The 2026 Chevy Trailblazer debuts the third-generation crossover’s sixth model year, bringing with it relatively minor updates following a comprehensive mid-cycle refresh for the 2024 model year. Among the changes are new exterior paint options, as GM Authority covered previously. Now, Chevrolet has launched the official 2026 Trailblazer online configurator tool, allowing prospective buyers to build and price their ideal subcompact crossover.
The 2026 Chevy Trailblazer is available in four trim levels, including LS, LT, RS, and Activ. Buyers can also choose between two turbocharged inline-three engines. Pricing for the base-level LS with the turbo 1.2L I3 LBP engine and front-wheel drive starts at $24,295, while the same trim equipped with the more-powerful 1.3L I3 L3T engine is priced at $24,690. Adding all-wheel drive increases the price tag to $26,295.
The mid-tier LT trim starts at $25,495 with the 1.2L engine and $25,890 with the 1.3L, while AWD variants get a starting price of $27,495. The RS and Activ trims are positioned as two top-tier offerings, both starting at $28,895 with front-wheel drive and $30,495 with all-wheel drive.
All MSRP figures listed here include a $1,295 destination freight charge. It’s also unclear how the recent round of import tariffs may affect these prices in the future.
As for options, the Power Panoramic Sunroof (RPO code C3U) is priced at $1,495 and is available on LT, RS, and Activ trims. The Convenience Package (RPO code ZL3) adds comfort and tech amenities like automatic climate control, wireless charging, USB ports, and an eight-way power driver seat (LT only), and costs $1,495 for the LT and $1,195 for RS and Activ. For additional tech, the Adaptive Cruise and Sound Package (RPO code CWN), exclusive to RS and Activ trims, brings Adaptive Cruise Control and a Bose seven-speaker sound system for $995.
Powertrain choices remain consistent with the previous year. Standard across most trims is the 1.2L I3 LBP engine, introduced in 2025 as a replacement for the 1.2L I3 LIH and delivering 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, as well as supporting E85 flex-fuel capability. The available 1.3L I3 L3T engine produces 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque, but does not support E85 fuel.
Built on the GM VSS-F platform, the 2026 Chevy Trailblazer is produced at the GM Bupyeong plant in South Korea.

No 2.5L?
Why that ugly sissy looking nose? Do something like the new Traverse to make it look husky… More SUVish
What lame engines.
Starting to get long-in-the-tooth.
I know there’s a market for these and I hate to sound like every old grumpy man on here lamenting the loss of RWD land yachts but good lord these things are hideous! I can’t believe they apply that model name to it still
Can we can this thing and focus on the Trax instead? Take that AWD and a little better 1.3T and toss it into the trax and get rid of this thing. Can GM please make their lower end offerings more competitive on performance? If they insist on three cylinders, both Ford and Nissan have a three cylinder that pushes close to 200hp. Get with it.
