What’s new for the 2026 Chevy Trailblazer?
The 2026 Trailblazer offers a few new looks, adding White Sands and Apex Red to the list of available paint colors.

The Trailblazer’s spare tire is now optional, but an inflator kit becomes standard equipment to help you keep a damaged tire inflated on your way to the service department.
