For 2024, Chevrolet presents the auto industry with an upgraded, refined version of their popular subcompact Trailblazer and they do a great job at it. Coming in four trims—LS, LT, ACTIV and RS—to fit every consumer’s needs. The Trailblazer is ideal for a starting family, a college graduate’s first car, or simply someone looking for great value in a five-passenger vehicle that’s prepared to take on some challenging terrains during adventures with confidence. Whatever the cause, this vehicle does not disappoint. View of sunroof on 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer ACTIV in Nitro Yellow Metallic. Preproduction model shown. Actual production model may vary. Available in fall 2023.Reviewing the ACTIV version, the exterior of the review car was dressed in an attractive “Cacti Green” custom paint, and some head-turning refinements including slanted LED lighting, 17-inch wheels with black gloss complemented with sport terrain tires, roof side rails, a black mesh grille, dual exhaust, and an active skid plate. The interior is also impressive. Entrants are welcomed to a jet black and Artemis color combination with Evotex seat lining to fight off any stains, and the recommended option—a dual-pane panoramic sunroof illuminating the spacious cabin providing ample legroom for everyone. Three of the four seats completely fold, and with the power liftgate included in the Convenience Package ($1,195), loading and capacity collectively earn the Trailblazer higher marks for cargo space in its subcompact segment. Technology doesn’t cut corners either, with user-friendly controls making the upgraded 11-inch touchscreen and eight-inch digital instrument display a lot easier to operate. The ACTIV also comes with a generous list of standard accessories, such as keyless entry, push-button start, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, Bluetooth, wireless Apple/Android connectivity, and the myChevrolet mobile app to handle many of the car’s functions remotely. The optional equipment comes highly recommended as well, including the auto-dimming rearview mirror, a traditional 120-volt power outlet, two rear USB ports (a USB-A and USB-C), all-weather floor liners, plus the adaptive cruise control and BOSE sound system through seven speakers packaged together ($995).View of front cabin in 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer ACTIV with Jet Black with Artemis interior.

The all-wheel drive, variable automatic transmission (CVT), and nine-speed transmission provide perks top the driving experience, plus an extensive roster of safety applications we invite you to explore online (forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, automatic high-beam headlights, Teen Driver, parking sensors, and more) collectively provide extra value. While the Trailblazer may not challenge exotics on the Autobahn, the forgiving gas mileage averaging 27 miles per gallon makes up for it. All in all, the Trailblazer is strong proof that Chevrolet is all about adapting to the current trends regarding technology, accommodating passengers comfortably, and making sure buyers get the most bang for the buck. Fuel Economy: 26 city/29 highway/27 combinedPrice: The 202r Trailblazer ACTIV starts at $28,700 MSRP.
