Back in December 2022, GM Authority reported that production of the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer was scheduled to kick off at the GM Bupyeong plant in South Korea sometime in July 2023. Now, the fourth model of the Bow Tie brand’s subcompact crossover has officially entered production today.
The Chevy Trailblazer is set to receive a mid-cycle refresh for the 2024 model year. This revision features a redesigned front fascia, an overhauled interior, new wheel designs unique to each trim level, and a suite of new standard features.
The trim level lineup includes LS, LT, Activ, and RS, each of which includes its own front fascia, exterior lighting, and grille design. Standard safety features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and Forward Collision Alert. Adaptive Cruise Control is optional.
Under the hood, the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer is offered with a choice of two engine options, including 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. Units equipped with the LIH engine, as well as units with the L3T engine and FWD, are mated to the continuously variable automatic transmission, while 1.3L engines with AWD are mated to the GM nine-speed automatic transmission. FWD is standard, while AWD is optional.
As for structure, the Trailblazer rides on the GM VSS-F vehicle set, while production for the North American market takes place at the GM Bupyeong plant in South Korea.

Ordered my New Traverse end of January was told it was built but being held up in Canada ? Now being told it is in Michigan but can’t get it here. Arcade NY dealer is Martin Brothers which has been calling but keeps getting stalled. Is it time for me to cancel and go buy a Toyota ?????????????????????? This is absolutely disgusting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disgusting? Talk about 1st world problems lol
So your Traverse was built in Michigan, but is being shipped to New York via Canada? Does it pass through Canada via railway or something? Makes no sense for GM to have to deal with the import/export issues of passing through Canada to get the Traverse to New York…
Makes a lot of sense actually. It’s a relative straight shot from Lansing Michigan to Arcade NY via Canada routing. Whether railway or truck, they all do utilize Canada thoroughfares.
There is no disputing it is faster, but is it logistically worth the extra hassle when it comes to making sure the manifests are correct to pass through Canada. Especially when you are only talking about a difference of 1hr/70 miles to just stay in the United States.
The OP’s original post doesn’t make sense. The dealer says it was held up in Canada, but then says it was back in Michigan and can’t get to NY. Either the dealer is lying, the manifest was incorrect and Canada turned the transport away, or there is something else going on.
I agree the point about staying in Canada does not make sense unless they did logistical route batch or offloading and then had some filling issue. NAFTA export traffic agreements allowed for ship-through scenarios. Paperwork is still filed but the process is streamlined…
Happy to hear that production has begun on these, as I want one! When can we expect to get these at dealerships in the States?
