General Motors had a treat in store for visitors of the Dubai International Motor Show: The all new 2013 Chevrolet TrailBlazer prototype.


Built on the same platform as the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado, this midsize 4x4 also borrows from its open-box cousin the 2.8L Duramax turbodiesel engine.

Much like the Colorado, the new Chevrolet TrailBlazer boasts rugged looks and a commanding stance courtesy of 20'' wheels and a power-dome hood. LED lights and turn signals are part of the mix, too.

The versatile interior can seat up to seven passengers with three rows of seating that can tumble and/or fold flat. Overhead is a multifunction console that integrates the HVAC system and infotainment unit.

''Although this is a show vehicle, the overall design is faithful to the production version that will arrive in Chevrolet showrooms next year,'' GM said.

Canadian availability has yet to be announced, however.
