Last year, Chevy doubled down on the small SUV category. To the aging Trax, it added the thoroughly modern Trailblazer, which has several advantages such better looks, a more efficient powertrains and surprisingly upscale finishing for a car with the bow-tie badge on it.
By the way, it's better to aim for all-wheel drive in this case, because the "big" 1.3L turbo 3-cylinder engine is superior to the other option, a 1.2L turbo 3-cylinder.
