Sleek Design That Turns Heads
In 2026, the Trailblazer features updated front and rear styling, new exterior color options, and refreshed wheel designs. Available two-tone roof treatments continue to be offered on trims like ACTIV and RS, giving those variants a distinctive look. The ACTIV trim leans into off-road styling cues (skid plate elements, rugged accents), while the RS trim adds sporty touches such as premium wheel designs and bold interior accents.
Technology That Simplifies Your Drive
Tech upgrades are a strong point for the 2026 model. A standard 11-inch HD color touchscreen now comes in most trims, and it supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, making smartphone integration seamless. Higher trims can include enhancements such as wireless charging and premium audio systems for a richer in-cabin experience.
Performance Designed for Versatility

Chevrolet offers two turbocharged three-cylinder engine options for 2026. The standard 1.2L Turbo engine makes 137 horsepower and 162 lbs.-ft. of torque, ideal for daily commuting. Upgrading to the 1.3L Turbo engine raises output to 155 horsepower and 174 lbs.-ft, and is often paired with all-wheel drive (AWD) in higher trims. The Trailblazer uses a 9-speed automatic transmission in AWD variants.
With these configurations, fuel efficiency is competitive: in FWD setups, the Trailblazer is rated around 29 mpg city / 31 mpg highway / 30 mpg combined, while AWD versions with the 1.3L engine see a drop (e.g. 26 city / 30 highway / 28 combined). The Trailblazer’s maximum towing capacity is modest by SUV standards—1,000 lbs. across all trims.
Safety Comes Standard
Chevrolet includes its Chevy Safety Assist suite across all 2026 Trailblazer trims. Standard driver-assistance features include Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. Optional safety upgrades—such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Rear Cross Traffic Alert—are available on select trims. The Trailblazer also maintains 10 standard airbags and includes Teen Driver technology.
