Everyone has been saying this. Wonder why GM didn’t?

Honestly i dont think the trail blazer has the same heritage of bronco to produce a retro version

The TrailBlazer doesn’t have the heritage. They should’ve brought back the Blazer properly.

NCR_Ranger .- yeah Chevy ruined the blazer

They should atleast do some kind of off-road trim with the blazer or a different blazer based model

too bad theyre all outta business

I was thinking the same thing. I would honestly be happy if i got this Trailblazer if I paid to rent a Nissan Rogue Sport, Renegade or similar. I’d rather rent a Kia Soul I think, but this might be the next best option as far as rental fleets go

How about the Honda Pilot?

@@lasuzx Honda has very very little fleet sales. Almost no Honda’s are rental cars.

@@garrettw99 you are completely right about that BUT. There is still a good amount of Honda’s in some places that get rented out. Might be a little cheap but a lot of people enjoy them as long as they are nice and clean

Because people are spoiled, judgmental, and find anything to complain about. 🙄 I like it, too.

Fr! I like it, it looks cool and comfortable and for people that want a new car and not that over priced I think this is good.

@@km3663m We’re just voicing our opinions.

I think it's the best in its class. I'm looking to buy it soon

Many people here in the Philippines loves it and they say it is reliable vehicle

Did you get the 2.0? It’s going away for one year (2021) then they are replacing it with the newer (but less powerful) 2.0 that they are using in a bunch of cars.

@@jacobyo99 we ended up going with the 1.5, the SLT with a 2.0 was 4000 more. The one point five even though it's not very powerful on paper, does a good job keeping the RPMs in the torque curve.

@hiroshima thompson There's a lot of truth to that. I work for a Subaru dealer, and no matter how unreliable those cars are, no one hates that company. It's crazy.

I’m thinking about this as an upgrade from a Spark

Hennessy I was going to say this is way too similar to a Kona or Seltos style mini SUV in the sense of packaging, features an not bad proportions.... unlike the hideous Chevy Trax

Kinda reminds of when Ford Europe started knocking it out of the park for Ford a few years ago, almost seems like another brand.

Unfortunately Holden won’t exist soon 😔

when was GM Australia ever making boring cars

Engine is built in Mexico

The new Chevy Trailblazer is the reason you like cars? 😂 jk

No I liked cars since I was little😂😂😂

@Jonathan Losito for people that have low credit, it gives them a cheap and spacious car that will last for 100k miles with little to no problems. I don’t like the car either and I would never consider buying one, but it’s good for some people.

Garrett W A chevy definitely won’t last 100,000 miles, it might last about 30k on a rental car lot with sufficient maintenance.

@@alh06 I would never buy a GM car either, but that is just ignorant to say Chevys don't last to 100k miles. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of examples on Autotrader. No, they aren't great quality, but any non-luxury car built in the past few years can make it to 100k miles with maintenance unless you get a bad example. Even extremely crappy cars like the Dodge Dart can make it to 100k. This trailblazer might be on a similar scale to the Dart in terms of crappiness though given the 3 cylinders turbos.

what's a brand new car for 25k would you consider superior to this? if I could get a good deal for around 22/23 id consider this a great car

@@Dreww31786 Off the top, a $25,190 2021 Mazda CX5. Probably a few dozen others not off the top.

@@bg1379 ok I’m not saying any car I’m saying a semi practical car that could somewhat compare to the trailblazer. Plus I doubt you’re getting out the door for 25k for a Miata in 2021, you’re looking in the range of 27-32k

@@Dreww31786 A CX5 is an SUV the Miata is an MX5

@@sanjeevv.9901 With exception to their racing division, Mazda has always been garbage.

Then you’ve never actually drove anything fast. This car is so slow it’s almost comical

@@davudgoldberg747 I’ve actually drive my moms Z01 corvette, Jag F type bmw z4. I’ve driven Escalades, ranges, all kinds of Benz’s. Like I said the car is decent with enough get up for what it is

@Jonathan Losito sound and perform well enough for what this is.

@Jonathan Losito i mean the 0-60 in this thing is 7.9 seconds which is nuts for a three cylinder in a compact suv

@Jonathan Losito wrong

its a great vehicle....test drive..see for yourself

It’s slow trust me

And pair it with the 9-speed for those low first few gears and awd for the grip. That little SoB would be quick. Or if GM really wanted to go out on a limb, engineer a turbo 5 cylinder based on the same architecture as the i3, and pair it to the 9-speed and awd. That would REALLY make it scream.

@@tdmfan750 I love the 5 cylinder idea!

best of luck ,,,me too...got mine last week...love it

How does it do on steep hills?

But who wants to compare themselves to Europoors. What's next, we have to lower our standards to British cuisine and NHS dental care?

Well that’s why you are called “europoors”

I own one and trust it is not 155hp take 30 off that to the wheels .. trying to pass anyone is a issue in this trying to merge on the high is an issue in this trying to do anything is an issue lol this car is slow almost to slow. Anybody could speed up and not let you pass if they wanted. The turbo is so small the only thing it does is maybe give you better mpg the engine in this car weak the car it’s self is okay.. should of been a v6 with at least 230 or more horsepower

I'd pay to see that

4.2 inline 6

They should cram a tt v6 in this, but of course they won't.

NORT2GORD4U that’s what he wrote dingus

I think most of us knew this already

@@Defy_Convention GM lost its guts years ago. All of the good performance went over to their corvette division, and what’s left is anemic at best. I remember the trailblazer SS. With the white gauges. I got about 4 years with one before selling it. Now THAT was a real Trailblazer.

Just fyi: the 5.3 is an “LS” V8.

@@iggibars Forgot about that, but the 6.0 LS is what I was talking about.

@@Barbaratio there’s a lot of confusion on the 5.3, and it’s all GM’s fault imo. I’ve been lucky enough to have had a few vehicles with LS and LT engines in my life and can pretty much build them with my eyes closed. The major difference between the 5.3 and 6.0 of that era revolves around the intended platform they would be used on. The reason why GM gave their engine different naming is because of what their intent was. LS is intended for sedans/performance cars. LT is for trucks. The 5.3 was the oddball of them all because its block is what is used on the 6.0 LS, but is bored out. GM designated it as a truck engine on paper, vs the 6.0 being for sedans, and somehow they managed to flip the real world use and use them interchangeably. The 5.3 went into the Impala SS. There are other models that also had mismatched engines- like the corvette and Camaros with LT engines. This is one of the reason performance engine builder take 5.3 blocks and build them up. On paper, there is LT and LS, but in real life, they’re all LS engines with slight tweaks and updated components depending on the performance they’re trying to reach. You wouldn’t know this unless you’ve taken them apart and rebuilt them, unfortunately.

All same there is no different

probably just as shit as this one

It’s a inline 3. With a turbo. 😬 I can already tell the reliability will be horrible.

There's not really a benefit of sitting up higher except not scraping your car if there is a big bump. Also I've gotten better city mpg in a CR-V than that blazer did on the highway. The civic is a good option since you could get the hatchback and it gets very good mpg from my testing of my moms civic lol. Accord is also nice. Better interior than the civic.

Exactly. Hopefully they learn from their mistake

Girlfriend leased an awd RS trim. Pretty nice. Some road noise and engine is not very refined but you need to expect that for this price point I think. Averaging a very nice 29 mpg. Also, check your tire pressure. They had them inflated to 45 psi from the factory still. Good way to eat your stock tires up quick and have a crap ride :).

The 1.3L engine actually uses a timing chain instead of a timing belt. If you get the 1.2L engine in the Trailblazer, then you will have a timing belt. I looked into this since I recently bought a Buick Encore GX with the 1.3L and wanted to make sure which one it used.

@@henryd1981 It also appears there is conflicting info. I went over to the trailblazer forums and it appears the oil pump and balance shaft are a chain but the cam belt is indeed a belt.

@@JS-bp3up I looked up the parts to be sure after reading the owner's manual, which states that timing belt replacement in the maintenance schedule only applies to the 1.2L engine.

@@henryd1981 That is what someone else said on the forums stating the same fact about the 1.2 and apparently there is nothing stated in the owners manual about the 1.3. Another replied with info about the 1.3 saying it does have a timing belt but the oil pump is chain driven. I am unable to post the screenshot and looks like a call to the dealer needs to clear this up.
