For being smaller and more compact, the Trailblazer offers a higher roof which means adults in the back are going to be more comfortable.
The front passenger seat folds forwards, offering more utility for cargo space in the Trailblazer.
All safety, entertainment and comfort features that were optional on the previous trims are made standard on the Activ.

It comes equipped with a now standardized ECOTEC 1.3-liter turbo engine with variable valve timing, direct injection and stop and start technology. With it you’ll get 155 horses with 164 lb-ft of torque and an optional all-wheel-drive system. Previous engines on lower trims don’t have this option, making the Activ the best choice if you plan on going off road. It’s also going to get you 29 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway for estimated gas ratings.

TOP TIER-SAFETY FEATURES

With the Activ, you’re going to get the very top of the line safety features you could get on a Chevy making sure that you are taking care whether it be on the road or on the trail. Inside the Activ there’s forward collision alerts, following distance indicators, emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, parking assists and so much more that comes in Chevy’s standard safety suite. The thing is, you’re guaranteed this level of safety with any trim you choose. The Activ is meant for drivers who, well, want to get a little more active with their SUV – so the safety features you can find in this trim is meant to help with that.

The Activ has the availability to include an exclusive HD rear camera. If you plan on taking the Activ in the countryside or the road or try to navigate through a new city – this camera is an extra set of eyes on the road. Rear parking assists and lane changing alerts are also available on the Activ. All these special safety features ensure that the Activ is going to keep you safe no matter how many miles you put on it or how many cities you visit.

TRIM SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE ACTIV

There are some features on the Activ you won’t be able to find anywhere else on its lower trims. If you’re in need of any added capabilities that help the longer drives (or the shorter ones) feel more comfortable and potentially even more powerful, the Activ is the trim you need to take with you on your next trek. You’ll have all the great features that come from the LS and LT trims, such as hotspot, smartphone connection, tire pressure monitoring, teen driver assistance and steering wheel controls. But the Activ presents even more unique features such as an available technology package, a 7-speaker Bose Audio system, leatherette trim seats, remote start function and available wireless phone charging. This is only scraping the surface of what the Activ offers that is different from its trim counterparts to make every drive more comfortable.

2025 Chevy Bolt EV Preview

The Chevy Bolt EV has been known as a tech-advanced compact SUV that is all-electric for a great affordable price. However, GM had canceled production of the Bolt EV after the 2023 model. As of recently, the decision to cancel production was reversed, and the 2025 models of the Bolt EV and possibly the EUV will be in production soon. Let’s look at a few of the things you should anticipate coming with the 2025 Chevy Bolt EUV. Key Points The new Bolt EV should continue its futuristic style and practical interior The room of the Bolt EV should be the same or slightly bigger than the 2023 model The range and power of the new Bolt EV should increase with GM’s Ultim battery The estimated price range should be about $28,000–$32,000 Will there be a 2025 Chevy Bolt? Chevy will be making a 2025 Chevy Bolt EV. Though GM has not released information about the new Bolt EV, you should expect a similar design to the 2023 Bolt EV. The 2023 model has a futuristic style that is combined with an SUV body, and the 2025 Bolt EV should carry over the same look. You should expect the new Bolt EV to come with a unique wheel design, roof rails, an array of color options, LED headlights, and an aerodynamic body for a sleek and electric look. Will the new Bolt EV be roomy? The new Bolt EV should be at least as big as its 2023 counterpart; however, Chevy could add more room to the new EV. To give you dimensions, the rear seats should have at least 39.1 inches of legroom and about 16.3 cubic feet of cargo space, which is a great space for an electric SUV. With all the space, you should also expect an interior made with good materials that focus on functionality rather than luxury. To help with practicality, the Bolt EV should come with a 10.2-inch touchscreen, 8.0-inch customizable digital gauge cluster, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon’s Alexa, and Wi-Fi hotspot. You can also expect optional features like a heated steering wheel and Chevy’s Super Cruise, which is Chevy’s hands-free driving system. However, the Bolt EUV could come with more features that Chevy has not yet announced. How many miles can a Chevy Bolt EV go? The 2025 Chevy Bolt EV is expected to have a range of at least 247 miles, which is the range of the 2023 model; however, GM’s newest Ultim battery technology should increase this range significantly. The 2023 model comes with a 65.0 kWh lithium battery that has 200 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque, and you should plan on the 2025 Bolt EV to have this output at its minimum. However, with the new Ultim battery technology, the new Bolt EV can increase this output by a notable amount. Each new Bolt should come in FWD and have regenerative braking to help charge the battery, but these things could change as well. As for safety, the Bolt EV should come with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure assistance, optional adaptive cruise control, and optional Super Cruise. How much will the new Chevy Bolt EV cost? The MSRPs of the 2025 Chevy Bolt EV have not been released, but they should be like the given MSRPs of the 2023 Bolt EV: LT — $27,800 Premier — $32,300 Though these prices could change with enhanced features or updates that will come with the 2025 Bolt EV; furthermore, the new EV could come with new trims. Final Point The 2025 Chevy Bolt EV should come with improved changes that could change the game for this electric SUV. With the new Ultim battery tech, the new Bolt EV should offer better range and power. Along with its planned futuristic style, functional interior, and price-friendly cost, the new EV should be a strong competitor in the electric vehicle market. Stay tuned for updates to come soon.
