The 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer delivers nimble performance with your choice of two turbocharged engines. The standard 1.2L Turbo pairs with a Continuously Variable Automatic transmission, while the available EcoTec 1.3L Turbo (producing 155 horsepower) partners with a smooth 9-speed automatic for a more engaging drive.

Fuel economy is impressive: the Trailblazer achieves 29 MPG city and 33 MPG highway-better than many competitors. Three selectable drive modes let you tailor handling to road conditions, and available All-Wheel Drive adds confidence in varied weather.

The Trailblazer also features a functional skid plate, unique shocks and dampers, and agile handling that makes city driving and highway cruising equally enjoyable. Its lighter design and responsive transmission give it an edge in both efficiency and everyday practicality.
