The Chevrolet Trailblazer is a subcompact SUV with five seats. It's powered by a choice of two three-cylinder engines: a 137-horsepower, turbocharged 1.2-liter or a 155-hp, turbocharged 1.3-liter. Front-wheel-drive versions have a continuously variable automatic transmission, while all-wheel-drive models get a nine-speed automatic.

The Trailblazer's roomy interior and entertaining driving experience are highlights, as are its many standard active safety features. However, there's not much power reserve at mid-range speeds, and while the ride quality is good at city speeds, it's not as good on the highway.
