Can the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer Activ Actually Blaze a Trail?

“Trailblazer” doesn’t have to be a literal term. We talk about figurative trailblazers all the time, people or products that do things differently or break a glass ceiling. Although the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer may be an new product for the brand, it competes in an established segment, and both the marketing around our “Activ” trim level tester and the history behind the Trailblazer name suggest Chevrolet meant the literal definition. Let’s put it to the test, then.

The original Trailblazer (and the Trailblazer trim level for the compact S-10 Blazer that preceded it) was a truck-based, body-on-frame SUV with proper four-wheel drive and a six- or eight-cylinder engine. The all-new model is a car-based, unibody crossover with two different turbocharged three-cylinder engines and manually selectable all-wheel drive.

Our off-road-focused Activ trim level tester gets a minor suspension lift, some underbody shielding, a revised front bumper for better clearance, and “sport terrain” tires. Never heard of a “sport terrain” tire? It’s an all-season tire with aggressive-looking sidewalls that may or may not improve traction slightly in deep mud, sand, or snow. Technically, these tires are Hankook Dynapro AT2 all-terrains, but in a new configuration with considerably less aggressive tread likely optimized for on-road noise and comfort.

Lest you think the new Trailblazer is lacking in off-road cred, consider this: The old Trailblazer had 7.8 inches of ground clearance. The new Trailblazer has between 7.0 and 8.0 inches of clearance. The Activ trim, in particular, gets a slight bump in ground clearance, but only if you spec it with all-wheel drive. Doing so gets you an extra half-inch of daylight under the vehicle (base models have 7.0 inches, most other trims have 7.5, and Activ AWD gets 8.0).

What’s more, the new Trailblazer rides on a 9.1-inch-shorter wheelbase, so although Chevy hasn’t released approach, breakover, or departure angles on it yet, simple math tells you the new one has a way better breakover angle. Comparing the old and new models side by side suggests the new one has a better departure angle, too, thanks to its short rear overhang, but the old truck likely has a better approach angle (low noses are better for aerodynamics and thus fuel economy, something Chevy cared less about in 2001 when it released the last Trailblazer).

Chevy also changes the damper tuning on Activ models to fit their off-road orientation. It’s supposed to make the vehicle ride better on dirt and gravel roads, but we didn’t have another trim level to compare it to. Mostly, we just thought it made the car ride stiffer than it needed to on the street.

Time to answer the big question, though: Can this thing blaze a trail? The short answer won’t surprise you: Not really.

To test it, we started off easy on an occasionally maintained dirt road. Whatever they’re doing on the street, the dampers work well on rougher surfaces. The Trailblazer rode pretty well on the bumpy road, though you hear a lot of noise from the tires on-road or off. The “sport terrain” tires gripped well enough to keep the car from sliding around on the dirt when driven normally.

Now, for a challenge. There are two surefire ways to lose grip off-road: steep hills and getting wheels off the ground on big bumps. We started with a good, steep hill, and as you’d expect, the front wheels spun and scraped at the dirt for traction without really going anywhere. Whoops! Didn’t turn all-wheel drive on. Unlike nearly every other car company on earth, Chevrolet’s parent GM forces you to turn on all-wheel drive manually in its crossovers rather than doing it automatically when a wheel slips. Instead, you get a message suggesting you turn on all-wheel drive while the front wheels dig a hole. Why? Because the EPA tests a vehicle in its default mode, and front-wheel drive is more fuel efficient than all-wheel drive.

OK, all-wheel drive is on. Let’s try this again. With power going to the rear wheels finally, it’s a whole different situation. Chevy hasn’t published the maximum torque split front to rear, but it’s almost certainly not more than 50/50. Whatever it is, it’s enough. Even on a steep slope, facing uphill or down, the Trailblazer digs right in and goes with barely a scratch at the dirt. Now we’re getting somewhere.

We’ve found the Trailblazer can handle loose surfaces, but that’s just step one in off-roading. The real challenge is the obstacles you’ll come across out on the trail. From deep holes and ruts to rocks and logs, off-roading requires clearance and the ability to send power to the wheels with traction. Already, we see a problem. Chevy knows most people won’t take this on any road worse than dirt or a gravel stretch, so it’s designed for aerodynamics and fuel economy. There’s a reason the front bumper on a Jeep is so high. Although the Trailblazer’s ground clearance is pretty decent, even with the Activ’s unique front bumper the approach angle still isn’t great. All this to say you’re not going to be driving over very large rocks or logs or into deep holes or ruts without dragging the nose. The road down to your favorite fishing spot hasn’t been graded yet this year? No big. Blazing a trail? Not so much.

Fine, but off-roading isn’t just about rock crawling. What about those situations where the road is full of holes and you end up getting one or two wheels off the ground? No, the Trailblazer isn’t good at those, either. There’s two ways to handle those situations: articulation and differential locks, and the Trailblazer doesn’t have either. The wheels don’t have a lot of travel, so they can’t drop down into holes to maintain contact with the ground. Chevrolet’s ability to package a torsion beam, a rear differential, and a Watt’s link under the rear of the car is impressive, but torsion beams are pretty useless off-road.

One wheel in a hole is no problem, as the other three have plenty of grip. Two wheels? Especially at opposite corners of the vehicle? Bad news. The Trailblazer has open differentials front and rear, so any time a wheel loses traction it spins like crazy while the wheel on the other side of the axle goes nowhere. If just one of the four wheels is doing that, the other axle can pull the vehicle out. If a wheel on each axle is in the air or just plain loses traction, you’re in trouble. Some vehicles solve this problem by using the brakes to stop the loose wheels from spinning and force the wheels with traction to turn. The Trailblazer kind of does that, but half-heartedly at best. When we got in these situations, fluctuating the gas and letting the vehicle rock a bit eventually got it free with a bit of help from the brakes, but more from plain old momentum.

So no, the new Trailblazer can’t blaze a trail. The all-wheel-drive system is clearly meant as a traction aid in bad weather, shallow mud, dirt, gravel, and sand. With its open differentials, it’s not going to get you over or through tougher obstacles even if the nose will clear them. The Trailblazer Activ is, as its name suggests, targeted at people with an “active lifestyle” in marketing speak who go to state parks and such where the ability to carry gear and not get stuck in the mud is all you really need. If your vacation itinerary includes an OHV trail, bring something else.

Hottest cars of 2020 that turned cold due to Covid-19

A total Ferrari production halt on March 14 included production of the 611-horsepower, V8 Roma, which was supposed to roll into dealerships toward the end of the year. By Hannah Elliott and Kyle Stock At least three years and about $1 billion. That’s roughly what it takes to make a new vehicle, from drafting table to dealerships. Car companies live and die by that long-range gamble—but every once in a while, the bet coincides with an economic disaster. The coronavirus pandemic and its attendant recession may be the worst time to launch a car since, well, since we’ve had cars. Selling a Model A was a tough task during the Great Depression, but at least dealerships were open and some assembly lines still humming. The global auto industry of 2020 is witnessing an unprecedented, near-instantaneous drop in demand as potential customers steer clear of car lots, and dealers close up shop to comply with public health mandates. Volkswagen, Honda, Hyundai, and Mazda each reported a more than 40% decline in U.S. sales last month. For the year, S&P expects global auto sales to plummet almost 15%. For sales of the most anticipated cars of 2020, the timing couldn’t be worse. In a normal economy, the first few months for any shiny new machine are relative magic. Overeager customers clamor for the fanciest, most profitable versions, and dealers seldom have to offer discounts or incentives. Now, every sale (done online or over the phone) will be considered a coup. What’s more, the newest machines aren’t just grocery getters—they’re the result of product decisions made during one of the industry’s hottest streaks—the fruits of bull market research and development. Many are bold bids for incremental business, niche cars that might not have received a green light in a shakier economy. Among them are a few futuristic electric vehicles, which suddenly must contend with some of the lowest gas prices on record. Others are six-figure speed machines that were banking on Wall Street bonuses and swelling stock markets, neither of which seem likely in 2020. What follows are some of most needle-moving whips rolled out in years—all for a pre-coronavirus world. With would-be buyers now focused on the grave crisis at hand, this is less a preview of automaker glory than a wistful look at what might have been. SUVs The much-anticipated new Land Rover Defender launches this year with the historic brand’s manufacturing sites shuttered. While the vehicle’s release remains on schedule, the first media test drives planned for April were predictably canceled. The good news for the British automaker though is that the off-road rig, a stalwart of British royalty for four decades, got a fair amount of publicity last year: The Defender’s official debut took place at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, and it has been making the rounds on Instagram ever since. Along with the Defender, the reborn Ford Bronco is one of the most hyped vehicles in years. In 1996, Ford parked the Bronco name (which dates back to the mid-1960s) after O.J. Simpson provided the worst kind of publicity. In subsequent years, the seminal SUV became a design icon and collector’s item as Jeep took over ownership of the off-road adventure market. We were supposed to see the new Bronco on April 2, but its debut has been delayed. In North America alone, the pandemic is destroying $12 billion in potential sales each week while scrapping 331,000 vehicles that would otherwise have come off of assembly lines, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Still, U.S. automakers like Ford hope the second half of 2020 will allow them to make up some lost ground. Crosstown rival Chevrolet has turned to Trailblazer, a nameplate that’s been defunct in the U.S. since 2009, to carry its newest, small, crossover SUV. With an optional three-cylinder engine and a sticker price below $20,000, the little rig is aimed at young, outdoorsy folk. Chevrolet, however, already has three smallish SUVs to sell. Moreover, Kia is aiming for the just-right-size SUV market with its new Seltos, another middle child in a big family. The Seltos began selling in the U.S. in February, before the coronavirus shutdowns began in earnest. For now, the machine is coming from factories in Korea, which are still running. Aston Martin’s make-or-break DBX, another latecomer to the luxury SUV game, is the first of its kind from the 107-year-old brand. The automaker first showed the 542-horsepower DBX at the L.A. Auto Show in November 2019; media drives were planned for May. Those have been postponed and production at all the company’s manufacturing sites halted. Meanwhile, Aston Martin doesn't have working capital and still desperately needs the SUV to deliver drivers. The global crisis and its effect on demand may leave the company in a very bad place. Spokesman Nathan Hoyt says the vehicle’s U.S. launch remains on track for the second half of the year. In the more opulent tier, the upcoming Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 SUV will compete against Bentley's Bentayga and Rolls-Royce’s Cullinan. It has a V8 engine that churns out 550 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, plus a 48-volt “EQ Boost” system that helps smooth out all that power. The machine was scheduled to go on sale in the U.S. in the second half of this year. But with Mercedes manufacturing at a standstill, it’s too early to say if that will remain the case, says a Mercedes representative. Electric Vehicles When it comes to futuristic electric vehicles designed for an $80-a-barrel world, Tesla products remain at the forefront, though the company has remained tightlipped about timing, given current events. The all-electric flatbed Cybertruck that almost broke the internet when it debuted last year is one hanging in the balance. The Blade Runner-style vehicle boasts driving range estimates of up to 500 miles and a zero-to-60 mph sprint of 2.9 seconds. Production is tentatively slated to begin in 2021, and Tesla is already taking deposits, but all this could change. Though initially unwilling, Elon Musk eventually shut down his California factories last month. That shutdown also applies to Tesla’s Model Y, a compact electric SUV the company started delivering to customers in March, but has yet to be seen in the wild in significant numbers. Rivian Motors set out to do for SUVs and trucks what Tesla had done for electric sedans. It promises its R1S will be able to travel 400 miles on a single charge, drive through three feet of water and zip up to 60 mph in three seconds, all with Costco-capable cargo space. Rivian was planning to deliver its first SUV late this year; at the moment, its facilities ate shuttered, including the former Mitsubishi plant in central Illinois, where it was mapping out assembly lines. Ford has also been hustling to finish its Mustang Mach-E, an all-new, all-electric vehicle whose November debut won broad praise for checking three critical boxes: good looks, long range, and performance specs that best gas-powered pony cars. Now, dozens of early versions are cycling among the world of Ford engineers, who disinfect each before continuing work. Pre-coronavirus, Ford said that the number of deposits for the machine was sizable, with a greater-than-expected share from drivers who had never owned a Ford. An additional electric offering has experienced unlikely progress: Against all odds, the fastback Polestar 2, Polestar’s second vehicle and first all-electric car, started production on March 23 at Zhejiang Geely Holding’s plant in Luqiao, China. First unveiled in February 2019 as a fierce potential rival to Tesla, the Polestar 2 produces 408 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque, with an estimated range of 292 miles. It remains unclear, though, how many units will be produced or when deliveries might begin. Last month, BMW “e-revealed” the BMW i4 Concept, which had been slated to premier at the since-canceled Geneva Auto Show. The company has yet to show the production version, but it’s expected to be an all-electric sedan that uses an 80-kilowatt-hour battery to get 530 horsepower and 372 miles of driving range. Despite the current closure of BMW production plants, the i4 is expected to start selling toward the end of 2021. Says spokesman Thomas Plucinsky: “We don’t anticipate any delays.” Sports Cars Spurred by a heady stock market, super expensive, super fast sports cars were enjoying a moment until March arrived. Porsche had big plans to roll out the 640-horsepower, muscle-y 911 Turbo S version of its franchise machine with group media drives. Instead, the company delivered the 640-horsepower machines one by one via fleet drivers prepped on disinfection and social distancing. Porsche’s German manufacturing plants in Zuffenhausen and Leipzig have been silent since March 21, and Porchce Experience  Centers in L.A. and Atlanta, where the Porsche-curious take test drives and track lessons, sit empty. The $225,000 Ferrari Roma super car debuted in November in, of course, Rome. But a total Ferrari production halt on March 14 included production of the 611-horsepower, V8 Roma, which was supposed to roll into dealerships toward the end of the year. Ferrari hopes to eventually make up for the lost production with additional shifts. “No material impacts on deliveries and waiting list are foreseen at the moment,” a spokesperson says. Over in England, the $1.7 million McLaren Elva super car packs a punch: 804 horsepower on a V8 engine and rear-wheel drive. It’ll do zero to 124 mph in just 6.7 seconds, which makes it faster than its sibling, the track-suited Senna. McLaren had planned to build just 399 of them, each one customized through the company’s special-ops MSO division and delivered at the end of 2020. “We will continue with all possible design and engineering activities that we can at this stage,” says Roger Ormisher, vice president of communications at McLaren. The carmaker will “then finalize physical development once staff are back at MTC, with the plan to deliver Elva into production as close as we can to Q4 2020.” Finally, Lotus is trying to piece together its first new vehicle in more than a decade. The machine, dubbed Evija, is stunning—and costs $2.1 million. Shaped like a spaceship with trimmed sides and massive wheels, it boasts nearly 2,000 horsepower generated from four electric motors, as well as a zero-to-60 mph sprint of fewer than three seconds. Only 130 will be built by the legendary U.K. automaker. As for when they will be built, that will be determined later. Production has halted at Lotus’s Norwich headquarters while engineers continue tweaking designs from home. “The vehicle development process is as it was—just not in the offices,” says Rob Borrett, a company spokesman. Super car architects, it turns out, are just like the rest of us. They Zoom. Read the full article

The 2021 Chevy Trax Review: A Potential Contender

Ever since the addition of the Trax into the growing list of the impressive Chevrolet lineup, it has been an outstanding performer. We should expect the same from the 2021 version. What has caught the attention of the many patrons of the Chevy Trax is the ability of the vehicle to offer similar spec sheets of a high-end SUV at an affordable rate. The Trax isn’t also as bulky as other SUVs, which is a bonus for individuals seeking for a moderate-sized SUV. However, the 2021 Chevy Trax still faces stiff competition from other rival automakers and other models from the same Chevrolet Ecosystem.

To give a better review of the 2021 Chevy Trax, we have compiled a specification list below;

Engine

The latest Chevy Trax is powered by a 1.4 liter-turbocharged four-cylinder, which is attached to a six-speed auto transmission. Though it has an average horsepower of 138, it makes up for it by being very fuel-efficient, reaching up to 31 mpg. The default setup is a Front-wheel drive. However, an All-wheel drive is also available but optional.

Interior

The 2021 Trax provides a five-passenger cabin. You can get up to 48.4 cubic feet of space when you fold the back seats and a reasonable 18.7 cubic feet with them in the proper position. The 2021 Chevy Trax also has a beautiful feature, which creates space up to eight feet long by making the front passenger seat flat. This space can come in handy when sport or camping equipment needs transporting.

Exterior

The 2021 Chevy Trax might appear a bit smaller in comparison to the Trailblazer. It comes with sixteen-inch aluminum wheels for both available trims. However, the features present only in the higher-trim Trax LT is the availability of Taillights with LED properties, and body-color side mirrors. The Midnight Edition comes with glossy black aluminum wheels, black front and back skid plates, and overall dark design.

Technology

The Trax comes with a standard Apple Carplay and Android Auto integration. It also comes with a seven-inch touchscreen display for easy navigation. It also incorporates 4G LTE/Wi-Fi connectivity to provide passengers with quick access to the internet. Connectivity is limited to only seven devices, including laptops and tablets.

Trims and Safety

The 2021 Chevrolet Trax comes with two trims; The Trax LS, and the Trax LT. The safety measures included in the 2021 Chevrolet Trax consists of the presence of ten airbags, blind-spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert.

In conclusion, the 2021 Chevy Trax is a very compact SUV, with a moderate price for individuals running on a budget. If you desire to lease the 2021 Chevrolet Trax, then there is no better place to get it other than Viplease, where you get the most affordable prices.
