According to Chevy, the Trailblazer, which is a size below the 2013 Ford Escape they were driving, is targeted at people buying Jeep Renegades, Toyota C-HRs, and Honda HR-Vs. The Trailblazer's adjustable height cargo floor would be invaluable in maximizing space, but the flat-folding rear seats and the optional flat-folding front passenger seat were no good here. On the other hand, the surprisingly huge rear seat would be a godsend with an adult and two child seats back there. But would it be enough, especially on a 4 1/2-hour drive?
Been waiting for a review on these. Wife wants a little runabout, our Escalade is far too big for daily use, but we still need it for kid and trailer hauling duties.
Saw one on the streets here about a month back. Snazzy looking little rig. MT seemed to like it.
I think the review was fair. Tire noise can be aggravating. Absence of Nav notable since it is available on Encore GX. And the highway passing issue shouldn't have been surprising with a 3 banger and all the added weight
created by all the options tacked on, incl AWD. Never explained though what their issue was with the fold flat seats.
Really looks quite good. Chevy needs youth-appeal vehicles, and I think this one might do it. Should definitely be attractive to Renegade or HR-V buyers.
I don't think I've ever seen positive reviews for cars in this segment however. Traditional Automotive reviewers strangely seem to lack customer perspective, should be their primary mission.
