The return of the Trailblazer namesake has been
dominating the web and newswires this year, as customers just like our loyal Chuck Hutton
patrons nationwide prepare to have another option to choose from while browsing
on the lot. Earlier this year, Motor Trend officially broke the
news that the name was going to be brought back. Then in April, the
Trailblazer's revealing took place during the monumental Shanghai Auto Show. At
the time, it wasn't commented on regarding whether or not the Trailblazer would
come to the states as well, but now it's officially been told that the
Trailblazer will make it's return to the U.S. For the 2021 model year.
It was confirmed that the Trailblazer would slot
between the Equinox and the Trax, and that automatic emergency braking with
lane assist and pedestrian detection will come as standard. We are excited for
the arrival of this great design that will enable a very thorough amount of
personalization, and an RS trim that comes with a super cool and authentic
two-tone roof as standard. More news will probably be heard at the Lost Angeles
Auto Show in November, as everyone will be able to feast their eyes on the
crossover that Car and Driver claims is “pleasantly boxy,
stylish, and classic.”
It shares the same aggressive front grille tiered
headlights, complex side surfacing, big wheels, and black body cladding of the
Blazer, and it is expected to have a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an
automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is expected to be standard, with
all-wheel drive as an option. The folks on staff at Jalopnik rated this at first sight as a “Camaro face on a crossover body”, and
we actually contest that we love this comparison! We love to brandish the fact
that we think the Camaro is the best pony ever created by car engineers, and
that it comes out on top of the Mustang when the serious street racers offer
their own two cents!
Fans of vehicles such as the Jeep Wrangler will
want to pay close attention: this IS a legit savior for those looking for
something that may be just a slight touch less off-roady. We know full well
that the original Blazer was one of the vehicles that really defined its own
niche with one of the most rugged flairs in existence: introduced during the
1969 model year, the K5 Blazer had “full convertible” removable tops until
1975, and many flocked in great numbers when the fullest-size Suburban came to
market. Don't feel too upset about the fact that some are deeming the flavor of
the coming Trailblazer a bit urban: this snug and capable crossover will be the
perfect means of getting around Memphis and the surrounding areas without any
snags: It's the perfect example of what happens when a legendary and trusty
troubadour finds its way to excel in today's demanding market!
