Shop the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer at Jeremy Hodge Chevrolet GMC

The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a subcompact crossover that is fun to drive on the streets of Ardmore or the trails near the Lake Murray State Park Loop. The 2026 Trailblazer delivers delightful handling, three available drive modes, a suite of technology features to keep everyone entertained, and amenities to keep the driver and passengers both safe and comfortable inside the cabin.

Chevrolet understands that everyone is different, which is why the brand offers the 2026 Trailblazer in four unique trims to fit your lifestyle.

2026 Trailblazer Trim Levels

• LS: The base LS trim is suited for vehicle shoppers who need convenience at hand, such as the 11-inch diagonal color touchscreen, 8-inch diagonal Driver Information Center screen, and HD Rear Vision Camera.
• LT: The LT trim is ideal for those drivers who live on the go, thanks to Keyless Open and Start and a remote vehicle starter system.
• ACTIV: For those who wish to venture off-road, the ACTIV trim is the right choice, offering a powerful ECOTEC® 1.3-liter Turbo engine, off-road suspension tuning, and a functional skid plate.
• RS: Standing literally above the rest of the trims in the model lineup with 19-inch high-gloss black machined-aluminum wheels, the RS outshines with features found in the ACTIV trim as well as luxury touches like a heated, wrapped steering wheel and red interior accents.

The 2026 Trailblazer's prowess speaks volumes, as this subcompact crossover is often compared to larger compact crossovers like the Kia Sportage and Toyota RAV4, as it offers more space in the second row than its competitors. While it may be a small SUV crossover, it handles city driving with fierce agility.

Additionally, Chevy shoppers will find the 2026 Trailblazer in the brand's SUV lineup between the Chevrolet Trax and Blazer. The Trailblazer, however, allows drivers to venture off pavement in a way the Trax does not, while being more nimble than the larger Chevrolet Blazer SUV.

Engine Performance in the 2026 Chevy Trailblazer

In the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer, you can choose from three powertrain configurations. With a standard ECOTEC 1.2-liter Turbo engine outfitted with a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive (FWD) drivetrain, the LS and LT trims produce 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. Both trims can also be equipped with the turbocharged 1.3-liter engine, which is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and AWD.

With a standard 9-speed automatic transmission and ECOTEC 1.3-liter Turbo engine, the 2026 Chevy Trailblazer ACTIV and RS trims can cover plenty of ground with an available all-wheel drivetrain, which outputs 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. The higher trims of the 2026 Trailblazer also offer the 1.3-liter Turbo engine paired with a CVT and FWD.

This Chevy subcompact crossover is suited for city commuting with superb fuel economy:

• EPA-estimated 26 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway when equipped with a 1.3-liter AWD

While the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer prioritizes efficiency and maneuverability over heavy-duty towing like the Silverado 1500 or full-size SUVs such as the Tahoe and Suburban, it still offers a capable 1,000-pound maximum towing capacity for smaller trailers and gear.
