Later this month when the Shanghai auto show kicks
off with a bang, many various supercars and electric cars will be featured, but
only a few will likely make their way to the States. A blog update published
this week on Motortrend.com claims that this is where the new
Chevy Trailblazer, as well as Trax, will be revealed. You can see in the images
provided here that it could be a smaller, more off-road ready
CUV that slots right under the Blazer. There was also news heard from the Detroit Auto show in January that Chevy plans
to bring the Trailblazer back, in the likes of a small crossover that will slot
between the Equinox and the Trax.
One particularly eye-catching sketch shown here of a small Chevy SUV was part of a presentation by
GM execs to investors in New York last year, which coincided a bit with sources
telling Motor Trend that there is indeed a small crossover coming
to the Chevy lineup that could resurrect the Trailblazer name. Even if this
model being unveiled soon is not too much bigger than the subcompact Trax, it
could also turn out being a more upscale model within the same size bracket.
It has definitely been exciting for all of us here
at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse
to witness the revitalization of the Blazer, and the Trailblazer would absolutely be a very timely
and capable release to have on deck in addition. In the instance of the Blazer,
GM began work years ago on a midsize crossover to fit snugly between the Equinox and Traverse. Many die-hard Blazer fans have given us a bit of a
hard time since the new model differs in size and is not currently a
body-on-frame variant, but we are steadfast and strong in our belief that it is
still going to be an epic and wildly popular vehicle choice for 2019!
The potential rendition of the Trailblazer would
not have anything in common with the original, which was in essence a very
upscale trim line of the K5 Blazer. It was available from 1999 until 2001, when
it became its own model as a midsize SUV. A second generation of the
Trailblazer, which was using the Colorado truck frame, was launched for 2012,
and never introduced in the US. There are many choices within the crossover SUV
genre as of late, and some out there may not understand all the various shapes
and sizes now in existence while mulling over options. We'll keep you posted on
anything we hear regarding this and any other releases and are anxious to help
you test drive and find the perfect car or SUV for your needs here in the
Mid-Missouri heartland.
