Does the Chevy Trailblazer come with leather seats?

Yes, leather seats are offered on higher trims of the Chevy Trailblazer, but base models typically come with cloth seats. Availability depends on model year and regional configuration, so check the exact build for the trim you’re considering.

What to expect by trim and year

The upholstery options for the Trailblazer vary by trim level and model year. This guide reflects the general pattern seen in recent releases, though exact configurations can change with redesigns or regional packages.

• Base trim (often called LS or similar): standard cloth seats. Leather is not included in the base configuration.


• Mid-range trims: typically start with cloth, with leatherette or leather-appointed seating offered as an optional upgrade or as part of a detailed package, depending on the year and market.


• Sporty or premium trims: leather-appointed seating becomes more common as a standard or widely available option, though real leather may still be department-specific and varies by year.


• Top trim (often Premier): leather-appointed seating is most commonly standard, with leather or leatherette surfaces included in the preferred package or as standard equipment in many markets.

The exact upholstery choices for each trim can shift with a model-year refresh and can differ by region. To be sure, use Chevrolet’s official configurator for your year and location or ask a local dealer for the precise seat materials included with each trim.

How to confirm for your vehicle

To verify whether a specific Trailblazer has leather seating, review the vehicle’s window sticker (Monroney) or the dealer’s build sheet. If you’re shopping used, consult the original listing or dealer records for upholstery details and option codes that indicate leather-appointed or leatherette seating.

Why the upholstery matters

Seat material affects comfort, maintenance, price, and resale value. Leatherette is common in GM’s small SUVs and offers a more durable alternative to real leather, while genuine leather is typically reserved for higher trims or special packages.

Summary

Leather seating is available on the Chevy Trailblazer, but it is not universal. Base models come with cloth, while higher trims—especially the top-tier Premier—often feature leather-appointed seating or leatherette as part of standard or optional packages. Always verify the exact upholstery for the model year and market you’re considering by checking the official configurator or consulting a dealer.

Does Chevy use real leather seats?

What are the downsides of the Trailblazer?

But the issues remained—engine, transmission and electrical problems were common, and combined with braking issues, poor fuel level sensors, rear light issues and climate control problems, the Trailblazer saw one of its worst model years.

What's the difference between a Trailblazer LT and a Trailblazer RS?

The main differences are that the Trailblazer RS includes more features like a sportier design with 19-inch gloss black wheels, a 1.3L turbo engine, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a hands-free liftgate. The LT comes standard with the less powerful 1.2L engine but includes some features like remote start and heated mirrors. Essentially, the RS is the sportier, higher-end model with more standard upgrades, while the LT is the more affordable, entry-level choice with fewer features.
