2021 Chevy Trailblazer Dominates Crossover Market With Smooth and Comfortable Ride

With school back in session soon and the seemingly endless pile of errands stacking up, the appeal of one of the nation’s best-selling crossover SUVs has never been stronger. The 2021 Trailblazer is between the smaller Trax and larger Equinox in the Chevy lineup, and the trusty testing crew from The Oakland Express took a close-up look to see just how it stands up in today’s very highly-populated vehicle offering marketplace.

The testing model arrived dipped in the scarlet red metallic paint scheme, with a few sharp sidelines that heightened its profile. A few of the winning touches on the exterior were 18-inch gloss black machined aluminum wheels, LED taillamps, heated power-adjustable mirrors, dual-exhaust outlets, and RS lettering and black ornamentation. The interior was jet black with red accents, and the easy-to-use center screen and steering wheel controls are fit for the urban commuter who is seeking hard-backed Chevy SUV quality.

You’ll love finding many ways to maximize the 25.3 cubic feet of max cargo volume, and 54.5 cubic feet with rear seats folded. With nimble handling and a strong infotainment system with extra-quick response to both touch and voice commands, the Trailblazer is a breeze to drive. 4G LTE WiFi service is also available, and all trim levels will benefit from keyless entry and keyless start.

Everyday people love feeling as if they are protected on the road. The addition of the Driver Confidence Package adds Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert to ensure you’re always safe.

Every Trailblazer buyer will have plenty to smile about in regards to warranty coverage at West Chevy. Our standard 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, roadside assistance, and courtesy transportation coverage will let you drive your new car off the lot with confidence. With roomy seating and cargo space, upscale and spacious interior, and the ability to squeeze into tight spots wherever you go, the Trailblazer will attract many with its low entry pricing point and practicality!

A Small SUV With Big Features: 2021 Chevy Trailblazer Is “Best SUV To Enjoy The Re-Opening of The World”

As the world is returning to a sense of normalcy and excitedly embracing tastes of social freedom again, everyone here at West Chevy of Knoxville has made sure that our most summer-friendly SUV is ready to offer grade-A performance. Chevy has taken a close look at our prized Trailblazer to assure it has the same dominating demeanor it had when it first left the gate! 

The Trailblazer's 1.3-liter turbo engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, and that combination is “well worth it and always able to fully deliver off the line,” according to the Portland Tribune. Inside, there is ample room for taller passengers, and the vinyl boosters in the front seat provide great comfort and a sense of upper-end luxury. Front seats are heated, and the standard equipment on all Trailblazers offers everything you need to stay safe in style. 

You and your crew will be riding safely with automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian braking, following distance indicator, automatic high beams, rear-view camera, keyless entry, and lane-keeping assistance.

One experienced test driver let us know that the firm drive, well-engineered suspension, and ideally-matched engine power made them not want to forfeit their test drive when the time came. The driver's seat includes lumbar support, and after a lengthy test-drive, the writers described the suspension as perfectly firm yet not harsh, and Car and Driver billed the unique styling as “very desirable and sporty.”

They recommended the LT trim level as the best overall value, equipped with the larger 1.3-liter engine generating 155 horsepower. A thorough testing session of an all-wheel-drive model provided a fuel economy estimate of 29 mpg combined, and the 2021 Trailblazer provides a folding-front passenger seat to add space for extra-long cargo. A 4-speaker stereo is standard on the base L, but upgrades to higher trims allow for a feature we'd highly recommend: the premium Bose system with seven speakers.
