As buying trends ebb and flow here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse, the models with the most practical appeal always stand out strongly. The 2024 Chevy Trailblazer was the topic of discussion on the U.S News car blog last week, as its recent facelift adds new safety and technology options, fresh colors, and a captivating new exterior styling. One of the features that are aligned perfectly with current demand is the larger 11-inch diagonal center display, along with an 8-inch diagonal driver information center.
Just for starters, this addition is standard across all trims, which is quite an improvement over the 7-inch screens residing in earlier models. This bigger screen also features the Chevy Infotainment System, allowing for handy over-the-air software updates, built-in Google compatibility, Google Assistant, and the ever-useful Amazon Alexa. Apple services are also available in the 2024 infotainment system, which offers Siri’s assistance as well as Apple Music. The 2024 Trailblazers also provide the benefit of a Wi-Fi hotspot if you already have an active AT&T data plan, and the LT, ACTIV, and RS trims boast wireless charging.
The watchful high-tech eyes of Chevy Safety Assist are standard on all trims, and include automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, and lane assist with lane departure warning systems. You’ll also be cruising with full-on confidence courtesy of following distance indicator, forward collision alert system, and adaptive cruise control. It’s not just an “everyday and usual occurrence” when new colors are added to the mix, as this is an opportunity to make your Chevy stand out supremely. The 2024 Trailblazer adds Cacti Green, Copper Harbor Metallic, and Jet Black with an exterior Artemis accent.
We know that it adds to the already foot-tapping excitement factor when there are new features to check out during the test drive, and the 2024 Trailblazer doesn’t disappoint! There is a new front fascia, trim-specific grille and lighting designs, standard push-button start, standard cruise control, and a higher definition rear camera now standard. The Motor Trend review team praised this year’s Trailblazer model for its ample cargo space and roomy second row, along with its 29/31 mpg city/highway fuel economy factor.
The RS Trim extends a healthy nod of appreciation towards all things aggressive and sporty that came from decades of creating America’s favorite cars! It offers up black-out exterior trim, a modified mesh grille, chrome dual exhaust tips, and flashy 19-inch wheels. The Activ model is the one that confidently boosts your trail-conquering abilities, with sport-terrain tires and off-road-tuned suspension. Safety ratings are one of the most important qualities as consumers choose between many options, and the Trailblazer’s 2023 model received a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA.
Standard equipment also includes one USB-A port, one USB-C port, and a four-speaker audio system. You can double down on the sound experience with a premium Bose seven-speaker setup, with most everything in the engine bay remaining the same and powered by the turbocharged 1.2-liter 3-cylinder. A few extra additions of previously optional equipment will also now be included on all models, including push-button start, cruise control, and a high-def backup camera.
