2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT

The 2021 Trailblazer is Chevrolet's smallest SUV, slotting below the Equinox and offering a choice of five trims from the base L to the rugged ACTIV. It competes with subcompact crossovers like the Honda HR-V, Kia Seltos, and Ford EcoSport, aiming to blend style with everyday usability. The Trailblazer feels nimble in town, with light steering and a compact footprint that makes parking easy, though the base engine asks for patience on highways. Inside, there's generous headroom and a surprisingly roomy cargo area for the class, plus a straightforward dashboard with available touchscreen infotainment. Heated front seats and the 7-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay set the LT apart from the LS trim below it. The 1.2L I3 makes 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, routed through a CVT to the front wheels, which delivers 29 mpg combined. Standard LED fog lamps and silver roof rails give the LT a slightly more dressed look, but the ride stays easy and relaxed around town.
