Performance
Two Engines. One Critical Difference.

The Trailblazer's engine choice matters more than it seems, because the 1.3L is the only path to AWD. If Ohio winters and year-round traction are important to you, you want the 1.3L — which also happens to deliver more power and better highway efficiency than the base engine.

AWD requires the 1.3L engine. You cannot add AWD to a 1.2L Trailblazer. If you want AWD, you are choosing the 1.3L and the 9-speed automatic — not the CVT.

RS vs. ACTIV
Same Price. Two Different Personalities.

The RS and ACTIV are identically priced at $30,090 FWD and share the same engine, seating, and comfort features. The only real decision is personality — and how you want your SUV to look on Columbus roads or Central Ohio trails.

RS — Choose This If
You want your SUV to look fast standing still. The 19-inch black wheels, blacked-out exterior trim, red interior stitching, and available red or black two-tone roof give the RS the most aggressive stance in the Trailblazer lineup. Built for drivers who like their commute to have some attitude.
ACTIV — Choose This If
You spend weekends on trails, gravel roads, or anywhere the pavement gets uncertain. The ACTIV's off-road suspension tuning, all-terrain tires, and front skid plate are purpose-built for light off-road use. The white contrasting roof and outdoor-ready styling signal exactly where this one wants to go.
