The 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer delivers an exciting, efficient drive with smart engineering that adapts to how you live.

**Engine & Transmission:** Choose between a 1.2L Turbo with Continuously Variable Automatic transmission or the available EcoTec(R) 1.3L Turbo (155 hp) paired with a responsive 9-speed automatic for smooth, confident shifting.

**Drive Modes & AWD:** Three selectable drive modes let you optimize performance for city streets, highways, or challenging terrain. Available all-wheel drive, combined with a functional skid plate and unique shocks and dampers, makes the Trailblazer ready for virtually any road.

**Real-World Efficiency:** The lighter design and refined transmission deliver up to 30 MPG highway, so you travel further between fill-ups-a genuine advantage over heavier competitors.

Whether you're navigating daily commutes or weekend adventures, the Trailblazer balances power and practicality. Ready to feel the difference? Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or visit to take one for a test drive.
