2021 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FIRST IMPRESSIONS; BEST USED CARS FOR TEENS UNDER $20,000

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer is described as a "boring" but functional small SUV that fills a niche between Chevy's Trax and Equinox. While it offers a decent amount of interior room for its size and serves as a capable "runabout" car, its driving dynamics are unremarkable, with vague steering and a powertrain that elicits criticism for sounding unrefined and buzzy. Visibility, particularly over the right shoulder, is a significant drawback due to the C-pillar and headrest design, making it challenging in tight urban environments. Despite its modern safety features, the overall impression is one of mediocrity, especially considering its $25,000+ price point, leading the reviewers to suggest that a used car might offer better value. The LT trim with the optional convenience package was tested, featuring a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission with AWD.
