That’s the most equivalent (if not a perfect alignment) to a mid-level Trailblazer LT model, which starts at $23,700 - a much more modest price difference.

The first Chevrolet Trailblazer was a big, rugged, traditional SUV with clumsy handling and lousy gas mileage. 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer Activ ・ Photo by Brady Holt
