2017 Chevrolet Trailblazer spotted testing for the first time

General Motors India recently imported a single unit of the Chevrolet Trailblazer facelift in India, for homologation purpose. And within a couple of weeks, the new Trailblazer has been spotted testing on Indian roads for the first time.

The new Trailblazer made its global debut at the 2016 Bangkok Motor Show. With Chevrolet India’s plans to revamp its line-up by introducing facelifts and new products in the market, the Trailblazer is probably the first product that will be launched in India.

Though the test mule spotted in Pune was heavily camouflaged, we already have a fair bit of idea about how the facelifted Trailblazer would look like. The front will get a new two-part grille, which will be surrounded by a pair of headlamps at both ends, which will come with LED DRLs. The silhouette of this full-size SUV is expected to remain similar to that of the current-gen model, while the rear will get a new bumper, and a new set of LED taillights.

The 2017 facelift of the Trailblazer SUV will just be a cosmetic update, and thus the mechanicals will remain the same. As a result, the new Trailblazer will continue to be powered by a 2.8-litre DuraMax turbocharged diesel engine, capable of generating 197 BHP and 500 Nm of torque. This engine will be mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox, similar to the unit offered with the current-gen model. There is no news about an AWD variant for India.
