The 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer has received a Wards Automotive 10 Best UX trophy thanks to its standard Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system and low starting price of $19,995.
“The Chevrolet Trailblazer wins a 2020 Wards 10 Best UX trophy for a long list of standard, user-friendly features, first-rate driver-assistance technologies and even wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with a starting price below $20,000,” the publication said in an article.
The 2021 Trailblazer comes standard with a seven-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Entry-level models have a seven-inch screen, but a slightly larger eight-inch display is available as well. The system also comes with Amazon Alexa AI and is bolstered by General Motors‘ OnStar 4G LTE Wi Fi hotspot. GM’s Marketplace app, which allows users to pay for gas, order food and make restaurant reservations from within the vehicle’s infotainment display, further helped to convince Wards’ editors the subcompact crossover was worthy of a 10 Best UX trophy this year.
“Assembled in Bupyeong-gu, South Korea, the Chevrolet Trailblazer is an affordable, stylish small CUV that delivers a top-notch user experience,” the publication concluded.
The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system is offered in a multitude of Chevy products, but its presence in the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer is noteworthy given the crossover’s low starting price of just $19,995. For the students and young families that will likely buy the Trailblazer, having good technology at their fingertips when out on the road is extremely important.
The 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer began arriving at GM dealers in the US in Q1 2020. The crossover comes standard with a turbocharged 1.2-liter LIH three-cylinder engine, which is good for 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, and a continuously variable automatic transmission. There is also an available turbocharged 1.3-liter L3T engine, which makes 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. Only 1.3L models can be ordered with AWD and AWD models also swap the CVT for a traditional nine-speed automatic.

But, but, per all the fans on this site, GM is not competetive in the features they offer so this can’t be true.
Per the article “Chevrolet is suddenly flush at the lower end of the booming CUV market.”
Yeah, I guess selling an absolutely bottom of the barrel CUV is really something to be proud about. This is an effort that may bring in new costumers, but will also result in the loss of just as many.
There’s an automotive blog about base model cars I like reading called Ace of Base. They were a little more critical in their review.
“For a fiver under twenty grand, then, is the base Trailblazer an Ace of Base winner? Not quite, given it’s only available in white and the steering wheel blank will forever remind you that the thing doesn’t have cruise control (that, and your tired-after-four-hours right leg). Shop carefully in this segment, folks.”
I always thought Chevrolet was a step above brands like Nissan and Honda, but I guess they just want to crank out products that compete in that space now… That’s their prerogative I guess.
The 2021 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is a cute CUV which means it’s gender neutral and should appeal to both men and women which is help the TrailBlazer become a sales winner out of the door.
The underpowered 3 cylinder ruins this this car for me.
Make it in United States or Canada and I would look at purchasing one. As long as General Motors continues build offshore and attempt to bring back to US and Canada to sell, their profits will diminish.
