History
The Birth of the Trailblazer
Over the years, the Trailblazer has shifted from the Blazer-like SUV that debuted in 2001 to the sleek and aerodynamic sporty SUV available on our lot at Future Chevrolet of Sacramento today. To understand its path, we need to start at the beginning. As mentioned, when the first Trailblazer was introduced, it had a Blazer look to it, but it was bigger and faster. The first Trailblazer was built on the same platform as the GMC Envoy and the Oldsmobile Bravada. Drivers took to it instantly, enjoying its roomy interior, powerful engine options, and ability to go off-road. This first generation lasted until 2009 when Chevrolet shocked the industry with its decision to stop making the Trailblazer in the US.
A Triumphant Return to the US Market
However, the Trailblazer continued to gain popularity outside of the United States, using a platform that the Chevrolet Colorado shared. It wasn't until late in 2019 that Chevrolet announced the Trailblazer would be available in the United States again, starting with the 2020 model. The new Trailblazer was marketed as a small crossover SUV, which was different from the first midsize SUV and offered a modern look, a smaller footprint, and better fuel efficiency than before. This new version spoke to drivers looking for a flexible SUV that could take them from work to play seamlessly.
Today, the 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer offers a fresh new look with a redesigned front fascia, revised headlights, the choice of two new colors, and a larger infotainment touchscreen that is standard across trims. Our team can show you around the new Trailblazer and help you determine which trim level matches your needs the best.
Technology
Connectivity
In today's fast-paced world, technology and connectivity in your chosen vehicle are a must. The 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer delivers both, helping you and your passengers stay connected during the drive. For instance, the new standard 11-inch Diagonal Touch Screen gives you access to your favorite apps via a connection to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This touchscreen is easy to access for drivers and front-seat passengers, with an intuitive design that is easy to use and read. You will also get up-to-date information from the standard 8-inch color Driver Information Center, as well as a three-year subscription to OnStar. In addition, three of the four trims give you the availability of a 120-volt power outlet for on-the-go power when you need it most.
Active Noise Cancellation
Technology can also be seen, although not heard, with the Trailblazer's Active Noise Cancellation system. This system blocks and absorbs sounds and vibrations from the outside, providing you with a quieter and more engaging interior experience. There is also an in-cabin microphone that cuts through unwanted noise for a satisfactory ride.
Other Convenient Tech Features
Technology meets comfort and convenience with multiple charging ports for you and your passengers, a rearview auto-dimming mirror, available wireless charging, and the ability to easily load and unload cargo with the hands-free power programmable liftgate with LED projection that is offered with the ACTIV and RS trims. Even better? You'll enjoy the availability of heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a remote start, depending on the trim you choose.
Our team can help you narrow down which technology features you're most interested in so that you can make an informed selection. All four of the 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer trims offer something for everyone, making it a good choice all around. We can also walk you through the various package options, of which there are several, to customize your Trailblazer even more.
Safety
Beyond technology, safety is also highly sought after when shopping for a new vehicle, especially when you transport loved ones on a daily basis. The good news is that Chevy offers a collection of driver assistance and safety features that are among some of the latest innovations in the industry. Chevy's collection of standard safety features is called Chevy Safety Assist. Some of these standard features include:
Automatic Emergency Braking
This system utilizes data gained from camera views to sense an impending collision and either applies hard braking or assists you in braking. It works best at speeds between 5 and 50 mph.
Forward Collision Alert
Using the same cameras as the feature above, this system is able to detect objects that enter your lane and alert you to a potential collision. It will also give you a tailgating warning if you're following too closely.
HD Rear Vision Camera
The Trailblazer HD Rear Vision Camera gives you the confidence you need to reverse into and out of parking spaces with ease. It also works with the available Rear Cross Traffic Alert to let you know when objects enter your space while in reverse.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
It happens to the best of us. You're cruising along, listening to your favorite podcast, and suddenly, you've moved too far from the center of your lane. With this system activated, you will see an alert on your dash and feel a gentle nudge on your steering wheel to assist you in returning to where you need to be.
Cargo Space
A Spacious Cabin
Safety and technology are often the first things drivers look for in a new vehicle. However, as we begin to use our cars more and more, cargo space is also key in the decision. The 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer gives you up to 8.5 ft. of max cargo length thanks to the Standard Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat. With all the seats upright, you still get a generous 25.3 cu.ft. of cargo space, which easily hauls soccer and hiking equipment, as well as the luggage you need for a spontaneous trip. Putting them down offers you a total of 54.4 cu.ft. of cargo space. In addition, the Trailblazer has an available Hands-Free Liftgate that makes loading and unloading easier.
Interior Organization Enhancements
Another factor to consider is the organization of your cargo space. You can talk to our team about adding features like a Cargo Net, Cargo Organizer, or cargo protection in the form of an Integrated Cargo Liner or a Premium All-Weather Cargo Mat. There is also an available Cargo Security Shade to keep your things hidden from people walking by.
Towing Capabilities
If you and your passengers are headed out for adventure, you will also be glad to know that the Trailblazer has accessories for exterior cargo, allowing you to transport items like bicycles, kayaks, extra luggage, and more. Additionally, the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer can tow up to 1,000 lbs, which is enough for a lightweight camper.
Floor Mat Options
While not cargo-related, you'll also find a variety of floor mat options when shopping for genuine Chevrolet accessories. These options help keep your Trailblazer looking new and ready to go. Stop in and talk with our team about the cargo space the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer offers and what accessories you can use to make it more personalized for your needs.
