The 2013 Trailblazer will make its world premiere at next week's 33rd Bangkok International Motor Show (March 26 to April 8) in Thailand. General Motors said that it would go on sale around the world, beginning with Thailand in June.
Even though the Detroit automaker has not yet clarified if it will be offered in the States, there's a good chance it will as the Trailblazer is in essence the SUV variant of the new Colorado pickup truck that will be manufactured and sold in the U.S.
“True to its name, the Trailblazer will blaze the trail for new Chevrolet vehicles coming into the market," said Martin Apfel, president of GM Southeast Asia and Chevrolet Sales in Thailand. "It has been built tough to offer Chevrolet customers everything they need from a heavy-duty SUV,” he added.

Today, we have the first official photos of the pre-production study that will grace the floors of this week's 2011 Dubai International Motor Show.
In a similar fashion to the pre-production concept of the new Chevy Colorado midsize pickup truck upon which the Trailblazer is based, there are only a few elements that are purely show material such as the lights, bumper and alloy wheel designs along with certain trim pieces inside.
