Ready to learn more? Read on as our team here at Feldman Chevrolet of Novi dives into this Chevy Trailblazer MPG review.

Under the Hood of the Trailblazer

As you would fully expect, the powertrain under the hood of the Chevy Trailblazer plays a critically important role when it comes to the MPG it is able to earn. Popping the hood, you will find an ECOTEC 1.2L Turbo engine pumping, providing you with 137horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque.

Mated to this engine is a continuously variable transmission. Rather than using set gear ratios like a traditional transmission, this will continually search for ideal ones. In the process, it can provide you with a more efficient acceleration experience, improving gas mileage along the way.

The Trailblazer also comes with innovative Automatic Stop/Start. This technology can detect once you’ve reached a complete stop, say, at a red light, and can shut the engine down accordingly. Then, once it is time to resume roaming, the engine can automatically turn back on when you remove your foot from the brake. This powertrain system will also help maximize your fuel-economy figures.

What Is the Chevy Trailblazer MPG?

A Note About Storage Space and MPG

Of course, as an SUV, the Trailblazer comes with plenty of room for storage. The SUV offers you 54.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume when the second row of seats is folded down. Whether you are utilizing all this space to move a piece of furniture, or you are just making use of the cargo area behind the second row, you will have plenty of room.

When it comes to cargo and MPG, though, you will find that they have a direct correlation. The more cargo you have in the vehicle, the heavier it is and the more gas the SUV will burn. In turn, this will reduce your fuel economy. So, to maximize your MPG figures, it is best to remove cargo from the cabin when you no longer need it.
