Nearly a year after introducing the refreshed 2025 Chevy TrailBlazer SUV in Brazil, General Motors announced the official arrival of the revamped midsize utility vehicle in Argentina.
The automaker officially launched the refreshed 2025 Chevy TrailBlazer SUV in Argentina, one of the few countries in South America where the SUV based on the Brazilian-built Chevy S10 pickup truck is sold. The company’s Argentine subsidiary highlights GM’s extensive experience in manufacturing true SUVs with off-road capabilities, having led the segment since the first Chevy Suburban Carryall in 1935.
“At General Motors, we benefit from 90 years of experience since we manufactured the first body-on-frame SUV, and our goal with the new TrailBlazer is to continue offering customers a vehicle prepared to face any terrain and situation,” said Commercial Director of GM Argentina, Andrés Carfagna. “2025 TrailBlazer arrives with new engineering solutions that raise comfort, handling and safety levels, in addition to offering an extended warranty up to 5 years or 150,000 km,” he added.
As in Brazil and the rest of the markets where it’s sold, the refreshed 2025 Chevy TrailBlazer SUV arrives in Argentina exclusively with the range-topping High Country trim, which includes a full suite of technology, safety, and comfort features. In fact, in addition to the aesthetic changes to the exterior and the new interior design, the 2025 TrailBlazer includes chassis and suspension upgrades said to enhance comfort.
Mechanically, the 2025 Chevy TrailBlazer SUV offers a unique powertrain combination comprised of the next-generation 2.8L I4 Duramax turbodiesel engine, producing 207 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque, mated to GM’s latest eight-speed automatic transmission. A 4×4 drivetrain comes standard on the 2025 TrailBlazer High Country.
The refreshed 2025 Chevy TrailBlazer SUV is now available for sale throughout the brand’s extensive network of official dealerships in Argentina, reinforcing its position as the largest and most capable utility vehicle in Chevrolet’s local portfolio. With a refined finish and notable technological improvements, the model is one of the most comprehensively equipped SUVs in its category. The 2025 TrailBlazer is priced at 63,939,900 pesos, or approximately $60,190 USD at the current exchange rate.

And not for American market. It would sell very well here. Sad.
You can buy a nice EV CUV instead 🙄
Considering how well the 4Runner and the other turds Toyota just launched this is an untapped market. The Grand Cherokee is the only other option in that class. When I was traveling and saw this and Ford Everest. Considering how expensive and lackluster package the 4Runner has become this would be the perfect time for Ford and GM to actually bring this to market in the US. I know Ford has plenty of capacity considering the Ranger is not a huge seller. GM had capacity free until they switched plants to EV platforms
No, the Grand Cherokee is NOT the only other option in that class. There is also the Dodge Durango (still V8 and RWD).
But I agree… THIS is the TrailBlazer we have been asking for in the US.
As far as which plant to assemble it in, it would be the same as where the Colorado/Canyon is manufactured, since it would ride on that same chassis.
It wouldn’t sell, we aren’t a 3rd world country or one with mostly remote dirt roads out of the big cities. The 4runner barely cracks 100k in sales with no direct BOF competitor and sales have been declining. When people buy them, drive them and don’t use them for their attributes a BOF SUV brings they then realize how bad of a vehicle it is. Worse ride, worse handling, worse mpg, worse space, etc; they then trade it in on a nice CUV that doesn’t everything they need much better (I have one buddy who’s wife did that after he convinced her to get a 4runner, less than a year later and she was in an Explorer). So no, it wouldn’t sell, you just like the idea that a few thousand people might use and buy, otherwise, poor business choice to bring it here when there are FAR superior products in the same size realm…
I do concur with that, but also with the traverse Z71, 80% of what this SUV can do the traverse can do better. The traverse is also underpined with a frame, just the unibody is wrapped around it. The traverse makes more power, towed more, hold more and can also go off road. Only place this SUV would beat it is going over a boulder at max load which would bend the traverses frame/body, while a true BOF vehicle has flex in that area. The real crime is that there was a GMC Jimmy in the works that was slotted to get the 6.2, but got sidelined for the Hummer EV.
Right; we got shafted BIG TIME, when GM teased us with news about a GMC Jimmy… only to later cancel it.
I believe this is an updated version of the international Chevy/Isuzu/Holden Trailblazer. It is no longer sold in ASEAN, but is still alive in Brazil. I’ve seen the previous generation in Thailand and they look good, but a bit rugged like the previous Fortuner/4Runner.
Unfortunately, GM will not build them here unless trade barriers from other countries are dropped and GM can export them like countries like Japan, Germany, and S. Korea can. The only reason the Japs are in the US is because they are subsidized by the Japanese government and it is not easy getting your vehicles into the country. Hyundai closed shop there.
Thanks for explaining!
Yes, I assumed it was an updated version of that one.
“A bit rugged” is not necessarily bad, as that was what the 2022 GMC Jimmy was supposed to be. 🙂
Good point, that the market in the USA may not be large enough to support assembly here without exporting. Guess I thought IF it would be based on the Colorado/Canyon platform, the numbers wouldn’t be that much of a problem, provided one of those assembly plants had a bit of excess capacity to add TrailBlazers to the line.
I know the market for these type of vehicles is getting smaller but there is still the 4runner here and not to mentioned the bronco and wrangler that it could be considered competition.
It will never come here but it would’ve been nice. Especially since we have the Colorado/canyon here that could share almost 90% of parts.
I think they could make the the traverse/Acadia a much more offroady vehicle though and that would help to bring some more customers to GM
But like I said, it’ll never happen…
