What comes to mind when you think of the Chevrolet brand? This car brand, affectionately known as "CHEVY" by Americans, has gone through more than 100 years of life. In more than 100 years, it has long been the pride and love of Americans. With the passage of time and the export of products, Chevrolet has gradually integrated into the lives of the public in other countries, so that more people can feel the brand charm of Chevrolet. Today, the model we're talking about is 53 years old, and it's chevrolet's Chinese Blazer: the Trailblazer.
In fact, I was very impressed with the Blazer model. When I was 15 years old, when I first saw it on the road, I was attracted by its domineering appearance, and I liked it so much, and I also secretly decided that when I grew up, I would buy a pioneer. Unfortunately, it backfired, and before I could grow up, the car was discontinued!
However, after 15 years, Chevrolet announced that the Blazers were back in China, which was a great joy for me. Today's pioneers are "born" under GM's new C1 platform, with the Buick Encore Banner and Cadillac XT6 on the same platform, positioning medium and large SUVs.
self-improvement
This generation of pioneers is more distinct in appearance style, very young and sporty. The front face gives a strong sense of movement from the beginning, especially after the "RS" element is incorporated. For example: all black net, black car logo, sharp split headlights, etc. And under the strong lines on the RS style kit and the bonnet, there is a more undesirable sense of déjà vu.
As a medium to large SUV, it has a super long body of nearly 5 meters and a wheelbase of 2863 mm. There are certain advantages in the same level. In addition, the side of the body is designed through the convex wheel eyebrows and waist line, which also makes it look more muscular and layered. The black multi-spoke wheels have a certain sense of sport and quality, and the size has reached an exaggerated 21 inches.
The "Y" taillights and exposed chrome sides are two exhausts, and even the shadow of Chevrolet's own sports car, The Corvette, can be seen in it.
Interiors with a focus on practicality
Inside the car, the Blazer's design is also rough, wild style, huge circular air outlet, the style is also somewhat similar to its own Camaro. The addition of red elements also makes the car appear more dynamic and the temperament is good.
The combination of dual hands + 8-inch LCD dashboard, the display information is still very rich.
The four-spoke steering wheel is rugged in shape and wrapped in leather, making it feel very full to hold. The left and right sides are integrated with ACC adaptive cruise, voice wake-up, etc., making it difficult to get started.
The 10-inch central control screen has a decent shape, and has a good practical performance in terms of picture quality and smoothness. Built-in MyLink+ intelligent vehicle interconnection system, the mainstream functions on the market are basically available.
The seats continue the consistent characteristics of American cars, wide and soft. The seven-seat layout form of 2+3+2 is more common in SUVs. As a medium-sized SUV, how does the third row perform? Although the objective analysis performed well at the same level, it is still recommended to use it occasionally.
By the way, the test drive also has a quick function of two rows of seats electric reclining and three rows of seats electrically reclining/rising, which only needs to be controlled on the right side of the trunk, and in just a few seconds, you can make a "bed".
Intelligent "Change"
As the flagship SUV in the SAIC-GM Chevrolet family, it is not enough to have an appearance. Chevrolet equipped the Trailblazers with 2.0T engine + 48V mild mix + Tripower variable valve management technology. The maximum power and peak torque of the system are 237 hp and 350 Nm respectively, with a 9AT gearbox.
Although the test drive weighed 2 tons, the power reserve was very abundant and powerful, and the output was also very linear. So navigating around the city can also give you a light driving experience. Thanks to the addition of the 48V mixing system, the motor can provide some auxiliary power during start-up and acceleration.
Trailblazers offer four driving modes to choose from to cope with the vast majority of road conditions that owners may encounter when traveling. (High-speed 2WD, high-speed 4WD, Sports and Off-Road modes).
The 9AT gearbox shows good ride during the ride. If you do not deliberately step on the throttle to accelerate, in addition to judging by the change of engine speed, you basically do not feel the existence of the gearbox.
The rear suspension adopts five-link independent suspension, and when passing through the fine bumpy road, you can feel a certain sense of road, but there is no obvious vibration in the car. The chassis also showed good toughness when passing through the larger speed bumps.

Although the Blazers don't look like I saw it as a child, they are more powerful, more spaced, and more configured, and these product points are enough to offset my nostalgia for the previous appearance. So now the trailblazers I "like you"! What do you think of the Chevrolet Trail Blazers? Welcome to leave a message below!
