Image gallery: Chevrolet Trailblazer (India)
In an attempt to push its sluggish sales, Chevrolet recently launched the Trailblazer in India at Rs 26.40 lakh, ex-showroom. An SUV in the true sense, the Trailblazer looks massive when seen from any angle. On the front, Chevy has incorporated the bow tie into the grille to make it look similar to other models in its portfolio. The Chevy SUV doesn't look as upmarket as the Ford Endeavour but scores brownie points in terms of volume.
The interiors of the Chevrolet Trailblazer again lose out on the premium feel. The upholstery gets a dual-tone combination, the centre console is finished in gloss black. The climate control switches form a circle that, in our opinion, looks out of place. The dash also offers various storage points and a split glove box.
In terms of performance, the 2.8-litre Duramax turbodiesel four-cylinder DOHC unit produces 200PS at 3,600rpm and a makes a massive torque of 500Nm at just 2,000rpm.
