I bought the Trailblazer RS to replace my 2018 Cruze LT. When I test drove it, I had on idea it was a 3 cylinder! The 1.3 Turbo isn't going to set ant acceleration records, but it is competent around town or merging on to Florida's 70 MPH highways. Surprisingly roomy inside, both in the front and back. Adequate cargo space for an extra small SUV. I got the FWD version with the CVT transmission - takes a little getting used to without and hard shifts between gears like a conventional trans. Cruise control acted up twice, but other than that the first 6K miles have been pleasant.

Great Styling, Poor Build Quality and Materials

I took a chance on leasing a Trailblazer RS after being unable to get a Toyota due to lack of inventory. At first this small SUV caught my attention due to its contemporary design and relative affordability. This is a top trim level RS unit. After driving this thing for the past 3 months however I'm extremely disappointed. While the economy is decent, the engineering and build quality are abysmal. Surface scratches & paint swirls from the beginning. Rubber & plastic trim pieces literally falling off vehicle. Wireless charging pad never worked from day one. Cruise control stopped working after the first month. Cheap plastic interior surfaces scratch and dull from even minimal normal usage. Rough idle at start up many days. Transmission often jerks forward when placed into drive. Keep in mind, this is a 2022 vehicle with only 2600 miles on it. When I've taken my Trailblazer into the local Chevrolet dealership, they've been unresponsive to my concerns. Basically I've been told, you get what you pay for and I shouldn't expect great quality on an entry level SUV. I can't even imagine what I'm going to have to deal with being locked into a lease with this rapidly deteriorating vehicle for the next 3 years. I've lost what little confidence or trust I had left for American vehicles after owning this Trailblazer. If given the chance I'd walk away from my lease, put myself on a waiting list for a Toyota and ride the bus until it were available. Never again Chevrolet. If you are even remotely considering a Trailblazer, run away fast!

I wouldn’t recommend. I purchased a new 2022 trailblazer in July of 2021. My engine light came on. I have only 2496 miles on my vehicle. The dealership said they have to replace the transmission.
Best vehicle I’ve had

The trailblazer is very quick for a 3 cylinder. I’ve had mine for 4 months now and have put over 18k miles on it already. I got the fully loaded awd rs model. It’s very comfortable and roomy. The only complaint I have is the climate control system is overthought and near the seatbelt holder it makes noises sometimes and ir can be annoying because it’s near your ear.

So I purchased this SUV on June 13th 2022 (all black) so I've had it a little over three months and I must say that I do absolutely love it. We shall see if this vehicle will stand the test of time as I was a little leery of purchasing another Chevy after my 2016 Equinox all of the sudden had timing belt and transmission issues. When at the dealership I was asked if I wanted another Equinox I said I wanted something different and since I was getting a brand new car I wanted to get my monies worth. Well so far the Trailblazer has been money well spent. I drive a lot (5,877mi already) and where I live there are a lot of back roads as well we use the highways to get around and I have not been disappointed with the handling. I am able to merge without having any issues and I know when I see test drives and read reviews everyone says that because of the 3cyl engine it merges slow and may not do well with long distance driving. To that I say so far so good I have spent a lot of time in my Trailblazer traveling back to my home state to visit my family and I have had no issues passing or keeping up with traffic. The seating has been very comfortable for long-distance driving but I will agree that the braking is so sensitive that you really have to be mindful that it will take some getting use too. One thing that surprised me is it seems to get better gas mileage in AWD. So my experience with my Trailblazer has been good so far as well as the roomy cabin for when I have passengers; people have remarked how spacious it is sitting in the back. Oh I forgot to mention one other thing I don't like is the cargo shade well if you can call it that. It is just a single piece that slides in meaning that it is not retractable; it is just a thin cloth like cover that is just there. I mean it dose the job of concealment but in a very generic toy-like way.
