 The savvy consumer of 2020 that is looking high and low for a new vehicle has many great reasons to choose a crossover SUV. Numerous trims, all of the newest features, and stellar EPA mileage ratings are just a few of the impressive SUV features that attract prospective buyers. The 2021 Trailblazer was on-deck for a test drive by the staff of Torque News over the past week, and they praised the vehicle for solidifying Chevy's presence in the appealing mid-size segment.

The team's first thoughts as they approached the Trailblazer were regarding the exterior, and how it stands out brightly compared to others currently offered. With looks that are surely vying for the urban driver, the high beams are at the top of the large central grille and poised to make a noticeable entrance for anyone navigating the busy and frantic schedule of city life. The RS trim provides a completely different look for the exhaust, as well as vertical rear reflectors and LED tail lamps. 

The suitably compact size of this crossover alleviates the need for 8 cylinders and a massive horsepower offering to still move around easily, and you have the well-performing engine upgrade choice of a 1.3-liter with a 155 horsepower output and 174 lb-ft of torque. EPA fuel ratings are situated at 28 mpg combined, 26 city, and 30 highway. Once inside, the interior is snug, accessible, and modern. The sport adjustment buttons, integral mode, and traction control are easily within arm's length, and the Activ trim level offers the useful smartphone charging plate. The Activ trim level also provides the different color options of Summit White or Zeus Bronze Metallic and is the only trim with the added visual touch of chrome lower inserts.

With looks that bear similarity to the newer Blazer while still possessing a unique and edgy presence, the 2021 Trailblazer features 40/60 split-folding second-row seats, and an overall storage capacity rated up to 54.4 cubic feet. Make sure to check out the Convenience and Driver Confidence Packages, which equip AWD models with the addition of automatic climate control air conditioning, SiriusXM Radio, and 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen display, USB charging ports, a 120-volt power outlet, an inside rearview auto-dimming mirror, driver and front passenger illuminated vanity mirrors, sliding visors, lane change alert, and rear park assist. 

What we love most about the new Trailblazer here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis once again comes back to the “do-anything” nature of the Activ trim. It has been tuned for off-road use by adding all-season tires, reworked shocks, and more ground clearance along with very awesome roof rails. A competitor with the likes of rivals such as the Honda HR-V, the 2021 Trailblazer is strong-stanced right out of the gate, with an aggressive appearance that conforms well to the traditional needs of any busy family on the move!
