Unless Chevrolet Philippines made a special request for two-tone for their customers, the possible color options are white, black, red, blue, and black. The absence of Activ and RS means there will likely be no option for a two-tone look with a white roof (Activ) or a black roof (RS). In South Korea, the Trailblazer has 5 grades: LS, LT, Premier, Activ, and RS. The first thing is the absence of two higher-grade models: the Activ and the RS. While Chevrolet Philippines hasn't released any specifications yet, we can make a few reasonable guesses based on the grades and prices. Sometimes distributors getting vehicles from South Korea will price them competitively, but with a shorter list of specifications and features to compensate.

They did it once before when they used the model name for the PPV that was based on the Colorado prior to that, it was a larger midsize American SUV that was a competitor to the likes of the Ford Explorer. This will be the latest major “realignment” of the Chevrolet Trailblazer nameplate. ![]() ![]() but as a small crossover SUV as well to slot just above the Tracker. Now they're about to follow it up with another one, as they're reviving the Trailblazer nameplate. A few months ago, they launched the little Tracker crossover to challenge the Geely Coolray, Volkswagen T-Cross, and other small quasi SUVs. So Chevrolet Philippines had to pivot, and it seems that's in full swing this year. Just a few years prior in 2015, GM closed down the factory in Indonesia that made the small Spin multi-purpose vehicle for our market. ![]() The closure of GM's factory in Thailand meant the discontinuation of two of their volume sellers: the Colorado pick-up and the Trailblazer SUV.
