Vehicle Overview
Chevrolet fans who have not heard the news will be thrilled to learn that the Trailblazer nameplate is returning to the Chevy lineup for the 2021 model year. This new Trailblazer will be available at Crossroads Chevrolet, which is your local Chevy dealership in Corinth Mississippi. In this early 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer review, we want to give consumers a look at what Chevy is striving to achieve and what drivers can expect. So, where does the all-new Trailblazer fit in? It is a small crossover SUV that will slide in between the Equinox and Trax. The small crossover segment is among the most competitive in the American market. Let us take a look at how Chevy plans to shake it up, but please be mindful that it is still early in the process and some of the details we have available for you may be subject to change.
Exterior - 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer
The exterior was perhaps the easiest aspect of assembling this 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer review because Chevy revealed it in April 2019 at the Auto Shanghai show. The images that are widely available depict what the company calls the Redline trim. That suggests perhaps various exterior trims that consumers will be able to choose. We know of the base equipment trim and a sportier trim that may include exterior enhancements, such as a spoiler and fog lights. The 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer should feature 17-inch wheels with an option to move up to at least 18 inches. The competition suggests that you can expect heated mirrors and automatic headlights as standard equipment. Options should include LED lighting, rain-sensing windshield wipers, parking sensors and a sunroof.
Interior - 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer in Corinth MS
A great reason to test-drive the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer at Crossroads Chevrolet in Corinth Mississippi will be to see this new interior in person. Although few formal details have become available, we are excited and have high expectations based on what Chevy has done recently with its other SUVs. We did get word of an RS trim that will upgrade the base model with a sport-oriented steering wheel and driver seating. A luxury trim with a focus on creature comforts is to be expected as well, and a hybrid trim that balances sportiness and luxury would not be unexpected either. As far as cargo capacity, it is still a matter of speculation at this point, but at least 50 cubic feet with the seats down seems likely.
Mechanical - Chevrolet Trailblazer specs in Corinth
Since the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer is such a new vehicle, mechanical is where we have the least information and have to rely heavily on the segment at large. One thing we do know is that the Trailblazer shares its platform with the Buick Encore GX. This means that front-wheel drive is a certainty and that an all-wheel-drive option is a likelihood. It may also be worth noting that the Encore GX has a payload capacity greater than 1000 pounds. Additionally, a properly equipped Encore GX can tow 3500 pounds, so we should expect a similarly equipped Trailblazer to be able to handle at least that much.
Powertrain - Chevrolet Trailblazer specs in Corinth MS
The powertrain may be the part of our 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer review that gets the most attention. Be mindful that Chevy has made no formal announcements in this area yet, but respected automotive magazines, such as Car and Driver, have speculated based on the segment and the brand’s tendencies. The consensus is a turbocharged four-cylinder as the base engine. A six-speed automatic transmission is likely, but a tranny with more gears is possible. Speculating on performance is a bit tougher, especially since there are rumors of a new engine in the works that may make its debut with the Trailblazer. While the Trailblazer has remained in production in countries like Brazil, that international model targets a different segment, so it probably is not useful to speculate based on those engines.
Safety - 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer dealer
Chevy has made a lineup-wide commitment to safety, and as we researched for this early 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer review, we learned that the automaker has a similar approach for this vehicle. A look at the other SUVs that Chevy offers at Crossroads Chevrolet in Corinth Mississippi will give you a good idea of what to expect. We know for certain that the driver assistance package that is standard on so many of the brand’s sports utility vehicles will be standard on the base model here as well. You can expect standard features like a touchscreen, backup camera and automatic emergency braking. The Trailblazer will also have systems for lane departure notifications and lane-keeping assistance. Driver assist options will include rear parking assistance and adaptive cruise control. An optional parking assist package will include parking sensors as well as a high-definition rearview camera upgrade.
