The 2025 Trailblazer offers two capable engine choices. The base 1.2L Turbo pairs with a Continuously Variable Automatic transmission for smooth efficiency. The available EcoTec 1.3L Turbo delivers 155 horsepower and pairs with a responsive 9-speed automatic transmission for more spirited driving.

Both engines are efficient: the Trailblazer achieves an impressive 29 city/33 highway MPG. The standard engine now features tougher cylinder head valve seats and E-85 compatibility.

For versatility, select available All-Wheel Drive, three selectable drive modes, and features like a functional skid plate and unique shocks and dampers that make the Trailblazer ready for any road.

The result is nimble handling, responsive acceleration, and excellent fuel economy in one compact package. Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to schedule a test drive and feel the performance difference yourself.
