Chevrolet Blazer II - model description. Description CHEVROLET BLAZER Chevrolet blazer specifications
The mid-size SUV Chevrolet Blazer (which replaced the compact S-10 Blazer in the model range of the American machine builder) debuted in 1995 - compared to its predecessor, it has significantly changed in terms of design, increased in size and received new equipment, but at the same time practically did not change in technical terms (perhaps only "armed" with modernized motors).
It is noteworthy that in Russia it was presented in a slightly different design option than in the USA and Europe.
In 1998, the car underwent a planned update, as a result of which it acquired a slightly tweaked exterior and interior design, as well as an adjusted range of power units, after which it was mass-produced until 2005 (however, in Brazil, its production was carried out until 2011).
Outside, the Chevrolet Blazer demonstrates a very attractive, balanced and laconic shape, and with its small dimensions it looks like a full-fledged SUV.
A solid front end with neat lighting equipment and a raised bumper, a brutal silhouette with flat sides, rounded-square wheel arches and a darkened rear roof pillar, an unpretentious stern with compact lanterns and a large trunk lid - the exterior of the SUV does not shine with design delights, but there is no rejection calls.
It is a "rogue" of the mid-size category with a three- or five-door body, which is 4639-4724 mm long, 1834 mm wide and 1689-1709 mm high. The distance between the wheels of the front and rear axles is 2553-2718 mm, and its ground clearance is 200 mm.
The curb weight of the "American" varies from 1629 to 1915 kg, depending on the modification.
The interior of the Chevrolet Blazer looks simple, but functional - a large four-spoke steering wheel with a flat rim, a laconic and informative instrument cluster with analog dials and indicator lamps, a center console turned towards the driver, carrying a radio tape recorder, three air conditioning controls and buttons for auxiliary functions.
Solid, but inexpensive materials are used inside the car, and the build quality is at a good level.
The “suites” of a midsize SUV are designed to accommodate the driver and four of his companions, with sufficient space provided in both rows of seats. In the front of the cabin, amorphous seats with weak lateral support and wide adjustment intervals are installed, and in the rear there is a comfortable sofa with soft filling.
In a normal state, the trunk of a Chevrolet Blazer can hold from 855 to 1056 liters, depending on the number of doors, and with the second row of seats folded down - from 1849 to 2098 liters. A full-fledged spare wheel is suspended from the car on the street (under the bottom).
A wide range of power plants is offered for the Chevrolet Blazer:
- The gasoline range consists of in-line four-cylinder and V-shaped six-cylinder atmospheric engines with a working volume of 2.2-4.3 liters with a distributed "power" system and variable valve timing, which develop 106-200 horsepower and 195-353 Nm of torque.
- There is only one diesel for the SUV - a 2.8-liter "four" with an in-line layout, turbocharging, common rail direct injection and a 16-valve timing structure, producing 140 hp. and 339 Nm of rotational potential.
Engines are mated with a 5-speed "mechanics" or 4-band "automatic", the driving wheels of the rear axle or an all-wheel drive transmission with a hard-starting front axle, "transfer case" and a reduction gear.
The Blazer is based on a spar steel frame on which the power unit is located longitudinally and the rest of the components are mounted. The front axle of the SUV is suspended via independent suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers, anti-roll bar and coil springs, while the rear axle is suspended using a dependent structure with small leaf springs.
The car is equipped with a "worm" configuration of the steering gear, which is integrated with the power steering. On the front wheels of the "American" disc brakes are applied, and on the rear wheels - drum or disc, depending on the modification (already in the "base" - with ABS).
In the Russian market of used cars, the "first" Chevrolet Blazer in 2018 can be purchased at a price of ~ 100 thousand rubles.
In the initial configuration, the SUV boasts: front airbags, alloy wheels, ABS, radio with CD-player, anti-theft system, automatic headlight range control and other equipment.
The Grand Cherokee is considered an American off-road Chevrolet Blazer produced in 1998. Among Russian car enthusiasts, the Chevrolet Blazer has gained popularity due to its powerful engine range, rich configuration and good dynamics. Since you can buy an SUV only on the secondary market, it is advisable to check the authenticity of the numbers of all components and assemblies and the technical condition of the model before buying.
Features of Chevrolet Blazer
The predecessor of the Blazer was the S10, which underwent several restyling and was eventually replaced by a full-fledged comfortable off-road, radically different from the previous model.
Chevrolet Blazer 1998 was offered in three- and five-door versions of the body, and only five-door modifications of the car were supplied to the Russian market. Blazer versions with a shortened base are extremely difficult to come across. The body structure is based on a robust, corrosion-resistant spar frame. The ground clearance of the SUV is 20 centimeters, which allows you to overcome unevenness in the road.
The owners of the Chevrolet Blazer 1998 in the reviews note the practicality of the car. Some motorists complain about the lack of a third row of seats in the cabin and the relatively small volume of the luggage compartment.
The rich equipment of the Chevrolet Blazer pleasantly surprises: the leather interior is available even in the basic modification. The car is equipped with a large number of servos, the performance of which should be checked before purchasing an SUV.
Specifications Chevrolet Blazer 1998:
- Body length - 4639 millimeters.
- Width - 1736 mm.
- Height - 1689 mm.
- The wheelbase is 2718 mm.
- The ground clearance is 200 millimeters.
- Curb / full weight - 1915/2427 kilograms.
- Four-wheel drive.
- Mechanical five-speed or automatic transmission.
- The maximum developed speed is 190 km / h.
- Fuel consumption - 10.5-19.1 liters;
- Disc brake system.
Line of engines
The range of power units, unfortunately, is not very rich: the carmaker offered the Chevrolet Blazer 1998 4.3 with a Vortecc 4300 V6 engine. The working resource of the engine, created on the basis of a 5.7-liter V8, is more than 500 thousand kilometers after a major overhaul. The dynamics of acceleration to 100 km / h is 10 seconds, which is quite good for an SUV.
The owners of the Chevrolet Blazer 1998 2.2 in the reviews note that the SUV's engine is not subject to serious damage: basically, problems with the EGRR exhaust gas recirculation system can occur, which is reflected in the unstable operation of the engine. Similar problems are typical for SUVs with high mileage.
The working resource of the fuel pump is 60-80 thousand kilometers, after which it is advisable to replace it. The fuel pressure regulator also has a short operating life and requires regular diagnostics and replacement if necessary.
In a quiet driving mode, the fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Blazer 1998, equipped with a 4.3-liter engine, is 17-20 liters, and fans of high-speed trips will have to mentally prepare themselves at 30 liters for every hundred of the way.
Transmission
All versions of the Chevrolet Blazer 1998 2.2 presented on the Russian market are equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission. Automatic transmission 4L60-E is considered the most popular and is characterized by unpretentious maintenance and long service life. Serious investments in the transmission are not required with regular oil changes: the first 200 thousand kilometers, the transmission works perfectly. It is worth noting that changing the transmission oil is required quite often - every 25-30 thousand kilometers, which, however, has a positive effect on the general condition of the gearbox.
As an additional option, a five-speed manual transmission was installed on the Chevrolet Blazer 1998, which was very unusual for an American SUV and affected the number of modifications with this type of gearbox - it is almost impossible to find them on the Russian market. The only drawback of such a transmission is oil seal leakage after 200 thousand kilometers.
Drive unit
Chevrolet Blazer 1998, like all SUVs, is equipped with four-wheel drive and InstaTracc transfer case with low gear range, which does not cause any special problems, unlike its control mechanism. The transfer case is not switched manually, but by an electronic system. The control keys are located on the dashboard of the car. There are three operating modes: buildings drive 2Hi, all-wheel drive 4Hi and all-wheel drive with a low range of gears 4Lo, which greatly simplifies and facilitates driving. However, it is worth considering that in the event of a failure of the electronic connection mechanism, it will have to be changed completely, which will cost a large amount, therefore, when buying a Chevrolet Blazer, it is advisable to carefully check the condition and operability of the front axle. The SUV is also equipped with an automatic rear axle differential lock. Such technical characteristics of the Chevrolet Blazer 1998 provide the SUV with a high level of cross-country ability, which is especially noticeable on three-door modifications of the car.
Chassis
The chassis of the Chevrolet Blazer combines high-speed and off-road characteristics. An independent torsion bar suspension is installed in the front, and a continuous spring suspension at the rear. After 120-150 thousand kilometers, replacement of the rear shock absorbers is required. The front suspension, in contrast to the rear, requires regular diagnostics and competent maintenance: every 5-7 thousand kilometers it is necessary to lubricate the ball joints in order to increase their working life. With proper operation, their operational life is 100 thousand kilometers. The service life of silent blocks is not inferior: at least 150-200 thousand kilometers.
Steering and braking system Chevrolet Blazer 1998
The rack and pinion steering mechanism cannot boast of characteristics, since it does not have the required level of reliability and quickly fails, especially in the conditions of Russian roads: bearings fail first.
The optional ABS can be a source of problems. Owners of Chevrolet Blazers manufactured before 1996 often experience malfunctions in the electronic-hydraulic unit, which are corrected by replacing the pump relay. On "younger" modifications of the SUV, the entire unit will have to be changed to eliminate the malfunction.
Complete set
The equipment of the American SUV Chevrolet Blazer 1998 cannot be called meager. The rich equipment includes an automatic drive of glasses and mirrors and seats with a wide range of settings. The 1998 restyling added several options - headlight washers, climate control, an electronic control system for the Auto4WD transfer case and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Owners of an SUV highly appreciate the offered vehicle configuration and note the serviceability and excellent operation of all systems. The main problems are associated, as a rule, with the age of the model: the wiring that is responsible for adjusting the driver's seat often rots. When buying a Chevrolet Blazer, it is advisable to check the alarm button: in the event of a malfunction, you will have to completely change the entire switch block. Repair work will cost approximately 8-10 thousand rubles, including the cost of spare parts.
Owners of an SUV indicate the need to periodically replace the heating system engine, which costs 5-7 thousand rubles. Despite such repairs, the Blazer heating system is excellent: the cabin heats up quickly and evenly at the lowest ambient temperatures, despite the considerable dimensions. Another weak point is the wipers - after prolonged use, they start to work by themselves. The reason for this lies in a special board that needs to be replaced.
SUV history
The first Blazer modification was officially demonstrated to the global auto community in 1982. The car was created on the basis of the Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, which was presented to the public a year earlier. The Blazer S10 was produced for a long time only in a three-door version.
On the platform of the more impressive and powerful C / K pickup truck, another modification of the Chevrolet Blazer was created, which later laid the foundation for the Tahoe lineup.
The first restyling of the Blazer S10 was carried out in 1991: the SUV began production in a five-door version and received a 4.3-liter engine with a capacity of 160 or 200 horsepower, depending on the selected configuration. In 1993, the car was renamed Blazer S, and in 1994, after the next generation appeared, the SUV received its standard name Chevrolet Blazer.
In 1998, the carmaker released a new generation of the car, which was subsequently split into two separate models. In 2001, the new Trail Blazer SUV was presented at the US Auto Show, equipped with an aluminum 4.2-liter V6 engine producing 273 horsepower and a 5.3-liter engine producing 294 horsepower.
With the exception of the standard version, official dealers offered customers a modification of the EXTT SUV with a wheelbase extended to 3275 mm.
Summary
American SUV Chevrolet Blazer 1998 compares favorably not only from its main competitors, but also from counterparts assembled in Brazil, aggressive exterior, rich equipment and high-quality interior trim, one of the most powerful and dynamic 4.3-liter engines and two body versions - three- and five-door. Car models assembled in Brazil were mostly powered by four-cylinder 2.2-liter engines, which lacked power.
The undoubted advantage of the Chevrolet Blazer is its widespread use in the secondary markets and the so-called "disassembly", which greatly facilitates the search for the necessary components and spare parts, especially body parts. It is worth noting the significantly lower cost of components for the American SUV in comparison with competitors.

Chevrolet Blazer Owner Reviews
Chevrolet Blazer, 1995
My driving experience is almost 15 years, and during all this time I have had different cars, but mostly VAZs. By the time I bought a Chevrolet Blazer, I had dreamed of an SUV for a long time. One employee, then working with me, drove the Blazer. And so I took a closer look at him and realized that this is the kind of car I want to buy. Of course, I had no money for a new one, so I studied offers for used cars on the Internet. I chose, bought - and was satisfied. The car is large, roomy - both the interior and the trunk. If you want to take a lot of people - please, you need to take building materials to the dacha - and then no problem. At the time of buying a Chevrolet Blazer, I already had a 3-daughter, and in October 2008 a son was born. For our family, a big car is an important condition, because all the time we need to put something in the trunk - a stroller, a bicycle, numerous things or all at once, for example, when we go to the country house or to the village. Everything fits into my Blazer. I am also very pleased that my car is simply irreplaceable when traveling out of town - it showed itself from the best side there: drive along any road - in the forest, in a field, where, naturally, an ordinary "passenger car" will not pass. Again, in the recent snowfall in winter, I had no problems - my Chevrolet Blazer will go everywhere. It is very convenient that the all-wheel drive is plug-in - if it is not needed at the moment, I simply turn it off and spend less gasoline. By the way, about gasoline - you can even fill in the 80th, it will go without problems. On the highway, he has a flow rate of about 13 liters, and 18 liters in the city. In general, I am very pleased with my car, I have been driving for the fourth year already, but now, however, I decided to change it to a newer one - my wife asks.
Dignity : reliable, safe, large, roomy car. On road performance, too, everything is fine.
disadvantages : fuel consumption.

Chevrolet Blazer, 1996
Impressions from the operation of the Chevrolet Blazer: 10-14 l / 100 km AI-80, sometimes I add 92 - 5-10%. According to the passport, it says that it works on the AI-86, and when loaded, you need better quality gasoline. In the USA, gasoline 86 is unleaded, I don’t know what it is, but I make a “mix” of 80 and 92 gasoline and there is no difference between what is on the “mix” and what is on the 92nd. Comfort - no bumps. At a friend's "Outlander". I gave it a ride - he says that it goes softly. Cruising speed 80-110 km / h. I squeezed 130, then it's a pity and uncomfortable. Visibility, large mirrors. Convenient to park. When buying a Chevrolet Blazer, look at the frame, almost all rot. Replacement - 100 thousand rubles. Repair of a box on a Chevrolet Blazer - usually about 90 thousand rubles. After the "lighters", it is immediately difficult to get used to the weight and dimensions. We must be careful. I had several situations. I press on the brake, and he goes. Once, avoiding the collision, I jumped into a shallow ditch, drove 1 km across the virgin soil. Losses - the bumper insert burst, almost imperceptibly, did not change. It's bad that it rusts. The American assembly is not galvanized. Passability: after rain on "bald" tires on soggy clay and with slides. Passed without fanaticism "with a bang." There is not enough differential lock, at 2.5 tons uphill on wet grass on a lowered one started, but with difficulty. In general, while the choice is satisfied. I will definitely not sit for the "passenger car" anymore. For the future I am planning a "Vitara" or "RAV4" with a gun.
Dignity : softness of the stroke. Carrying capacity. Trunk volume. Consumption. 80th gasoline.
disadvantages : corrosion. Difficult access to candles. Spare parts to order. Few specialized services.

Chevrolet Blazer, 1996
Bought a Chevrolet Blazer on purpose. It was necessary to meet the funds. Of all the SUVs presented in Russia in terms of price and quality, it is out of competition. I took the car in disrepair, drove it to the service, paid off about 60-70 thousand rubles and the days of joy began. I must say right away that the engine was in good condition, but the attachments, the suspension and the body with the interior were completely unkempt. During operation, the Chevrolet Blazer turned out to be reliable and unpretentious, all the troubles were predictable. However, the "pitfalls" got out, the joy began to be darkened. As a result, I decided to sell, I felt sorry for the time and money, then I couldn't get them off the car, and I was not a fan of the Chevrolet Blazer. Operation: consumption in the city - 18-28 l / 100 km, moreover, 18 is very slow and sad, like a turtle. The route is 12-14 l / 100 km, if you do not spin above 1900 rpm. High center of gravity - be careful when entering corners. The prices for spare parts are adequate, not cheap and not very expensive. The suspension of the Chevrolet Blazer is tough, on a bad road it presses on the ears, on good asphalt like in a passenger car, the sound insulation is good. The lack of pockets in the cabin is annoying, they simply do not exist, except for door pockets and a central glove, oil, keys, basting, etc. dangles all over the trunk along with a first aid kit and an emergency stop sign. In general, if it were not for the "killed" car and a more modest appetite (you can bring the consumption up to 16-22 liters in the city, you just need to pour in a lot of money), most likely not sold. I really liked the interior (leather), comfortable seats, the rear row folds out - it turns out a flat floor in the back, you can easily sleep together. It was not possible to plant the Chevrolet Blazer in mud and snow even once, although I did not specifically strive. The engine is a separate story, after which the 2-liter engine is simply a "cornman".
Dignity : engine. Passability. Clearance. Noise isolation. Frame. Unpretentious.
disadvantages : fuel consumption. High center of gravity. Rear suspension.

Chevrolet Blazer, 1997
From the comfort of the Chevrolet Blazer, this is, first of all, the engine. Why? Because it is he who allows you to drive on the road in a comfortable mode. Without thinking about whether or not to overtake or pass - you will not pass. The second is the salon. Old enough, you feel like in an antique shop. By the way, I attribute this to the advantages of the car. Comfortable front seats with adjustable lumbar support, electrics (which is not particularly critical) and comfortable ranges, in contrast to the "Japanese". The cargo hold is very important to me and if we were selling an S-10, I would prefer it. This is an American pickup truck, on the basis of which the Chevrolet Blazer is built. The suspension is stiff in places, and in places very imposing. It’s not clear what depends on what, but this is an off-road truck, so I resigned myself. The front suspension is like any Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. Torsion bars, four levers. Rear springs. Everything is on elastic bands, so there is no squeak (if changed on time). Cardans on CV joints (did not observe vibration). Even with a broken crosspiece. By the way, I think this is a big disadvantage of foreign cars (and all of them). The driver almost does not feel the broken knot. And after a couple of years, a whole knot breaks. As a result, the diagnosis of a master locksmith sounds like a sentence. I cannot say with certainty that I am 100% satisfied with the purchase. I do not like to bend my soul. The price of the issue is quality. Well, somewhere between 40 and 60%. That is, for this money you get a good car. But nothing more. For potential buyers, brand connoisseurs and fans. Buy. They don't do that anymore. The machine is not for show off. Machine for business.
Dignity : power and torque. Automatic transmission of the old design. Frame. Comfortable front fit. The price list for spare parts is within acceptable limits. Repairable. Not a bad crook.
disadvantages : uncomfortable rear fit. Long wait for spare parts and look for a lot on your own. Doesn't like the rut. Quite tough for rear passengers.

Chevrolet Blazer, 1998
I will describe my Chevrolet Blazer. In terms of consumption, it all depends on which wheels are installed, and of course how to drive (prancing or crawling), the normal consumption is less than on a UAZ. I have 13 y.o. in the city. Outside the city, less than 11 does not go out, even though the BC says 9 liters, and if you go for a drive on all-wheel drive, then up to 30 liters is possible (the tank is only 68 liters). But on evil or big wheels, no savings. The second is its low frame. Although it is adapted for light and fast "body lift", but in stock the Chevrolet Blazer is passable at times. And, of course, these are torsion bars. Better than springs, of course. But they add a lot of problems if you want not just to increase the distance from the body to the frame and from the arches to the wheels, but to increase the ground clearance (the distance from the ground to the frame). To be wise is not to be too smart. But in general, as anyone. I would say in stock, a car for high-speed passage of rough terrain. On the highway 120-140. If it is faster, it starts to drive along the track. But in the fields, in the mountains, it's just super. Gas to the floor and rushed (weaving across the field - easy). I didn't even expect the Chevrolet Blazer to hold on to the ground like that. You think that's all, a springboard and went into the lead, but no. You can't get off the ground. And it does not hit the bottom, you cannot even test the protection. UAZ does not know how. In the end, I will say, a great car, if you don't want to make a mud mixer out of it. Very good as it is. Well, maybe if only a couple of inches of lift.
Dignity : patency. Cheap spare parts. Very reliable. Thick, sturdy frame. Cross country speed, his element. Designed for "body lift". A lot can be "poked" from the domestic auto industry.
disadvantages : large engine displacement. Low frame position.
Alexander, Pavlovsky Posad
Chevrolet Blazer, 1998
On the positive side: a complete package in the base - automatic transmission, cruise, leather, heated front seats, a fold-down rear seat flush with the floor, full power accessories, air conditioning. The classic look of an SUV, especially when the "Kengurin" is hung up. Frame, really high ground clearance and full underbody protection. Ripe cherry color. The front and rear bumpers of the Chevrolet Blazer are made of iron. Soft on the go. The salon is huge. There is plenty of room in the back for passengers. Spare parts are inexpensive (however, in advance on order from 3 days). Consumption in the summer - city 16 (driving without complexes - I'm a calm family man). It is possible to use 80 gasoline (without fanaticism). 197 horses - reduced tax. A lot of "collective farm" has been developed (without fanaticism). Adequate market price (no overpayments for the brand). The rear window is opened separately with a button (convenient). Cons: a rolly steering wheel (you get used to it over time). The protruding handout on the right gets the passenger discomfort. There are no head restraints at the back. I want a hatch.
Dignity : watch the review.
disadvantages : watch the review.

Review of the new Chevrolet Blazer 2019-2020: appearance, interior, specifications, configuration, parameters, security systems and price. At the end of the article, a photo and video review of the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer.
Contents of the review:
Chevrolet has been known for its cars for years, sports cars, sedans and SUVs. The history of the company includes a huge number of legendary cars, from Camaro to various SUVs. The most anticipated these days was the Chevrolet Blazer crossover.
The official premiere of the new Chevrolet Blazer crossover took place on June 21, 2018. Now the novelty is planning to start sales in North America in the first half of 2019. Among the brand's lineup, the new Blazer is located between Equinox and Traverse, presumably that the novelty will appear in Russia towards the end of 2019.
Many say this is not the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer SUV that was discontinued 13 years ago in 2005. In total, before the first withdrawal from production, there were two generations of SUVs, with a huge number of upgrades, almost production lasted for 36 years. Called the second generation Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, it was produced from 1983 to 2005, the first generation of the Chevrolet K5 Blazer was launched back in 1969 and lasted until 1994. Thus, the manufacturer made it possible for fans of the first and second generation to buy cars.
An interesting point is that from 1996 to 1999, the legendary Chevrolet Blazer was registered in Russia. It was during this period of years in Yelabuga, the second generation of the Chevrolet Blazer was produced at an automobile plant... During this period, only 3800 copies of cars were produced in Russia, which can still be found in the vastness of the Russian Federation, moreover, it is considered the first foreign car assembled on the territory of present-day Russia, and therefore part of the country's history. Compared to the second generation of the SUV, the new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer has nothing in common, except that the nameplate indicates the relationship of the cars, the rest is completely new.
Exterior of the crossover Chevrolet Blazer 2019-2020
As already mentioned, the exterior is a completely new car, made in the style of the company, but with its own characteristic features. The manufacturer is in no hurry to disclose the main characteristics of the new Chevrolet Blazer 2019, but nevertheless, individual details and characteristics have been named, which already speaks of the reliability and modern technologies of the crossover.
front part the new Chevrolet Blazer 2019-2020 looks "evil" and formidable, the designers managed to achieve this style due to unusual optics, a large radiator grill and directional lines of the hood. The designers have made the front optics of the Chevrolet Blazer crossover unusual, the optics are narrow in shape, based on LEDs, and at the same time serve as dimensions and daytime running lights.
The dimensions and high-beam headlights were placed a little lower, making them in a round shape. At first glance, it seems that these are the fog lights of the Chevrolet Blazer crossover, because of the shape, but the fog lights themselves are a step lower, here are the direction indicators. The radiator grill will largely depend on the chosen crossover configuration. For the regular version, these are horizontal chrome strips, for the sport version - a mesh insert with large holes.
According to its shape, the grille is divided into two parts, a thin upper one and an open central one; the designers have added the company logo on the dividing strip. The front bumper of the Chevrolet Blazer crossover has got sharp lines, which speaks of the sporty character of the car. The very bottom was decorated with another additional grille, and the bottom itself was slightly pulled forward, thereby adding positive dynamic characteristics.
Crossover hood Chevrolet Blazer 2019-2020 also got its own character, two lines stretch from the radiator grille to the windshield, thereby raising the center of the hood above the side parts. The side section of the bonnet is again divided into two parts by two curved lines from the grille to the A-pillars. Thus, the hood of the crossover acquired curved shapes and a peculiar design. As for the Blazer 2019 windshield, there is practically no information, most likely there will be both partial and full heating of the front glass.
Side new Chevrolet Blazer 2019-2020 will surprise no less, sporty style and huge wheel arches. The upper side of the crossover has received a wave-like shape and the pillars are painted black as standard. Together with the tinted glasses, the impression of a completely glass side part is created. One wavy line extends along the bottom of the windows, another line of the same extends from the front wheel arch to the C-pillar. The door handles have not changed much, but the rear handle, for some reason, was turned up at a slight degree.
All that from the side gives out the attitude of the car to the name of the new generation Chevrolet Blazer is the characteristic nameplate in the middle of the front door. Side mirrors of the Chevrolet Blazer 2019 received a sporty character, the designers moved them to the side due to inclined fasteners and placed them on the door part. The shape of the side mirrors acquired a "cut" body and rough lines. On the front side, LED turn signal repeaters are installed, according to the standard, the mirrors are equipped with heating, electric adjustment and automatic folding.
What will be the body color of the 2019-2020 Chevrolet Blazer is still unknown, but judging from the options presented, these are strict shades:
- Red;
- silver;
- black;
- White;
- Brown;
- Gray;
- blue.
The new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer crossover turned out to be quite good at the back. The designers installed a large LED optics split in two and a slightly tilted rear window. The very top of the boot lid is decorated with a spoiler with LED stop repeater. Part of the spoiler was painted black, and part of the body color of the Chevrolet Blazer.
The end part of the trunk lid Chevrolet Blazer 2019-2020 acquired a recess for license plates and two nameplates, make and model of the car. The very center was taken under the company logo, sensors and a rear-view camera were added next to it. Judging from the recess at the bottom of the trunk, it will be possible to open the lid both non-contact and in the traditional way by pulling the handle. Finishing off the rear end of the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer is a bumper with an additional insert in the center and two tailpipes on the sides, which is a sign of a powerful engine under the hood of the crossover.
Roof of the new The 2019 Chevrolet Blazer is the final exterior detail to consider. Starting with the basic configuration, the manufacturer promised to install an electric sunroof, and an optional panoramic roof with a sliding front part will be available. Also, the roof of the Chevrolet Blazer crossover received side rails for fastening the trunk and an antenna in the form of a shark fin.
You can talk a lot and for a long time about the appearance of the new Chevrolet Blazer 2019-2020 crossover, but it will be even more interesting after the official start of car sales. Then the manufacturer will reveal the main characteristics and configuration of the crossover. Otherwise, the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer received a formidable style, spelled out in all body details with a pair of modern technologies.
Interior of the crossover Chevrolet Blazer 2019-2020
The interior of the new Chevrolet Blazer 2019-2020 crossover turned out to be even more surprising and unusual.

The Blazer name first appeared in 1969, when Americans began making the K-Series Blazer.
Interestingly, in the 80s, Chevrolet produced two different Blazers at once. One of them was introduced in 1982 and was called the Blazer S10. At the heart of this car is the Chevrolet S10 pickup truck. For a long time, such a car was produced only in a 3-door version. This was done to separate the S10 from the larger C / K 5-door Blazer (the Chevrolet Tahoe grew from the latter in the mid-90s). Chevrolet Blazer S10 was equipped with engines of 2.5, 2.8 and 4.3 liters.
In 1991, the Blazer S10 was restyled. A 5-door modification appeared, and only a 4.3-liter engine (160 hp or 200 hp depending on the modification) began to be installed under the hood. In 1993, the name of the SUV was slightly shortened - the car became known as Blazer S. And in 1994, when a new generation of the model was presented, it was decided to remove the letter "S". This is how the Chevrolet Blazer was born. This Blazer was available in 3- and 5-door bodies and a 4.3L engine. with a capacity of 193 hp.
And in the next 1995, another Chevrolet Blazer was born, which was intended for the South American market (it was made in Brazil). Such a car had a slightly different appearance and other power units: 2.2 liter gasoline engines. (113 hp) and 4.3 liters. (179 hp), as well as a 2.5-liter diesel (95 hp).
In our market, cars are found in both American and Brazilian assemblies.
Vehicles targeting the US market can be distinguished by a more aggressive grille and a powerful 4.3-liter engine (193 hp). This, by the way, is the largest V6 engine in terms of volume. Of no small importance is the fact that the power unit has an impressive torque of 338 Nm., Which develop already at 2800 rpm. According to the passport data, the acceleration of a car from 0-100 km / h takes 10.1 seconds, and the maximum speed is 180 km / h.
The appearance of the South American SUVs is slightly different, and they were equipped with 2.2-liter engines with a capacity of 106 hp. or 4.3 liter capacity of 179 hp. In addition, cars with such a power unit had rear-wheel drive, so they can hardly be called SUVs.
It was them that began to be assembled in the period from 1996 to 1999 at a plant in Elabuga in Tatarstan. From the factories of General Motors do Brasil, car kits came, which were almost finished cars, only without bumpers, lighting equipment, outside mirrors, seats and other trifles. These parts, neatly packed, lay in the cabin. Only rubber mats and jacks were Russian. This project ended ingloriously enough - after the financial crisis of 1998, Brazilian-Tatar Chevrolet bought badly, despite very attractive prices.
Corrosion on a second generation Blazer is rare. At the heart of the car is a powerful frame that can serve for a long time.
The interior design is made in a typical American style. The interior does not boast of design delights, but everything is done simply and clearly. Much of the American Blazer has leather trim.
In standard situations, the volume of the trunk is decent, and if you fold the rear seat (completely or in parts), you can get a whole cargo area at all - in the five-door version 2.1 m³. In addition, there are four metal lugs in the floor, with which you can easily fasten any large load. There is ample space in the back seat. The SUV has good sound insulation and a decent ride.
The complete set of American Blazers is rich. Cars have electric windows and mirrors, and often with the help of buttons, chairs are also adjusted.
The all-wheel drive modifications of the Chevrolet Blazer behave well off-road, because the model has a high ground clearance and a low range of gears.
In 2001, a new SUV was introduced in the United States to replace the Blazer. True, it was called differently - TrialBlazer.
