Chevrolet resurrected the Trailblazer name for its brand new sub-compact SUV. Unlike the majority of competitors that rely on four-cylinder engines, the company opted for a pair of three-cylinders. The standard 1.2-litre unit is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while the optional 1.3-litre variant benefits from a nine-speed automatic transmission. The latter is obviously more powerful. ACTIV and RS models stand out with an available two-tone exterior.
