Performance and Efficiency

Both the 2025 and 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer deliver a dynamic yet efficient driving experience with two peppy turbocharged three-cylinder engine options under the hood.  The standard engine is a 1.2-liter turbocharged inline-three, producing 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. It comes paired with a continuously variable transmission and is available exclusively with front-wheel drive. This setup offers solid urban efficiency, earning EPA ratings of 29 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.  One notable difference between model years lies in the 2025 Trailblazer's ability to utilize E85 ethanol fuel in this base engine offering.  If you're looking for a little more punch, the 1.3-liter turbocharged engine is the upgrade to consider. It puts out 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. In FWD models, it also uses a CVT, but opt for all-wheel drive and it gets a more traditional nine-speed automatic transmission for a smoother, more capable ride. The 1.3-liter achieves 29 mpg city and 33 mpg highway in FWD form, while the AWD version drops slightly to 26 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.  When compared to other subcompact SUVs, the efficiency of either the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer or the 2025 Chevy Trailblazer is right in line with the competition, making them a smart, well-balanced choice for daily driving or weekend road trips.

Trim Comparison

You won't find any differences between model years in the trim level department: both the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer and the 2025 Chevy Trailblazer are offered in four rugged trims including the LS, the LT, the Activ, and the top-of-the-line RS.  Their feature sets also mirror each other, so we'll go over the highlights of them here.Starting off with the base LS trim, this well-equipped base model comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, a unique chrome grille bar surrounding modern LED lights, convenient push-button start, and a thoughtfully designed flat-folding front passenger seat that is ideal for hauling items up to 8.5 feet long.  On the tech front, passengers will love the 11-inch infotainment system that houses wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite radio, a Wi-Fi- hotspot, and a four-speaker audio system.  Safety comes standard, too, with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, and forward collision warning. Optional features include blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, remote start, and privacy glass.  We love the LT trim, which builds onto the LS with practical upgrades like roof rails, heated side mirrors, keyless entry and remote start.  What makes the LT standout is its expanded options list that includes a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, wireless charging, and additional USB ports.  For those ready for some rugged adventures, the Active trim is designed for drivers who love exploring beyond the pavement.  This trim level features the 1.3L turbocharged engine upgrade, off-road tuned suspension, underbody skid plates, a black mesh grill, dual exhaust with trapezoidal trips, and black roof rails. Inside you will find faux-leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver's seat.  Finally, we reach the bold and sporty RS trim, which features most of the features from the Activ, as well as 19-inch alloy wheels, unique red interior accents, a sport flat-bottomed steering wheel, and an exclusive black-painted roof.
