2022 Chevy Trailblazer has spunky styling and performance to match

This small SUV looks rugged and offers plenty of scoot thanks to its torquey, turbocharged three-cylinder engine.

Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

This engine is choppy at idle but smooths out as speeds increase.
