2025 Chevy Trailblazer

Chevy has a tendency to dig up names from its past for new models, and one of the latest examples is the Trailblazer. This is not a large truck-like SUV as the first generation was, but instead it's a small and efficient crossover for getting around a city. With all-wheel drive available on every trim level and a torquey turbocharged engine, the Trailblazer is just rugged enough to capture the attention of young buyers.

Edmunds spotlight: Changes we expect for 2025

While Chevrolet hasn’t confirmed anything official yet, our best guess is that the Trailblazer well receive a mid-life refresh for 2025. This should bring subtle styling tweaks to the interior and exterior but also — and more importantly — the latest in Chevy’s technology arsenal. The brand has committed to moving away from Apple CarPlay integration, so this could be a feature on the chopping block for 2025.

Competitors to consider

The poster-child competitor for the Trailblazer is the very popular Subaru Crosstrek. It’s similar in size and capability to the Chevy, but it comes standard with all-wheel drive. Subaru also offers the Crosstrek Wilderness, which is a favorite choice for those plan to hit the trails with their SUV.

The 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer is an affordable SUV with the right list of features to go with it. Though it packs less charm than the lovable Subaru Crosstrek, Chevy's making the right call offering a product like this to the massive market of rugged SUV buyers.
