2026 Chevy Trailblazer

The 2026 Trailblazer is offered in four trims, each tailored for a different driving lifestyle. The LS serves as the base model with practical styling, including 17-inch Silver-painted aluminum wheels and the standard 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen. The LT adds refined touches, including 17-inch high-gloss Black machined-aluminum wheels, Keyless Open and Start, a remote vehicle starter system, and silver-painted roof rails. For drivers seeking adventure, the ACTIV trim features ECOTEC 1.3-liter Turbo power, off-road suspension tuning, a functional skid plate, and a two-tone roofline for added rugged style. The top-of-the-line RS trim enhances sportiness with 19-inch high-gloss Black machined-aluminum wheels, RS badging, a heated flat-bottom steering wheel, bold Red interior accents, and the striking new Apex Red exterior color exclusive to the 2026 model year.

Powering the Trailblazer is a standard 1.2-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine producing 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The ACTIV and RS trims feature the ECOTEC 1.3-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, delivering 155 horsepower and up to 174 pound-feet of torque. Both the ACTIV and RS include a dual-outlet exhaust with trapezoidal polished tips for enhanced performance and sound.

Available all-wheel drive provides confidence in a variety of road and weather conditions, while the standard Drive Mode Selector allows drivers to tailor vehicle dynamics to their needs. The ACTIV trim further enhances off-road capability with specialized suspension tuning and a functional skid plate, making the Trailblazer equally ready for city streets and weekend adventures. When properly equipped, the Trailblazer can tow up to 1,000 pounds, adding a practical utility component to its agile design.

Inside, the Trailblazer maximizes comfort and versatility within its compact footprint. The cabin seats up to five adults, while a standard fold-flat front passenger seat extends cargo length to 8.5 feet for surprising storage capacity. An available dual-pane panoramic power sunroof brings natural light into the cabin, and an available hands-free power liftgate adds convenience. The ACTIV trim features Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces with ACTIV-stitched headrests, while the RS trim introduces Torch Red and Santorini Blue interior stitching for a sportier aesthetic.

Additional standard protections include an HD Rear Vision Camera and 10 airbags. Optional upgrades, such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Park Assist, and OnStar Safety & Security, further enhance safety.
