2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT

The 2023 Trailblazer is Chevrolet's subcompact crossover, slotting below the Equinox and aimed at first-time buyers and city dwellers. It squares off against the Honda HR-V, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Kona in the crowded subcompact SUV segment. The Trailblazer feels nimble around town, with light steering and a suspension that soaks up broken pavement without fuss. Inside, the cabin is roomy for its size, with generous headroom and a cargo area that swallows a weekend's gear. Every Trailblazer comes with a touchscreen running wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus the Chevy Safety Assist suite of driver aids. The LT sits in the middle of the Trailblazer range, above the LS with its standard 1.2L engine and below the ACTIV and RS with their tougher styling and higher base prices. The LT's Watts-link rear suspension on AWD models keeps the rear end settled on uneven roads, a refinement you don't get in the front-drive LS.
