with available packages for added comfort
• RS: Black lower fascia inserts, red RS badging, 19-inch Carbon Flash Metallic machined aluminum wheels, and a wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel; a Mosaic Black Metallic two-tone roof is included with RS exterior colors other than Mosaic Black Metallic, with other roof choices depending on body color
• Z71: 17-inch Android Dark Gray machined aluminum wheels, sport-terrain tires, and distinctive exterior badging

The RS and Z71 both include dual exhaust outlets with different tip designs. Compare colors and available equipment to find the combination that fits your preferences.

Interior Features

Inside the Trailblazer, five seats are arranged across two rows. Front legroom measures 40.9 inches, while rear passengers have 39 inches of legroom. The cabin also includes standard single-zone automatic climate control, rear air vents, and Active Noise Cancellation. A center console with retractable cupholders gives front occupants a place for drinks and smaller items.

The rear cargo area holds 25.3 cubic feet behind the second row. Fold that row to open up as much as 54.4 cubic feet behind the front seats. The 40/60-split rear bench lets you balance passenger seating with space for longer belongings. The front passenger seatback also folds flat as standard, offering another way to arrange the cabin for a long item. Always check that your load fits and is secured before setting off.

The LT has cloth seating, while the RS and Z71 use Evotex seating surfaces with distinct interior accents. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard on the RS and Z71. Both are available on the LT through the LT Cold Weather Package, which also adds a wrapped steering wheel.

An eight-way power driver's seat with two-way power lumbar adjustment comes standard on the RS and Z71. On the LT, it is included in the available Convenience Package, which requires the LT Cold Weather Package. For longer drives, take time to adjust the seat and the standard tilt-and-telescopic steering column to find a comfortable position.

Exterior Details

The Trailblazer's proportions make it a manageable SUV to consider for daily parking and trips around town. Its overall length ranges from 173.90 to 174.19 inches depending on trim, and its width is 71.20 inches. Measure your garage or preferred parking space to see how the vehicle fits your routine.

LED headlamps, LED taillamps, and signature LED daytime running lamps are standard. Heated, power-adjustable exterior mirrors are standard as well, and they fold manually when needed. Roof-mounted side rails add a functional detail; available cross rails provide another option for carrying compatible equipment. Follow accessory instructions and loading limits when using the roof.

A panoramic power sunroof is available on all three trims. The available AutoSense Power Liftgate uses presence detection for hands-free access to the cargo area. It is included in the Convenience Package on the LT and Z71 and in the RS Convenience Package on the RS.

Exterior Paint Options

Color and roof combinations vary by trim:

• White Sands
• Apex Red, RS only
• Summit White
• Mosaic Black Metallic
• Sunrise Orange, LT and Z71 only
• Marina Blue Metallic, RS only and extra cost
• Lagoon, LT and Z71 only
• Sterling Gray Metallic

Turbo Power and Drivetrain Choices

The Trailblazer's standard ECOTEC 1.3-liter turbo engine produces 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard across the lineup. The engine's torque is available from 1,600 to 4,000 rpm, a useful detail to consider when comparing how different powertrains deliver their output.

Front-wheel drive is standard on the LT and RS, and all-wheel drive is available on both. The Z71 comes with all-wheel drive as standard equipment. Consider your usual roads, the weather you encounter, and the conditions you expect to drive in when choosing a configuration. All-wheel drive can help manage traction, but it does not replace suitable tires or attentive driving. An engine stop-start system is standard and includes an override. Automatic vehicle hold and an electronic parking brake are also standard. These features give drivers additional controls to become familiar with as they settle into the vehicle.

When considering 2027 Chevrolet Trailblazer fuel economy and performance, keep in mind that fuel use depends on factors such as driving habits, traffic, terrain, and vehicle configuration. Compare the drivetrain and equipment that suit your routine, and ask us about the details of the vehicle you are considering.

Technology Features

The Trailblazer separates its central infotainment screen from the information display ahead of the driver. This layout gives you a place to manage compatible phone functions and entertainment while keeping vehicle information in view. The following features are standard across the lineup:

• 11.3-inch center touchscreen: A color display provides access to infotainment functions and settings
• 11-inch Driver Information Center: A separate display presents vehicle information ahead of the driver
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: Integration connects compatible phones without a cable
• Google built-in compatibility: Advanced voice recognition with Google Gemini, in-vehicle apps, and personalized profiles are part of the infotainment system
• Front USB-C ports: Two connections in the instrument panel give front occupants a place to connect devices

A six-speaker audio system with an amplifier is standard. Wireless Phone Charging and two rear charge-only USB-C ports are available through the applicable Convenience Package. Connected features depend on factors such as compatible devices, network access, and applicable service terms. Check the specific vehicle for details before relying on a particular function.

Driver Assistance for Everyday Awareness

The Trailblazer includes standard driver-assistance equipment designed for a variety of situations, including following traffic and maneuvering in a parking area. Five features to know are:

• Adaptive Cruise Control: Helps maintain a selected following distance under appropriate conditions
• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking: Can assist with braking in certain potential collision situations
• Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking: Can help with braking when the system detects a pedestrian or bicyclist ahead
• Blind Zone Steering Assist: Can provide steering assistance in certain lane-change situations
• Front and Rear Park Assist: Helps alert the driver to detected objects during certain parking maneuvers

An HD Rear Vision Camera, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning are also standard. Teen Driver offers configurable settings associated with a key fob and an in-vehicle report card that can support conversations with a newer driver.

For child restraints, the rear row has lower anchors at the outboard positions and three top tether anchors. Front, knee, seat-mounted side-impact, and roof rail-mounted head-curtain airbags are standard. Consult the owner's manual for child-seat installation and system limitations. Driver-assistance features do not replace attentive driving or the need to monitor your surroundings.
