The Chevrolet Trailblazer continues to build upon its reputation as a stylish and versatile subcompact SUV, offering a range of interior options across its trim lineup. As buyers move up through the trim hierarchy, they’ll discover progressively more premium seating materials, enhanced comfort features, and distinctive design elements. Each trim level presents a unique interior experience that balances comfort, functionality, and aesthetics to suit different preferences and requirements.

LS Trim: Foundation of Comfort

The entry-level LS trim serves as the foundation of the Trailblazer lineup, offering a surprisingly comfortable and functional interior despite its position in the hierarchy. Seats in the LS are upholstered in durable Jet Black cloth material that features a subtle geometric pattern. This fabric can withstand daily use while maintaining its appearance over time.

The driver’s seat includes 6-way manual adjustment capabilities, allowing for basic customization of seating position. While the front passenger seat offers 4-way manual adjustments, both front seats provide adequate support for everyday driving. The rear bench features a 60/40 split-folding design with adjustable headrests, maximizing the balance between passenger comfort and cargo versatility.

Interior accent materials in the LS include textured plastic surfaces on the dashboard and door panels, complemented by satin silver trim pieces that add visual interest without appearing overly utilitarian. The flat-bottom steering wheel is wrapped in durable urethane material that provides a solid grip during everyday driving.

LT Trim: Enhanced Materials and Features

Moving up to the LT trim, Trailblazer owners will notice a significant upgrade in materials and available features. The standard seating upholstery is an upgraded premium cloth in either Jet Black or a two-tone Jet Black/Medium Ash Gray combination. This material features a refined weave pattern and improved cushioning for enhanced comfort during longer journeys.

The driver’s seat in the LT adds lumbar support to its 6-way manual adjustment capabilities, addressing one of drivers’ most common comfort concerns. The front passenger continues with 4-way manual adjustments, but both front seats can have heating functionality as part of the Comfort Package—a welcome feature during colder months.

Interior accent materials receive notable upgrades in the LT trim, with soft-touch materials appearing on key touchpoints including the upper dashboard and armrests. Chrome-accented interior door handles and colour-keyed trim pieces on the dashboard elevate the visual appeal, while the steering wheel gains a leather-wrapped cover that improves appearance and tactile quality.

ACTIV Trim: Rugged Sophistication

The ACTIV trim positions itself as the adventure-oriented option in the Trailblazer lineup, and its interior reflects this character with uniquely styled seats and materials. The standard upholstery features a distinctive leatherette and cloth combination in either Jet Black or a two-tone Jet Black/Almond Butter arrangement. This material not only offers a premium appearance but also provides increased durability for active lifestyles.

Both front seats in the ACTIV trim include heating as standard, while the driver benefits from 8-way power adjustments, including power lumbar support. This allows for precise customization of the seating position to suit a wide range of driver preferences and body types. The front passenger seat maintains 4-way manual adjustments but gains additional cushioning for improved comfort.

The ACTIV’s interior has unique design elements, including contrast stitching in a vibrant Arizona colour on the seats, steering wheel, and dashboard. Titanium chrome accents appear throughout the cabin, while distinctive ACTIV-branded all-weather floor liners come standard to protect the interior during outdoor adventures. The leather-wrapped steering wheel features a thicker rim and textured grip sections, reinforcing the trim’s active character.

RS Trim: Sport-Inspired Luxury

The RS trim represents the sportiest expression of the Trailblazer lineup, with an interior emphasizing performance-inspired design and premium comfort. The standard seating surfaces feature a sophisticated black leatherette material with distinctive red accents and contrast stitching that immediately signals the RS’s sporting intentions.

Both front seats are heated as standard, with the driver enjoying 8-way power adjustment, including power lumbar support. The RS trim exclusively offers the option of a 6-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, providing enhanced comfort for both occupants. The rear seats maintain the 60/40 split-folding functionality but receive upgraded padding and the same premium leatherette upholstery as the front seats.

Interior accent materials in the RS trim feature a unique flat-finished design with red accent trim pieces that coordinate with the seating surfaces. The leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel includes red contrast stitching and a prominent RS badge, while the instrument panel incorporates red-accented gauges. Piano black accents on the center console and door panels further distinguish the RS interior from other Trailblazer trims.

Available Interior Packages

Across most trim levels, Chevrolet offers additional interior packages that can further enhance the seating comfort and material quality:

• The Convenience Package (available on LT and above) adds a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel and automatic climate control for improved comfort regardless of external conditions.
• The Driver Confidence Package (available on LT and above) focuses on adjustability and awareness, adding an 8-way power driver seat and enhanced visibility features.
• The Premium Seating Package (available on ACTIV and RS) upgrades to perforated leatherette seats with additional bolstering and ventilation for the front seats—a rare feature in this vehicle segment that significantly enhances comfort in warmer climates.

The thoughtful progression of seat materials and comfort features across the Chevrolet Trailblazer trim lineup ensures buyers can find an interior that suits their budget and lifestyle requirements. From the durable cloth of the LS to the sport-inspired leatherette of the RS, each trim offers a distinct character while maintaining the practicality and versatility that Trailblazer owners expect.
