City Chevrolet Of Grayslake – 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS – Sporty Confidence for Everyday Drives around Grayslake, IL

When an SUV looks this sharp and feels this composed, weekday routines and weekend plans both get a welcome upgrade. The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS blends an assertive stance with everyday comfort, pairing its ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine and dual-outlet exhaust with a premium cabin anchored by an 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen. The result is a small SUV that behaves like a bigger one—confident, connected, and adaptable—without losing the maneuverability that makes city runs and tight parking simple. The high-gloss Black mesh grille with RS badging, 19-inch high-gloss Black machined-aluminum wheels, and available two-tone roofline set a confident tone before the drive even begins.

Inside, RS earns its reputation for driver-focused design. The heated, wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel delivers a sport-true grip, while available Red interior accents lift the atmosphere in a way a black-on-black cabin never can. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility come standard, so the smartphone simply becomes part of the interface, and the 8-inch diagonal Driver Information Center keeps essential data a glance away. Chevy Safety Assist brings six advanced driver assistance features standard, including Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. Add available AWD and three drive modes, and RS feels prepared for those midwestern weather pivots that turn a sunny commute into a slick ride home.

  • Powertrain: ECOTEC® 1.3L Turbo engine for responsive, efficient thrust in town and on the highway.
  • Wheels: Statement-making 19-inch high-gloss Black machined-aluminum wheels with athletic grip and presence.
  • Steering: Heated, wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel that enhances feel, control, and cold-weather comfort.
  • Connectivity: Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ with an 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen.
  • Driver Assistance: Chevy Safety Assist with six confidence-boosting standard features.
  • Traction: Available AWD and three drive modes to match changing road and weather conditions.
  • Cargo: Fold-flat front passenger seat enabling up to 8.5 ft. of max cargo length for long items.

RS is more than a styling package; it’s a holistic upgrade that makes a busy day easier. The available Hands-Free Power Liftgate streamlines loading when arms are full, while wireless charging keeps the cabin free from charge-cord clutter. Consider the available Bose® audio system if clear, balanced soundtrack quality matters during longer commutes or weekend getaways. And because visibility and awareness count everywhere from suburban streets to crowded lots, the HD Rear Vision Camera remains a daily ally.

For shoppers who want to pair sharp design with technology that fades into the background and simply works, RS hits the target. It elevates what the Trailblazer already does well—smart space, approachable tech, and year-round confidence—and adds the sharper attitude and tactile upgrades that make driving feel a little more special. City Chevrolet Of Grayslake is proud to help match drivers to the right combination of features for their routines, serving Volo, Antioch, and Grayslake with expertise and care.
