2020 Trailblazer Details And “Bold Character All Its Own” Revealed Via GM Authority

This past week, many different outlets on the web finally made the official report that GM is planning to bring back the Chevy Trailblazer name for one of the two upcoming replacements for the current first-generation Trax. During the Auto Shanghai show this year, this very model was just announced, and you can see the 2020 Trailblazer in redline trimmings here. Many people are simply calling this a “mini Blazer”, but after a few prominent auto journalists test-drove it, they still claimed that it has a fresh character all its own. 

The body line of the Trailblazer puts to use very thorough surface styling, and offers up a final look that is very lean and smooth. The front end sports a pretty long hood, and a set of very thin LED daytime running lamps sporting Chevy's prominent accent lighting strip are separated by the very detailed surface styling of the front bumper cover from the forward lights. The very distinct dual-port grille is present, one of the traits that make our vehicles of the last few years stand out in a familiar and modern manner.

The side profile reveals pronounced plastic wheel cladding wrapping with a set of Redline Hash-marked 17-inch black wheels. The Chevy Trailblazer shown here on the GM Authority blog is based on the brand-new GM VSS-F platform, and is slated to completely replace the Trax namesake in North America. The seasoned writers at Cars.com dug deep and asked a very important question late this winter in regards to the Trailblazer's potential arrival: “Does the market really need another crossover-style SUV? Is the Blazer good enough to carve off buyers from its already popular competitors?”

When you think long and hard about this question, one very important point is that the car buyers of today want a very large amount of options presented to them: the rise of technological prowess and online shopping has made them eager to explore every single size option available, and the midsize category the Trailblazer resides in is perfect for many growing businesses and families.

The 2007 Trailblazer had turned many heads with its StabliTrak control system that helped provide a smooth drive no matter what the road condition, and many Jeep owners at the time had been swayed away from the popular outdoorsy off-road brand to the Chevy camp. Here at West Chevy of Knoxville when spring hits, we get excited about the bounty we have in campgrounds available to us here such as Windrock Park. Known for having the best in adrenaline-pumping off-road trails in the South, this is where you find 73,000 acres in Oliver Springs to test your shooting, mountain biking, and hiking abilities in a fun and challenging setting. As soon as the Trailblazer arrives onto our lots permanently, we will be anxious to show you the trim level that's a perfect match, and provide for you a test drive of Chevy's upcoming best!
