2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer review

Chevrolet Trailblazer: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review

8.5/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer sits near the top of its class. Standard driver-assist suite; easy to see out of and park. Touch-only climate controls on some trims and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $25,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Happy after a year

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.

★★★★★Sofia F. · Austin, TX · 13 months owned
Would buy again

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
