[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Chevrolet Korea GM unveiled the 2022 Trailblazer on the 21st and began accepting pre-orders. The model year-updated Trailblazer enhanced its product competitiveness by improving the basic powertrain configuration and applying various convenience features as standard, all without a price increase.

Cesar Toledo, Vice President of Sales, Service, and Marketing at Korea GM, stated, “The Trailblazer, which has recorded outstanding performance in export markets with a presence beyond its class, is set to meet customers with even better product competitiveness. Despite strengthening the powertrain and convenience features, the starting price of the 2022 Trailblazer has been frozen.”

From the 2022 model year, Chevrolet upgraded the 1.2ℓ E-Turbo Prime engine, which was applied to the base trim, to the 1.35ℓ E-Turbo engine used in higher trims. Utilizing GM’s advanced light-sizing technology, it delivers a maximum output of 156 horsepower and a peak torque of 24.1 kg·m. Notably, Chevrolet maintained the starting price of the Trailblazer without any increase despite applying a high-performance engine as standard, enhancing customer satisfaction.

Additionally, the 2022 Trailblazer maximized product competitiveness by strengthening standard specifications and reorganizing option package contents. Based on a 3.5% individual consumption tax, the LT trim now includes the E-Turbo package and Convenience package, worth approximately 790,000 KRW and 640,000 KRW respectively, as standard, while the price increase was minimized to 780,000 KRW compared to the previous model.

The ACTIV model features new 18-inch machined alloy wheels and tires, black bowtie emblems on both interior and exterior, and the previously 790,000 KRW Comfort package is now standard. The RS model also applies the Comfort package as standard but lowered the price compared to the previous model with the same specifications, further enhancing product competitiveness.

Moreover, various new options and exterior colors have been added. The Comfort package available for LT and Premier trims now includes a ventilated front passenger seat. Instead of the previous Agata Red and Midnight Blue exterior colors, new colors Milano Red and Monaco Blue have been introduced.

The prices of the 2022 Trailblazer, based on the reduced individual consumption tax, are as follows: ▲LS 19,590,000 KRW ▲LT 22,630,000 KRW ▲Premier 24,450,000 KRW ▲ACTIV 26,020,000 KRW ▲RS 26,460,000 KRW.
