Test drove a 2023 trailblazer RS AWD in summit white absolutely loved it! That little 1.3 gets up and goes essentially out on the highway great job chevy
I picked up a '21 black & white in April. 13k miles so far; overall highway and city type driving an average of just under 29 mpg. Very impressed with the Korean build quality. Vehicle handles and drives very well. The 1.3 gets the job done, and no complaints with the CVT; power seems linear and that's a good thing. Braking very impressive; reminds me of my old 5 series. Neoprene seats are firm and comfortable. This vehicle recently got the IIHS highest rating, and that's rare for a GM vehicle. Only gripe is the horn; it sounds as if it came from an '87 Pontiac Sunbird.
Mines is driving good to.. I got 2000 miles on mines.I got the crimson metallic color
Just purchased a 2022. Thanks for that overview, although I've had mine for a week now. I think I made a solid choice.
I really like the look of it and with a little 3 cyl. it probably is a great little suv to drive around...good job on that model Chevy!
Dude, I've been planning to get the RS soon. It is a really cool mini suv!!
It looks great. Trying to get this for my mother. I keep hearing the 1.3L lacks in power but I doubt she needs it.
You missed that it has a autostick. You have to put it in low gear and the +/- are by your thumb handle on the side of the shifter. I missed it as well after I bought mine.
I just bought a 22 model Activ. It's completely loaded. Leather seats and everything. I paid a little over 31k for mine.
“that’s where the spare tire lives it’s life” 😂😂😂 i LOVE that!
The placement of the vents are better.
I just bought a 2022 Trailblazer LT for my wife. Awesome little vehicle!
That's what I want.
Cool video bro
I got my 2022 trailblazer rs crimson metallic and I love it
Do you have any issues with it? Thinking of getting this
Wow....this video just saved me 50k....I live in Las vegas and was told the msrp is 48k and was going to buy one tomorrow that it's arriving in 3 weeks. Shaddy sales people. I get the pandemic has brought prices up but the salesman told me his dealership doesn't increase the msrp. Lol what a scam
Are you sure they weren’t talking about a blazer RS? Because there is a Trailblazer RS and a Blazer RS.
Mine was 26k
They were 100% referring to the BLAZER
Rushed it but covered everything well :)
I just picked up a Black on Black 2022 Trailblazer RS. Really impressed. Definitely prefer the RS over the Active. I thought mine was loaded at 27055.... Can't even imagine what more yours has on it at over 32k, than the RS I bought?
Would you recommend the RS over the LT??
@@B77548 my opinion on the trailblazer is still being formed. I do think the RS adds some worthy styling and upgrades over the LT. The design is great, so is the economy. My issue with the Trailblazer overall is build quality. Some fit and finish concerns, like trim pieces not being properly fastened, paint swirls, interior plastics feeling cheap (even on an RS) along with a couple of defects such as cruise control stopped working after a month. Wireless charging plate under dash never worked.
@@roaddogg800 that's good to know, as I was thinking of switching over from Toyota. Might reconsider.
says this comments a year old. You still love it? I'm looking at one but after almost getting hit and killed so many times in my Crosstrek with its sluggish CVT and low horsies, which this Trailblazer also has, I'm kinda scared...
@@MollyMcBooter I actually hated the trailblazer. Very cheap materials and poor build quality in my opinion. I switched my lease for a 2022 Chevy Malibu which to me is a far superior solid vehicle
Hyundai Kona N line or Chevy trailblazer RS, which one has the better AWD system?
I just did the paperwork on a black 2022 RS. I think the MSRP was 27-28. I wonder why yours is higher.
Because this one is fully upgraded and also has the sunroof package and technology package. 27-28 is base model RS
Nice video! I'm so sorry, but would it be too rude to ask what your height is? I'm only asking to get an idea of the backseat legroom.
Is there no vents for the rear passengers? I had a 2017 Sierra Denali with no vents in the rear which I didn’t notice until the summer and passengers in the back.
This vehicle is a lot smaller than a sierra i doubt you need back vents
Prefer the 9 speed automatic over the cvt it seems much more peppy.
32000 plus you have to pay the dealership extra 2000 to get it delivered.
Nice little suv but needs a 4 cylinder engine because a 3 cylinder is a recipe for disaster, vibration etc, great review Ben
Your opinion based on how many 3 cyl's have you owned long term and have data about? The little 4 cylinders are pretty bad.
You should give this little 3-cyl a chance. I have a 2013 Buick Encore with the outgoing 1.4L LUV Turbo engine and after test driving a Trailblazer, the 1.4L absolutely sucks. The 1.3L has noticeably more power, less vibrations, less noise, and way better MPG. My Encore averages 26 mpg but the Trailblazer was averaging near 40 mpg.
@@marco.morel04 does it have a lot of get-up-and-go acceleration? I have a 2021 honda civic hatchback sport that I'm looking to trade in maybe for the trailblazer. The trailblazer or either the Toyota Corolla Cross!
@@Tarasaurus13 As someone who is a toyota fan, I would not recommend the corolla cross. It is SERIOUSLY under-powered.
@@jafaarjafaar oh yes I noticed that when I test drove it. I went with the kia seltos sx turbo 👀
I do worry about anything that has a turbo. Always issues down the road..
So is it better than the Activ or not?
Really liked your review on the RS. ANY chance you could review a LS FWD or AWD. THANKS 😊
The LS is ok but missing a TON of features. Doesn’t even have cruise control
Can you flat tow, all 4 wheels down behind a motorhome?
Had no idea chevy still made this
Does the New Blazer come with any other engine options?
Yes
How is fuel consumption ?
How do you think this would handle during Chicago winters?
Great question!!!
I had a trailblazer during a Chicago winter and it wasn’t bad.
@@Darknesssleeps do you have awd or fwd?
@@rinamarie75 FWD. I wanted AWD but they were hard to find
Ben Hardy, Trailblazer or Hyundai Kona. Which would you choose?
Trailblazer is much larger kona is much sportier.
How u put sports mode on
I wish they would’ve upgraded to the all digital dash on the 2023
That 32k is that usd or cad?
Would have also offered the 2.0 litre turbo 9 speed automatic as a alternative option??.in this vehicle 🚑🚜? . 😲 Wow? Could be a massive winner.? In it's class 😉.?
Then it might flip over from too much power! 😝
What is ur subaru?
I would like too c a big motor
Ben what's your height?
Is the rs better then the activ?
Did I miss it? Which is a better ride, the RS or the activ?
Didn’t even say
My 2004 chevy Trailblazer finally packed it in, not a fan of the new one at all. No 4x4 push button low/high, no push button regular low/high, chevy really went backwards when they came up with this one. It drove well, highway and city, plus it had the power I needed when I needed it. Not a fan of this new Trailblazer.
I have a 2004 trailblazer
Do these offer wireless charging?
5:10
Me gusta mucho este carro quiero una
Super disappointed you didn't actually compare it to the Activ. I feel click baited lol
Do these offer blind spot monitoring? I ‘m kind of spoiled. lol
Yes
Charging more and getting less. That's what car manufacturer's have been doing in the past 7 years. Paying more money for less sucks.
One day I'd love to upgrade but thats impossible for me (sigh) sad sad world
That 1.3 inline 3 I don’t like it is bit tiny
I am looking for someone who can give me an answer to my question ! The Chevy Trailblazer (crossovers) is currently being built and manufactured in Incheon, South Korea, and Shanghai, China, 97% of the vehicle !! With only 3% US/Canadian product ! How is it that a vehicle can be badged with an American bowtie that has virtually "0" American labor and or product behind it ? Sadly no one will probably agree with me because there seems to be no American pride anymore 😞.
These manufacturers need to put teal full leather for what the price is. The consumer is so played and taken advantage of with every vehicke out their. Too small. I'd offer 15 grand at best.
India 🇮🇳 launch to compete Maruti Vitara Brezza ?
Your review was going so well I thought I might even subscribe. Then I saw you had the climate set to 83... I don't subscribe to lizard people. Who sets their climate to 83?
Agreed 🤣
He looks like a major weirdo
in my beemer 84 mean it gets to vent the the total engine heat through the mofo vents🤣
So IS it better than the Active trim???
Didn’t even say
Id better own a 2.8 Duramax diesel trailblazer
🤨
Speeding!!
Kia seltos????
PLEASE SANTA CLAUS, PLEASE 🥺
Hands on the wheel please
Toyota Rav4 best!!!
You’re going way too fast. How many cups of espresso did you have before you filmed
See the USA in your Chevrolet.
You must be an old fart !!
The 2021 Trailblazer is wimpy an weak compared to the 2002 to 2009 Trailblazer
Small size 😭
Good review but you make it sound the size of a smart car. Obviously it’s a big deal to you as you repeatedly brought it up. Not cool
Looks like very little leg room in the back. He had to slide his feet under the front seat in order to get in. 👎🏻
LS AWD AFTER TAX UNDER $26K SAME ENGINE SAME TRANSMISSION SAME MPG AND CLEANER LOOKING RIMS IMHO LS AWD ALL DAY INC TAX W ALL WEATHER FLOOR LINERS UNDER $26K
Piece of shit 3 cylinder engine. What a joke.
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluf
Go away!
MY GOSH DUDE SLOW DOWN ON YOUR TALKING A 100 MPH. ARE YOU ON SPEED OR COCAINE??? WOW-! YAPPITY YAPPITY YACK WHY DONT YOU???
I've owned only Chevy's for the last 30+ years and never any customer service issues and in fact very few issues with any Chevy's I've owned. Completely disagree with your assessment of GM.
Utter gibberish. GM is now run by engineers and the company produces top-flight products in all segments.
I know Israel's Customer Service SUCKS. You will wait 5-10mins before they answer the Call. Sometimes they don't follow-up. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE ON EARTH.
You speak too fast and are hard to understand
