2019 Chevy Blazer Specs: A Closer Look

Originally published June 2018.

Atlanta, GA – We knew the new Chevy Blazer was coming. And had a hunch the styling would be a huge departure from what we’d expect, considering we haven’t heard the Blazer nameplate since 2005, and that GM is on a tear completely revamping their SUV and crossover lineup with sleeker-looking, tech-focused offerings. Including Chevy’s entire SUV lineup. We were right.

New Blazer’s Bold Design and Exterior Dimensions

The mid-size 2019 Chevy Blazer will arrive early next year, slotted between the small Chevy Equinox and the larger Chevy Traverse. It’s bold, sleek, and frankly looks like a Chevy Camaro in an SUV guise – and that’s definitely not a bad thing – sporting a strong front grill and brawny proportions.

As Chevy puts it, “It looks commanding on the road, while fulfilling the promise of versatility at the heart of every Chevy crossover and SUV.”

Riding on standard 18-inch aluminum wheels with optional 21-inch for the RS and Premier trims, the redesigned Blazer’s long, lean, and sculpted body sides lead to a rear end highlighted by LED-illuminated Chevy-signature dual-element taillamps, dual exhaust outlets, and an integrated tailgate spoiler.

And that front grill is huge paired with those skinny, low-placed HID headlamps similar to the Camaro and some recent Jeep crossovers as well.

2019 Blazer RS, Premier and other trims

Available in either sportier RS or more luxury Premier trims, the new 5-passenger Blazer will come with a Chevy-first cargo management system with a rail system and cargo fence; there’s no removable roof like Blazers of the past, replaced now by an available panoramic dual-pane power sunroof.

2019 Blazer Horsepower and Engine Options

All new Blazers get power from a standard 2.5L engine with an optional 3.6L V6 powerplant capable of 2,041 kilograms (4,500 lbs.) estimated max trailering; both engines are paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission and available advanced twin-clutch AWD system.

The standard 2.5L will only produce 193 hp and 188 lb-ft of torque, while the 3.6L V6 ramps it up to 308 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque; both direct-injected engines feature intelligent stop/start technology that seamlessly shuts off the engine when power is not needed.

Engine Options:

But as the Chevy Blazer’s chief engineer puts it, “Both the Ecotec 2.5L four-cylinder engine and 3.6L V-6 engine are paired to Chevrolet’s nine-speed automatic transmission, providing drivers a great balance between performance and efficiency.” We’ll review the new Blazer ourselves and provide our own feedback on this.
