2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The LS is the starting point, but it does not feel stripped. It comes with 17-inch wheels, upright proportions, and a clean lighting design. Inside, the dual-screen layout and fold-flat front passenger seat immediately stand out. That seat alone changes how you use the vehicle. Safety basics are covered with HD Rear Vision Camera, Teen Driver technology, and a full airbag system. The LT adds convenience where it matters. Remote start, keyless open and start, and roof rails make daily use easier. Exterior details sharpen slightly, and available features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Change Alert add more awareness without turning the vehicle into a science project. ACTIV leans toward utility. A unique grille, skid plate, and off-road-tuned suspension adjust both look and function. Materials inside are more durable, aimed at handling dirt, gear, and whatever else shows up during trips on rural roads around Belmont County. RS goes in a different direction. 19-inch high-gloss black wheels, RS badging, and darker trim give it a more aggressive stance. Inside, the flat-bottom steering wheel, red accents, and contrast stitching tighten the feel. The structure remains the same, but the personality shifts.

Two engines, both turbocharged, both focused on efficiency first. The 1.2L produces 137 hp and 162 lbs. ft. of torque, tuned for steady, predictable output. It is ideal for daily driving around St. Clairsville or short trips along U.S. Route 40. The 1.3L increases output to 155 hp and 174 lbs. ft. of torque, providing stronger midrange performance, especially when merging or carrying more weight. FWD is standard, and AWD is available with selectable drive modes that adjust traction depending on conditions. The 1.2L is consistent and easy to manage. The 1.3L adds more usable pull, which makes the vehicle feel less strained when loaded. Fuel economy reaches up to 31 MPG combined with FWD. Towing is rated at 1,000 lbs, sufficient for light-duty tasks. AWD and drive modes provide extra traction when needed while keeping the setup efficient and easy to control.

Seating for five is arranged to maximize usable space, not just meet a number. Rear seating works for daily use without feeling like an afterthought. Cargo flexibility is the highlight. The fold-flat front passenger seat allows up to 8.5 ft of cargo length. Rear seats fold to expand storage further, creating a flat, usable load area. Materials vary by trim: RS adds sport details, ACTIV leans durable, and higher trims introduce more refined finishes. The available hands-free liftgate is useful when your hands are full during errands or road trips.

The layout is simple and effective. An 11-inch touchscreen paired with an 8-inch Driver Information Center gives a clear, usable interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® are standard. Available upgrades include wireless charging and a Bose® audio system. Everything connects quickly and stays connected, making it easy to navigate St. Clairsville streets or nearby highways.

Standard safety includes a 10-airbag system, HD Rear Vision Camera, Rear Seat Reminder, and Teen Driver technology. Available systems add more coverage, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Park Assist, all of which enhance awareness in traffic and tight spaces throughout St. Clairsville and along U.S. Route 40 and I-70.
