2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT

The 2024 Trailblazer is Chevrolet's smallest SUV, slotting below the Equinox and offering a more affordable entry into the brand's crossover lineup. It competes with the Honda HR-V, Kia Seltos, and Ford Bronco Sport, though it leans more toward on-road comfort than off-road capability. The Trailblazer feels nimble in the city, with light steering and a compact footprint that makes parking easy, though the base engine can feel strained on the highway. The ride is composed over broken pavement, and the cabin stays reasonably quiet at highway speeds for a subcompact crossover. The LT gives up the RS and ACTIV trims' sportier looks and extra equipment, but it keeps the essentials and saves you a few thousand dollars. Its KOREA makes 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive that returns 31 mpg combined. The LT comes with a 7-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay, though the 4-speaker audio system is basic compared to the RS's upgraded setup.
