Score Big with the Chevy Trailblazer or Chevy Trax

Chevy knows how to create small SUVs that fit your needs. The small and nimble frames of the Chevy Trailblazer and Chevy Trax make it easy to navigate through city traffic or crowded parking lots. And both options look phenomenal.

The Chevy Trax offers standard 17-inch Black Aluminum Wheels, while the 2RS trim brings 18-inch machined two-toned wheels, RS badging, and Black Bowtie Emblems. The Trailblazer offers standard 17-inch aluminum wheels for the entry-level LS. But with an upgrade to the sporty ACTIV trim, you'll have sport terrain tires, LED taillamps, and a dual-tone roof and body.
