Same here! I love the styling that Chevy implemented on the new TrailBlazer and Blazer brothers. They look very unique.

Oh yes! A 2.0T with AWD would be a pretty generous powertrain for the TrailBlazer. Currently, the most powerful version of the 2021 TrailerBlazer produces 155 horses and 177 lb-ft. A 2.0T would surely push this sub-compact's horsepower and torque ratings well over the 200 mark. Putting it towards the top of the class in terms of power. I highly doubt Chevy would do that anytime soon, but I'd imagine the 1.3T version to be adequate in its AWD varient. Have you been able to check it out yet? Let me know if you have any questions at all. I am here to help. Take care, stay safe, and please subscribe. More content is on it's way.

@@DriveAndBeDriven I currently drive a 2018 equinox 2.0turbo.awd as a daily driver and a 2008 ltz 6.0 avalanche for my work truck. The equinox is surprisingly quick with the 9 speed turbo. I was sold on it as my grocery getter😄👍
Hey there, Von! I can't really say that one is better than the other because they compete in two different categories. If you want more space with a more powerful powertrain, the Blazer would make more sense for you (but it will be more expensive than the smaller TrailBlazer). On the other hand, the Blazer is more compact, but will achieve better fuel economy and will be available at a lower price point. Honestly, it all comes down to preference and personal taste. Nevertheless, thanks for commenting! If you have any more questions. Feel free to ask me. I am here to help! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥

Hi there, Melonie! The 2021 TrailBlazer was projected to go on sale in earlier this year (Spring of 2020). Therefore, you should already start to see some 2021 TrailBlazers trickling into your local Chevrolet dealership's inventory. As far as pricing goes, the 2021 model starts at around $20,000 (for a base L model), and tops out at about $28,000 (for a top-of-the-line RS model). Feel free to zoom to the 28:19 mark in this video for a detailed pricing breakdown. :) I hope this information helps. If you enjoyed this video, please like & subscribe. Thank you for stopping by! Let me know if you have any more questions. I am here to help, Melonie! *~DriveAndBeDriven* 🚘 _"The Quest To Record The Best!"_ 🎥
Unfortunately, the 2021 TrailBlazer doesn't offer a 3-row variation. It only comes in a 2-row 5-passenger variation. The only Chevrolets that offer 3-row seating are the Traverse, Tahoe, and the Suburban. But they are all well over $30k for well equipped models (like the one shown in this video). As far as inexpensive cars (under $25k) goes, these are sort of the only 3 new SUVs currently on the market that offer 3rd row seating: Model and approximate starting prices~ 1. Dodge Journey (approx. $23,500) 2. Mitsubishi Outlander (approx. $25k) 3. Volkswagen Tiguan (approx. $25k) Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Same here! The black accents definitely help make the front grille have a much larger appearance, and quite honestly makes it look more mature. I feel like over-usage of chrome can make cars seem too gaudy and "cheap" to a certain extent. All in all, I give Chevy lots of props for making this vehicle a head turner! Can't wait to review one outside of the showroom in the near future! STAY TUNED! :-) -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥

Yeah... I don't blame you, Mike.. This vehicle is definitely more on the smaller side when compared to your '09 model. It's catering to a different audience as opposed to the previous Trailblazer... Maybe the modern-dat Blazer would be more like your cup-of-tea? It's bigger and rated as a mid-size SUV, not a sub-compact. 😎 Thanks for leaving a comment! Hope you enjoyed the video.

Yes! You should! It is a surprisingly good offering in the sub-compact utility vehicle segment. It is light-years better than the current gen Trax in my opinion.

Hey there! Yes, it is rather interesting that Chevy is already labeling this as a 2021 model, but it sort of makes sense since it won't be released until later this season (Spring 2020)... Maybe Chevy just wants to come across as being the "newer" entry when consumers are out researching for their next sub-compact utility vehicle. Seeing 2021 definitely makes you look twice. Haha! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
I totally see where you are coming from! Having an electric model of the TrailBlazer would be pretty cool, but it would probably draw sales away from the Bolt.

Stay SUBSCRIBED for more videos coming soon! Thank you. -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
I totally agree with you, Rob. EV models are really cool, but Chevy would most likely boost this vehicle into the low to mid $30,000 range for an EV model (similar to the current prices of the Volt and Bolt). Honestly, it's a toss up. I think Chevy played the right card putting this out as a traditional gasoline variant first. I'm not sure how the current powertrain performs, but the numbers are class competitive. So we shall see. Hopefully Chevy loans me one to test drive soon. Thanks stopping by, Rob!

Very nice! Love your presentation! Thanks for this!
My pleasure! Thanks for leaving a comment! The 2021 TrailBlazer really impressed me. The sub-compact utility vehicle segment has a tiny, yet mighty competitor coming later this year!

if your engine was given 1 gallon of gas to idle for one minute with short fuel line next to intake , how much gas is left over.
I love the review of the new blazer will you be at the Detroit international auto show in june?
Thanks, Jerrroud! I feel sooo terrible for not replying to you sooner. Your comment literally flew right under the radar! Haha! 😅 My apologies.
As you might've already guessed, I didn't go to the NAIAS this year due to obvious reasons. I hope you and your family have been staying safe and are in good health.

The trailblazer is something you'd have to buy new , especially the turbo. People beat on turbo motors and by the time you get a used one it's gonna be a bigger piece of crap
A 3-Cylinder? Oh HELL NO!!!!
Hahaha! Yes. A 3-cylinder engine is available. When I test drive one, I'll report back to you. I'm sure it's not as bad as it may seem. 😅

2.0 turbo awd from the equinox?
Oh yes! A 2.0T with AWD would be a pretty generous powertrain for the TrailBlazer.
Currently, the most powerful version of the 2021 TrailerBlazer produces 155 horses and 177 lb-ft.
A 2.0T would surely push this sub-compact's horsepower and torque ratings well over the 200 mark. Putting it towards the top of the class in terms of power.
I highly doubt Chevy would do that anytime soon, but I'd imagine the 1.3T version to be adequate in its AWD varient.

@@DriveAndBeDriven I currently drive a 2018 equinox 2.0turbo.awd as a daily driver and a 2008 ltz 6.0 avalanche for my work truck. The equinox is surprisingly quick with the 9 speed turbo. I was sold on it as my grocery getter😄👍
Is the Trailblazer better than the Blazer?
Hey there, Von! I can't really say that one is better than the other because they compete in two different categories. If you want more space with a more powerful powertrain, the Blazer would make more sense for you (but it will be more expensive than the smaller TrailBlazer).
On the other hand, the Blazer is more compact, but will achieve better fuel economy and will be available at a lower price point. Honestly, it all comes down to preference and personal taste.
Nevertheless, thanks for commenting! If you have any more questions. Feel free to ask me. I am here to help!

How much? when do it go on sale
Hi there, Melonie! The 2021 TrailBlazer was projected to go on sale in earlier this year (Spring of 2020). Therefore, you should already start to see some 2021 TrailBlazers trickling into your local Chevrolet dealership's inventory.
As far as pricing goes, the 2021 model starts at around $20,000 (for a base L model), and tops out at about $28,000 (for a top-of-the-line RS model). Feel free to zoom to the 28:19 mark in this video for a detailed pricing breakdown. :)
I hope this information helps. If you enjoyed this video, please like & subscribe.

DriveAndBeDriven Thanks so much i also was wondering if 3rd row seating was available?
Unfortunately, the 2021 TrailBlazer doesn't offer a 3-row variation. It only comes in a 2-row 5-passenger variation.
The only Chevrolets that offer 3-row seating are the Traverse, Tahoe, and the Suburban. But they are all well over $30k for well equipped models (like the one shown in this video).
As far as inexpensive cars (under $25k) goes, these are sort of the only 3 new SUVs currently on the market that offer 3rd row seating:
Model and approximate starting prices~
1. Dodge Journey (approx. $23,500)
2. Mitsubishi Outlander (approx. $25k)
3. Volkswagen Tiguan (approx. $25k)
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions. I'm here to help you out, Melonie! :)

Kind of loving the black accents instead of the chrome!
Same here! The black accents definitely help make the front grille have a much larger appearance, and quite honestly makes it look more mature. I feel like over-usage of chrome can make cars seem too gaudy and "cheap" to a certain extent. All in all, I give Chevy lots of props for making this vehicle a head turner!
Can't wait to review one outside of the showroom in the near future! STAY TUNED! :-)

i will keep my o9
Yeah... I don't blame you, Mike.. This vehicle is definitely more on the smaller side when compared to your '09 model. It's catering to a different audience as opposed to the previous Trailblazer... Maybe the modern-dat Blazer would be more like your cup-of-tea? It's bigger and rated as a mid-size SUV, not a sub-compact. 😎
Thanks for leaving a comment! Hope you enjoyed the video. Take care, Mike!

Woo hoo! I am trying to talk my coworker into buying a new TrailBlazer.
Yes! You should! It is a surprisingly good offering in the sub-compact utility vehicle segment. It is light-years better than the current gen Trax in my opinion. Unless they have a huge incentive (and I mean a HUGE incentive on the Trax), I will take the TrailBlazer over it any day of the week.

I want one ❤ I gotta learn how to drive first
Hahaha! I sort of want one too. Chevy really hit the "charm-appeal" on the nose with this one... Something that I personally believe the Trax was lacking. Also, the price of the TrailBlazer is just right. Not to mention, it is spacious and it is super stylish!
A win-win-win in my book! Thanks so much for commenting! Hopefully, GM will invite me to an event to test drive the TrailBlazer, or hopefully, they send me one to test someday.

When they come out with more powerful engine choice I would think about buying one, but until then no thanks.
The 1.3 cyl is actually more powerful than Chevy's 1.4 4cyl and it's more powerful than some competitors 4 cyls
@@robburcham6289 The 1.5 4 cyl that they put in the Equinox would make a good option for the people that would want a bit more power. (170 hp and 205 lb-ft of torque)
Do the Buick version.

SUV now officially stands for "Soyboy Uncool Vehicle"
Why is this a 2021 and not a 2020
That's a good question. Hmmm...
Hey there! Yes, it is rather interesting that Chevy is already labeling this as a 2021 model, but it sort of makes sense since it won't be released until later this season (Spring 2020)...
Maybe Chevy just wants to come across as being the "newer" entry when consumers are out researching for their next sub-compact utility vehicle. Seeing 2021 definitely makes you look twice. Haha!

Love the new Trailblazer but this should had been electric
I totally see where you are coming from! Having an electric model of the TrailBlazer would be pretty cool, but it would probably draw sales away from the Bolt. Maybe the TrailBlazer would do better if it has a Hybrid variant. What do you think?

I love EVs but this would have been 10k higher as an EV
I totally agree with you, Rob. EV models are really cool, but Chevy would most likely boost this vehicle into the low to mid $30,000 range for an EV model (similar to the current prices of the Volt and Bolt). Honestly, it's a toss up.
I think Chevy played the right card putting this out as a traditional gasoline variant first. I'm not sure how the current powertrain performs, but the numbers are class competitive. So we shall see. Hopefully Chevy loans me one to test drive soon.
Thanks stopping by, Rob! Let me know if you have any questions at all. Take care, sir.
