2026 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER • ST. LOUIS
The 2026 Trailblazer offers two turbo engines and available all-wheel drive. Those choices affect the vehicle you should test, the fuel-economy label you should read and what you can ask of a small SUV. Weber Chevrolet in Creve Coeur can help you compare actual engine and drivetrain combinations, not just trim photos.

Confirm the stock number, model year, engine and drivetrain before your visit.
Standard three-cylinder rated at 137 hp and 162 lb-ft. A starting point for buyers whose FWD configuration, equipment and drive feel suit daily use.
Available three-cylinder rated at 155 hp and 174 lb-ft. Check the exact SUV’s drivetrain and fuel-economy label, rather than assuming every RS or ACTIV has the same setup.
Chevrolet pairs 2026 Trailblazer AWD with the 1.3L engine and a nine-speed automatic. Verify the selected vehicle’s sticker and review the operating instructions.
The first filter is drivetrain, then engine, then trim and equipment. If you want to compare this small SUV with another Chevrolet, our Trailblazer versus Trax guide addresses AWD and everyday fit.
| 2026 choice | Chevrolet output | Specific vehicle to check |
|---|---|---|
| Standard 1.2L ECOTEC turbo three-cylinder | 137 hp / 162 lb-ft | Confirm engine, FWD, trim, sticker and EPA label. |
| Available 1.3L ECOTEC turbo three-cylinder | 155 hp / 174 lb-ft | Confirm FWD or AWD, installed equipment and the matching EPA label. |
A higher output figure can inform your shortlist, but it cannot tell you how quickly you will feel comfortable with the controls or whether a particular trim has the features you need. Drive the candidates over the same types of streets: a stop-and-go stretch, an appropriate highway merge and a familiar parking situation. Notice throttle response, transmission behavior, noise, seat position and outward visibility.
Do not treat ACTIV or RS as an engine specification by itself. Match the badge to the actual window sticker. The 2026 Trailblazer trims guide helps narrow available appearance and equipment choices after you decide how you want the vehicle to drive.
CHEVROLET-PUBLISHED EPA ESTIMATE
31 MPG combined
Applies to the available 1.3L turbo with FWD, not all Trailblazers.
The 31-mpg estimate belongs to a specific powertrain and drivetrain combination. It should not be assigned to the 1.2L model or an AWD Trailblazer. Read the federal label on the exact SUV you may buy, and compare annual fuel cost with your actual mileage and fuel price.
Traffic on I-270, weather, tires, load and driving style can change real-world results. For a buyer who values AWD, compare its own label and the reasons you want the drivetrain, not a fuel number from a different vehicle.
Chevrolet offers Trailblazer with front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. For 2026, the AWD setup is paired with the 1.3L turbo and nine-speed automatic. Drivers who regularly value an available AWD configuration should ask to drive that exact version. Others may prefer the equipment or pricing of a suitable FWD model. The decision should come from how and where you drive, not the color or wheel design.
Check that the actual listing and sticker say AWD. Test the chosen version, review the owner instructions and compare its EPA label and total price to your plan.
Try a FWD vehicle with the features you want and a comparable AWD vehicle if available. Notice the driving difference, compare labels, then decide whether the option earns its cost for your use.
Tires, visibility and safe speed remain important on slick pavement; AWD does not remove the need for them. A Trailblazer buyer comparing another small Chevy should know that the 2026 Trax is FWD-only, as explained in the Trax comparison.
Chevrolet lists up to 1,000 pounds of towing capability for a properly equipped 2026 Trailblazer. That is a small-trailer ceiling for a suitable setup, not an invitation to attach a trailer to any stock vehicle. Load the trailer as it would be used and include its contents. Review hitch hardware, trailer lighting, any braking requirements, occupants, cargo and the selected vehicle’s owner instructions and limits.
A hitch accessory does not raise a manufacturer rating. If the loaded trailer exceeds the applicable Trailblazer limit, compare a vehicle with greater verified capability. Our Blazer versus Trailblazer guide provides a larger-SUV path to explore, but its own ratings also have to be checked on the actual vehicle.
01
Ask for a 1.2L FWD and 1.3L or AWD candidate only if available. Note model year, engine and drivetrain for both so you know what you drove.
02
Evaluate leaving a stop, an appropriate merge and a parking maneuver. Listen and feel for the response that matters to your daily commute.
03
Set the front seat at your position, try the rear seat and load the everyday items that determine whether the SUV solves your current vehicle problem.
04
Compare window stickers, EPA labels, equipment, total price, trade amount and any financing terms. A useful decision has more than a peak horsepower figure.
Tell Weber Chevrolet if your regular drives are short St. Louis County errands, longer highway commutes or trips with frequent passengers. These details make it easier to bring the right configurations forward.
Use the 2026 Trailblazer model guide for broader equipment context and the trims guide to choose the features that matter. If you have a trade, the trade-value resource helps plan that part of the transaction. The financing application is available when you are ready; rates and approval depend on the applicant and lender.
Contact the Creve Coeur team with your FWD or AWD preference, 1.2L or 1.3L preference, preferred trim and driving priorities. Ask which current stock numbers match and whether they can be seen together. A confirmed stock-specific appointment lets you compare the actual engines and equipment rather than relying on a generic model photo.
