Below is our in-depth review of the different Chevy Trailblazer trim options – the LS, LT, RS, and ACTIV. We’ll discuss each one’s unique attributes, from the engine power to the comfort and convenience options and the advanced safety technologies.

Chevy Trailblazer LS

The Chevy Trailblazer LS is an excellent starting point for those who need basic features and clever design without breaking the bank. The LS trim is practical by nature and is perfect for city use and daily driving.

Under the hood, the Trailblazer LS is equipped with a turbocharged ECOTEC engine with a CVT for efficient and smooth power delivery. You will enjoy great performance with impressive MPG ratings, which will help you save fuel at the pump.

Standard safety options include Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of driver assistance technologies that assist with braking, maintaining your lane, and following a safe distance from the car in front of you. It’s engineered to give you confidence whether you’re commuting down a congested road or performing errands in your area.

Inside the cabin, the LS trim offers long-lasting upholstery, a color touchscreen with Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay, and a driver information center to help you stay connected and in the loop. It also boasts a convenient steering-wheel-mounted control and power-operated rear windows. With its sleek appearance and intelligent design, the Chevrolet Trailblazer LS is a great option for those who desire a reliable Chevy SUV at a reasonable price.

Chevy Trailblazer LT

The Chevy Trailblazer LT is everything the LS does well and more, with additional comfort, style, and technology. It’s a solid bet for those who desire a little more from their daily vehicle without breaking out of the more affordable tier.

The LT trim also opens up more engine choices, such as a 1.3L turbo engine for increased responsiveness. You can opt for the front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive (AWD), which improves your traction when the weather or road conditions are rougher.

Inside, the LT includes valuable upgrades such as remote start, keyless entry, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat for more convenient comfort control. The color touchscreen also gains an upgrade, still with Android Auto and Wireless Apple CarPlay, and the optional six-speaker audio system heightens your entertainment experience.

The exterior is distinctive with aluminum wheels, roof rails, and two-tone paint as an optional extra for enhanced styling. The additions enhance the LT’s styling without compromising its practicality and handling.

For extra peace of mind, the LT still includes Chevy Safety Assist and numerous driver assist functions. If your desire is a Trailblazer that is practical, comfortable, and comes at an affordable price, the Chevy Trailblazer LT is an excellent middle ground.

Chevy Trailblazer RS

The Chevy Trailblazer RS is all about aggressive styling and sporty capability. With distinctive styling features and enhanced amenities, the RS trim is designed for the driver who needs their SUV to make a statement without sacrificing practicality for daily use.

Under the hood, the RS is equipped with the more powerful 1.3L turbo engine and can be had with a nine-speed automatic transmission as well as AWD, with the former providing you with a more powerful and engaging drive.

The RS also comes with sporty RS badging, a high-gloss black mesh grille, twin-outlet exhaust, black bowtie emblems, and sporty aluminum wheels. All of the exterior design features make the RS look sleeker and more aggressive, and are suitable for customers who want something sportier to represent their Trailblazer.

It also comes with enhanced finishes and optional Evotex upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats in the front. The power-adjustable driver’s seat is complemented by red accents and RS-differentiated touches in the cabin. The touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Wireless Apple CarPlay is also shared with the other trims.

RS trim also comes with Chevy Safety Assist and advanced driver-assistance technologies as standard, keeping you safe both in the city and out. If you want a Chevy Trailblazer with sport-inspired elements, the Trailblazer RS brings style and power in one sleek bundle.

Chevy Trailblazer ACTIV

The Chevy Trailblazer ACTIV is for those who like to venture off the road. This trim level brings together day-to-day comfort with the capabilities to navigate more demanding terrain, making it the ideal choice in the Chevy Trailblazer family for light off-road capability.

The ACTIV trim is equipped with the 1.3L turbo engine and optional all-wheel drive (AWD) with off-road suspension calibrations, a skid plate in the front, and sport terrain tires. The upgrades provide the ACTIV with improved handling over uneven terrain and underbody protection over rocky roads.

Its exterior boasts a bolder style with Titanium chrome front and rear fascias, a distinctive mesh grille, and roof rails for accommodating bikes, kayaks, or additional gear. The styling is functional and bold, ideal for the owner who’s not afraid to venture out.

Inside the ACTIV, comfort is at the forefront with Evotex upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats up front. The power driver’s seat is a cinch to move, and you still have the tech you want, such as a touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto, Wireless Apple CarPlay, and tools for the driver information center. Safety is always a priority with our Chevy Safety Assist and additional driver-assist technologies to keep you alert on the road or the trail.

For those who desire a balance between daily use and off-highway capability, the Chevy Trailblazer ACTIV is the best combination of comfort, functionality, and rugged looks.
