2023 Chevrolet Blazer review

1. Lively engines

The 2023 Chevrolet Blazer is a sporty midsize SUV offering two energetic engine options: a turbocharged 2L four-cylinder with 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque or a 308-hp V6 with 270 lb-ft of torque. Both engines connect to a nine-speed automatic transmission with smooth-shifting capabilities. Front-wheel drive is standard, or you can add available all-wheel drive for extra traction in slick conditions. Both engines offer brisk acceleration, but the V6 provides more oomph for passing and merging on the highway.

2. Muscle car good looks

Are you looking for a midsize SUV with classic muscle car styling? The 2023 Chevrolet Blazer packs some serious personality, drawing inspiration from the iconic Chevy Camaro. This SUV delivers on-the-road style with a trendsetting design that includes a sporty grille and front fascia, as well as sleek LED headlamps and taillamps, which are standard. The Blazer's muscular design extends to the interior, where you'll find more Camaro-inspired design, like the revolving air vents.

3. Can-do spirit

Whether hitting the slopes in the winter or escaping the city in the summer, the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer is a willing participant with its can-do spirit. This midsize SUV features up to five drive modes (Tour, Snow/Ice, Sport, and available Tow/Haul for FWD and Tour, AWD, Sport, Off-Road, and Tow/Haul for AWD versions) to customize the Blazer's performance to suit your conditions. When properly equipped, the V6 engine can also pull an estimated 4,500 lbs, allowing you to bring your fishing boat, ATV, or camper along.

4. Comfortable accommodations

Great for carpooling or road trips, the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer provides the space you need to get to your destination comfortably. With room for five passengers, kids and adults alike will appreciate the spacious reclining and sliding rear row, which offers 39.6 inches of legroom. With all seats in place, the trunk provides 30.5 cu-ft of volume to hold everyone's luggage. When you need more room, the manual-folding, 60/40-split bench reveals 64.2 cu-ft for oversized items.

5. Impressive infotainment

You don't need to climb the 2023 Blazer's trims to get the latest in-car tech. This Chevy comes well-equipped at the base level with a 10.2-inch touchscreen, boasting Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ capabilities. Amazon Alexa integration is also standard, allowing you to bring your favorite virtual assistant along for the ride. Bluetooth^® audio streaming for up to two devices lets you queue up your tunes, and there are four USB ports to keep your devices charged. And speaking of streaming capabilities, your passengers will love the available Wi-Fi hotspot to stay entertained on long drives.
