The American carmaker has been dropping new SUV models onto the automotive scene seemingly by the month; who knows how long it can keep up its current pace. Jammed into the lineup between the Trax and the Equinox, the new TrailBlazer brings back to life a nameplate used in North America until 2008.

This new model doesn’t get a big-cylinder engine under the hood, though – on the contrary. Chevrolet is offering for it two small 4-cylinder turbo units (1.2L and 1.3L), the latter of which delivers 155 hp.

Kia also brought a new utility model in its luggage to Los Angeles. The all-new 2021 Kia Seltos joins the fray versus other pocket crossovers like the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3 and Hyundai Kona, to name just a few. In fact, the Saltos is a close cousin of the Kona and offers a similar range of powertrains in the product offering.
