2024 Chevy Trailblazer SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a subcompact SUV offered in four trim levels: LS, LT, Activ and RS. The base engine is a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine (137 horsepower, 162 lb-ft of torque) paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Choosing all-wheel drive adds a stronger turbocharged 1.3-liter three-cylinder engine (155 hp, 174 lb-ft) and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Keep reading for our rundown of the Trailblazer's most significant features and options.

LS
The most affordable Trailblazer comes with some advanced tech, but its convenience and refinements are otherwise pretty basic. Standard features include:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Automatic headlights
  • Push-button start
  • Flat-folding front passenger seat
  • 60/40-split folding rear seat
  • 11-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • Two USB ports
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the car back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

LT
The LT trim adds several upgrades, including:

  • 17-inch black machine-finish wheels
  • Roof rails
  • LED foglights
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Tinted rear windows
  • Heated front seats

Activ
The Activ trim adds off-road-oriented hardware, more power and visual presence with:

  • 1.3-liter turbocharged engine
  • All-terrain tires
  • Off-road suspension settings
  • Underbody skid plates
  • Tow hitch receiver
  • Dual exhaust pipes
  • Two-tone roof
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
  • Rear-seat center armrest

RS
The RS is similarly equipped to the Activ, but it trades the more rugged hardware for a sportier street-style look. Notable differences include:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Dark chrome exterior trim
  • Red interior accents
  • Flat-bottom steering wheel

The Trailblazer offers a handful of option packages, including: 

  • Driver Confidence package
    • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
    • Rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while in reverse)
    • Rear parking sensors
  • Convenience package (LT trim and above)
    • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
    • Additional USB charge ports
    • Household-style power outlet
    • Automatic climate control

Stand-alone options include:

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Bose premium audio system
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Trailblazer and the car in front)

Which Trailblazer trim does Edmunds recommend?

While the base Trailblazer LS offers a few more standard features for 2024, like last year, we'd still opt for the LT trim. It's better equipped than the base LS trim, adding features such as tinted windows, keyless entry and heated side mirrors. We'd opt for the all-wheel-drive version since it pairs with the more powerful engine, then add the Driver Confidence package for its helpful driver aids.
