Exterior Styling

One highlight of the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer is its exterior styling.

Cleverly Crafted Interior

The Trailblazer’s cabin is practical, stylish, comfortable, cleverly crafted and filled with technology. That includes a 7-inch full-color touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, SiriusXM and 4-speaker audio system. There’s a tilting/telescoping steering wheel, steering wheel mounted controls, electronic climate control and comfortable seating for 5 adults. The base model has cloth-covered seats, manually adjustable driver’s seat and 60/40 split rear seats.

Cargo Capacity

The midsized 2022 Chevy Trailblazer has good cargo capacity. With all seats in place, it has 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Lay the backseats flat and cargo space grows to 54.4 cubic feet. That is more than most SUVs in its class. Plus, it has options like a cargo shade, vertical cargo net and an all-weather cargo mat. The roof rails let you carry additional cargo on the roof.

The Power Source

The 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer has a 137-horsepower, 1.2 liter, turbocharged three-cylinder engine that produces 162 pound-feet of torque.
