How much does the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer cost?

There are 3,809 listings available, which suggests you have a decent amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $19,344.92, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer a good car?

Generally — the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer earns 4.33/5 from owners and 6.67/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners repeatedly praise its stylish design, comfortable and functional interior, and smooth ride. They also point to its value for the features it offers, especially in the LT package, along with the easy-to-use technology that makes it approachable in daily driving.

The trade-offs are familiar: some drivers mention ride-quality complaints and a lack of horsepower. The Trailblazer’s appeal is strongest if you want a personality-rich small SUV that feels practical and easy to live with, rather than one that prioritizes power or premium materials.

With 29.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer reliable?

Owners rate it 4.33/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a comfortable, functional cabin and a generally smooth, trouble-free feel in everyday use. That same feedback also suggests the Trailblazer is the kind of vehicle many buyers can count on for routine commuting and family duty.

Its powertrain is described as a setup that sounds worse than it is, and the larger engine is the better choice if you want the Trailblazer to feel more sprightly. The cost-effectiveness notes also mention a single free maintenance visit to the dealership, which is a small ownership perk.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the Trailblazer’s value proposition depends heavily on condition and price, so a neglected example can feel expensive to own.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any specific vehicle, because a clean market average does not guarantee a clean individual example. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if you are considering a higher-mileage or heavily optioned Trailblazer, and pay close attention to cabin condition, ride quality, and how the vehicle feels over rough pavement.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Trailblazer comes in L, LS, LT, Activ, and RS trim levels. The base L is the simplest version, while AWD is unavailable on L and costs more on LS and LT because it also brings a larger engine and different transmission. The LT is the best-value choice in the test-drive notes, while Activ and RS add more equipment and a stronger engine.
• Powertrain: You get turbocharged three-cylinder engines, with the 1.2-liter engine making 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque and the 1.3-liter engine making 155 hp and 174 lb-ft. Front-wheel drive uses a CVT, while AWD adds a nine-speed automatic and a more sophisticated rear suspension.
• Safety package: Chevy Safety Assist is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high-beam headlights. Blind-spot warning with lane-change assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control are available.
• Infotainment: The Trailblazer uses a 7-inch or 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and Chevrolet Connected Services readiness. Teen Driver technology is standard, and the larger screen can add Alexa Built-in, Spotify, SiriusXM satellite radio, and wireless smartphone charging.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle averaged 26.1 mpg in combined driving, and the official EPA fuel-economy rating is 28 mpg.

Which 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer trim should I buy?

The 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer is offered in 5 trim levels: L, LS, LT, Activ, and RS.

Here's the short version:

• L: This is the simplest entry point, and the styling still works even at this level. It is the least expensive way into the Trailblazer, but it also misses out on AWD.
• LS: This trim adds a step up in equipment and can be paired with AWD, though AWD also brings the larger engine and different transmission. It makes sense if you want a lower-cost Trailblazer with more flexibility than the base model.
• LT: This is the best-value trim in the test-drive notes. It is the smart middle ground if you want the Trailblazer’s style, tech, and usability without pushing into expensive territory.
• Activ: This trim adds off-road suspension tuning, sport-terrain tires, and a front skid plate. It suits you if you want the Trailblazer with a more rugged look and a bit more dirt-road intent.
• RS: This is the sportiest-looking version, with 18-inch aluminum wheels and a more aggressive personality. It is the right pick if style matters most and you want the most expressive Trailblazer.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the lineup, while blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control remain optional.

• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.78% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $19,344.92, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer's resale value?

The current average of $19,342 sits slightly below last year's $20,972.

That softer pricing suggests the Trailblazer has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. If you shop carefully now, you may have a better chance of limiting your own depreciation exposure later.

The model’s broad appeal, strong safety reputation, and owner satisfaction should help keep demand steady. Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.33/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer safe?

It earns top crash-test ratings from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high-beam headlights. Every Trailblazer also gets 10 airbags, a rear-seat reminder system, and Teen Driver technology.

Blind-spot warning with lane-change assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control are available, so you may want to prioritize a better-equipped trim if those features matter to you.

Should I buy a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 29.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.78% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.33/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It adds a heated steering wheel and a trailering package option.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $17,518, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $19,342 average.
• It offers stylish design and plenty of technology at a lower entry price.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $21,531, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $19,342 average.
• It adds new paint colors and continues as Chevrolet’s entry-level SUV.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, safety, and everyday usability, the 2022 is the primary year to target. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the better value play, while the 2023 makes sense only if you specifically want the newer model-year pricing and updates.
