After the new 2013 Chevrolet Trailblazer made its world premiere this week at the 33rd Bangkok International Motor Show in Thailand, GM took the opportunity to release some new photos as well as local pricing for its body-on-frame SUV that is based on the Colorado pickup truck.
The new Chevy SUV, which as you may remember, won’t be offered in North America, is available for order in Thailand where it is built with prices ranging from at THB 1,059,000 to THB 1,489,000 (US$34,400 to US$48,400).
“The Trailblazer has received a very positive response, based on feedback from our online channels, since its world debut last week,” said Antonio Zara, Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Aftersales, GM Thailand/SEA and Chevrolet Sales Thailand.
“The Trailblazer combines toughness and capability of an exclusively designed midsize SUV with boasting interior spaciousness, maximum comfort from 3-row / 7-seater interior layout, superior vehicle ride and handling. It also spearheads Chevrolet’s entry into the SUV-D segment for the first time in Thailand and in the region,” Zara added.
Engine options in Thailand include two diesel units, a 2.5-liter engine with 148hp (150PS) and 258 lb-ft (350Nm), and a 2.8-liter engine rated at 177hp (180PS) and 346 lb-ft (470Nm) of torque.
Aside from Asia, the new Trailblazer will also be available in Australia as the Holden Colorado SUV, the Middle East and other markets around the world with country-specific details to be announced later in the year.
