Chevrolet Trailblazer (facelift)
IndianCarsBikes has photographed the
upcoming 2016 Chevrolet Trailblazer (facelift) test mule in India. It’s
expected to replace the current Trailblazer is confirmed to launch within the
next 24 months, though a market introduction this financial year would seem
more likely.
The interior has been photographed for
the first time, which will look identical to the facelifted Trailblazer that
went on sale in Brazil last May. The black cloth covers an all-new dashboard
that is claimed to be trimmed with better materials.
As standard, it will come equipped with
an 8-inch MyLink infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
support, a slightly updated instrument cluster, and silver accents around the
central HVAC vents.
The camouflaged exterior offers a hint
of the changes up front. Identical to the Brazilian-spec Trailblazer, the model
to be introduced in India will feature sleeker headlamps with LED DRLs, wider
grille and a more aggressive bumper with larger foglamps. Rest of the exterior
appears to look largely similar to the model sold currently.
Under the hood will be the same
2.8-litre Duramax diesel engine producing 200 PS and 500 Nm of torque. A
6-speed automatic transmission is likely to be the only transmission option. A
mechanical change to note is the new EPAS (electric steering) system, which
should further ease maneuverability in city driving conditions.
