Hahaha! Yes. A 3-cylinder engine is available. When I test drive one, I'll report back to you. I'm sure it's not as bad as it may seem. 😅 Thanks for commenting! Let me know if you have any questions. *~DriveAndBeDriven* _"Fueled by dreams, driven by passion!"_
This will probably sell well. Car rental companies, gay men, young women and those who value fuel mileage will probably buy it up. The Blazer is more aggressive and will probably get a V8 version down the road to make everyone happy.
@@robburcham6289 Yes. Most likely... The industry seems to be favoring lower displacement turbos. So, the V8 may very well be reserved for largest of trucks in the future. Thanks for leaving a comment! *~DriveAndBeDriven* _"Fueled by Dreams, Driven by Passion!"_
The trailblazer is something you'd have to buy new , especially the turbo. People beat on turbo motors and by the time you get a used one it's gonna be a bigger piece of crap
Same here! I love the styling that Chevy implemented on the new TrailBlazer and Blazer brothers. They look very unique. The Trax has pretty much become notorious for having very "blending into the crowd" styling", but this all-new TrailBlazer is completely different! Definitely an attractive looking SUV in my opinion. BRAVO, CHEVROLET! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hello Marcus, I had to give you 5 stars for this in-depth and comprehensive review of the 2021 Chevy TrailBlazer. You did a phenomenal review of the vehicle, keeping with your well established high standards. I hope you’re doing well and life is treating you right. Take care and be safe my friend. 😃
Hey, Charles! Good to hear from you again! Thank you very much for the 5-star rating! I truly had a blast recording this video. I hope all is well with you, as well. Let me know if you need any more clarification about this vehicle. I was at an auto show, so I had limited time. But if there is anything you wish I touched on, I will happily give you more clarification. Thanks again for your continual support! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Thanks, Nolan! I have so much fun making these videos! I agree though. It's kind of weird that Chevy named this the TrailBlazer... It should be called the Blazer. And the Blazer should've been called the TrailBlazer. But I guess it's not too big of a deal. Hahaha! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Good review! The naming switch is weird, in my opinion, since Trailblazer is a longer word and was recently bigger (even though the older Blazer is technically bigger). Pretty good looking, though!
Hey man! Glad you enjoyed this review! I am so sorry for not replying sooner. Your comment must've slipped through the cracks. 😅 Anyways, I totally agree! The name switching is a bit weird... Also, that's a great way to put it. Never thought of it like that! 😎 The new Trailblazer sure is a good looking sub-compact crossover. I'm digging it's mature and athletic styling cues. 👍🏼 Let me know if you have any questions. I'll be sure to reply much much sooner this time around! Haha! :) Take care! *~DriveAndBeDriven* _"Fueled by dreams, driven by passion!"_
Much appreciated! I agree. The athletic styling and modest price tag of the 2021 TrailBlazer should definitely help leverage it appropriately into the crowded sea of sub-compact utility vehicles currently on the market. Let me know if you have any questions. I will answer with accurate information as soon as possible. Take care! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Yes! You can never go wrong with having a bit more extra cubbies. Haha! Especially in the Crossover/Hatchback/SUV space. They always come in handy. I personally think Chevy did a pretty good job efficiently packaging the interior of the TrailBlazer. Thanks for all the comments, Rob! Stay tuned for more content coming soon! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
@@robburcham6289 The 1.5 4 cyl that they put in the Equinox would make a good option for the people that would want a bit more power. (170 hp and 205 lb-ft of torque)
Thank you so much, Dawn! Your support has really helped drive me closer towards my goals and dreams. Also, I agree! I really like the amount of style and value Chevy packed into this smaller package. It is basically a mini Blazer! Be sure to stay tuned because I have a lot more videos planned for near future. -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Yes! Chevy really "jumped the line" with this one! I believe this will be their first 2021 vehicle, and probably one of the first 2021 sub-compact utility vehicles to be released. Glad you enjoyed the video, Samantha! Stay tuned for some really cool content coming later this month. -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Thank you so much for commenting! I really appreciate the support. Let me know if you have any questions about the TrailBlazer. I can provide you with any information you may be wondering about before its official release date later this Spring. Thanks again for leaving a comment. Be sure to stay subscribed for more awesome reviews coming very soon! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Hey there, Von! I can't really say that one is better than the other because they compete in two different categories. If you want more space with a more powerful powertrain, the Blazer would make more sense for you (but it will be more expensive than the smaller TrailBlazer). On the other hand, the Blazer is more compact, but will achieve better fuel economy and will be available at a lower price point. Honestly, it all comes down to preference and personal taste. Nevertheless, thanks for commenting! If you have any more questions. Feel free to ask me. I am here to help! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Hey, Frederick! Did you get your Kia Seltos yet? I was scanning through my older comments, and I noticed I never replied to you. My apologies! I actually just had a 2021 Seltos loaned to me for a week. So, if you want, you can check out my latest video reviews covering Kia's newest sub-compact SUV. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GFfTpwhsqUo.html Also, I have one more driving impression video coming out next week. Hang tight! :) Take care, Frederick! Let me know if you have any questions. *~DriveAndBeDriven* _"Fueled by Dreams, Driven by Passion!"_
I really appreciate it, and I totally agree! The new TrailBlazer looks really striking. I feel like Chevy really hit it on the nose. It will be interesting to see how well this car performs in the very saturated sub-compact utility vehicle segment. Thank you. -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Same here! The black accents definitely help make the front grille have a much larger appearance, and quite honestly makes it look more mature. I feel like over-usage of chrome can make cars seem too gaudy and "cheap" to a certain extent. All in all, I give Chevy lots of props for making this vehicle a head turner! Can't wait to review one outside of the showroom in the near future! STAY TUNED! :-) -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Hey there! Yes, it is rather interesting that Chevy is already labeling this as a 2021 model, but it sort of makes sense since it won't be released until later this season (Spring 2020)... Maybe Chevy just wants to come across as being the "newer" entry when consumers are out researching for their next sub-compact utility vehicle. Seeing 2021 definitely makes you look twice. Haha! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Hi there, Melonie! The 2021 TrailBlazer was projected to go on sale in earlier this year (Spring of 2020). Therefore, you should already start to see some 2021 TrailBlazers trickling into your local Chevrolet dealership's inventory. As far as pricing goes, the 2021 model starts at around $20,000 (for a base L model), and tops out at about $28,000 (for a top-of-the-line RS model). Feel free to zoom to the 28:19 mark in this video for a detailed pricing breakdown. :) I hope this information helps. If you enjoyed this video, please like & subscribe. Thank you for stopping by! Let me know if you have any more questions. I am here to help, Melonie! *~DriveAndBeDriven* 🚘 _"The Quest To Record The Best!"_ 🎥
Unfortunately, the 2021 TrailBlazer doesn't offer a 3-row variation. It only comes in a 2-row 5-passenger variation. The only Chevrolets that offer 3-row seating are the Traverse, Tahoe, and the Suburban. But they are all well over $30k for well equipped models (like the one shown in this video). As far as inexpensive cars (under $25k) goes, these are sort of the only 3 new SUVs currently on the market that offer 3rd row seating: Model and approximate starting prices~ 1. Dodge Journey (approx. $23,500) 2. Mitsubishi Outlander (approx. $25k) 3. Volkswagen Tiguan (approx. $25k) Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions. I'm here to help you out, Melonie! :) *~DriveAndBeDriven* 🚘 _"The Quest To Record The Best!"_ 🎥
Haha! It's for the sake of fuel economy. I haven't driven one yet, but the power numbers seem pretty decent. It should be perfect for urban settings. Hopefully, Chevy loans me one soon to review. Thanks for stopping by. Let me know if you have any questions! Take care. -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Oh yes! A 2.0T with AWD would be a pretty generous powertrain for the TrailBlazer. Currently, the most powerful version of the 2021 TrailerBlazer produces 155 horses and 177 lb-ft. A 2.0T would surely push this sub-compact's horsepower and torque ratings well over the 200 mark. Putting it towards the top of the class in terms of power. I highly doubt Chevy would do that anytime soon, but I'd imagine the 1.3T version to be adequate in its AWD varient. Have you been able to check it out yet? Let me know if you have any questions at all. I am here to help. Take care, stay safe, and please subscribe. More content is on it's way. Thank you. *~DriveAndBeDriven* 🚘 _"The Quest To Record The Best!"_ 🎥
@@DriveAndBeDriven I currently drive a 2018 equinox 2.0turbo.awd as a daily driver and a 2008 ltz 6.0 avalanche for my work truck. The equinox is surprisingly quick with the 9 speed turbo. I was sold on it as my grocery getter😄👍
Yeah... I don't blame you, Mike.. This vehicle is definitely more on the smaller side when compared to your '09 model. It's catering to a different audience as opposed to the previous Trailblazer... Maybe the modern-dat Blazer would be more like your cup-of-tea? It's bigger and rated as a mid-size SUV, not a sub-compact. 😎 Thanks for leaving a comment! Hope you enjoyed the video. Take care, Mike! *~DriveAndBeDriven* _"Fueled by Dreams, Driven by Passion!"_

My pleasure! Thanks for leaving a comment! The 2021 TrailBlazer really impressed me. The sub-compact utility vehicle segment has a tiny, yet mighty competitor coming later this year! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
I totally see where you are coming from! Having an electric model of the TrailBlazer would be pretty cool, but it would probably draw sales away from the Bolt. Maybe the TrailBlazer would do better if it has a Hybrid variant. What do you think? Anyways, thanks so much for commenting! If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask me. Stay SUBSCRIBED for more videos coming soon! Thank you. -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
I totally agree with you, Rob. EV models are really cool, but Chevy would most likely boost this vehicle into the low to mid $30,000 range for an EV model (similar to the current prices of the Volt and Bolt). Honestly, it's a toss up. I think Chevy played the right card putting this out as a traditional gasoline variant first. I'm not sure how the current powertrain performs, but the numbers are class competitive. So we shall see. Hopefully Chevy loans me one to test drive soon. Thanks stopping by, Rob! Let me know if you have any questions at all. Take care, sir. -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
24:40 they did it because the passenger seatback folds flat, so when you also cold the second row, you can carry long items. Plastic on the back of the seat becomes a "floor". Nice video man, keep it up!
Oh! That makes total sense - especially since this is a utility vehicle. I appreciate you clarifying that for me. My initial theory was pretty good though. Right? Haha! Anyways, thanks for commenting! If you haven't already, be sure to SUBSCRIBE for more content coming soon. I actually posted a video of one of the TrailBlazer's loose competitors a couple days ago: the 2020 Venue. So definitely give that video a look when you get a chance. Once again, thank you for commenting. Looking forward to seeing you in the comment section again in the near future. :) -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
@@DriveAndBeDriven for sure, your initial theory was good and the plastic seatback helps with kids kicking for sure. I did subscribe and look forward to future videos
Awesome! Thanks so much! You should definitely check out my latest review. It's on the new 2020 Venue which (more or less) is a competitor to the TrailBlazer.

Yes! The TrailBlazer's new radical design is quite awesome in my opinion! Especially when specced out in this RS trim. I am so glad I was able to see one in person before its official release date.

Yes. It'll be interesting to see how these hold up. I kept my commentary on the engine a bit more concise since this was a first look video. But, hopefully, Chevy can send me one so I can test out the engine and give an even more thorough review. Thanks for leaving a comment! Stay tuned for more videos coming very soon! *~DriveAndBeDriven* _"Fuel by Dreams, Driven by Passion"_
@@DriveAndBeDriven Nice job. A 3 Cyl and CVT is and unlikely ticket to 180,000 miles which my son has on his 2010 Corolla or 210,000 on my daughter's 2006 Civic she sold to a friend. Cute and New does sell
Yes! You should! It is a surprisingly good offering in the sub-compact utility vehicle segment. It is light-years better than the current gen Trax in my opinion. Unless they have a huge incentive (and I mean a HUGE incentive on the Trax), I will take the TrailBlazer over it any day of the week. Thanks for commenting, Anthony! Let me know if your coworker needs any assistance with their car buying journey. Make sure to show this video to them for me. ;) -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
Hi there, Danielle! I hope the 2021 TrailBlazer is "fast" out on the road too. The engine numbers seem decently impressive... So we shall see how it performs out in the real world.

Hahaha! I sort of want one too. Chevy really hit the "charm-appeal" on the nose with this one... Something that I personally believe the Trax was lacking. Also, the price of the TrailBlazer is just right. Not to mention, it is spacious and it is super stylish! A win-win-win in my book! Thanks so much for commenting!
