While Chevrolet focuses on the 2017 Camaro ZL1 at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, the brand is busy doing other things on the other side of the globe.
During the 2016 Bangkok International Auto Show, Chevrolet showed off two concepts that provided not-so-subtle hints towards the brand’s upcoming design language. Those two vehicles were the Chevrolet Colorado Xtreme and the Chevrolet Trailblazer Premier. The Colorado Xtreme showed off a much more aggressive look for the global pickup, while the Trailblazer revealed a softer side with more luxurious features at the forefront.
We’re here to ask how you’re feeling about the Trailblazer Premier, as we continue to hope, no, beg General Motors to consider the Colorado-based Trailblazer for the North American market.
The Trailblazer looks much less “developing country” here, and ready to take on a higher profile buyer, which was the plan all along according to the brand. The lines up front are softer with a modern take on the Chevrolet corporate face, though, we feel it would need a little cleaning up for North America, especially in the rear.
Overall, we think it’s a very good looking SUV in a world where the SUV has diminished under the rein of the crossover utility vehicle. However, we seriously don’t dig the wheels, which look like cheap, knockoff aftermarket units. Picking nits.
So, tell us, are you digging the Trailblazer Premier? It’s likely coming very shortly, just not to a dealership near you. Unless you’re in Thailand, India or Australia among others.
Comments
If this trailblazer comes to the U.S. market, they would need to get rid of the rear door quarter Windows and go with a straight line window sill design. The curved up glass serves no purpose and looks too entry level. More visibility is always better.
I agree — rear half of the vehicle doesn’t have the sex appeal that it could/should have. Make it a WOW!!!
Front is nice but again, a little bland given that the styling seems to be getting more expressive among the competition.
As a previous Trailblazer SS owner, I’m truly a fan of the Trailblazer. I would love to see this vehicle in the U.S.! Especially in SS trim and with an updated powertrain!
I only love her for the body. Don’t care for the rims/tires… looks too aftermarket and on road biased.
Bring it to the US in a GMC Denali Package.
We will see a version of this here in Chevy and GMC trim but not with this styling. from the B pillar back it is horrible.
Note this is why the Acadia was down sized.
This has the front clip that should have been added to the Chevy Colorado .
Bring it on! I would buy one.
I hope they put a decent motor in them, one with some “get up and go”.
I have a 2015 Colorado Z71, and can’t wait to get rid of it!!
Thanks, bring on the TRAILBLAZER, make a customer happy.
I can’t seem to find any information on the 2016 Trailblazer LTZ regarding a factory-installed towing package. Do you have any information on this option?
These look like Tonka trucks and lack sophistication. I feel like GM has trouble designing for Chevrolet, Opel and Buick. That The General runs out of his ideas.
Make sure the 2.8 Duramax in in it and I will order one today!
