Mid size SUV segment in India is certainly one of the most competitive segment in the Indian automobile market. Now as Ford has just launched the new generation Endeavour, which looks like a beautiful beast, the competition will rise to another level. There is no prize for saying that, the Toyota Fortuner is the most popular and best sold car in the segment. Now we have another close contender christened as Chevrolet Trailblazer, and both the Fortuner and Trailblazer is considered as the toughest rivals against new Endeavour.

In my personal opinion, the new Endeavour looks muscular and butch yet much more stylish than its close rivals. Toyota and Chevrolet has other reasons to fear the new Endeavour, and one of which is the pricing. Yes, Ford has kept the pricing lower than both the rivals. Certainly one hell of a strategy to win SUV lover’s hearts in a price sensitive country. We have already given you a detail comparison between the Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner based on the specification sheet. Now, let’s take a look at the fight between Ford Endeavour and Chevrolet Trailblazer, two rugged and muscular American SUVs present in Indian market.

Chevrolet tried different ways to make their mark in the Indian market but somehow their attempt failed to impress the customers. They already have tried their hands on the small car segment without much of a success and then there is the popular compact sedan segment which is flooded by many competitors Chevrolet tried their hands on this segment too with the same result. Lastly the MPV segment which came into existence not so long ago but became popular quickly, Chevrolet was one of the very first auto manufacturers who entered this segment with their product Enjoy but this too failed to win hearts of people.

Recently Chevrolet made a wise decision of exploring an unexplored segment of Indian auto industry which does not really have too much competition and announced that they will launch the Trailblazer SUV in India towards the end of the year 2015. Now it was already spotted being tested on Indian roads couple of times with camouflage. The Trailblazer will sit on top of the Chevrolet lineup and will compete directly with the other popular SUV’s Like the Toyota Fortuner, Hyundai Santa Fe and the upcoming Ford Endeavour SUV.

The Chevrolet Trailblazer gets a powerful diesel engine under its hood. The 2.8 Litre diesel unit is capable of producing an impressive amount of power and torque, this engine is paired to a six speed automatic transmission. This transmission promises to deliver an optimal balance of power and fuel economy.

According to the recent reports GM India declared that they will be launching two new exclusive models in the Indian market both this year and the next.

General Motors would be globally unveiling the 2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer at the Bangkok Motor Show next week. First previewed as a concept at last year’s Dubai International Motor Show, there is every chance that the Trailblazer will come to India either in the end of 2012 or in the beginning of next year. When launched, the SUV will compete with the Toyota Fortuner and the Ford Endeavour.

Manufacturers aren’t allowing their competitors to get an inch on them. The reaction to the BMW X6 being a case in point. BMW’s Sports Activity Vehicle took the market by storm and its competitors responded by announcing plans of making similar niche vehicles. Both Audi and Mercedes have been working on an X6 beater which is expected to be out in 2014. A similar case is of the Toyota Fortuner which since its launch in 2009 has been quite literally a runaway success. Waiting periods have stretched for over 6 months at times and none of Toyota’s competitors had foreseen or anticipated such a demand for a butch looking SUV priced around 20lakhs. The Fortuner’s success has prompted Mitsubishi to launch their Triton pickup truck based Pajero Sport in India in 2012 and Chevrolet is expected to flow suite by launching the TrailBlazer, which like its competitors is a body-on-frame SUV built atop the same frame as the Colorado pickup. No official statement has come out of General Motors India confirming the SUV’s plans for India but Chevrolet has debuted the all-new 2012 Trailblazer at the Dubai International Motor Show. Prices for the SUV would be around 22lakhs so that it can head-on take the Fortuner.
