Chevrolet's toughest, most refined midsize sport utility vehicle, the TrailBlazer, made its global debut today at the opening of the Dubai International Motor Show in the Middle East. The robust seven-seat show vehicle previews Chevrolet's latest SUV offering, which will be sold around the world, beginning with Thailand in early 2012. (continued below)

The new-generation TrailBlazer combines the hauling and towing capability of
a body-on-frame SUV with the ride comfort and efficiency of a crossover.
Developed in tandem with the all-new Chevrolet Colorado pickup by GM in Brazil,
it shares the same architecture as its truck sibling, with a chassis tuned to
combine heavy-duty off-road capability with refined city driving.
The show vehicle features an all-wheel-drive system and is powered by GM's new
2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel engine, which features a variable-geometry
turbocharger for an optimal combination of performance and fuel economy.
"It is a reflection of the importance of the Middle East market for General
Motors that a vehicle as important as TrailBlazer is making its global debut at
this show," said GM Middle East Operations President and Managing Director John
Stadwick. "Without question, the new TrailBlazer will be one of the biggest and
toughest members of the Chevrolet family - the perfect vehicle to take on the
Middle East's competitive midsize SUV segment.
"Although this is a show vehicle, the overall design is faithful to the
production version that will arrive in Chevrolet showrooms next year.
TrailBlazer will be the ideal fit, not only for consumers in the Middle East,
but in every place around the world where it will be sold."
According to Brad Merkel, GM's global vehicle line executive for midsize trucks
and SUVs, TrailBlazer offers the strength, design, capability and refinement
needed to compete with the world's best off-road vehicles.
"The growing markets of the world want flexibility. That means power and
capability combined with comfort and efficiency," Merkel said. "TrailBlazer does
it all. You can tow anything, go anywhere, comfortably seat seven people, and do
so with the fuel efficiency associated with a smaller, less capable vehicle.
It's the complete package."
