Several modern cars in the Chevy stable may need updating, but not the Trailblazer. In case you’ve forgotten, the short-lived crossover embraced its mid-cycle update over a year ago, sporting a few interesting new features across the range.

Don’t look for anything drastic, as this is still a facelift. The updates revolve around the face, which has a few tweaks here and there, two new colors have been added to the palette, and 19-inch alloys available on the RS trim level, among others.

Inside, the automaker has given it a new 11-inch infotainment system and an 8-inch digital instrument cluster, which are the most significant upgrades over the previous Chevrolet Trailblazer. The air vents were put down, and save for a few other things, everything carries.

Yes, that includes the engine, too, which is a 1.2-liter unit with 137 horsepower (139 ps/102 kW) and 162 pound-feet (220 Nm) of torque, or a 1.3-liter mill producing 155 hp (157 ps/116 kW) and 174 lb-ft (236 Nm). Front-wheel drive is still standard across the range, and an all-wheel drive system is optional. Pricing for the 2024 model year starts at $23,100, including destination and dealer fees.

With the bowtie brand’s little ferry being four years old and receiving a mid-cycle refresh in 2023, we reckon it’ll last a few more years. However, that doesn’t mean Chevy isn’t considering its successor, but it’s probably still a work in progress. And there’s no reason to believe it won’t change, as Chevrolet sold more than 111,000 copies of the Trailblazer in 2023 alone, up from 60,000+ in 2022 and 90,000+ the year before.

But what do you think the next Trailblazer will be like? Will it look like an evolution of its predecessor? Will it evolve into a future-like attraction? Will it have completely new foundations? Will Chevy choose to keep it with it ICE strength? What will it be? EV? These questions will be answered when the new breed begins, and anyone who claims to know something about it is probably lying unless they are involved in its development.

However, that doesn’t mean we can’t let our imaginations run wild for now, and this is exactly what kdesignag has done to come up with these digital illustrations. The model considered here does not share much with the current Trailblazer. It has a new face, a completely different profile, a different rear end, and so on. From certain angles, we can tell it looks like a big Tahoe, which uses the same nuts and bolts as the latest Cadillac Escalade. Overall, we won’t be mad if the next Trailblazer looks similar to these CGIs, and we think you wouldn’t either, right?
