Safety and Compliance
Driver-assistance content is not trim-gated here. The Chevy Safety Assist package — Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking with Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, a Following Distance Indicator and IntelliBeam — arrives on the $23,300 LS exactly as it arrives on the $27,900 ACTIV, so the shopper working the bottom of the range gives up nothing that intervenes at speed.
Third-party testing lands in three places. The federal NHTSA program awards 5 stars for frontal crash protection and 4 for rollover resistance. IIHS rates it Good on the small overlap front and side tests, Acceptable on LATCH ease of use, Marginal on front pedestrian crash prevention, and Poor on front vehicle crash prevention. Headlights are the one rating that moves with the trim you pick: Acceptable on LS and LT, Poor on RS and ACTIV.
Warranty Coverage
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Bumper-to-bumper | 3 yr / 36,000 mi |
| Powertrain | 5 yr / 60,000 mi |
| Rust-through | 6 yr / 100,000 mi |
| Roadside assistance + courtesy transportation | 5 yr / 60,000 mi |

What These 2026 Trailblazer Numbers Mean in Practice
| Spec | In Practice |
|---|---|
| 71.2 in. wide (excl. mirrors) | A standard 8-ft single-car garage bay clears it with roughly a foot to spare per side before mirrors, easier than most mid-size crossovers. |
| 174.1 in. long | A shade over 14.5 ft, so it fits a 16-ft driveway apron or a compact parking stall with room to spare, an easy fit around Diamondhead's condo and townhome parking. |
| 104.0 in. wheelbase, 39.0 in. rear legroom | Two adults sit behind two adults comfortably; three across the back is a short-trip proposition, normal for this class. |
| 13.2-gal tank at 31 mpg combined (1.3L FWD) | Roughly a 400-mile highway tank, so a round trip to Little Rock and back is one fill. |
| 1,000 lbs tow rating | Covers a small utility trailer; a boat or a pair of jet skis is outside this vehicle's brief. |
