The Covenant Car Company, Inc. (TCCCI), the exclusive importer and distributor of Chevrolet vehicles and parts in the Philippines, recently conducted an economy run to test the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer and Tracker.
Under the auspices of the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP), the National Auto Club, the testing was done on July 18, 2022, covering a total distance of 263.3 kilometers from Clark to TPLEX Rosario exit and back. To simulate realistic driving conditions, the vehicles were driven under the following conditions:
- Total of two (2) passengers per vehicle with no heavy luggage
- Tires were set according to the factory-recommended tire pressure
- Vehicle speed maintained at 80-90 kilometers per hour (kph) on the highway with the observation of traffic regulations and limits
Efficiently Blazing Trails
More than the striking exterior, generous space, creature comforts, and advanced technologies, the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer compact SUV was also able to tick off fuel efficiency in its winning list of features after the Premier variant achieved an impressive 20.87 km/L in the official testing.
Powered by the GM E-Turbo 1.3L DOHC Turbocharged engine matched with a new generation lightweight CVT with Multi-Mode Drive System, Engine Start/Stop System, and Advanced Active Thermal Management, the Trailblazer delivers 155HP of power and 236Nm of torque
Aside from an efficient drive, standard to the Trailblazer are the following driver assistance systems: Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, 6 SRS airbags, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Right On Track
The other Chevy model that delivered an impressive performance in the fuel economy run is the Chevrolet Tracker Crossover SUV. This globally acclaimed model that boasts practical functionality achieved a remarkable 25.05 km/L fuel consumption.
Under the hood of the Tracker is a 1.0L 3-Cylinder ECOTEC Turbocharged engine that powers up to 116HP and 175Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and Active Thermal Management System that intuitively optimizes the engine performance and fuel efficiency. It is also equipped with Enhanced Stability Control systems and safety technologies that come standard on both the LS and LT Redline trims.
The Chevrolet Tracker offers an enjoyable ride with the crossover’s roomy interior and generous cargo space, modern technology, and a fuel efficiency rating that’s almost as good as, or even better than a subcompact sedan.

Albert B. Arcilla, president and CEO of Chevrolet Philippines – The Covenant Car Company Inc. “We are glad to offer fuel-efficient products in the Chevrolet line-up with the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer and Tracker.
