Does Chevy Trailblazer have 7 seats?
No—the current Chevrolet Trailblazer is a five-passenger compact SUV and does not offer a built-in seventh seat. This article outlines the current seating arrangement and notes a historical variant that did provide more seating.
Current seating configuration
Before outlining the latest model details, here are the key points about how many people the modern Trailblazer can accommodate.
- Seating capacity: five passengers (two in the front and a rear bench that seats three).
- No third-row option in the current lineup; there is no factory seven-seat configuration.
- Trim levels and options do not change the overall seating count, though cargo space varies with rear-seat configuration and folded-down seats.
In summary, today’s Trailblazer remains a five-seat SUV with flexible cargo space rather than a seven-passenger family hauler.
Historical note: TrailBlazer EXT offered 7 seats
There was a past variant of Chevrolet’s lineup that did provide more seating. The TrailBlazer EXT featured an extended body and an optional third row, bringing capacity up to seven passengers in certain model years.
- Model years: early to late 2000s, when the EXT version was produced.
- Seating: included a third-row option to accommodate up to seven passengers.
- Current status: the TrailBlazer EXT is discontinued and is not part of Chevrolet’s current SUV lineup.
For buyers seeking seven seats in the Chevrolet family today, other models like the Chevrolet Traverse (up to eight seats) or larger options such as the Suburban (up to nine seats) are the appropriate choices.
Summary
Bottom line: The modern Chevy Trailblazer is five-seat, with no factory seven-seat option. A historical seven-seat variant existed briefly as the TrailBlazer EXT, but it is no longer in production. For seven-seat capacity in Chevrolet’s lineup, consider the Traverse or Suburban instead.
