This is the most positive comment section I've seen on a video for one of these. I just bought one of these myself in the Activ trim. I love it. Performance is more than acceptable, I'm routinely getting over rated MPG, last fuel fill was an average of 36 mpg. Tech is amazing. I'm just hoping reliability ends up being okay.
I'm fine with 1.3T, but I want to see them make at least the same power as Jeep does with their 1.3T, which is 177 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. It still wouldn't be fast, but it would have no problem getting out of its way for simple highway merging and what not.
So, I bought the loaded version of this about two weeks ago (Oasis Blue, Sun and Lift, Driver Confidence, and Convenience Package RS). It does have a sunroof, panoramic glass ceiling (with shade), a power tailgate and the handsfree (kick) liftgate. I was always a Ford guy, but this Trailblazer is pretty amazing, and he's right, get ready for compliments EVERYONE loves this color. The motor isn't amazing, but with it being so much smaller you can scoot in it, and throwing on sport mode DOES give it some more power. Trust me the wireless charging and wireless carplay/auto is something you'll use twice and wonder why every other car doesn't have it.
I have to disagree with you on the color (personally Grin) but I just bought the Buick version Encore GX and I like it a lot. I was surprized the 1.3 liter three cylinder has enough juice, 80 on the freeway is no problem. I bought all wheel drive so the 9 speed works well, not much gear searching. Works great so far.
I subscribed 2 weeks ago but I want to say I love this channel so much and love joes personality I love how he uses candy and sandwiches to tell us how much space the bens and stuff have it’s speaking my language nice job joe!!!!!!!! Can believe this was a half a year ago
I know the Trailblazer is not exactly what we wanted, but it’s still a great looking crossover, it has a sleek look, fingers crossed for a Wrangler sized Hummer EV. Great review Joe!
I both the same color and model and after 8,000 miles gets up and goes so much faster great fuel Economy and just overall an amazing car definitely worth it
Thank you for this review, because of it I finally made my decision on what I wanted. I've watched all the ones you have done for this vehicle and I just purchased my new 2022 Trailblazer in this Oasis Blue color. I pick it up Thursday! I loved when you said Charmin approved! lol
I have a fully loaded 2023 RS and I have to say I love it! and it drives great! Of course its not the fastest thing but its peppy and ready to go. Also i have to travel 22 miles twice a day for work so it is definitely convenient. Very happy I went fully loaded for the price i paid that panoramic sunroof/ moonroof makes the car that much better!!
I just got mine for 22k. I really like it. It's my first new new car. I'm a 6'2", 250, 25 year old and i enjoy it greatly. Plenty of space and it drives extremely smooth. I love it.
It's a Daewoo! Woo-Hoo! 😁 Joe, it has that antenna because it's a big RC car. Miss a payment and the dealer gets the remote control and back it comes, Twinkies and all!
I kind of get a kick of how many folks complain about the engine size. What you're not realizing that that engine power is really a function of how much air and fuel get mixed to make power. The thing is that it's crazy how the turbo has been tuned on this thing. (I have an Active model). But the max torque is available at something crazy like 1,100 rpms. Ok, so I'm not about to race a BMW M3 with 350 hp (or what ever), but the torque is so good and available at such low engine speeds that I had 5 people in the car on a hot day over the summer with the Air conditioning on and the car really didn't feel any differently driving around. I've had older cars (grew up with a Saab 99 back in the 1990's) and they all felt very weak with extra weight in the car. I felt that under normal driving it's just fine. With that amount of torque a run up of 30 to 70 is just fine when getting on a highway!
I'm no "car guy" but I honestly don't understand the amount of hate this car gets. I'm looking for a small SUV sized car and this is one I'm considering. I mean for the average driver I don't see the need for such a huge and fast engine. From what I've seen of the Trailblazer so far it does everything you need it to as far as performance goes, it's very affordable, looks very comfortable to drive, and to put the cherry on top the design is awesome, in my opinion.
I really enjoyed your Ford Bronco Sport review and have been waiting for this comparison. Amazingly enough, here it is; almost like you have a supernatural insight into your audience’s wishlist ! 👏🏻 Anyway, watching your thorough and honest review of this Trailblazer RS made me realize that I still prefer the Ford Bronco Sport. Thanks, for another incredibly helpful review/comparison.
This is a sharp looking vehicle for the mass market. I think Chev did a good job for the price ...and many people are more concerned with gas mileage than zoom zoom......perfect vehicle for many. ....USA......thanks for reviewing all types of cars not just fully loaded, expensive race vehicles.
I just bought a trailblazer Lt, i like so far. I have a kid on the way, so i traded in my camaro and got this instead. But for a family car with some extra space, awd, and the same infotainment system as my camaro had, it was a good buy for me
Finally got a 23 Trailblazer RS and love it. Wish I could get that color but, the dealership told me they could get over MSRP for it. I did get it in black and I find the engine to be more ready to go than what Joe mentioned. Not sure if it was a change for the 23's. As for the blue one it was gone the next day.
We own two 2nd Gen Cruzes with the 1.4 turbo (153HP) and I can attest that these small Ecotec turbos are very smooth and efficient engines. I don't get why they dropped that engine to go with a 3 cylinder. Why didn't they just stay with the 4 banger and squeeze a bit more HP out of it? Whatever slight MPG is gained is offset by negative perceptions a 3 cylinder brings. That gauge cluster is really nice and the red stitching is sharp. As you mention, GM is one of the best at integrating the screen into the dash layout.
The three cylinder is actually better balanced than the 4 banger, power every 120 degrees instead of every 180 degrees. With the turbo they can get the low end torque up much better and with better mileage than a 2.0 four cylinder non turbo. The 1.3 gets it's max torque at 1600 rpm, great low end power.
I like the pool-liner blue. It’s manly enough for Porsche. Some rugged style is nice here, if you’re not too picky about performance, refinement and materials.
Agreed but I keep my vehicles for the long run so I'd prefer a 2.0 (non-turbo) 4-cylinder with mild hybrid assist which yields similar output to turbo set-ups but much more reliable in the long run.
Nice review. Not sure I’d go for that color but maybe in Florida I would. I think the Trailblazer is nicer looking than the Blazer (not saying much) and can be a decent value choice under thirty, but at higher prices the more powerful Bronco sport and near luxury CX30 offer more. Seltos is a coin flip/personal preference. Crosstrek, HR-V, should also be considered.
We get the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka X in European markets instead of the Chevrolet Trailblazer RS. But the most powerful engine is the 130hp version, 8-speed automatic and it’s front wheel drive only. However, Opel/Vauxhall are no longer working with GM.
I have been vehicle shopping, basically watching your videos and always look forward to your interior take on how many and what kinds of snacks can be stored (haha!).
Like the hood crease, the Trailblazer starts sharp, then fades away to nothing. The baby Bronco looks like a Bronco. This looks like.... oh, fell asleep trying to figure that out.. The colour, though! That works, for sure. Mel Brooks, History of the World, Pt. 1, would fit that seat pocket. Make it a DVD, because you'd never get your VHS in there without breaking it. Thank you for all the hours you put in on all the videos, Lori!
I got one of these as well, that storage below the cup holders is great for a larger water bottle. I have a large water bottle that doesn't quite fit in the cup holders. It's a nice touch.
@@rickkern5785 Yep. But the Trax has now been replaced in the China market by the Chevrolet Tracker in 2020. It provided the best opportunity to continue using it on this vehicle.
Even though I don’t really have time to watch the Q&A’s I watch your videos I really like it and it’s really funny you make it very interesting it’s not just a car video you really add the show to the video by the way who answers the comments thanks
First off, I love Chevrolet- we have a 2007 Silverado. I'm leaving this here so that Chevrolet can address this and fix it. My friend got this last year and we drove it to Vegas. On the way there it was great, but on the way back something happened where the information center said speed was capped at 60 miles per hour. Coming from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, not very ideal. We tried Onstar, but the nearest dealer was back in Vegas. We proceeded to go with only reaching 60 miles per hour before it would stall. We managed to get home. My friend took it in to the dealer and they told her one of the chips had caused the issue, since it was under warranty (under 1 year old) they were able to replace it for free. I hope that chip issue gets resolved sooner than later.
Cool looking suv . I do like seeing the small suvees. Not sure if that's a word. Maybe I'll have a twinkie and think about it. Thanks you 2 for another great review. 👍
I have a Trax at the moment but looking to get this vehicle instead. Not looking for speed. Just looking for a nice car with good features inside, good looking on the outside, and most importantly good gas mileage. It seems to fit the bill for me. Seems all the compact suvs are around the same price anyways.

I mean chevy, toyota, and gmc are all known for high reliability. You'll get Years off of this I'm sure
@@diamondknight4815chevy was known for reliability 20 years ago😂
I never thought i whould ever hear 1.3l ,3 cylinder engine and 30K $ in one sentence.🙂
Tell me about it
I'm fine with 1.3T, but I want to see them make at least the same power as Jeep does with their 1.3T, which is 177 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. It still wouldn't be fast, but it would have no problem getting out of its way for simple highway merging and what not.
@@BoopSnoot yeah you’re right about the power, I’m fine to , but never buy a 3 cyl vechicle ,only lease , reliability is a big ? Mark
I was expecting in the range of 22k. This is hilariously overpriced.
IMO Chevy had a great opportunity and blew it with this 30G disaster. It looks like an fat Mini Cooper. 0 to 60 in 3.5 days. 🤦♂️
Man i can’t stop laughing, when joe says you can get beat by somebody in a skateboard. You are the best !!
Joe: ‘’get the magnifying glass ready’’ 😂, this must be the first 3 cylinder with a duel exhaust I’ve ever seen...
I know right!
Needs one more exhaust!
Let's not talk about the wrx having 4 exhaust tips from a 4 banger

This man can sell anything with this in-depth analysis.
So, I bought the loaded version of this about two weeks ago (Oasis Blue, Sun and Lift, Driver Confidence, and Convenience Package RS). It does have a sunroof, panoramic glass ceiling (with shade), a power tailgate and the handsfree (kick) liftgate. I was always a Ford guy, but this Trailblazer is pretty amazing, and he's right, get ready for compliments EVERYONE loves this color.
The motor isn't amazing, but with it being so much smaller you can scoot in it, and throwing on sport mode DOES give it some more power. Trust me the wireless charging and wireless carplay/auto is something you'll use twice and wonder why every other car doesn't have it.
I have to disagree with you on the color (personally Grin) but I just bought the Buick version Encore GX and I like it a lot. I was surprized the 1.3 liter three cylinder has enough juice, 80 on the freeway is no problem. I bought all wheel drive so the 9 speed works well, not much gear searching. Works great so far.

When the mid roll ad is a bronco sport lol, keep it up Raiti!
Perfect!
My daughter bough one last week. Its a very nice riding SUV. Hers is black and looks very sharp.
That is so very awesome! Congrats to her!
I think I’d personally choose the bronco sport but I like the trailblazer as well, cool color too! Thanks for all the great vids!
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
I know the Trailblazer is not exactly what we wanted, but it’s still a great looking crossover, it has a sleek look, fingers crossed for a Wrangler sized Hummer EV. Great review Joe!
I am glad that I could bring it to you!
@Raiti's Rides Thanks Joe, I’m glad you reviewed this vehicle, keep up the great work and God Bless 👍
It does look good but yeah. That name... it a idk not going trailblazing
@Baron Von Jo Agreed, I’m hoping for a Wrangler sized Hummer EV.
The design team did a nice job with this Trailblazer, I love all the details you pointed out! Awesome video too!
30K for that? Wow. That’s insane. Lots of options at that price point
Yeah I would buy Ford Escape instead, it's a better bet, not to mention competitors from Japan/Korea.

Congrats on 500k subs, u deserve way more! Keep it up 👌
The color is so nice you always test cars with Unique colors I love that!!!! No Vents in the back is definitely a zonk my cx30 has it
Every rental car company needs that special vehicle they can charge a little more for. Now they have another one.

Crazy paint on this thing! It wouldn't be my daily but damn cool Chevy is putting colors like this on more mainstream models
I bought a base model for $20k and Im extremely satisfied with it. 40mpg beating out my 07 5pd manual Toyota Yaris. Hell yeah.
U deserve 1 mil subs raiti!! One of my favourite car reviewer :D
Damn this thing is sweet. And the (OEM?) black emblems are great. American car designs have really improved.
Yep OEM!
would you drive a 3 cyl?
it looks like a toyota CHR
@@koolkitties8552 yeah looks like a better looking CHR kinda. Less funky lol.
People spending 40k plus on the bronco sport have officially lost their minds
That dang color is EVERYTHINGGGGGG
Your vids have made researching car a blast man, love the random items you put in the storage areas lol.
LOVE that color combo
Everything is so cool on this car
I am glad that you like it!
The front end is very attractive and it has fog light. Good job
That color is awesome. It's like a tropical blue for sure. I'd give this one a test drive as long as its one with the 9 speed.

Really like that Oasis colour.
Joe you can't stop I love it I love the color and I will go with this one I am a GM man
The fact that I’ve been so indecisive between the two vehicles in this comparison only these two that’s such a coincidence
I love seeing all the comments on the color. Both love and hate comments. I freakin LOVE it. I wish they had this on the CRV.
I like that colour combo!
I like the pool-liner blue. It’s manly enough for Porsche. Some rugged style is nice here, if you’re not too picky about performance, refinement and materials.
If it had the 2.0 4cly turbo I would of definitely gotten one
Agreed but I keep my vehicles for the long run so I'd prefer a 2.0 (non-turbo) 4-cylinder with mild hybrid assist which yields similar output to turbo set-ups but much more reliable in the long run.

Thanks Chris for letting me share the laughs with you!
That color is stunning. I wanna wrap mine in it
What’s a 3 cylinder? How is it a 9 speed? Someone explain? Joe?
Like the hood crease, the Trailblazer starts sharp, then fades away to nothing. The baby Bronco looks like a Bronco. This looks like.... oh, fell asleep trying to figure that out.. The colour, though! That works, for sure. Mel Brooks, History of the World, Pt. 1, would fit that seat pocket. Make it a DVD, because you'd never get your VHS in there without breaking it.

Not gonna lie, this is a good entry from Chevrolet but they should've just called this the Trax instead of the Trailblazer.
Trax is made in China on a completely different platform. This one is made in Korea. Same motor and Tranny options though.
@@rickkern5785 Yep. But the Trax has now been replaced in the China market by the Chevrolet Tracker in 2020. It provided the best opportunity to continue using it on this vehicle.

Great video as always! I think I would spend a couple grand more and get a decently loaded up Bronco Sport.

Looks like a decent choice if you plan to stay in the city, Bronco Sport if you plan to do any exciting drives outside the city.
That is a very good way to look at it!
