How many passengers are in a Trailblazer?

The Trailblazer seats five passengers.


The Chevrolet Trailblazer is a compact SUV designed to carry up to five people across two rows. This article explains the standard seating capacity, how the seats are arranged, and whether any factory options change the number of passengers it can accommodate.


Current seating capacity


Below are the key seating details for the latest Trailblazer models:



  • Standard seating: five passengers (two front seats and a three-person rear bench).

  • Two rows of seating; there is no factory third row.

  • Rear seats typically use a 60/40 split to balance passenger space with cargo flexibility.


In practice, the Trailblazer provides room for a small family or group of friends, with the ability to fold the rear seats to increase cargo space when needed.


Notes on variations and future models


Do all trims seat five?


Yes. In the current generation, the Trailblazer’s factory seating capacity remains five across trims. There is no widely offered, factory-supported four-passenger configuration in recent models. If you encounter a dealership or aftermarket claim of a four-seat setup, verify whether it refers to a non-standard arrangement or aftermarket modification.


Summary


The Chevrolet Trailblazer is designed to seat five passengers by default, with two front seats and a rear bench for three. It provides two rows (no third row) and flexible cargo space through a split rear bench, making it a practical option for small families and groups seeking compact-SUV versatility.
