New 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer in Kearney, NE
Small SUV, big personality, zero excuses. The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer packs genuine style, available all-wheel drive, and family-grade practicality into a footprint that parks anywhere and starts around $23,300. Sharpened front and rear styling and fresh colors keep it looking current, while the cabin leads with a big 11-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and newly expanded standard safety features across the lineup. Choose the efficient 137-horsepower turbo or step up to the punchier 155-horsepower engine, and add AWD with a slick nine-speed automatic to any trim for true four-season Nebraska confidence. Sporty RS and adventure-styled ACTIV trims each bring their own attitude, and clever touches like a fold-flat front passenger seat let this little SUV swallow surprisingly long cargo. Explore our current Trailblazer inventory online or in person at Midway Chevrolet in Kearney, compare trims side by side, and meet the small SUV that lives genuinely large.
Attitude in a Parking-Friendly Package
Refreshed fascias, slim LED lighting, and available two-tone roof combinations give the Trailblazer presence far beyond its size. The RS leans sporty with dark accents and unique wheels, while the ACTIV goes rugged with off-road-inspired details. Either way, it is the small SUV people actually notice.
Clever Space, Big-SUV Tech
An 11-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto anchors a cabin full of smart ideas: a fold-flat front passenger seat for long cargo, rear seats that drop for 54.1 cubic feet of space, and upgraded materials that make this year’s Trailblazer feel a class above its price.
The 2026 Trailblazer: Small SUV, Full-Size Life
Most subcompact SUVs make you choose between price, personality, and practicality. The Trailblazer skips the compromise. The 2026 model arrives with lightly resculpted styling, richer standard materials, and a longer list of standard driver-assistance features, including automatic emergency braking and lane keep assist on every trim. LS and LT models pair the efficient 137-horsepower 1.2-liter turbo with returns of up to 31 mpg on the highway, while RS and ACTIV step up to the 155-horsepower 1.3-liter turbo with a stronger 174 lb-ft of torque.
The Trailblazer’s trump card over budget rivals, including its own Trax sibling, is available all-wheel drive. Add it to any trim for about $2,000 and you also get a responsive nine-speed automatic, turning this city-sized SUV into a legitimate four-season Nebraska machine for snowy school runs, icy commutes, and gravel-road shortcuts alike. That single option changes what a small SUV can be trusted to do.
Inside, the practicality per square foot is remarkable: 54.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume, split-folding rear seats, and a fold-flat front passenger seat that lets you slide in a ladder, a kayak paddle, or flat-pack furniture up to eight and a half feet long. Add the standard 11-inch touchscreen, available heated seats and steering wheel, and adaptive cruise control, and the Trailblazer delivers big-SUV living on a small-SUV budget. Compare RS and ACTIV personalities side by side at Midway Chevrolet in Kearney and drive home the one that fits your style.
