The 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer is an old name on a new idea from GM.
Pros Sharp looks Heritage name Right-sized Standard active safety tech
Cons Comparatively sedate interior How much will it cost? No powertrain info
The Chevy Trailblazer is all-new for 2021, returning to the market after Chevy ended production of the crossover in 2009.The 2021 Trailblazer starts at less than $20,000, making it cheaper than the Trax. Every model features a standard 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Except for the base L model, every Trailblazer can be had with all-wheel drive and the more powerful turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine. While the Activ and RS models have distinctly rugged and sporty styling, respectively, we think the LT trim level is the best value. We'd also recommend opting for the bigger engine with all-wheel drive for an extra $2000.
After a 12-year hiatus, the Trailblazer name has been revived for the U.S.Part of the second Trailblazer generation introduced for 2021.
Pros Sharp exterior styling Competitive list of standard and optional safety features Activ model brings some light off-road capabilities
Cons Engine and power figures seem weak on paper for an SUV
The Mitsubishi ASX has a decent infotainment system and comes with a long list of standard kit, but it feels too dated in important areas to recommend ahead of newer alternatives.
Pros Good infotainment system Proper all-wheel-drive system Decent levels of kit
Cons Poor rear space Noisy at speed Unsettled over bumps
The Exceed variant is the best 2020 Mitsubishi ASX money can buy, but is a fourth refresh enough to hide its age?
Pros The facelift has given it a sharper appearance Value for money Great stereo Good warranty/service offer at the moment
Cons Still a 10-year-old car underneath Interior is bland Fake vents everywhere Uninspiring drive
The 2020 Mitsubishi ASX Exceed comes with a 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that returns some pep to the range that was lost when the low-selling 2.2-litre turbodiesel was discontinued in 2018..Australia’s top-selling small SUV, the Mitsubishi ASX is popular for its spacious interior, comfortable ride and, most of all, good value in terms of pricing and features.
PROS Punchier 2.4-litre engine, spacious interior, standard features
