I picked up a '21 black & white in April. 13k miles so far; overall highway and city type driving an average of just under 29 mpg. Very impressed with the Korean build quality. Vehicle handles and drives very well. The 1.3 gets the job done, and no complaints with the CVT; power seems linear and that's a good thing. Braking very impressive; reminds me of my old 5 series. Neoprene seats are firm and comfortable. This vehicle recently got the IIHS highest rating, and that's rare for a GM vehicle. Only gripe is the horn; it sounds as if it came from an '87 Pontiac Sunbird.
Test drove a 2023 trailblazer RS AWD in summit white absolutely loved it! That little 1.3 gets up and goes essentially out on the highway great job chevy
I just picked up a Black on Black 2022 Trailblazer RS. Really impressed. Definitely prefer the RS over the Active. I thought mine was loaded at 27055.... Can't even imagine what more yours has on it at over 32k, than the RS I bought?
@@B77548 my opinion on the trailblazer is still being formed. I do think the RS adds some worthy styling and upgrades over the LT. The design is great, so is the economy. My issue with the Trailblazer overall is build quality. Some fit and finish concerns, like trim pieces not being properly fastened, paint swirls, interior plastics feeling cheap (even on an RS) along with a couple of defects such as cruise control stopped working after a month. Wireless charging plate under dash never worked.
says this comments a year old. You still love it? I'm looking at one but after almost getting hit and killed so many times in my Crosstrek with its sluggish CVT and low horsies, which this Trailblazer also has, I'm kinda scared...
@@MollyMcBooter I actually hated the trailblazer. Very cheap materials and poor build quality in my opinion. I switched my lease for a 2022 Chevy Malibu which to me is a far superior solid vehicle
Wow....this video just saved me 50k....I live in Las vegas and was told the msrp is 48k and was going to buy one tomorrow that it's arriving in 3 weeks. Shaddy sales people. I get the pandemic has brought prices up but the salesman told me his dealership doesn't increase the msrp. Lol what a scam
You missed that it has a autostick. You have to put it in low gear and the +/- are by your thumb handle on the side of the shifter. I missed it as well after I bought mine.
You should give this little 3-cyl a chance. I have a 2013 Buick Encore with the outgoing 1.4L LUV Turbo engine and after test driving a Trailblazer, the 1.4L absolutely sucks. The 1.3L has noticeably more power, less vibrations, less noise, and way better MPG. My Encore averages 26 mpg but the Trailblazer was averaging near 40 mpg.
@@marco.morel04 does it have a lot of get-up-and-go acceleration? I have a 2021 honda civic hatchback sport that I'm looking to trade in maybe for the trailblazer. The trailblazer or either the Toyota Corolla Cross!
My 2004 chevy Trailblazer finally packed it in, not a fan of the new one at all. No 4x4 push button low/high, no push button regular low/high, chevy really went backwards when they came up with this one. It drove well, highway and city, plus it had the power I needed when I needed it. Not a fan of this new Trailblazer.
Would have also offered the 2.0 litre turbo 9 speed automatic as a alternative option??.in this vehicle 🚑🚜? . 😲 Wow? Could be a massive winner.? In it's class 😉.?
These manufacturers need to put teal full leather for what the price is. The consumer is so played and taken advantage of with every vehicke out their. Too small. I'd offer 15 grand at best.
Your review was going so well I thought I might even subscribe. Then I saw you had the climate set to 83... I don't subscribe to lizard people. Who sets their climate to 83?
I am looking for someone who can give me an answer to my question ! The Chevy Trailblazer (crossovers) is currently being built and manufactured in Incheon, South Korea, and Shanghai, China, 97% of the vehicle !! With only 3% US/Canadian product ! How is it that a vehicle can be badged with an American bowtie that has virtually "0" American labor and or product behind it ? Sadly no one will probably agree with me because there seems to be no American pride anymore 😞.
@@scottgilbert3286 No, I have known all my life that the "American" auto industry has always had a percentage of foreign parts. But to have a vehicle (many that I have found now) built overseas with no American muscle saddens me. Thinking about this country's financial future. Every person that doesn't work and pay in to, for example, social security means that the level going out will soon exceed the level coming in ! Unlike the majority of US citizens today, I do worry about how our great nation will sustain with the majority of labor sent to other countries ! Just saying ...
@@bobby5875for what it’s worth, my current car is a 2012 Chevy Sonic that was at least assembled in Michigan and that was a big part of why I bought it. Unfortunately in my search to replace it, there’s nothing comparable.
Is there no vents for the rear passengers? I had a 2017 Sierra Denali with no vents in the rear which I didn’t notice until the summer and passengers in the back.

Just purchased a 2022. Thanks for that overview, although I've had mine for a week now. I think I made a solid choice.
I just bought a 22 model Activ. It's completely loaded. Leather seats and everything. I paid a little over 31k for mine.

Are you sure they weren’t talking about a blazer RS? Because there is a Trailblazer RS and a Blazer RS.
Mine was 26k
They were 100% referring to the BLAZER
I just bought a 2022 Trailblazer LT for my wife. Awesome little vehicle!
That's what I want.
It looks great. Trying to get this for my mother. I keep hearing the 1.3L lacks in power but I doubt she needs it.
So is it better than the Activ or not?
Dude, I've been planning to get the RS soon. It is a really cool mini suv!!
“that’s where the spare tire lives it’s life” 😂😂😂 i LOVE that!
The placement of the vents are better.
I got my 2022 trailblazer rs crimson metallic and I love it
Do you have any issues with it? Thinking of getting this
I really like the look of it and with a little 3 cyl. it probably is a great little suv to drive around...good job on that model Chevy!
You missed that it has a autostick.
You have to put it in low gear and the +/- are by your thumb handle on the side of the shifter. I missed it as well after I bought mine.
Nice little suv but needs a 4 cylinder engine because a 3 cylinder is a recipe for disaster, vibration etc, great review Ben
Your opinion based on how many 3 cyl's have you owned long term and have data about? The little 4 cylinders are pretty bad.

@@jafaarjafaar oh yes I noticed that when I test drove it. I went with the kia seltos sx turbo 👀
Did I miss it? Which is a better ride, the RS or the activ?
Didn’t even say
Prefer the 9 speed automatic over the cvt it seems much more peppy.
How do you think this would handle during Chicago winters?
Great question!!!
I had a trailblazer during a Chicago winter and it wasn’t bad.
@@Darknesssleeps do you have awd or fwd?
@@rinamarie75 FWD. I wanted AWD but they were hard to find
Charging more and getting less. That's what car manufacturer's have been doing in the past 7 years. Paying more money for less sucks.
I do worry about anything that has a turbo. Always issues down the road..

Rushed it but covered everything well :)
32000 plus you have to pay the dealership extra 2000 to get it delivered.
I just did the paperwork on a black 2022 RS. I think the MSRP was 27-28. I wonder why yours is higher.
Because this one is fully upgraded and also has the sunroof package and technology package. 27-28 is base model RS
Super disappointed you didn't actually compare it to the Activ. I feel click baited lol
Had no idea chevy still made this
Would have also offered the 2.0 litre turbo 9 speed automatic as a alternative option??.in this vehicle 🚑🚜? . 😲 Wow? Could be a massive winner.? In it's class 😉.?
Then it might flip over from too much power! 😝

I wish they would’ve upgraded to the all digital dash on the 2023

in my beemer 84 mean it gets to vent the the total engine heat through the mofo vents🤣
Really liked your review on the RS. ANY chance you could review a LS FWD or AWD. THANKS 😊
The LS is ok but missing a TON of features. Doesn’t even have cruise control
Id better own a 2.8 Duramax diesel trailblazer
🤨
Ben Hardy, Trailblazer or Hyundai Kona. Which would you choose?
Trailblazer is much larger kona is much sportier.
I would like too c a big motor
So IS it better than the Active trim???
Didn’t even say
Hyundai Kona N line or Chevy trailblazer RS, which one has the better AWD system?
Does the New Blazer come with any other engine options?
Yes
Do these offer wireless charging?

Nice video! I'm so sorry, but would it be too rude to ask what your height is? I'm only asking to get an idea of the backseat legroom.

Can you flat tow, all 4 wheels down behind a motorhome?
You’re going way too fast. How many cups of espresso did you have before you filmed
Is there no vents for the rear passengers? I had a 2017 Sierra Denali with no vents in the rear which I didn’t notice until the summer and passengers in the back.
This vehicle is a lot smaller than a sierra i doubt you need back vents
Is the rs better then the activ?
How is fuel consumption ?
Ben what's your height?
Speeding!!
What is ur subaru?
How u put sports mode on
Do these offer blind spot monitoring? I ‘m kind of spoiled. lol

Good review but you make it sound the size of a smart car. Obviously it’s a big deal to you as you repeatedly brought it up. Not cool
Hands on the wheel please
See the USA in your Chevrolet.
You must be an old fart !!
The 2021 Trailblazer is wimpy an weak compared to the 2002 to 2009 Trailblazer
