#2021Trailblazer
The all-new Chevrolet Trailblazer is a small SUV that is bigger then the Chevrolet Trax but smaller than the Equinox. The small SUV category is the fastest growth area for sales and this new sub-compact utility competes with the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Kona, Mazda CX30, Nissan Kicks and Subaru Crosstrek to name a few. This new Chevy Trailblazer is unique due to the 1.3L Turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, 9-speed automatic transmission and solid power and torque. The base engine is also a turbo 1.2L 3-cylinder with 137hp. All models with AWD get the larger engine with 155hp and 174lb.-ft. of torque. The size of this new small SUV is closest to the Kia Seltos and is on the larger side for this class. All models in Canada come with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto along with a wireless charging pad for cell phones. Infotainment screen sizes start at 7-inches and there is an optional 8-inch unit. All Trailblazer vehicles come with standard wifi hotspot and OnStar connectivity. The Trailblazer small utility is the only vehicle in this class to come with an available power lift gate. The all-new Chevrolet Trailblazer is built in Korea and is sold as an L base model, LS with available AWD, the RS model seen here, plus an off-road looking version called Activ.

Just bought the black with red. Best SUV I owned so far! An eye catcher for sure
So did I. I love it
Your reviews are so helpful for someone shopping in this segment. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Am I the only person that thinks this couple have the perfect personalities to be on HGTV
No.. Because that couple is not together anymore.
@@moeanthony9308 okay fine.....DIY channel instead
That sunroof is everything !
LOVE that you are a Canadian auto channel, I have found that its hard to relate US price and features when doing research before buying a new vehicle. The subtle humor and puns (if you meant them as) are fantastic. "every one loves inches", "everyone loves a Hummer" Keep up the great work.
Hey, great review and a great hummer comeback!!
Randomly found this channel and so far they already answered all questions that I had about this car. Amazing, just one thing that is hard to come by and that's 0-60 time and pov acceleration
I got this very vehicle!! I really like it. Same color same package.
Awesome review I drove one yesterday I loved it. I drove the red color one. So pretty. I am bigger then most. I had a lot of room.
This is my first time looking at your channel is was actually great more than a review it was like a great conversation
Good job👍
I'm a subscriber now😃
Thanks for this!
Wow, thank you so much, so glad you subscribed.
That's why I like them too. They have that Opera vibe. I feel like iam sitting in the back of them and I just along for the ride.
Nice little utility!!! Love the look!
Love the exterior, so sporty looking.
2 years later, I still think Chevy has a winner with this offer. I know Zack and Andrea can't live without a power lift gate anymore, but I can't stand them most of the time (anybody who regularly has 12' 2X4s to carry around, like me, will agree). Now, Chevy did something clever: a simple and accessible button to deactivate the power lift gate when you want it to shut its mouth even if there's something in the way. Why, O, why don't carmakers ALL do this? It's simple, effective, easy to use. Kudos Chevy, very good idea.
The other goodie I love in the Trailblazer is the possibility to fold down completely the front passenger seat. For a skier and a kayak enthusiast like me, big win.
This a compelling buy... everything works except the gas milage. That's something not great but not super terrible. I think it's safe to get the best warranty for engine and transmission for peace of mind.... skip the cvt for the best experience.
Great job guys .. love the dynamics. Keep the great content coming.
Thank you for real questions from consumers and a real view as a family....
Our pleasure!
You guys are my favourite car reviewers, packed with info and easy to watch. Andrea once again , you look amazing, so beautiful. Keep up the great content, power couple 💯
Our pleasure!
Thank you very much, I am really glad you are enjoying all the content. Awesome!
Great video guys!
Terrific, thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it.
8 inches is always better then 7 inches! Love it....funny and great job guys! 😂
Great review! Glad to see Chevy step up their game a bit after the very disappointing Blazer reboot!
It only took them 120 years but I actually like this Chevrolet. Great little car. Attractive looking. Smart.
Thanks Andrea. Great review
Awesome, thank you, glad you liked it! :)
🙌 another great review from the POWER couple of the automotive review industry!! Pretty cool to see wireless android auto/ Apple car play at this price point. Andrea is just 🔥!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so very much! So glad to hear you enjoyed it, awesome. :)
Very good review😁
I can’t wait for more😀
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. :)
Does sunroof open? To allow air flow? Or only panoramic? Any feedback is appreciated. Oops think saw it does..
Super video as always.
Thank you so much, really glad you liked it. :)
Andrea has such a great vibe...this couple is so much more dynamic than others on yt. Trailblazers are hard to find in MB and I believe that KTO tailgate can be disabled in DIC so that may of been the problem
Thank you so much, you are very kind. I appreciate the support and thanks for watching.
im looking into getting a new car and my friend has the 2021 chevy trailblazer basic model so it doesn't have and its fwd but she says its good with winter tires, would you reccomened fwd suv in ontario winters?
Great Review. At first blush, the spec sheet for this car seems like a mismatch. However, it seems like GM really did their homework and created a compelling car in this popular segment. I do believe that the LS model with the 1.2L/fwd with be a easy volume seller .Also for context GM is getting the same HP numbers as the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross with a smaller 3 cylinder engine. The exterior styling is very well done and GM's interiors continue to improve (not class leading but definitely intuitive and useful). I love the passenger front folding seat (ala Pontiac Vibe/ Toyota Matrix) that definitely helps with transporting larger items.
Great video!
Been a Zack fan for what seems like 20 years. Wasn’t he a weatherman for a bit? Liked when he started driving tv too. Glad I found your guys channel. Keep up the great work.
Welcome. Hope you enjoy the videos.
I’m surprised by this review. I was not too excited to hear about ‘another’ GM smaller S/CUV. But I kinda like this. And having recently looked at Buick’s SUV pricing (Enclave and lessers), this new Trailblazer... at the less than $30 grand price point seems to be a great value. I have to give the General credit on this point alone. Plus, the styling looks competitive. Thanks for the video, guys.
Thank you so much! Yes, the styling is just excellent, so sporty looking and the interior quite nice as well.
Another great review ! This suv is a new competitor of RVR
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Zach... They have glasses that correct your color blindness.. my grandson just got a pair & he loves them.. FYI
I very much appreciate this review. I'm an average consumer thinking about replacing my Chevy Cruze for a bigger car with better traction (I'm petite so I can't see well out of a lot of sedans) and I get overwhelmed watching car reviews with too much technical talk only car junkies could understand. This was very helpful for me to understand what I'd like.
Wow, that's wonderful, we are so happy you enjoyed the review. Good luck with finding your new car and thank you for watching.
I just replaced my Chevy Cruze with the trailblazer(:
@robertdistefano2235 do you like it?
I find mashing on the gas feels slower than a controlled graduation of throttle. Kinda like putting a thumb on the garden hose makes more pressure. Might be software, or maybe placebo effect.
Can you do a comparison between this trailblazer and the Kona n line
nice review u 2 !
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Chevy got it right with the styling, size, features, and price.
The 1.3L 3-cylinder “torque monster” could be a headache out of warranty.
I wouldn’t mind driving it as a rental car.
It drives good for the most part. You dont notice a lack of power but I wouldn't take this thing off road.
It has more interior room then most its size. Very roomy. Oh and the front passenger seat folds down.. Nice little feature.
I personally rather not be a test subject for the new 3 cylinder engines. I remember these things years ago being awful which is why they stopped making them. Odd Chevy brought one back. Even more odd that the Trailblazer does not get any better mpg compared to its 4 cylinder competition. You would think a smaller engine would see some advantage in mpg but not here. Don't get the point of it.
10 year warranty though. Screw it I think we are going to go for it.
@@bobshanery5152 Less weight on the Drivetrain and in general, less parts too so cheaper to produce!
@@chickenmuffin they offer a 10 year warranty ?
@@rickferr1546 Turns out it was just my local dealer. Went weth a CX-5 Kuro. WAY more car for the money. Actually it was even less money. Couldn't get over the 3 cyl and I think we made a great choice.
Looking good as always Drea!
Yes, yes and yeeeeeesssssss🤙🏾
Thank you so much! :)
Always!! 💯
The thirst is real 😂
For the kick you need your key fob in your pocket?
Blazing review Awesome couple/reviewers
Thank you very much, we are really happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for supporting the channel.
@@andreaspencer9813 Welcome I'm no fan of crossovers but still enjoyed it
How is this model handle in the snow?
Thanks for showing how one could make the passenger side into a bed for camping.
truly unbiased review and telling the truth ,thanks
Awesome, thank you so much! We appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
I definitely would need to test it on these Colorado roads!
When you review these small engine vehicles, can you also review their AC/ HVAC system?
I don't want to a wimpy HVAC system, thanks.
If it’s anything like the 1.5L Turbo in the Equinox, the HVAC should be pretty good. Air was ice cold in the summer, and the heat has been a most pleasant surprise. It starts throwing hot air in the cab faster than the 5.0L V8 in my C1500. We haven’t had it in anything colder than -10 yet, but it heats up very quickly. I’d credit it to a combination of electronic thermostat that routes warm coolant to the cabin first and a water jacketed exhaust manifold that pulls heat out of the exhaust as well. Now ask me how I feel about the idea of ever having to change that exhaust manifold ... or if it should develop a crack one day and start leaking coolant. Some days I really just like the old simple cars we had. Something out of the 60s is still my sweet spot. LOL
Hey guys love you.All the best from Romania. Is there any possibility when you display all the data of the engine power and tourqe, can you displayed in nm the tourqe. Only if it's possible.
You can easily convert yourself...
Can you please make a video comparing this to Chevy equinox 2022
9:37 Andrea: “inches are good”🤣
Looks good
I have a CX30 Premium and love it. Zach, how do you compare the Trailblazer to the CX30?
Will u he doing 2024 version?
Looks like the perfect size for me
Zack, you are color blind? Learned something new today. Impressed with the engine. Being VW guy, I am more excited about Volkswagen Taos and new 1.5 TSI. Can't wait to try them for drive review. 👍
Us too!
I’m so excited for the Taos as well
Same price as the larger Tiguan. The Taos is overpriced.
@@STORMZ8 Not really. Tiguan is getting more expensive while Taos, mated with 1.5 tsi dsg, is quicker than Tiguan engine and better fuel efficiency. So you are getting a lot more for the price albeit exorbitant one.
New kia rio has wireless apple car play and android auto. But kia rio in Canada and in my country has some differences. So I’m not sure about this.
I would add that the squared off SUVs for GM are the GMC branded ones which will be hosting the Hummer from the looks of their web page.Terrain is a bit more trucky and Acadia definitely is.
Oyeah... Inches do count,😂....see it more clearly...😉... great channel guys, always keeping it fun...👌🏽
12:36 This vehicle's styling is attractive. The fuel economy is disappointing, but it does have AWD.
Its mpg is pretty much equal to its competition. Its just odd that a 3 cylinder engine (less power, less weight etc) does nothing in the mpg area.
shes beautiful!
oh, and the chevy is nice too.
Stop being an online SIMP!!
@@TheShootersBay I can tell you're either 13, or older and just not very mature lmao.
Nice job Chevy... looks good and seems like good value to take on Seltos...I like the red accents as well. Too bad it has loose steering feel, but aside from Mazda, I’ve found that seems to be a common trait with a lot of SUVs. Heck, even my Ram 1500 has better steering feel than a lot of SUVs!
Actually, on second look at the pricing, it seems the Kia Turbo loaded is under $35k (with freight/PDI), and the Chev is $35k+ but seems to offer a few other options (heated rear seats/vented front seats, and a large 10.25” screen for example)...however, as I’d be interested in finding the lowest priced mini SUV (not too mini though like CX-3) for my teenage son to also drive in the next couple years, one option I repeatedly see in GM vehicles is Teen Driver (I think Ford has MyKey?). How useful is this feature, and do other manufacturers like Kia or Subaru (thinking Crosstrek) offer those? It’d be great if you guys did a review of what vehicles you’d think are best for teen drivers - and we live in Alberta, so AWD is a must :-)
I don't like loose steering either
the CX-30 GT comes standard with a power tailgate which is in the same class as this vehicle
Good catch, forgot about that one.
I was kinda excited about the Mazda cx-3 GT but now I'm about to change my mind and get the Chevrolet trailblazer. 🤔
You should! I just got a Trailblazer and I am very happy with it.
This car came from being a big truck to a class with hot hatches without being hot!
Cute blazer like 👍that 💘red top with the black ⚫I have a 2021malibu in red cherry 🍒with the black interior
Why the lift gate won't open might be you are standing to close to the camera, it's a safety feature.
fully loaded in the USA it's under $35k
I would not by the base with the 1.2 engine
Mazda CX30 has power liftgate, I think first in this segment
The number 1 reason for torque steer aside from uneven/slippery road surfaces is suspension setup and geometry. This is why there are 300+HP FWD cars that has ~0 torque steer
My Impala has over 300 HP and no torque steer.
Nice
Now question is how reliable is this ?
only time will tell
How do you recognize traffic lights??
I see colour, just not as vivid as you see it
UGH i love the look of this and the bronze color but i may have to end up getting the kona just because on paper its the better vehicle. .
The wife and I looked at the Kona recently too and I actually preferred that, but she liked the styling of the Trailblazer more so we ended up with that. I think the Kona is a slightly better overall value but these Trailblazers do look a bit more stylish.
Zack is the best reviewer.
He sure is!
Disappointing fuel economy from the 3 cylinder. I have the larger Equinox with the 1.5L turbo, and we are CONSISTENTLY getting 7.1 to 7.4l/100km on the highway with AWD in ‘auto’. With AWD locked on, about 7.8 highway. It’s very much surprised us, since it was only rated for 8.0 highway. We’ll break 12,000km on it next week, after about 11 weeks of ownership. (It does just over 200km/day commuting ... which is what we bought it for. Warranty sure isn’t going to last long at this rate!)
Seems ok, but the mileage is disappointing considering the turbo engine. For no penalty in drivability, I’d rather one of the 40mpg hybrids for a couple thousand more,
They have a hybrid for this car? I just found out about it tonight and really fell in love with this car. If I could find a hybrid with awd, that would be bliss
@@awakenedone7577 :escape hybrid
@@GHinWI I watched reviews on the escape hybrid before this one and I much prefer this trailblazer. Thanks though
@@awakenedone7577 I'm honestly shocked there isn't some sort of hybrid option, I own one and the gas mileage is underwhelming. Real missed opportunity for GM.
My wife has a 2020 Buick Encore GX. When I drive it, I turn off the " lane keep assist " feature (pushbutton near AWD switch) . The electric power steering is light but quite accurate. With the lane keep assist on it ping-pongs the car between the lane markers, feels very vague and it's always correcting, it seems. It feels artificial. My suggestion for buyers of this vehicle is to disable the feature to obtain a much better driving experience. Cheers from MI USA
Is it wrong to say I'm in love with your wife ? I apologize. Cause I love you too! You are both awesome. Great job
Lol
Wasn’t the trail brazer a large suv with a straight 6
I have an old trailblazer ss 6.0 and I wouldn’t trade it for this
Yea it was an off road car as well.
You should never drive this new one off road... Maybe some flat dirt path but that's about it.
No mention of a heated steering wheel. Am I missing something or did GM drop the ball on this one
Heated steering wheel is an option. My wife's new Trailblazer RS has it.
Mazda's cx 30 has automatic tailgate
What he didnt say is the awd doesnt engage automatically. You gotta press the button every time. Thats the weirdest thing ever, never heard another mainstream crossover with awd operating like that
Mitsubishi has the same thing
8 inch screen is too small , here in the far East we wish for a bigger system.
Awesome guys! Lots of features in it but as Andrea said steering is not good (Too light) . Why do GM has to make steering feel very light. I drove a few GM in the past and they always light!
How are the safety reviews?
Does it still shut off the engine when the car stop? I am not a fan of the shut off engine! Couple times we shop our new car we checkout chevy cars we don’t like this feature so we end up buy other cars company instead
Most cars you can turn that feature off.
Was this the Chevy car to have rounded air vents or is it the Blazer? With so many suvs dunno anymore 😂😂🤷🏻♀️
Power tail gate is offered on the 2021 ford escape
The Ford Escape is a class up in size
@@Motormouth... Good to know!
if the steering is the only thing she complains about, it must be a pretty good ride
This car reminds me of It’s like people loving Burger King again
💡the real question is do you trust these small 1.3L GM turbo engines , given their poor reliability history , why risk your hard earned money
Exactly, I'm going with Mazda. GM should not have got a bailout, they've learned nothing....
God no u don't trust them. Especially in a GM. Buying/leading this car more then 3 years is tjrowing away your money
Nope! I also wouldn't buy a bigger SUV with an itty bitty 2.0T either.
Dang, you’re talking $35,000 for the RS AWD with HST in Ontario. There is no way I’m willing to part with that kind of money for a small Chevy Blazer. The HST tacks on an extra $4500, nevermind dealer fees etc.! US dealers will discount a lot more than Canadian ones and there’s not near the tax. Where I just moved from (South Carolina) the tax is 6% and capped at $300 for a new or used car!! In Canada they get you comin and goin’. Needless to say I’m moving back to the states once the pandemic is over.
@@larryc1964 I know right, we get taxed to death on everything. I used to go to N.H. for the auto race years back and loved walking out of a store 0% tax....
I’m a college grad on a budget looking for a new car since my car died. This car looks really impressive, but I’m kinda iffy about the engine
What did you end up getting? My wife wants one of these.
The Trailblazer & Blazer look to be ok but seem like huge missed opportunities for a real off-road SUV return considering their historical competitor Ford Bronco is making a huge comeback. The SUV trend is fine but cramming SUV/CUVs in every nook and cranny looks to be overkill - especially when Chevy has a bevy of models that seem to “duplicate efforts” in segments.
I think you both drink too much ..I see the coffee cups in the middle consul . Drinking and driving... Great video ...just joking love you too. Ya ..hosers...
Is drea's legs insured?they should be Damn!!!😍
No doubt. Lord help me
Remember when this name was on a real 4X4?
They should of made the new Trailblazer a off road vehicle like what Ford did with the bronco. I prefer the older Chevy trailblazer body style.
Also the red is extra
3 years later - have we learned anything about the engine's reliability?
"Inches are good"......Ooooo Andrea, ur such a naughty lil' vixen!!😂😂
Is it me or do these reviews get better when these reviewers add their spouses?
Hard to believe they are asking that much money for such a tiny vehicle. It’s basically a chevy trax wrapped up in the shell of a nicer car. In normal times this thing would depreciate like crazy
Hey Zack and Andrea. Channel is getting more interesting all the time (sexual connotations). I balked at first and thought you were crazy bringing your wife on board but I was 100% wrong. Your channel is now better than ever!! "Put a girl in it". Very best of luck to both of you.
Thanks for the kind words.
The interior looks dated. I wonder how a 3 cylinder will hold up over time
