As GM Authority has previously reported, the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer is no longer available to be ordered in the Vivid Orange Metallic or Blue Glow Metallic paint colors. Now, a third color has joined their ranks, as Mahogany Red Metallic can no longer be ordered on the 2023 Trailblazer.
Originally introduced on the Trailblazer for the 2022 model year, Mahogany Red Metallic (color code GHL) will not return for the 2024 model year, as it will be indirectly replaced by Cacti Green and Cooper Harbor Metallic. On the 2023 model, this hue was available on LS and LT trim levels for no extra charge; it was not offered at all on RS and Activ trims. Notably, it could be combined with both available LS and LT interior colorways, Jet Black and Jet Black/Medium Ash Gray.
Mahogany Red Metallic was initially one of 10 exterior colors available on the 2023 Trailblazer (relevant color code in parenthesis):
- Blue Glow Metallic (GGK)
- Crimson Metallic (GFM)
- Fountain Blue (GLN)
- Iridescent Pearl Tricoat (GP5)
- Mahogany Red Metallic (GHL)
- Mosaic Black Metallic (GB0)
- Nitro Yellow Metallic (GHS)
- Sterling Gray Metallic (GZB)
- Summit White (GAZ)
- Vivid Orange Metallic (GHD)
It’s worth noting that Mahogany Red Metallic will be built out following the week of May 29th, 2023.
As a reminder, the Chevy Trailblazer is set to receive a mid-cycle refresh for the 2024 model year. This revision will feature a redesigned front fascia, an overhauled interior, new wheel designs unique to each trim level, and a bevy of new standard features. Production of the upcoming 2024 Trailblazer is currently scheduled to start in July 2023.
In regard to the current 2023 Trailblazer, the Bow Tie brand’s subcompact crossover is offered with two engine choices, the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine, rated at 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, and the turbocharged 1.3L I3 L3T gasoline engine, rated at 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. The 1.2L LIH is mated to GM’s continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), while the 1.3L L3T is mated to either the CVT or the GM nine-speed automatic transmission.
Under the skin, the 2023 Trailblazer rides on the GM VSS-F vehicle set, while production began on April 24th, 2022 at the GM Bupyeong plant, which supplies the Trailblazer crossover to all markets where it is sold. The GM China Dong Yue plant in Yantai, China previously built the Trailblazer for the Chinese domestic market, but it has since been discontinued there.

Shame. Seems like a color that makes you want to get out and was your vehicle.
I just bought one in this color & was a major reason that I bought it. First thing people say to me when they see it is, I like the color!
95% of the public wants very safe colors. Look in a parking lot and almost all cars look the same. Then again, I paid extra for paint on my last two (2015 & 2016) Chevys are got yellow on one and bright metallic green on the other. Heck, I’m a guy and yet I’d rather buy 1970 Chrysler Panther Pink than the blah colors that makes up all or almost all of every color in a typical manufacturer’s offerings. Offer me purple, 1969 GTO Judge Orange, a medium light blue with strong metallic. I’m not a fan of the new Accelerate Yellow on the C8 Corvette but it beats the other blah colors. At least black on a car is like a black dress on a woman, it makes a stately look on any car but black is tough because 3 seconds after you wash it the car looks dirty again, lol. A couple years back Chevy offered Shock on Sonics and Sparks and yeh, it was garish but at least it had ‘pop’. I don’t know if most of palette is for folks that don’t want to ‘step out’ with their color but at least but one ‘bright’ color on each vehicle. I remember some years back when Ford offered a distinctive purple on the F150. It didn’t have many takers but I’d buy anyone’s vehicle just to get some ‘sparkle’ and they do make these colors do make good advertisement statements.
