![]() They handle pretty much the same, but the RS has a slightly firmer ride. It has unique badging in a few unique interior components. The RS has sportier wheels and rubber, along with a more streets oriented stance. Namely, exterior design, tires and wheels along with armor and a few suspension components. The major difference between the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer RS and the trailblazer Activ revolves around a few packaging components. The 2022 Chevy Trailblazer RS vs Trailblazer Activ The passenger’s seat fold flat, allowing for long items (surfboards, ladders – or temporary sleeping location), and the 25.3 ft³ behind the second row, and 54.4 cubic feet of cargo room is in-between the Jeep Renegade and Jeep Compass’ numbers. It looked pretty good in all black with red trim (stitching and whatnot), and it fit my large bottom beautifully. I didn’t mind the cloth with leatherette seat trim. The only leather you notice it the leather-wrapped steering wheel, which feels pretty sporty. The Bose seven-speaker audio system was good, but I would be happier with more power. Overall, the infotainment is easy to use, and the wireless Apple CarPlay (it has Android Auto too) came in handy. I thought the optional 4.2-inch diagonal Driver Information Center was hard to use, but the optional 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen was pretty good. The interior is well laid out with decent storage, well sorted seats and good backseat space. It’s more complimentary than the Blazer design at least to my eye. The mixture of Camaro and Silverado/ Tahoe influences work with a hint of whimsey throughout. They differentiate from each other just enough to make other’s know this is a unique ride. I think GM nailed the design on both the RS and Activ. Sure, they don’t necessarily compete with the Jeep Compass, or Ford Bronco Sport off-road, but the Trailblazer Activ can handle difficult roads with aplomb. On top of that, they are thrifty, utilitarian and (the Activ) is mighty capable in the rough. They are much less expensive than a Blazer, or an Equinox, but provide good content within. ![]() Let me explain: The higher end Trailblazers, both the Activ and the RS, represent a pretty good value proposition. I find it to be far too expensive, incapable of doing anything on dirt, and marginally attractive. Yes, yes – the Blazer is much more powerful and it handles well enough, and it has some great tech, but it’s not that impressive. (Image: TFLcar) The 2022 Chevy Trailblazer RS is a much more logical pick over its bigger Blazer brother.Īfter spending a lot of time with the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer RS, I came to the conclusion that it gives good bang for the buck, is kind of fun, utilitarian – and makes more sense than a bloated Blazer. This RS model was a kick to drive - and a remarkably good option for a small crossover. ![]()
