| Can a throwback name with modern charm make the new Blazer a runaway hit? |
Another day, another reveal. Here’s the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer. I don’t think pictures of the red RS trim one do it full justice, but the white Premier trim one is very sharp! Lots of Camaro influence - though I think the large grille may take getting used to. The front reminds me of a modern Lexus mixed with Chevy's Traverse, Camaro, and the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe somewhat.
The 2019 Blazer will compete with the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano. Front wheel drive and two different all-wheel drive systems will be offered, along with two engines - a 2.5L four-cylinder with 193 HP and 188 lb.-ft. of torque and a 3.6L V6 with 305 HP and 269 lb.-ft. of torque. A 9-speed automatic transmission is standard. Blazer will release next year, bringing a lot of nostalgia and modern crossover flair with it.
Note: Honda is also expected to possibly revive the “Passport” name (last produced in 2002) as a new crossover to compete with the upcoming Blazer, Edge, and Murano. This midsize crossover segment has largely been stagnant in recent years... Until now.
