Learn more about the key features in each Trailblazer trim using this guide, then see whether we have your favorite option for sale at our dealership in Norwalk, IA.

LS: The High-Value Entry

The LS trim serves as the foundation of the Trailblazer lineup, offering a surprisingly robust set of standard features for a compact SUV.

2022-2023: These models established the LS as a tech-forward choice with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
2024-2026: Following a major mid-cycle refresh in 2024, the LS now comes standard with a massive 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen and an 8-inch digital driver information center.
Performance: Typically powered by the 1.2L EcoTec Turbo engine, providing efficient power for city commuting.

LT: Upgraded Style and Convenience

The LT trim is a popular middle ground, adding several convenience features that make Iowa winters much easier to handle.

Exterior Highlights: Adds 17-inch high-gloss black machined-aluminum wheels, roof-mounted side rails, and deep-tinted rear glass.
Convenience: Standard features include remote start and Keyless Open. For used shoppers, many 2022–2024 LT models are equipped with the Cold Weather Package, which adds heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
Versatility: Provides more available options than the LS, including the 1.3L Turbo engine for those who want a bit more zip.

ACTIV: The Adventurous Spirit

If your weekends involve exploring off the beaten path, the ACTIV trim is engineered with rugged capability in mind.

Off-Road Hardware: Features a specialized off-road suspension tuning, a functional underbody skid plate, and sport-terrain tires.
Performance: Comes standard with the more powerful 1.3L EcoTec Turbo engine.
Design: Distinguished by a unique mesh grille with Titanium chrome accents and a standard two-tone roof option that turns heads in Norwalk.

RS: Sporty and Sophisticated

The RS trim focuses on an athletic, street-inspired aesthetic and premium interior finishes.

Exterior: Stands out with aggressive 19-inch high-gloss black wheels, a blacked-out mesh grille with RS badging, and dual-outlet exhaust with chrome tips.
Interior: The cabin is finished with red accents and a flat-bottom, heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel.
2026 Updates: The latest RS models continue to lead with standard Evotex seating and available premium features like the Bose 7-speaker audio system.

Evolution of the Trailblazer (2022–2026)

While the trim names have remained consistent, the technology has leaped forward. The 2022 and 2023 models are excellent pre-owned choices known for their distinctive "mini-Blazer" styling. The 2024 model year introduced a significant redesign, replacing the smaller 7-inch and 8-inch screens with the current 11-inch standard display. By 2026, features like push-button start and the high-definition rear vision camera have become standard across the entire lineup, ensuring every Trailblazer feels modern and capable.
