About the Trailblazer 2.8 CDTI 180

The 2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8 CDTI 180 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel saloon of 2,097 kg with 177 bhp, which works out at 84 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.50 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,624th quickest to 60 mph, and the 128th quickest of the 199 Chevrolets here. It leaves better than it pulls: 78.1 mph at the lights is only the 11,086th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8 CDTI 180 0-60 time?

The Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8 CDTI 180 reaches 60 mph in 9.70 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,624th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8 CDTI 180 quarter mile time?

17.23 s at 78.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.93 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.50 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8 CDTI 180 have?

177 bhp and 2,097 kg, which is 84 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8 CDTI 180?

Closest here on pace: Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.5 SKYACTIV-G 100 (9.73 s), Skoda Octavia 1.4 G-TEC 110 (9.73 s), Skoda Rapid 1.6 TDI 105 (9.61 s). Each one can be raced against the Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8 CDTI 180 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8 CDTI 180 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
