This new version is a sporty, well-designed and handsome subcompact crossover SUV with modern safety and tech features. Staying the course, Chevy only made minor modifications from last year, adding a few features and ditching the base level L trim entirely. Shoppers looking at the Mazda CX-30 or Hyundai Kona would do well to add the <a href=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/deals?showRecommendedPrice=true&amp;make=Chevrolet&amp;model=Trailblazer&amp;year=2022&amp;oem=GM&amp;trim=LS+-+%2421800.0*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trailblazer<\/a> to the mix.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Interior&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In the smallish subcompact realm, we never expect big dimensions, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/deals?showRecommendedPrice=true&amp;make=Chevrolet&amp;model=Trailblazer&amp;year=2022&amp;oem=GM&amp;trim=LS+-+%2421800.0*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trailblazer<\/a> does a good job of eking out every inch to deliver comfortable cabin proportions. Materials are definitely modest and the <a href=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/deals?showRecommendedPrice=true&amp;make=Chevrolet&amp;model=Trailblazer&amp;year=2022&amp;oem=GM&amp;trim=LS+-+%2421800.0*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trailblazer<\/a> doesn\u2019t aspire beyond economy, but the dash cluster is well-designed, simple, and driver-friendly. The back seat is okay for children or small adults, but most won\u2019t want to suffer the cramped legroom for more than short trips.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-ACTIV-025.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-ACTIV-025.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-ACTIV-025-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-ACTIV-025-768x507.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer ACTIV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Exterior<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While the interior doesn\u2019t overwhelm, the <a href=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/deals?showRecommendedPrice=true&amp;make=Chevrolet&amp;model=Trailblazer&amp;year=2022&amp;oem=GM&amp;trim=LS+-+%2421800.0*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trailblazer<\/a> exterior is a showstopper. Sporty and stylish, this updated version puts its early incarnation to shame and competes well with other vehicles in its class. The grille is reminiscent of the Toyota Rav 4 with squinting headlights and multi-angled corners. Also like the Rav 4, the Trailblazer offers a two tone roof color that compliments the athletic look of the vehicle.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-ACTIV-020.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-ACTIV-020.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-ACTIV-020-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-ACTIV-020-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-Chevrolet-Trailblazer-ACTIV-020-660x440.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer ACTIV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Features<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting that while more expensive and larger SUVs in the Chevy line only offer the latest Safety Assist features as optional, the carmaker chose to outfit the <a href=\"https:\/\/getcardealstoday.com\/deals?showRecommendedPrice=true&amp;make=Chevrolet&amp;model=Trailblazer&amp;year=2022&amp;oem=GM&amp;trim=LS+-+%2421800.0*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trailblazer<\/a> with this tech as standard on all models.
