Ford isn’t the only one looking to crash the Chicago Auto Show media party without the pomp and circumstance of a full-blown press unveiling; Chevy is doing the same with its updated 2024 Trailblazer. Shown here in RS (above) and Activ (below) guises, it’s getting just a handful of updates for next year, including updated in-cabin tech and some styling updates.
Let’s start with the tech, since that’s probably the most substantial new item. The 2024 Trailblazer will come standard with an 11-inch infotainment display along with an available 8-inch digital cluster (up from standard 7-inch and optional 8-inch infotainment, and a 4.2-inch DIC). Moving outside, there’s a new look to the front and rear bumpers and lighting signatures, with a distinctly squintier look up front.
The wheels for every trim of the new Trailblazer have been redesigned, including a new 19-inch wheel for the sporty-looking RS model. Chevy’s also adding some paint options for ’24 that sound intriguing: Copper Harbor Metallic and Cacti Green. Sadly, Chevy didn’t have photos of the car finished in either, but posted this image of them on its consumer site:
Apart from that, everything else appears to be business-as-usual. Both the 1.2- and 1.3-liter engines will return with the same power output (137 horsepower for the 1.2; 155 for the 1.3), however Chevy says fuel economy figures for both are TBA, so there may be some adjustments after GM has the chance to certify the updated model.
