Chevrolet is planning to get its SUV Trailblazer in India

Chevrolet is planning to get its new SUV,  Trailblazer, in India. Slated to compete with the likes of the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour, this body-on-frame SUV will powered by a choice of 2.8-litre with 180bhp or 2.5-litre, 150bhp diesel units. The larger is 2.8 common-rail diesel makes a very strong 47.8 Kgm, incidentally 10kgm up on both the 3.0-litre Fortuner and Endeavour.

The Trailblazer is an attractive looking SUV and the company says it will be the most clean-sheet truck it has designed in its 100-year history. On the inside too, the SUV is expected to have more space than the Endeavour and the Fortuner. Chevy claims the Trailblazer will sport car-like features and will be a proper seven seater.

GM is hoping to assemble the Trailblazer at its Halol facility, where it currently carries out all its CKD operations. We expect the SUV to be priced around Rs 17 lakh.
