HSV Trailblazer

The HSV Trailblazer was a rare and little-known project from Holden Special Vehicles, based on the Holden (and Chevrolet) Trailblazer SUV. Unlike HSV’s iconic sedans, coupes, and utes, the Trailblazer was an attempt to bring HSV’s sporty image into the growing SUV market. It featured cosmetic upgrades, HSV badging, and limited performance enhancements compared to HSV’s traditional V8-powered cars. Built in very small numbers, the HSV Trailblazer was more of a styling exercise than a full-fledged HSV performance model. Because of its limited production and unusual place in HSV’s lineup, the Trailblazer is today remembered as one of HSV’s most obscure vehicles.
