Last July 18, the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer and Tracker proved to be fuel efficient vehicles after an extensive highway test run with a total distance of 263.3 kilometers from Clark to TPLEX Rosario exit and back. The said models were driven under the following parameters to simulate realistic driving conditions:
- Total of two (2) passengers per vehicle with no heavy luggage
- Tires were set according to the factory-recommended tire pressure
- Vehicle speed maintained at 80-90 kilometers per hour (kph) on the highway with observation of traffic regulations and limits
Efficiently Blazing Trails
More than the striking exterior, generous space, creature comforts and advance technologies equipped in the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer, this compact SUV was also able to tick off fuel efficiency in its winning list of features after the Premier variant achieved an impressive 20.87 km/L in the conducted eco run with AAP.
Powered by the GM E-Turbo 1.3L DOHC Turbocharged engine matched with a New Generation Lightweight CVT with Multi-Mode Drive System, Engine Start/Stop System and Advanced Active Thermal Management, this compact SUV is capable of delivering 155 hp and 236 Nm of torque. These systems work together to provide an efficient fuel consumption without compromising the performance of the vehicle.
An efficient drive is even more pleasurable and safe with the wide array of driver assistance systems that are standard to the Trailblazer such as Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance indicator, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, 6 SRS airbags, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which can all be enjoyed on both the Premier and LT variants.
Right On Track
Another Chevy model that delivered an impressive performance in the fuel economy run is the Chevrolet Tracker Crossover SUV. This globally acclaimed model that boasts practical functionality in Chevy’s line of quality crossovers took it up a notch after achieving a remarkable 25.05 km/L fuel consumption.
Under the hood of this nifty crossover SUV is a 1.0L 3-Cylinder ECOTEC Turbocharged engine that powers up to 116 hp and 175 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and Active Thermal Management System that intuitively optimizes the engine performance and fuel efficiency. It is also equipped with Enhanced Stability Control systems and safety technologies that come standard on both the LS and LT Redline trims to ensure ease and comfort of everyone inside.
The Chevrolet Tracker truly offers an enjoyable ride with the crossover’s roomy interior and generous cargo space, modern technology and a fuel efficiency rating that’s almost as good as, or even better than a subcompact sedan.
