The previous version of the Chevrolet Trailblazer left an impressive impression when it comes to road performance. Now that the Trailblazer has been overhauled to line up in the subcompact crossover class, several people are wondering whether its performance is still as impressive as before. Luckily, some people have tried driving the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer already to give us an insight into how it performs on the road.

Since the new Trailblazer is in a front-wheel-drive configuration, it makes the driving easier as you would feel that the car is effortlessly pulling the entire weight compared to the previous version. The CVT also contributes to the overall powertrain system performance package as it works to minimize fuel consumption while exerting its best effort to produce optimal power. Another good trait about the CVT of the Trailblazer is that you would feel that you are not driving a CVT and that more power is produced than the usual CVT models of other brands.

The brakes lack responsiveness, which would make you go to a full-stop when needed, especially when in a heavy traffic situation. However, it can be adjusted, but if you are going to take the Trailblazer as it is, you have to get yourself familiarized with the brakes. When it comes to power, you could expect that since the new Trailblazer comes in a low displacement with high torque output, it would deliver vigorously despite that the engine properties has downgraded from the previous version. Although there is a bit of a delay when you put the car in the manual mode, if you keep it on drive mode, it pulls pleasantly.

Overall, the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a good choice if you are looking for a crossover with a stunning look and a promising performance. There might have been some negative traits of the Trailblazer when it comes to powertrain performance, but its numerous positive attributes are reasons to book a test drive.
