The 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer will be a carryover model with new shades of exterior colors at a starting price of $22,795.
The 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer comes as a carry-over model with the same 4-trim lineup of the LS, LT, Activ, and RS at a base MSRP of $22,795. Humbled by its two ECOTEC powertrains of 137 hp and 155 hp, this 5-seater SUV stays practical with its peak range of over 400 miles.
With a cargo space of up to 54.4 cu-ft, the Chevy Trailblazer stands as one of the most capacious compact SUVs in the market. Moreover, it has been released for sale up against the dash of Hyundai Kona, Mazda CX-30, and Kia Seltos in new exterior colors including Crimson Metallic with a destination fee of $1,195.
The Activ trim with its AWD layout of the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer is easily the pick among all. This specific configuration is a mix of both cheerful on-road driving and rugged off-roading. The ambiance on the inside can be considered far better than its younger siblings too. All these in conjunction with a sound safety suite make up the case of the Activ trim a compelling one.

"The Chevrolet Trailblazer has several good qualities, including its interior space, its high-tech features, and its attractive design." - True Car
The 2022 Chevy Trailblazer is a 4-trim SUV that costs $22,795 for its base LS configuration. This trim receives in-built Chevy Safety Assist and Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system as standard features. The LT edition asks for a slightly higher price of $24,995 for which it further adds a 10-way power driver seat with power lumbar and cruise control over the LS.

The Activ trim with its AWD layout of the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer is easily the pick among all. This specific configuration is a mix of both cheerful on-road driving and rugged off-roading. The ambiance on the inside can be considered far better than its younger siblings too. All these in conjunction with a sound safety suite make up the case of the Activ trim a compelling one.
"The Trailblazer's snazzy styling, spacious cabin, and nimbleness are hampered by sluggish powertrains." - Car And Driver
The 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer blazes 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque with its 1.2L Turbo I-3 ECOTEC engine. This engine comes hitched with a CVT in FWD layout as a standard configuration for the LS and LT trims. Alongside that, there is a 1.3L Turbo I-3 as well that ponies 155 hp and 174 lb-ft torque but can be availed of as an inherent beast only for the Activ and RS editions.
Though FWD is the base platform for the Chevy Trailblazer, AWD finds its realm too at an extra $2,000 for the LS and LT and an additional $1,500 for the Activ and RS. This also brings in a 9-speed automatic transmission in power delivery replacing that CVT. Meanwhile, the Activ cruises on its off-road suspension that allows it to be more nimble even on gravels resulting in supremacy over other siblings.
The Trailblazer has no official 0-60 MPH timing for its smaller ECOTEC engine but one might accelerate to 60 MPH from standstill within 9.4 seconds when the 1.3L Turbo I-3 beats. Not just that, a top speed of up to 130 MPH is certain on your dashboard with that engine. Considering the braking efficiency, its 11.8-inch front and 10.4-inch rear disc brakes halt it in less than 174 ft from 70-0 MPH irrespective of the trim.

Costing almost the same, the Mazda CX-30 bashes 49 hp higher power and 24 lb-ft more torque than the Chevy Trailblazer. This allows the CX-30 to be quicker than the Trailblazer on the straights while 0-60 MPH by more than 1.8 seconds. On the other hand, both Hyundai Kona and Kia Seltos have been designed with 30 lb-ft lower torque that gives hauling band in the hands of Chevrolet.
"The 2022 Chevy Trailblazer isn't as thrifty as its little engines would suggest." - The Car Connection
The 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer offers a combined fuel economy of 30 MPG in its FWD layout that reduces by 2 MPG in the AWD platform. And it averages a 396-mile range with its fully filled 13.2- gallon fuel tank and can travel as much as 409 miles in its single breathe.

Being 4 MPG more fuel efficient overall and with a 0.5-gallon fuel tank, the Chevy Trailblazer has got 66 miles more than the CX-30. This, however, reduces to just 27 miles against the Hyundai Kona and 40 miles against the Seltos due to their 2 MPG and 3 MPG lower mileages respectively.
"The Trailblazer has a comfortable ride for a small SUV." - Edmunds
The interior of the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer brags an aura of Medium Ash Grey/Jet Black clothed seating in the LS and LT. The tone further flavors to either Jet Black/Almond Butter or Jet Black with Arizona accents leather upholstery inside the Activ configuration. Also, a heated steering wheel gets innate for the top rankers, Activ and RS.
The Chevrolet Trailblazer is simply a character with different complexions as the vibes get dense when optional extension such as Convenience Package at $520 is called upon. As the integration of automatic climate control and cabin humidity sensor become the commoner for that extra penny with a constant cargo capacity of 25.3-54.4 cu-ft.

Coming to the number highlights a cargo volume that is 6.1 cu-ft more inside the Trailblazer than the Kona with 4-inch better rear legroom. The cargo deficit and 2nd row legroom, both reduce by 1 cu-ft and 1-inch respectively when the same Trailblazer is pitted against the CX-30. Meanwhile, keeping the settings configurable arrives the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system.
It sets up a 7-inch diagonal color touchscreen right in the center of the dashboard with a 6-speaker audio system. The wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also part of this 5-seater compact SUV. However, with the Technology Package costing $ 1,620 things flaunt as Bose Premium Audio, 8-inch HD touchscreen and other stuffs knock the space.
"The subcompact Chevy Trailblazer boasts handsome looks." - Motor Trend
Inviting the shades of all-new Blue Glow Metallic, Vivid Orange Metallic and 6 other accents as per trim specifics, the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer glitters in a profound manner. Those pointed halogen headlamps with InteliBeam and auto on/off feature compounds its expression and the Signature LEDs further intensify that.
Drifting on the 17-inch and 18-inch alloy wheels, the Chevy Trailblazer hugs sport terrain tires in its Activ configuration. It even boasts an active shutter grille on the front throughout the lineup but the panoramic power moonroof is made to be optional from LT onwards.

Based on the comparison, the Trailblazer owns a 0.8-inch higher ground clearance than the Hyundai Kona which assists the former in going off-road. The CX-30, simultaneously, is 3.5-inch taller than Trailblazer with 0.5-inch better ground clearance, thereby, making it even more of an off-roader than its Chevrolet counterpart.
"Unlike many other Chevy models only offering safety/driver-assist technologies on upper trim levels, the Trailblazer has a few baked in as standard equipment." - AutoTrader
The 2022 Chevy Trailblazer scores an impressive 5-star NHTSA and a "Good" IIHS safety rating in crash tests while being inducted for the "Top Safety Pick+" category. It even hosts a range of safety features in its Chevy Safety Assist that further concretes its build stature. Some of the safety assets have been mentioned below:
Both the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer and the 2022 Hyundai Kona are among the top charters of the space. But the Chevy inculcates better seating spaciousness throughout the row with better cargo capacity inside the Trailblazer than the Hyundai Kona. As far as pulling strength is concerned, the Trailblazer has got the edge over there as well without losing its grip on its superior range coverage.
Overwhelming the practicality of the 2022 Mazda CX-30 with its higher range reach and roomier cabin, the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer seems to be a potent SUV on offer. Its structural integrity and added safety values are also there to enhance its overall stance. However, the Chevy struggles with its Trailblazer against the CX-30 when it is a matter of sheer power curve. All in all, both can be equally desirable as per the owner's inclination.
Though parallel in terms of seating stretch, the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer goes on to outclass the likes of the 2022 Kia Seltos with its hauling prowess orientation. The fuel economy for this 5-seater and relative range figures are also well ahead of the Seltos capabilities. Therefore, Cheyv offers a better proposition with its Trailblazer that Seltos lacks majorly.
Engineered to be a balance of all, be it either seating roominess or safety gears or range milestone, the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer comes out to be a worthy investment. Its trim levels with varied assets tagged to them also serve for a huge customer base within reasonable pricing. Though it has a slightly lower side on its powertrain push but apart from that, there is hardly any void in its holistic outlook.
