The 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a top-performing competitor in the extra-small crossover SUV class. Since its re-introduction in 2021, it has been well-received. While the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer is an ideal vehicle for any driver, it’s great for beginners. Here are four reasons the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer makes a great first car.
1. Style and Trims
2. Power and Performance
Two engines are available for the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The base engine is a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder that delivers 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. This engine is matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drive for a smooth drive every time. If you prefer an all-wheel-drive system for better traction and handling over various road and weather conditions, you can opt for the stronger turbocharged 1.3-liter three-cylinder option.
