Redesigned for the 2024 model year, the Trailblazer returns unchanged for 2026. This subcompact SUV continues to position itself just above the Trax, partly because it offers all-wheel drive — something the entry-level Trax does not. The Trailblazer still offers a choice of two turbocharged 3-cylinder engines: a 1.2-liter and a more powerful 1.3-liter. Despite the added output, Natural Resources Canada estimates that front-wheel-drive versions consumes less fuel when paired with the larger engine.
