DeKalb Sycamore Chevrolet - Why the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer’s Big-Screen Tech and Smart Cargo Just Work in Rockford, IL

If you spend your days bouncing between work, school, kids’ activities, and weekend errands, a compact SUV that thinks ahead can make all the difference. The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer builds its value around clarity and flexibility—starting with the standard 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen and carrying through to a cabin that reconfigures quickly. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ connect without cords, so maps, music, and calls are ready the moment you set off. And when your day’s plans change, the fold-flat front passenger seat opens the door to long items up to 8.5 feet in length, turning a small footprint into a surprisingly capable hauler.

Tech should simplify your routine, not add steps. That’s why key features like push-button start, an HD Rear Vision Camera, and a clear 8-inch diagonal Driver Information Center come standard. Want richer sound and less clutter? Add the available Bose audio system and available wireless charging. For those who follow the seasons, available AWD and three drive modes adapt to rain, snow, and gravel without fuss. If you want a trim with extra personality, ACTIV adds off-road suspension tuning and a functional skid plate, while RS dials up the sport look with 19-inch high-gloss Black machined-aluminum wheels and a heated, wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel.

  • Standard display: 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen puts apps and info front and center.
  • Phone integration: Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ streamline your drive.
  • Smart charging: Available wireless charging keeps cables out of sight.
  • Premium audio: Available Bose system brings clarity and depth to every playlist.
  • Cargo flexibility: Fold-flat front passenger seat allows up to 8.5 feet of max cargo length.
  • Access made easy: Available hands-free power liftgate simplifies loading.
  • All-weather poise: Available AWD and three drive modes enhance confidence.

How does this all come together day to day? Picture a morning commute where your route, calendar, and podcasts load instantly, followed by a quick stop to pick up supplies that slide in lengthwise with the front seat folded flat. After work, the available hands-free power liftgate saves time when your hands are full. On weekends, dial in traction with available AWD and three drive modes, then set your soundtrack with Bose. It is a simple recipe: big-screen clarity, natural ergonomics, and a cabin that adjusts to life’s curveballs.

For shoppers who want a trim that reflects their style, the lineup makes it easy. ACTIV adds a rugged twist with specific suspension tuning and a functional skid plate, while RS embraces a sporty attitude with a high-gloss Black mesh grille, signature wheels, and steering wheel details that feel right the moment you grip them. Both offer available AWD and benefit from the confidence of Chevy Safety Assist, including Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®.

DeKalb Sycamore Chevrolet GMC is committed to helping you find the features that matter most—whether that’s everyday convenience, weekend capability, or a bit of both—serving Rockford, North Aurora, and Kingston.
