Chevrolet Blazer
The Blazer is available in four distinct trim levels, LT, RS and Premier, with several different equipment packages available on the LT trim. Power for the base model is provided by a turbo-charged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine producing 228 horsepower. An optional 3.6L V6 provides 308 horsepower and comes standard on the Premium and RS models, though it's also optional on the base model, provided the buyer springs for the correct option package. With each engine choice, power is sent to the wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available and comes standard on any Blazer also equipped with the turbo 4 cylinder and the bigger V6.
The Blazer is available with a ton of options, but even the most basic Blazer comes pretty-well equipped. Standard infotainment features include 6-speaker stereo, 10.2-inch color touchscreen, Bluetooth audio streaming, voice commands, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, four USB charging points, and 4.2-inch screen for the driver. Additional standard features include electronic locking glovebox, keyless entry with push button start, rearview camera, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, and HID headlights.
The Blazer RS gives buyers a bunch of other features headlined by an improved infotainment system that adds navigation, audio input jack, six USB ports, and SD card reader. Also standard on the RS include a bigger 8-inch screen in the driver's instrument panel, nicer interior ambient lighting, auto-dimming rearview mirror, 120-volt power outlet, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, built-in garage door opener, powered rear liftgate, 20-inch wheels, as well as a suite of driver assistance and safety programs, such as blind spot monitoring system, and rear cross traffic alert system.
Standard safety features include active lane departure, forward collision mitigation, and front pedestrian detection. While the higher-level trims add rear parking sensors, blind spot warning, and rear collision warning.
