Chevrolet continues to raise the bar with the 2026 Trailblazer, a compact SUV that’s equal parts bold design, smart versatility, and confident capability. From the charming streets of Charlevoix, MI, to the scenic stretches of Lake Michigan, the Trailblazer is built to stand out and step up. With its refined interior, adventurous trims, and dynamic performance, this small SUV proves that practicality can still turn heads.
Eye-Catching Design
The 2026 Trailblazer makes an impression before you even start the engine. Its sharp, sculpted exterior lines and available two-tone roof on ACTIV and RS trims create a look that’s modern and distinct. The ACTIV model leans into rugged sophistication with an off-road suspension, functional skid plate, and exclusive Titanium-chrome grille, while the RS trim embraces athletic flair with a black mesh grille, dual exhaust outlets, and 19-inch high-gloss machined aluminum wheels.
Chevrolet even added a new Apex Red Tintcoat to the color lineup—an eye-catching finish that perfectly complements Michigan’s vibrant sunsets. Whether parked on Bridge Street or headed north to Petoskey, the Trailblazer’s design speaks of adventure with upscale confidence.
Performance Built for Michigan Roads
Under the hood, the 2026 Trailblazer offers two distinct powertrains to match your driving needs:
- 1.2L ECOTEC® Turbo Engine (FWD) – Standard on LS and LT FWD, this efficient engine is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for smooth power delivery and everyday efficiency.
- 1.3L ECOTEC® Turbo Engine (AWD) – Standard on all AWD models and optional on higher FWD trims, this engine produces 155 horsepower and 174 lbs.-ft. of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for quick, confident acceleration.
3 available drive modes—Normal, Snow, and Sport—allow you to tailor performance to your surroundings, whether it’s a winter commute through Charlevoix or a lakeside weekend escape.
Tech That Keeps You Connected
The Trailblazer’s cabin is just as forward-thinking as its exterior. Every model now features an 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen paired with an 8-inch digital driver information center—a sleek dual-display setup that gives the interior a high-tech, premium feel.
Stay effortlessly connected with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, while the available Bose® 7-speaker audio system turns every playlist into a private concert. Add the available wireless charging pad and keyless push-button start, and your Trailblazer ensures comfort and convenience are always within reach.
Room to Roam
Compact on the outside yet spacious within, the Trailblazer surprises with exceptional versatility. The fold-flat front passenger seat allows you to carry items up to 8.5 feet long, while the available hands-free power liftgate makes loading and unloading effortless. With seating for 5 and clever storage solutions throughout, this small SUV is perfect for life on the go—whether that means hauling paddleboards or groceries.
Confidence Comes Standard

- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Following Distance Indicator
- Front Pedestrian Braking
