2021 Chevy Blazer Release Date

2021 Chevy Blazer Release Date – The Chevy Blazer is back, albeit in a very different form. General Motors announced the new subcompact SUV on Wednesday and said the Blazer would slot between the Trax and the Equinox in the Chevrolet SUV lineup.

I’ll start by saying that, as far as the crossover goes, it doesn’t look bad. It’s aggressive and somewhat chunky for a little crossover. That said, this is RS Trim, which comes with a standard two-tone paint scheme, so we have to look at how basic, non-RS display models are before drawing any conclusions.

The new TrailBlazer will slot between short and popular Trax but not very exciting Equinox, competing with vehicles like Compass Jeep and Hyundai Tucson. And maybe even the Ford Escape and Toyota Rav4 – I’m not so sure, because the crossover classification has gotten confusing.

The press release for the new TrailBlazer is quite boring, with a lot of texts devoted to the discussion of active safety features, and not mentioning the powertrain options. That’s good, I guess. People who buy crossover care about the security thing.

I guess I was a bit disappointed that GM did not compete in off-road SUV space. The Jeep Wrangler has been selling like crazy over the last decade, and Ford carries the Bronco back. We all hope GM will be making off-Road Blazer legit rivals, but then it appears as just an expensive crossover. And I guess I’m thinking * Trail * Blazer can be a lifesaver made for that mistake, carrying a rough terrain — conquering the hardware that we all missed but not really used. But unfortunately, here’s another crossover.

Anyway, the car that’s going to hit the dealer in the early 2020-looks good, and who knows, maybe GM actually works on off-road vehicles. Plus, as far as nameplates go, the last generation of the TrailBlazer is not exactly an off-road beast, well, although it comes with quite an awesome inline-six engine. So I might have to cut this new SUV some slack.

This obvious TrailBlazer took a lot of design influences from the new Blazer, Medium, especially ahead. Chevrolet said the new SUV will be available in an Incognito RS, pictured above, with a standard two-tone roof.

There are no other specs available in this post, the official Chevrolet statement just saying the details will be “together later. “For now, the company simply says the TrailBlazer will come standard with front pedestrian braking, automatic emergency braking, lane-resuming assistance, and lane-departure warnings. The adaptive cruise control will be optional, as will help the rear garden and the high-definition Rear-View camera.

Interestingly, a TrailBlazer announcement came right on the heels of Buick’s new debut Encore GX-crossover compact positioned between subcompact and intermediate Encore imagining. Remembering Buick is also a mother about product specifications – and given two SUV interiors have a lot in common – it’s safe to assume these products are closely related.

The name TrailBlazer is obviously not something new. Chevy offered it as a Trim level in the US spec SUV Blazer in late 1990 and early 2000s, and replaced it with the Body-on-frame TrailBlazer SUV from 2001 to 2008. Recently, the name TrailBlazer has been used on SUV sold outside the US.
