Used Chevrolet Trailblazer: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Chevrolet Trailblazer from 2021 to 2025: what each year typically sells for (about $17,500 to $26,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2022–2025. Look harder at or skip 2021.

A roomy small crossover with frugal turbo engines and a surprisingly spacious back seat.

Worth knowing
- 2021: owner complaints spike (193, mostly the electrical system).
- The base engine feels slow on the highway and cabin plastics are budget grade. All-wheel-drive models get a nine-speed automatic instead of a CVT.
The trim we'd park in our garage
The LT is the sweet spot: it adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and access to the stronger 1.3-liter turbo with AWD, which the LS largely lacks.
