The Chevrolet Trailblazer, with its sophisticated and muscular design has won over plenty of motorist in the Philippines. It is a 7-seater that boasts of best-in-class power and torque, 800mm water wading capability and multilink suspensions for that comfortable ride.
To date it has sold 2,211 units from January 2014 to June 2014 and is currently ranked 3rd on the mid-size SUV segment.
Making a good truck even better, Chevrolet Philippines is introducing the Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8L LTX variant. Now fitted with rugged yet elegant 18-inch alloy wheels, premium leather seats, rear back up camera with rear sensors, the Trailblazer LTX is now better than ever.
Powered by the 2nd generation Duramax Turbo-diesel engine, the 2.8-liter Trailblazer LTX produces 200hp of power at 3,600 rpm and 500 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. It is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with Active Select that features retuned ratios to take advantage of the improved Duramax engine’s capacity.
The new Chevrolet Trailblazer LTX variant is now fitted with 18-inch alloy wheels with an 8.5-inch width and 20-inch hub offset. It also features a power dome hood design, Chevrolet’s signature dual-port grills, new black “B” pillars and black polyurethane license plate frames to draw out the appearance of the vehicle’s glasshouse frame and give the Trailblazer LTX and upgraded and sportier profile.
Inside it will sport Camaro-inspired blue LED illuminated gauges that are easy to see at night and during the day, a built-in 2nd and 3rd row seats air conditioner vents that provide better air circulation, and an elegant beige leather seating surface for the 7 theater-styled seats that can be configured for more space and comfort. The new upholstery features full perforations on the cushions and backrests to increase comfort in warm weather and is double stitched to increase the durability of its seams and joints. Another extra detail added, that LTX owners will surely appreciate, are the additional pockets for small items placed at the leading edge of the driver and front passengers' cushion under the occupant’s knees- a discreet place to hide valuables from prying eyes.
Equipped with a new rear back up camera with rear sensors, a new chromatic rearview mirror featuring a 4.3-inch LCD back up monitor and a new overview sensing monitor and digital compass, the Trailblazer LTX variant is also loaded with several convenient and safety features to serve new Chevrolet owners well.
The Trailblazer is the first mid-size SUV in its segment to offer disc brakes on all four wheels. Aside from the usual Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) tandem, the use of four coil springs and a multi-link rear suspension system, usually found in more up-market SUVs, balances out the typical characteristics of conventional body-on-frame SUVs and results in a comfortable ride and passenger car-like handling dynamics.
