What is the Chevrolet Trailblazer?
Chevrolet has used the Trailblazer name for two different kinds of SUV. The first-generation North American model was a truck-based SUV, while a later generation brought the name to a smaller crossover in other markets. The name therefore spans distinct vehicles rather than one continuous design.
The first generation ran from 2002 to 2009 in the United States and Canada. The second generation is listed for 2020–2025 in Europe. European Union registrations include a 2023 petrol version with a 1.3 L engine rated at 115 kW (156 PS).
Engines and power
United States listings span 1.2 L to 6.0 L engines and include petrol and flex-fuel E85 versions. Canadian listings cover the same engine-size range and both fuels. These ranges span different generations and markets. The European Union registration figure is for a 2023 version with a 1.3 L petrol engine.
How economical is the Chevrolet Trailblazer?
The lowest listed consumption is 7.6 L/100 km in both the United States EPA figures and Canada’s NRCan five-cycle results. The best combined EPA rating listed in the United States is 31 MPG. Test procedures differ: Europe uses WLTP or, for older vehicles, NEDC, while the United States uses EPA testing and Canada uses its five-cycle procedure. These results are not direct like-for-like comparisons.
The Trailblazer appears in United States and Canadian figures for 2002–2026, and in European Union registrations for 2023.
