The release of the first mid-size SUV Trailblazer 2013-2014 was launched at the GM plant in Thailand. In March of the same year, the production of American frame jeeps was started in the assembly shops of the General Motors concern in St. Petersburg.
Specifications
On the Russian market, the seven-seater “pioneer” (this is how its Russian name sounds in English), created on the same platform with the Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck, is represented by two engine options: a four-cylinder Duramax diesel engine with a 2.8-liter turbocharger capable of replacing 180 horses or a gasoline 3, 6 liter V-shaped "six" with a generated power of 239 hp If the first one is able to accelerate a two-ton truck from a traffic light to “hundreds” in 12.5 seconds, then the second one will need only 8.8 seconds for such a jerk.
Both of them are good for towing heavy (up to 3 tons) trailers, overcoming off-road, both were inherited by the SUV from the same Colorado pickup truck. And yet there is no other more suitable and more economical option for this purpose than the combination of a diesel engine with a manual transmission. Although, in percentage terms, their release in relation to the total number of assembled SUVs is not very large - only 5%. The lion's share of car production at the plant in St. Petersburg is made up of diesel versions with automatic transmission - 92%. And only 3% are V6 petrol units with an “automatic”.

This simple and quite affordable SUV has already won a lot of fans from us. Moreover, the previous one impressed with its charisma, good engine and spacious interior. Now we have an updated model with a "diesel" and automatic transmission. The maximum LTZ configuration differs from the minimum LT with 18-inch wheels and chrome exterior trim. Otherwise, externally, the characteristics of the Chevrolet Treblazer 2 are identical. All aggregate stuffing from Chevrolet Colorado.
The same engines as its predecessor: 4-cylinder turbodiesel 2.8 and petrol 6-cylinder 3.6. For them, 6-speed "automatic" are provided, and for LT - 5 tbsp. "Mechanics". 480 Nm of turbodiesel thrust are felt from the very bottom. But it pulls, not accelerates. "Hundred" such trailblazer 2 reaches in 11.8 seconds. Automatic transmission with 0.5 second delay. The dynamics are normal, only until the first overtaking.
A gasoline engine with the same problems, only up to 100 its acceleration is 9.7 seconds, and the sound of the engine is pleasant. In many ways, the trailblazer 2's specs are well thought out. Salon 7-seater, the seats fold quickly. The volume of the trunk with two rows folded will be 1848 liters, without the 3rd row - 554 liters, and 205 liters of its "clean" volume.

Other questions/answers:
The LT of the new Trailblazer comes standard with 16" alloy wheels, power-folding auto-folding side mirrors, air-conditioning with an air filter, heated rear window, manual headlight leveling and rear fog lights. The second-row seats fold 40:60, and the third row in a ratio of 50:50.Also, LT vehicles are equipped with a 6-speaker CD / MP3 audio system, Bluetooth, AUX, USB, power windows with Express Up / Down function on the driver's side and tilt steering wheel. LTZ trim levels include 18" alloy wheels, fixed footpegs, chrome-plated front fog lights, LED taillights, climate control, rear parking sensors, dark gray leather upholstery, cruise control and a multifunction steering wheel (audio control from 8 speakers, climate control, Bluetooth).
The engine range includes a 2.8-liter in-line 4-cylinder diesel engine (180 hp) and a 3.6-liter V-shaped gasoline “six” (239 hp, 329 Nm). The first of the motors is aggregated with both a 5-speed "mechanics" and a 6-speed "automatic", and the second unit is available only with an automatic transmission. The specific power indicators of the modification with a 239-horsepower engine are such that with a car mass of 2035 kg, only 8.51 kg per horsepower, and such “athletic data” is not even available to every passenger car. But the diesel is not so simple - suffice it to say that its impressive torque of 440-470 Nm is already available from 1600 rpm.
Front suspension Chevrolet TrailBlazer - independent, spring, double wishbone. Since the car was created on the basis of the Colorado pickup truck, along with a powerful frame, it also got a solid rear axle, like a “truck”. True, unlike the Colorado, there are not springs here, but softer springs. At the same time, the bridge is mounted on five levers (four longitudinal ones and a Panhard rod), hence the information about the TrailBlazer multi-link suspension that often appears in the characteristics, which in reality, of course, is dependent. Four-wheel drive is organized according to the Part Time scheme with a hard connection (this can be done on the go using the selector), so the 4WD mode is used only on slippery surfaces. This typical "off-road" solution, along with the lowering range, distinguishes the TrailBlazer from most "lightweight" SUVs. It is worth adding that the TrailBlazer comes standard with a rear self-locking limited-slip differential.
The LT of the new Trailblazer comes standard with 2 airbags, ABS, child seat anchors. In the LTZ configuration, additional side airbags and curtain airbags provide protection for the driver and passengers. All cars on the “automatic”, regardless of the configuration, are equipped with the ECS stabilization system, TCM traction control system, HSA / HDC ascent and descent assistance system, TSC trailer stabilization system. The high safety of the car can be judged by the five-star NCAP (Australia) rating of the sister model Holden Colorado.
Sitting between the Captiva and the Tahoe, the Trailblazer is the sweet spot, with a strong off-road focus thanks to its powerful chassis and powertrain. So we can safely say: Chevrolet Trailblazer refers to the "correct" SUVs. The engines are characterized by a combination of high power and acceptable fuel consumption. Perhaps, the Trailblazer cannot boast of anything unique in terms of ergonomics and design - after all, it is rather a typical “hard worker” with a decent amount of utility, which will look best in the countryside. On the other hand, the price of the car is comparable to the cost of other crossovers.
The American brand Chevrolet presented the second generation of the Trailblazer SUV to Russian motorists at its booth at MIAS-2012… But the Russians are not the first to see the new incarnation of the legendary frame SUV.
This car began its journey across countries and continents from Bangkok - where the world premiere of the Chevrolet Treyblazer took place in March 2012 (and its sales in Thailand and China almost immediately started) ... and only by the end of the "holiday season" the SUV reached Russia.
By the way, the 2nd generation Trailblazer is designed to help the Chevrolet Colorado pickup in conquering the Russian expanses - from a technical and constructive point of view, these are “twin brothers”.
The American classic SUV received a branded "face", characteristic of all Chevrolet cars of recent years: with a two-level false radiator grille and a large company emblem at the border of the levels.
The front part of the TrailBlazer is with high-mounted almond-shaped headlights, a neat bumper with stylish chrome inserts and foglight “eyes”. The bumper, for better geometric cross-country ability of the body, is heavily cut from the bottom and bears on its lower plane a powerful protection made of unpainted plastic. The bonnet, with two striking ribs, rises above the wing ridges, which in turn form the sculpted front wheel arches.
In profile, the Thai-made American SUV shows the classic shape of a large station wagon raised high above the road surface. The main elements of the body are eye-catching - courageously swollen wheel arches with a characteristic stamping plane along the perimeter of the edge.
The installed 245/70 R16 tires on 16-gauge alloy wheels are simply lost in the vast expanses of wheel wells, such a large margin allows the wheels to make vertical movements on the road, thereby providing excellent cross-country ability to the Trailblazer. For those who like to impress others with the appearance of their American jeep, as well as for cases of movement mainly on paved roads, it is possible to install wheels with a larger radius - up to 265 / 60R18.
Convenience of landing in salon is provided with a standardly established wide footboard. When viewed from the side, I also want to highlight the quiet sidewalls of large doors, a high window sill line, a flat roof with roof rails to accommodate the trunk and a stylish solution in the design of the rear side of the body.
The glass, starting just behind the edge of the rear door, continues until it completely merges with the glass surface of the fifth door. We can observe such a design decision on the Mercedes-Benz ML (but the Mercedes has a rear roof rack, and the additional glass is more compact). The hero of our review has much more additional glazing and a visually weightless roof rack. Looks fresh and adds light to the interior.
The rear of the SUV - with a large rectangular tailgate, large "chandeliers" of the rear position lights and a modest bumper with additional light elements.
The external dimensions of the 2nd generation Chevrolet TrailBlazer body are: length - 4878 mm, width - 1902 mm, height - 1831 mm (with roof rails 15-25 mm more, depending on the shape of the latter), wheelbase - 2845 mm, ground clearance - convincing 220 mm.
The bodywork is available in seven color options: Summit White (white), Switchblade Silver (metallic silver), Blue Mountain (light blue), Royal Gray (dark grey), Sizzle Red (red), Black Sapphire (black) and Auburn Brown ( brown).
The interior of the Chevrolet Trailblazer SUV, designed for seven seats, is American-style large: in the first and second row there are seats in all directions and with an enviable margin. Passengers in the third row are given a little less space; not only children, but also adult crew members can accommodate in the gallery.
The interior design of the interior, starting from the architecture of the front panel and flat seat cushions, and ending with the finishing materials and the build quality of the cabin, however, is also American, not the best quality by European standards. Hard plastics, uneven gaps, slippery skin, lame ergonomics of controls - a complete set. Stylish and original solutions in the form of deep wells of the dashboard and a round climate control unit refresh the gray plastic interior.
We sit in the driver's seat, an electrically adjustable seat will allow you to get comfortable, the steering wheel - with control buttons for the radio, telephone, on-board computers and cruise control. On the center console - full-time music CD MP3 USB Bluetooth and climate control, simple and insipid, as for a modern car. The second row is spacious, the seat back is lowered at an angle of 6 °, you can remove the rear row of seats with the movement of one hand.
Having folded the sofas of the second and third rows, we get a huge cargo compartment with a flat platform - up to 1830 liters.
Already in the “basic” configuration for the Russian market, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer has: leather interior, climate control, a radio with 8 speakers, rear parking sensors, a stabilization system and at least two airbags.
The second generation Chevrolet Trailblazer for Russia is equipped with two engine options:
- A 2.8-liter turbodiesel (180 hp), paired with a 5 manual transmission (440 Nm at 1600 rpm) or 6 automatic transmissions (470 Nm), this engine provides a heavy SUV with acceleration to 100 km / h in a long 12 .5 seconds, but thanks to the high torque, the car feels great off-road and has a traction force of 3.5 tons, which allows you to tow a trailer with 1 ton of cargo.
- Petrol six-cylinder 3.6-liter (239 hp, 329 Nm at 2800 rpm) with 6 automatic transmissions is more suitable for motorists who do not often leave the asphalt surface and prefer a dynamic driving style (the gasoline engine allows the new Trailblazer to “score a hundred” in just 8 .8 seconds).
The suspension is fully independent on double wishbones at the front and multi-link at the rear, all-wheel disc brakes with ABC, Brake Assist, Dynamic Rear Brake Proportioning (helps distribute braking torque between the rear wheels) and electronic brake force distribution. There is also a stabilization system, assistants when starting uphill and downhill, all-wheel drive is connected - a two-stage transfer case with electronic control.
Thanks to the independent multi-link suspension, stiffer springs and shock absorbers with variable damping characteristics, the Chevrolet Trailblazer SUV has a comfortable suspension and stable behavior at high speeds.
The diesel engine with high torque, along with a powerful gasoline engine, is backed up by a reliable all-wheel drive control system, which makes it possible to feel confident driving an “American” (though made in Thailand) off-road.
In 2014, the Trailblazer-2 is offered on the Russian market in two trim levels: LT and LTZ (but only diesel is offered in the LT trim).
- So the most affordable is the all-wheel drive Trailblazer 2.8 5MT ~ 1 million 289 thousand rubles. For this money, the car will be equipped with: front airbags, an ABS system, power windows “around the perimeter”, electric mirrors (without heating), air conditioning, an audio system with 6 speakers, 16″ alloy wheels and a full-size spare tire.
- The Chevrolet Trailblazer LT 2.8 6AT is offered at a price of 1 million 355 thousand rubles, but in addition to the “automatic” for this price, the buyer will receive an even richer set of driving assistance systems (electronic stabilization system, traction control system, descent / ascent assistance system, trailer stabilization).
- The car in the LTZ configuration is equipped much richer - in addition to what is “in the base”, here: heated mirrors, leather interior, climate control, power seats (6 directions), cruise control, an audio system with 8 speakers, parking sensors, Multi-wheel, 18″ wheels, fog lights, chrome trim and 4 airbags. To complete the LTZ, only an “automatic” is possible as a gearbox.
- The diesel version of the Trailblazer LTZ is offered at a price of 1 million 495 thousand rubles.
- The cost of the "gasoline LTZ" is from 1 million 622 thousand rubles.
