2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS

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. With 155 horsepower from the 1.3L I3 and front-wheel drive, the RS feels eager around town and returns 31 mpg combined. The RS gets unique gloss-black exterior trim and a sport-tuned suspension, which firms up the ride for sharper handling.
