Gebruikte Chevrolet Trailblazer in Dubai

A used Chevrolet Trailblazer in Dubai can be one of three quite different vehicles, and the badge on the tailgate does not tell you which. The name went on a big American SUV with a straight six in the early 2000s, then on a Thai built seven seat 4x4 with a V6 that sold here through the 2010s, and since 2021 on a compact crossover with a small turbo engine. The year in the title tells you which.

Most people looking at a second hand Chevrolet Trailblazer want the middle one, the body on frame seven seater, because it does the Fortuner's job for less money. The sections below cover the Chevrolet Trailblazer price in Dubai and what moves it, the badges, the three regional specs you will meet, what to look at underneath, and how the paperwork and finance run.

Chevrolet Trailblazer price in Dubai and what moves a used one

The Chevrolet Trailblazer price in UAE listings runs across a wide band because the three generations sit in different classes. A 2012 to 2020 seven seater is priced on year, mileage and whether it is a two wheel drive LT or a four wheel drive LTZ or Z71. The 2021 onwards crossover is priced like a compact crossover, so a 2022 crossover can cost about the same as a 2018 LTZ. The early 2000s truck is old enough that condition is the whole price.

The live listings are the price guide, and the heading above shows the entry figure on the day. A low number always has a reason: an American spec import, a fleet history, an accident repair, or a third row that has done a school run every day for eight years. Read the used Chevrolet Trailblazer Dubai listings one model year at a time and the outliers explain themselves.

Three generations: which Trailblazer are you actually buying

The first Trailblazer sold from 2002 to 2009. It is a full size American SUV with a 4.2 litre straight six petrol engine, a four speed automatic and rear or four wheel drive, sold as LS, LT and LTZ. The Japanese spec 2006 LTZ that turns up on OneClickDrive is one of these: cheap, thirsty and simple.

The second Trailblazer is the one the Gulf knows. Built in Thailand from around 2012 and sold here until about 2020, it is a body on frame seven seater on the Colorado pickup's chassis. GCC cars came with a 3.6 litre V6 petrol and a six speed automatic, in two or four wheel drive, as an LT or an LTZ, and the 2017 facelift added the Z71 pack on the four wheel drive car. A Chevrolet Trailblazer 7 seater from this run is what most buyers here mean by the name.

The third Trailblazer arrived for 2021 and shares nothing with the second beyond the name. It is a Korean built five seat crossover, front or all wheel drive, with a 1.3 litre turbocharged three cylinder engine, badged LS, LT, RS, Activ or Premier. A Chevrolet Trailblazer 2021, 2022 or 2023 listing is this car, and the 2022 American spec one listed here is a good example.

LT, LTZ and Z71, then LS, RS, Activ and Premier: reading the badge

The badge sets the equipment level and, on the seven seater, usually the drivetrain.

• A Chevrolet Trailblazer LT from the 2012 to 2020 run is the volume car, with cloth seats, a smaller screen and very often two wheel drive.
• The Chevrolet Trailblazer LTZ adds leather, the larger touchscreen, a reversing camera, alloy wheels and usually four wheel drive, and it is the one families kept from new.
• A Chevrolet Trailblazer Z71 is an LTZ with tougher looking bumpers, the badges, darker wheels and a raised stance, and it holds its value hardest because there are fewer of them.
• On the crossover, LS and LT are the plain cars, the Chevrolet Trailblazer RS is the sporty looking one with black trim and larger wheels, Activ is the same car with a rugged look, and Premier is the leather and equipment version.
• A Chevrolet Trailblazer 2022 in RS or Activ form may have all wheel drive, which brings a conventional automatic instead of the continuously variable gearbox on the front drive car, so ask which one the car has.

GCC spec, Japanese spec and American spec on a second hand Trailblazer

All three generations arrive from somewhere, so the regional spec matters. A GCC spec seven seater was sold new by the Chevrolet dealer here, has the heavy duty cooling, and insurers price it normally. A Japanese spec first generation car, like the 2006 LTZ listed, came through the auction route, usually with an auction sheet that grades the body and records the odometer.

An American spec car, which is what most 2021 onwards crossovers here are, is an import with a customs card behind the Mulkiya and a history you reconstruct from a vehicle history report by chassis number. Some insurers decline non GCC cars or load the premium, so get an insurance quote on the chassis number before you agree a price. The warranty that came with an American car does not transfer here, so any cover on an import is a dealer's own or a paid extended warranty.

Seven seats, towing and the school run: who buys a used Trailblazer

The buyer for the seven seater is usually a family that has looked at a Fortuner and a Prado and found them dear for the year. The Trailblazer gives the same layout, a ladder chassis and a third row adults can use for a short trip, and the trade off is heavier fuel use and a plainer cabin. The Trailblazer car of choice for fleets was the two wheel drive LT, so a Chevrolet Trailblazer used as a company car for five years, with a company Mulkiya and a high reading, is a normal thing to find and is priced accordingly.

Towing is the other reason people bought the second generation. A towing history shows up on a used one as tired rear suspension and a fitted trailer socket. The crossover buyer wants a raised driving position, a modern cabin and low fuel bills, and does not need a third row.

What to check on a used Trailblazer before you pay

A proper inspection covers the chassis on the older two generations and the small engine on the new one.

• Get the seven seater on a ramp and look at the chassis rails for straightness, fresh underseal and any welding, because a body on frame SUV that has been hit hard can be pulled straight and repainted without the panels showing it.
• Start the 3.6 litre V6 from cold and listen for a rattle in the first seconds, then ask for the service history and the oil change intervals, since the timing chain on this engine does not like long gaps between changes.
• Drive the six speed automatic through every gear and feel for a flare between changes, and ask when the transmission fluid was last done.
• Check the air conditioning at the rear vents with the third row up, since the rear evaporator is the part that fails and the one people skip.
• On the 2021 onwards crossover ask for the oil change invoices on the 1.3 litre turbo engine, because a small turbo engine run on stretched intervals is the expensive failure on that car, and drive it long enough for the continuously variable gearbox to warm up and show any shudder.
• On any import, run the chassis number through a history report and compare the odometer with the auction sheet or the report.
• Match the chassis number under the bonnet to the Mulkiya before you talk money.

Why buy a used Chevrolet Trailblazer through OneClickDrive

OneClickDrive lists the seven seaters, the older trucks and the new crossovers side by side, from dealers and from private sellers, and every used car Chevrolet Trailblazer listing carries the year, the badge, the regional spec, the mileage and the seller's name. The message goes straight to the seller, and the price is the seller's own, because the marketplace takes no commission and adds no booking fee or markup.

That matters on a Trailblazer because the private seller usually has the better story to tell: one owner, dealer serviced, a tow bar never fitted. A dealer car may bring an inspection report and a short warranty of its own, and the listing says so where it exists. Resale is the same deal in reverse: a private owner lists the Trailblazer here for free and pays nothing when it sells, and dealers sit on a plan instead of paying per car.

Where to find a Chevrolet Trailblazer for sale in Dubai and across the UAE

Every used Chevrolet Trailblazer for sale in Dubai on OneClickDrive sits on one list, and the filters take it down to a year, a badge or a spec in two taps. The seven seaters cluster with the dealers who handle American trucks, the first generation cars are mostly private sales, and the crossovers are usually recent imports with a dealer behind them.

Widen the net when Dubai runs thin. The used Chevrolet Trailblazer in Sharjah page carries its own stock, and a used Chevrolet Trailblazer for sale in UAE listing outside Dubai is often a fleet disposal priced to move. Chevrolet Trailblazer UAE buyers who want the wider family should also open the Chevrolet Captiva, the front wheel drive seven seater, the Chevrolet Tahoe, the Chevrolet Traverse, and the Chevrolet hub. A Toyota Fortuner and a Mitsubishi Pajero are what a seven seater Trailblazer is priced against, and a Hyundai Creta is the crossover's nearest rival.

Finance, EMI and a used Trailblazer with no down payment

The finance shape follows the generation. A 2021 onwards crossover is young enough for a full term loan at any bank, with an estimated EMI shown under the listing. A 2016 to 2020 seven seater finances on a shorter term, and the bank will want a GCC spec car or a properly registered import. Older cars are mostly cash, because the age at the end of the term rules them out or the sum falls under the bank's minimum loan.

OneClickDrive works with Emirates NBD (ENBD) to provide car loan pre-approval within 24 hours, as long as you meet the bank's eligibility criteria. The listing marks the selected cars that qualify. A down payment is the normal ask, and a no down payment deal exists for some buyers on some cars through a dealer's own bank arrangement, so ask before you assume. If the seller still owes on the car, their bank issues a liability letter with the settlement figure, gets paid, and then issues the clearance certificate that frees the Mulkiya for transfer.

Paperwork to put a Trailblazer in your name

The transfer is quick at an RTA centre or through the app once the papers line up.

• Bring your Emirates ID and a valid UAE driving licence, and the seller brings theirs with the original Mulkiya.
• The car needs a passing test if the registration is due, and a seven seater with aftermarket bumpers can fail on modifications, so ask the seller to test it first.
• Clear every fine on the plate before the transfer, because the RTA system blocks the change of ownership until the fines are paid, and agree in writing who pays them.
• Buy the insurance in your name on the chassis number before the appointment, since the transfer will not go through without a valid policy.
• An American spec car should come with its customs card, and a Japanese spec car with the auction sheet if the seller still has it.
• If the seller's bank still holds the car, the liability letter and the clearance certificate come first.
