2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer

[dct]

I like the Captiva but you're right it seems to overlap a lot with the trailblazer. I wish they let go of the captiva and create a wide segmentation on the trim levels of the trailblazer covering the captiva market as well.

parang sorento? hehe. hindi rin e. sa sobrang dami ng variants ng sorento, hindi nya alam san sya lulugar. from 1M-2M variants. plus, hindi masupplyan maayos ng dealers sa dami

The Sorento only has 3 variants now. 1.09M LX gas, 1.43M LX diesel, 1.79M EX diesel 7 seater.

I've gone to 3 different Kia dealers and yan lang meron sila. No more MT LX (1.23M).

yun nga sir. very misleading for the potential buyers. paasa in a way

In that case we're looking at a top spec priced at about 1.5m, I suppose? TCCCI wouldn't be crazy enough to create a big price overlap, or would they?

Definitely it wont be priced lower than the colorado. So it might be more expensive than the captiva here in PH.

Edit-ang mahal din pala ng captiva.haha. probably around same price ng captiva for the 4x2.

So for the same amount of money, I could either spend it on a Captiva or a Trailblazer? Tsk tsk.
What would you get?

Saw a white trailblazer. Will post pics when I have time.

I'm pretty sure that the trailblazer will be priced better than the Captiva. Captiva is more of a Sorento/SantaFe competitor. Unlike the trailblazer which is pick up based, so the trailblazer is competing with fortuner, montero, everest crowd.

These two segments overlap a bit but the Captiva, Sorento, Santa Fe is a bit more premium compared to the pick-up based SUVs.

didn't get to take pics of the side profile, it's boxed between two cars kasi. And sorry about the reflections can't get a proper angle to take the interior pic

[albert_b]

I guess this is at the headquarters of TCCCI at Buendia in Makati

[numbah5]

Guys don't worry. Chevrolet Greenhills (TCCCI owned dealer) SAs told me many times that the price range of the Trailblazer will be similar to the Montero Sport and Fortuner.

If you want a more car like ride and more niceties, get the Captiva. If you want a proper 7 seater SUV that you can bring to off road trails, get the Trailblazer.

[albert_b]

Reminds me of how Toyota positions the Rav4 with respect to the Fortuner.

'ber months na ... lapit na pasko ... sana nga magandang pamasko ng TCCCI sa ating lahat ang isang pagka-gwapong presyuhan para sa Trailblazer.

[albert_b]

Wow! Pwede na palang magpareserve. How much ang binigay na presyo, sir? O indicative pa din muna?

5k pesos ang reservation fee indicative pa rin, approximately 1.720M pesos. Might go up or go down

[albert_b]

The 1.7M is for the LTZ trim ba sir?

[numbah5]

The 1.7M is for the LTZ trim ba sir?

Yes that is for the LTZ variant.

[pacer]

Yes that is for the LTZ variant.

Sir numbah any leaked specs for the Philippine LTZ variant? Thanks

I'm not so sure about the final specs, but seeing the pics from the previous page or pervoius 2 pages, the Trailblazer has cruise control and it has the same HU as the Colorado. I'm hoping that before the launch, Chevrolet Philippines and its third party accessory supplier (Winterpine or Goldrich) will be able to change the HU into a 2 DIN DVD/TV/GPS HU in order to really compete with the Montero and the Fortuner.

I've been browsing thailand trailblazer club forum using google translate. Hindi perfect yung pag translate ng forum pero you can still decipher the gist of what they're saying. From there, I found this test drive video comparing the off-road capabilities of fortuner, montero, and trailblazer. (Chevy sponsored test drive yata eto)

Akala ko montero mangunguna per the research we have read before. If priced the same as the montero and fortuner, mukhang value for money nga ito. Wary lang kami sa parts and quality ng chevrolet, well at least from what we've heard and read. Instructive din sa thailand trailblazer club forum, yung thread about the problems encountered by members. If I remember correctly may nag cocomplain ng noisy engine, wind noise outside noticeably heard from inside of vehicle, and other parts and quality issues. Well no car is perfect naman, as long as tolerable lang yung imperfections. Anyway, we'll definitely wait for the trailblazer and feedback ng mga naunang bumili before deciding what suv to buy. Right now, mukhang top of the list ang trailblazer sa amin.
