If you’ve been shopping for a small SUV that punches above its weight, you should be checking out the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer. With four available trims, a fresh new color, and a long list of standard features, it’s a compelling option for drivers who want style, technology, and versatility without stepping into a larger vehicle.

Four Trims, One Great Small SUV

The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer is offered in four distinct trims: LS, LT, ACTIV, and RS. Each one builds on the last, so you can choose a level of features that fits your lifestyle and budget. 
 
The entry-level LS comes standard with a 17-in silver-painted aluminum wheels, an 11-in HD color touchscreen, and a fold-flat front passenger seat that allows up to 8.5 feet of maximum cargo length. The LT adds keyless open and start, a remote vehicle starter system, and silver-painted roof rails. The ACTIV trim steps things up further with off-road suspension tuning and a functional skid plate. At the top of the lineup, the RS brings 19-in high-gloss Black machined-aluminum wheels, a heated flat-bottom steering wheel, and sporty Red interior accents.

New Trailblazer Features for 2026

One of the new Trailblazer features this year is the addition of Apex Red as a brand-new exterior color option. It’s a bold choice that suits the sportier RS and ACTIV trims especially well. 
 
Another notable update is the availability of the Midnight Edition package on the LT trim. It includes high-gloss Black mirror caps, a Black grille bar, Black bowties and badging, and 18-in all-Black wheels – giving the LT a more aggressive look without moving up in trim level. 

Technology That Keeps You Connected

Inside the cabin, the 2026Trailblazer offers a standard 11-in HD color touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility. You don’t need a cable – just connect and go. 
 
Standard push-button start and an available wireless charging pad add everyday convenience. For those who love music, an available Bose® audio system delivers a premium listening experience. The standard 8-in Driver Information Center screen rounds out a well-organized and intuitive interior tech package.

Capable When You Need It

The ACTIV and RS trims both come equipped with the ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo 3-cylinder engine, which produces 155 hp and up to 174 lb.ft. of torque. Available all-wheel drive and three available drive modes give you added confidence on varied road conditions. The standard 1.2L Turbo 3-cylinder engine provides 137 hp and 162 lb.ft. of torque, which is well-suited for everyday commuting and city driving.

Safety You Can Count On

Every 2026 Trailblazer comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a six-feature suite that includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, IntelliBeam® auto high-beam assist, and a Following Distance Indicator. Standard 10 air bags and an HD Rear Vision Camera are also included across all trims. Available features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Park Assist offer even more peace of mind.
