Your Guide to the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer Lineup

Chevy makes some of the most well designed and sophisticated SUVs on the road, giving you numerous models to choose from and enjoy. If you’ve been looking for a small SUV at a Chevy dealer near Huntington, then we suggest the Chevy Trailblazer as the perfect model. This sleek and nimble little SUV gives you plenty of options without going overboard, ensuring you can find whatever you need to enhance your next drive. Recently updated for the 2024 model year, the Trailblazer is even better than ever with bold new looks on the outside and a revised interior that gives you fantastic standard and available tech features. With the Trailblazer, you have four trim levels to choose from, with some important differences between them, so let’s take a closer look at all four and see what they can offer you for driving around Huntington.

The 2024 Chevy Trailblazer LS

Starting things off we have the LS trim for the Trailblazer, which gives us the standard features and some available options if you want a few upgrades. This comes with the standard 1.2L turbo engine with 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, which is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). You get front-wheel drive (FWD) on the LS, though all-wheel drive (AWD) is available—this is true for every trim level, so you can pick the kind of performance and driving experience that works best for you.

The Trailblazer LS comes with 17-inch wheels wrapped in all-season tires, with black front and rear lower fascias. You get LED headlamps on the LS for excellent illumination while driving at night, halogen tail lamps, and an LED center high-mounted stop/brake lamp to let others know when you’re slowing down. Standard power-adjustable, manual-fold black mirrors come on the LS model along with a manual rear liftgate and other starting features.

Inside the 2024 Trailblazer LS you’ll find the new 11-inch infotainment display that’s now standard in all models, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. The LS has a four-speaker sound system, cloth seating, and a six-way manual driver’s seat; an 8-inch color Driver Information Center is also standard on 2024 models. You get single-zone climate control and standard cruise control, while other features like remote start functionality are available options.

Every Chevy Trailblazer comes with Chevy Safety Assist standard, which is a comprehensive suite of advanced technology to help keep you safe when driving around Huntington. This includes a Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, along with Front Pedestrian Braking. You also get a Following Distance Indicator to warn you when you are too close to the vehicle ahead of you, plus Lane Keep Assist with a Lane Departure Warning and IntelliBeam auto high beams that can turn off and on automatically to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Other safety tech like a Rear Cross Traffic Alert is available, but not standard.

The 2024 Chevy Trailblazer LT

Moving up to the LT trim, you get a number of upgrades, though many of them are additional options that you can’t get on the standard LS model. In terms of overall performance, the LT is much like the starting model with the same 1.2L engine and features, with 17-inch wheels and a similar overall feel on the road. You get silver-painted front and rear lower fascias with the LT model (remember they’re black on the LS), plus deep-tinted rear glass and heated, body-color side mirrors.

Inside the Trailblazer LT, you’ll find a few nice upgrades like a six-speaker sound system, rather than the standard four speakers, and keyless open with remote start functionality. There are a number of available options for the LT that you can’t get inside the LS, such as an eight-way power driver’s seat, adaptive cruise control, and enhanced automatic climate control. A wireless phone charger is also available for the Trailblazer, starting with the LT model. You can even get heated front seats and a heated steering wheel if that’s something you’re interested in.

The 2024 Chevy Trailblazer RS

Next up, we have the RS, which is essentially one of two pinnacle trim options for the 2024 Trailblazer—both the RS and the ACTIV have the same starting price but give you two different fantastic options to consider. The RS starts with a 1.3L turbocharged engine that delivers 155 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque, which is quite a bit more powerful than the standard engine on the previous two models. We should note that this enhanced engine is available for the LS and LT, but it comes standard on the RS. It’s paired with a CVT if you choose FWD with this engine, though you get a nine-speed automatic transmission instead if you go with AWD.

One of the most striking details of the RS is its 19-inch High Gloss Black wheels that give it a bold and aggressive stance. The RS has LED headlamps and LED tail lamps for excellent night-time illumination and improved visibility for other drivers. Gloss Black mirror caps help create a comprehensive look for the RS and add to its overall style, as does a unique mesh grille and dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips. Inside, you’ll find various improvements like Evotex seating that feels great and is highly durable, with an eight-way power driver’s seat and heated front seats included in the RS. You get a heated, wrapped steering wheel, plus sophisticated touches throughout the interior like a Satin Silver and Chrome wrapped shift knob.

The 2024 Chevy Trailblazer ACTIV

Finally, the ACTIV trim lives up to its name with styling and features inspired by Chevy’s impressive off-road vehicles. This model comes with the same 1.3L turbo engine as the RS, giving you excellent performance and a great vehicle for zipping around Huntington. You get 17-inch high gloss black wheels on the ACTIV, wrapped in Sport terrain tires that help give you excellent traction on dirt and gravel roads. Titanium chrome-plated front and rear lower fascias set the ACTIV model apart, ensuring it grabs attention everywhere you go, plus you get the same impressive LED lighting as on the RS.

Inside, the ACTIV has many of the same features as the RS, such as Evotex seating, an eight-way power driver’s seat, and much more. Many of the same available features are also offered here, such as automatic climate control, a Bose premium sound system, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Visually, you can get some unique details inside the ACTIV, such as Jet Black seating with yellow stitching, whereas the RS offers red accents on the upholstery to create two separate yet equally striking looks.

Ready to Blaze a Trail Around Huntington?

In terms of overall features and options, we like to look at the 2024 Trailblazer as giving you three main tiers to consider. You have the starting tier with the LS, then a middle tier with the LT that gives you more features and available options, and finally, a top tier with the RS and ACTIV. There’s so much overlap in terms of standard and available features on the RS and ACTIV that it helps to think of them as one option with two different, distinct styles between them. That makes it easier to explore what each of them has to offer you and decide on which combination of features provides everything you need. Then, you can choose the right Trailblazer trim and leave the rest up to us as we ensure you get any final options you want.
