The LTZ gets the LT’s Apple Car Play and Android Auto, shift-on-the-fly 4WD and a rear view camera, as well as integrated satnav, blind spot alert, forward collision alert and leather appointed seat trim. It has 18-inch alloy wheels.

The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine punches out 147kW at 3600rpm and its big-gun 500Nm at 2000rpm and is well-matched to a six-speed automatic transmission.

Black leather-appointed trim give this Trailblazer’s otherwise basic but functional interior a nice touch of class.

All Trailblazers have a five-star ANCAP rating.

For a features-packed and off-road-capable unit, the Trailblazer can hold its own against its rivals and is the sweet pick from this three-model range.

He has since worked as a journalist for more than 20 years in Australia, London and Cape Town and has been an automotive journalist for 18 years. This bloke has driven and camped throughout much of Australia – for work and play – and has written yarns for pretty much every mag you can think of. The former editor of 4X4 Australia magazine, Marcus is one of the country’s most respected vehicle reviewers and off-road adventure travel writers.
