Crossover SUVs make up a very large percentage of new vehicles driven happily off the lot here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse! Their capability, great looks, and constant upgrades to keep up with the competition have made for excellent additions to any family’s driving regimen. The deadline-minded and busy staff of the GM Authority blog had a great feature this week on the 2025 Trailblazer’s new EBS-compatible engine and other updates.
The Trailblazer offers the LS, LT RS, and Activ trims, with front-wheel drive as standard across the line, and 4-wheel drive available as an option. There’s an excellent selection of extra equipment to choose from, with features such as an available Panoramic Sunroof to fully enjoy the many fine elements of the coming spring season! The Cold Weather Package was new for the 2024 model year, bringing along a heated steering wheel, heated driver and front passenger seats, a wrapped steering wheel, and wrapped shift knob.
There are now 8 exterior paint colors, with Pearl Tricoat, Marina Blue Metallic, and Nitro Yellow Metallic standing out as vibrant and diverse choices. Under the hood resides the turbocharged 1.2-liter I3 LBP engine, cranking out 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. The Driver Confidence Package still offers the watchful and protective high-tech eyes of Lane Change Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Park Assist.
A few other very appealing dealer options are the durable All-Weather Floor liners and mats, offering up the ability to weather a bit of sand-or-mud-inflicted wear and tear. The Truecar.com auto review staff eagerly praised the 2025 Trailblazer for “being one of the sharpest-dressed SUVS on the road”, with excellent fuel economy and abundant passenger space. Verified user reviews are some of the most genuine and real-world means of seeing just how a model’s performance attributes truly measure up.
In the Truecar.com digital review log, a driver who had lived with the 2024 Trailblazer for the past year enthusiastically claimed that she “loved the style, the seats are excellent, and (she) had received many compliments on the outside color and wheels.” The two-tone aesthetic of the exterior color scheme was received quite well last year, along with the placid simplicity of the digital instrumentation.
Another satisfied Trailblazer owner remarked that the roomy interior and great features of the LT Model kept him constantly sold on his choice, along with zippy acceleration and an ideal amount of space. The look and feel of the dash and leather was also a very welcoming place for this satisfied buyer to spend time, as they were commuting about 40 miles each way to work instead of the half-as-much national average. Another driver in Detroit who was thrilled with her choice referred to the main screen display as the coolest and most efficient of any vehicle she had ever owned!
The Kia Sorento, Ford Edge, and Honda Passport all encounter an amazingly hefty dose of competition from the Trailblazer, which is situated in a position to remain the most sought-after budget crossover out there. The rear legroom proved to be excellent during their hour-long drive, and they also loved the programmable hands-free power liftgate. With styling that’s very easy on the eyes and a large dose of athleticism, the 2025 Trailblazer will surely turn many budget-savvy and tech-loving heads.
