Chevrolet has updated its two cheapest SUVs for the 2027 model year. The automaker is adding more than 20 standard safety features and a new adventure-focused Trailblazer trim.

The Trax and Trailblazer will reach dealers in spring 2027 with revised styling, larger screens, and built-in Google with Gemini. The changes come as the two nameplates post their best sales year yet.

Chevrolet says it has already delivered more than a quarter-million combined Trax and Trailblazer units this year, which makes this update for 2027 all the more meaningful.

Both SUVs get upgraded electrical and software architecture that enables over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features, up from previous levels. New additions include:

Inside, both models now get a standard 11.0-inch driver information display paired with an 11.3-inch infotainment screen running Google built-in with Gemini. New buyers also get 12 months of OnStar One included, which adds in-vehicle WiFi hotspot capability and video streaming on top of standard OnStar services.

The 2027 Trax drops to three trims: entry-level, RS and Activ. Chevrolet says the small SUV remains the segment leader, accounting for one-fifth of its volume.

Styling updates include a new grille, redesigned wheels, all-LED taillamps and a redesigned liftgate, plus a power liftgate option for the first time.

Trim-specific details separate the Trax lineup. The entry-level trim gets higher-contrast wheels, RS adds 19-inch wheels (the largest offered across all trims), and Activ keeps its distinct front-end design. A new Storm Sky Gray interior color debuts across both nameplates.

Trailblazer's headline change is the arrival of Z71, a trim name Chevrolet has used since 1963 and one that debuted on its full-size pickup line in 1988.
