Overview
For 2019, Chevrolet welcomes the beloved Blazer back to its lineup, but this isn’t the Chevrolet Blazer you remember. Value and reliability remain at the forefront of Chevrolet’s inspiration behind this all-new crossover, but new technology in safety and connectivity bring the Blazer into the future. With gas-sipping powertrain options and remarkable capability, the iconic Blazer has evolved to meet the needs of the modern driver.
The Perfect Ride for...
The urban adventurer. The 2019 Chevrolet Blazer is as versatile as it is stylish. The aggressive front bumper and headlight design give this crossover a distinct look that stands out among the ever-growing crowd of SUVs on the road. Powertrain and drivetrain options allow you to choose the perfect model for your driving style, whether you just need a great commuter vehicle or need more capability. Selectable drive modes further that versatility and the Blazer is equipped with great standard features, starting at $28,800.*
Drive & Handling
With advancements in fuel economy and power, it’s easier than ever to get the best of both worlds. The all-new Chevrolet Blazer comes with a standard Ecotec® 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that puts out up to 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque. For a little bump in performance, car shoppers can opt for the 3.6-liter V6, which makes up to 305 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission that ensures you always get optimal power and fuel efficiency.
Not only does the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer sip fuel, it also handles less like an SUV and more like a sports car, thanks to the standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control. This intelligent system works to reduce understeer, oversteer, and traction loss in a variety of driving conditions. It comes in handy in snow, mud, and gravel. To further enhance your SUV's grip, Traction Select allows you to choose driving modes based on road conditions.
Two different drivetrains are available, depending on your driving needs. For the casual driver, the two-wheel-drive model is the perfect option. For the driver that wants a little more adventure out of a crossover, the all-wheel-drive model delivers as well. Since the system can choose to send power to all of the wheels when necessary, the all-wheel-drive model provides ultimate versatility.
