Chevy Trailblazer Sways Safety-Conscious Crowd By Earning IIHS 2022 Top Safety Pick + Award

Many 1st quarter events are not a surprise to us here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis, where we know that vehicles such as the 2022 Trailblazer have been honed-in on specifically by design teams to be the safest vehicles on the planet. The 2022 Trailblazer has just been officially noted by GM Authority for being named as an IIHS Top Safety Pick, following in the footsteps of the year before’s Trailblazer release. 

It received a best-possible overall safety rating of “Good” from the IIHS, after presiding at the top of many crashworthiness evaluations including passenger and driver’s side small overall front crash tests, moderate overlap front, roof strength, and head restraints/seats. An economical model that still displays a large amount of unique flair and personality, the 2023 Trailblazer will see production beginning this April 24th, as the tradition of safety and extreme roadworthiness at an attractive price continues. After a week of testing the Activ model, the Cnet.com Roadshow car experts deemed it as “solid, versatile in all ways, and easily earning any urban commuter’s respect”.

Activ and RS models gain a standard heated steering wheel, while roof rack cross rails and a trailering package including a hitch, harness and bezel are now available as extras installed by us right here at Jim Butler. Other goodies that come along for the ride at no extra cost include keyless entry with push-button start, and a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s chair, along with a folding front passenger seat backrest. The Trailblazer offers 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space in its hold, and 54.4 after the rear backrest is completely folded. 

This testing model also featured an ideal aftermarket Thule Canyon XT cargo basket on the roof, as the editor set out for a long drive and claimed that the driver’s seat felt immediately firm and perfectly elevated. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped, the 8-inch touchscreen is effective and functional, and the infotainment system wirelessly supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Adaptive Cruise control and an HD Rear Vision Camera are also included in the options group: your EPA figure for mileage will hover around 27.7 mpg, and it will remain a benchmark for quite some time regarding affordable SUVs that are practical and align with current expectations. 

Slimmed-down and city-friendly, this turbocharged and very stylish SUV will always be timelessly attractive, and we have all types of financing options available for you here this late winter’s season right here at Jim Butler Chevrolet! Headed to lots like ours with stylish wheels and the option for a black-painted roof that works well visually, we encourage you to check out the model that some think “may not be a sporty choice” and see just all the modern and popular elements that define otherwise!
