The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
This TrailBlazer is ready for the woods.
By John Matras, NewCarTestDrive.com
The TrailBlazer is one of the reasons so many people use a sport-utility in place of a car. It will do everything a car will do, and almost as well. Plus it adds almost unstoppable mobility in the worst weather and the capability to go where the roads don't. And of course, as the TrailBlazer, it now has the ability to take the Blazer line into a luxury market it has never before visited. A trailblazer it truly is. |
|
Overview:
|
The TrailBlazer is well named, giving the suggestion that this Chevrolet Blazer is going boldly where no Blazer has gone before. Indeed, with a retail price of $32,670, the TrailBlazer has scaled new heights for Chevy compact trucks. Yet despite being packed with amenities, the Blazer loses none of its off-road capabilities.
