How many people can fit in a Trailblazer?

A Trailblazer accommodates up to five people in its standard two-row configuration.


The question concerns the current generation of Chevy Trailblazer models, including the gas-powered versions and the Trailblazer EV. All current Trailblazer variants use two front seats and a three-person rear bench, and there is no third row offered. This means five passengers is the maximum across typical trims.


Standard seating arrangement


To understand how five passengers fit in a Trailblazer, it helps to know how the seats are laid out.



  • Front row: 2 seats (driver and front passenger)

  • Rear row: 3-seat bench (accommodates three passengers)


With this standard layout, five people can ride in comfort, and the rear bench folds to increase cargo space when fewer occupants are aboard.


Variations by model and notes on seating


All contemporary Trailblazer trims share the same two-row, five-passenger layout, and none offer a third row or captain’s chairs as part of the factory configuration. This includes both the gas-powered Trailblazer models and the Trailblazer EV.



  • Seating capacity across trims remains five passengers

  • No official factory option for a third row or alternative rear seating configuration


In practice, the five-passenger setup is consistent across the lineup, with rear seats designed as a 3-seat bench to maximize passenger space without expanding to a third row.


Practical considerations for families and cargo planning


When five people are aboard, cargo capacity behind the rear seats is reduced compared to when the rear bench is folded or when fewer passengers are traveling. The Trailblazer’s two-row design prioritizes passenger space and versatility, enabling comfortable seating for a small family or group while still offering practical cargo flexibility.


Summary


In short, a Trailblazer can seat up to five people. The standard arrangement is two front seats and a three-person rear bench, with no option for a third row in current models, including the Trailblazer EV. This seating configuration is consistent across the lineup, making five the maximum passenger capacity.
