Pros: Attractive interior; excellent standard infotainment tech; affordable; good rear legroom Cons: Slow acceleration and base CVT doesn’t help; dull driving dynamics; Chevy Trax is a better value Heading into the second year since its mid-cycle refresh, the 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer carries on virtually unchanged from 2024, except for the addition of Flex Fuel capability in the 1.2-liter powertrain.

The big change for 2025 is that the 1.2-liter turbo powertrain is now E85-compatible . There are also some changes in exterior color offerings, including the addition of Marina Blue Metallic.
How big is the Trailblazer? On the outside, the Trailblazer is one of the larger subcompact SUVs, although that doesn’t always translate to interior space, especially in the cargo area. Sitting in the back seat of the Trailblazer is pleasant from a pure space perspective, with 39.4 inches of rear legroom , but it’s a step back in ambiance, as most of the intriguing trim and style up front is abandoned for the back seat.
The upgrade engine is another turbocharged three-cylinder, this one displacing 1.3 liters and providing 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. That engine is mated to a nine-speed automatic. With front-wheel drive, it gets 29 miles per gallon city, 33 mpg highway and 31 mpg combined. The available all-wheel-drive Trailblazer’s efficiency suffers a tad, rated at 26/29/27 mpg.
These comfort-tuned dampers do a swell job of making the Trailblazer ride better than expected, though. Rough city streets are handled with aplomb, and it does a bang-up job of making sure harsh impacts don’t intrude into the cabin. We sent it down some dirt roads with similar results, noting that it was plenty comfortable and sopped up imperfections better than we’d expect from a car with its size and wheelbase.
The Activ and RS are the higher trims of the Trailblazer. The Activ offers a little more rugged vibe, with a unique suspension tuning, sport terrain tires and a skid plate for some underbody protection. The RS provides a more on-road sporty look with a high-gloss black grille, high-gloss black 19-inch wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel and red interior stitching and accents. Both come with the 1.3-liter engine as standard.
