2023 Chevy Trailblazer Activ
Surprisingly spacious while packing a big punch, it’s the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer Activ. The Trailblazer is a great all around, affordable option for families that need a reliable SUV and the Activ takes it up a notch by offering some sport perks. Its compact nature makes this SUV an easy one to store, maneuver and park. The Activ acts as a reliable replacement as well for the recently discontinued Trax. If you have been loyal to the Trax in the past or are looking for similar options, our review guide will show you everything you need to know.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The Activ has five more cubic feet of interior space than the Trax.
- For being smaller and more compact, the Trailblazer offers a higher roof which means adults in the back are going to be more comfortable.
- The front passenger seat folds forwards, offering more utility for cargo space in the Trailblazer.
- All safety, entertainment and comfort features that were optional on the previous trims are made standard on the Activ.
AN ENGINE MEANT FOR DAILY POWER
The Activ’s main purpose is to give a little more off-roading edge to the Trailblazer’s already impressive feature lineup. It comes equipped with a now standardized ECOTEC 1.3-liter turbo engine with variable valve timing, direct injection and stop and start technology. With it you’ll get 155 horses with 164 lb-ft of torque and an optional all-wheel-drive system. Previous engines on lower trims don’t have this option, making the Activ the best choice if you plan on going off road. It’s also going to get you 29 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway for estimated gas ratings.

With the Activ, you’re going to get the very top of the line safety features you could get on a Chevy making sure that you are taking care whether it be on the road or on the trail. Inside the Activ there’s forward collision alerts, following distance indicators, emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, parking assists and so much more that comes in Chevy’s standard safety suite.
