Chevy's done a great job with the latest 2022 Trailblazer. It isn't the most efficient or the best-performing vehicle in the class, but it is exceedingly competent at nearly everything it does. In the increasingly competitive class of extra-small SUVs, the Trailblazer is a half-step ahead.

2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer ACTIV 4dr SUV AWD (1.3L 3cyl Turbo 9A)
I’m honestly quite surprised at how much I enjoy this vehicle. We needed a in-between car, something easy to drive, all wheel drive, and relatively good on fuel. I did not try any of the Hyundai or Kia alternatives as I’ve had terrible experiences with their products already, but I did try the Toyota CHR and Honda HRV. I liked both but settled with the Chevy as I much preferred it’s … exterior styling over the others. My first Chevy and after 9 months still very happy. The little 3cyl is plenty powerful (seriously, it’s very adequate) and so far I’m enjoying around 33 mpg average. No mechanical or quality issues.

2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT 4dr SUV (1.2L 3cyl Turbo CVT)
I just got it over the weekend and love it so much. Traded in 2019 Kia Sportage. I have the 1.3 engine with FWD. I took my trailblazer on road trip approx 480 miles and avg 30.4 mpg doing 80 on the interstate. Never felt like it was under power going thru the mountains.
The greatest car ever!

2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS 4dr SUV (1.3L 3cyl Turbo CVT)
My Trailblazer RS is pretty much as expected, which is a good thing. I purchased the vehicle with several packages, including sunroof, auto lift gate, technology, convenience. As such, the appearance and driving experience is a pleasure! Not going to beat many in a race :), but has no problems with either city driving nor highway driving. Roomy interior, perception of openness … enhanced by panoramic sunroof, just a cool looking vehicle with lots of options for a reasonable price.
