Model History

2019-Present

Current Generation

The Blazer name was resurrected for an all-new SUV that slots between the compact Equinox and three-row Traverse. This midsized crossover model takes aim at the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano, five-passenger midsized SUVs that focus more on styling and luxury and less on utility. Four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines are available. The Blazer rides and handles well, it's quiet, and the V6's power delivery is smooth. Controls are easy to use but the low dash vents hurt air distribution. In 2022 advanced safety features such as forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance became standard on all trims. A 10-inch infotainment screen became standard on 2023 models and heated seats became standard in 2024.

1995-2018

1995 Redesign Year

The Blazer's brakes were inferior and the body leaned a lot in hard cornering in CR testing. The 1998 models received better brakes, but still had cumbersome handling, a so-so ride, and sloppy fit and finish. The Blazer also received a "Poor" rating in an IIHS offset-frontal crash test. The 4.3-liter-V6 engine feels lively, but fuel economy is poor even by the paltry standards of the class. The newer TrailBlazer, which essentially replaced the Blazer, arrived in 2001. More recent Blazers were mostly in rental fleets.
