Looks good but way way too expensive. And the inside is just spare parts from other vehicles. It’s like the new Captiva. You can get way better vehicles for these prices even luxury vehicles.
Absolutely. They should have taken the Canyon/Colorado ZR2 running gear and built a real Blazer out of it. The original was a rough-and-tumble offroad machine (my family had a 1971 4WD with CST), often with winches bolted to the front, not a warmed-over Malibu for taking the kids shopping.
After a heavy shopping around I finally leased this car, it drives like queen of streets. Even though I hate GM for the bad experiences I’ve had with their older equanixs but man this car is just so good.
This is essentially a modern day station wagon for mom (or dad) and the kids going to the store in MAYBE slippery conditions. Not for someone who wants to go off road or deal with extraordinary conditions.
I was definitely hoping for a 2 door although 4 door would be okay I guess. removable top along with a body on frame set up with 4x4 rear wheel drive setup. It fails in everything but being a modern Mom’s suv. It’s closer to the S-10 blazer.
They won't get the clue because people aren't buying it for its offroading reputation. They are buying it because vanilla cookie cutter CUV's are just today's socially-acceptable minivans. The soccer moms will eat it up, sales will be high, and GM will think they've made the greatest incarnation of the Blazer ever
It's amazing you only found 1 problem. I see a few problems with the new blazer. 1) Front wheel drive 2) Not 4 wheel drive 3) Not an off- road vehicle 4) You'll never see a lift kit made for it 5) Price
Yeah 48G's for the RS edition. All it is a cloned equinox but the camaro type frontend treatment! When i first saw a writeup about this last year i thought oh 😎 this might something to ✔ into when it's released take one out for a test drive. But now after seeing video reveiws about it my opinion has changed it"s not a really 4WD 4which i strongly feel to earn the blazer nameplate!
Sunroof not even included @ $48k and it is a very expansive option. Here in the Great North it cost $2,800, bundled with 21'' wheels !?! Total price $58k (Canadian) and there is still many options available at that price.
Nice review! Was hating on this at first but it’s really grown on me. I’m really liking the exterior and interior design although I haven’t seen it in person yet. Still way overpriced tho... but maybe leasing one might be the way to go. I’m liking the RS trim the most.
It's not what I initially expected when I heard that the Blazer was returning to the states. But, overall, it's a contender in the segment. A bit pricey, but as a GM guy, I know that Chevy doesn't sell at full MSRP.
bought a 1973 Blazer around 2010 with a 350/700R4 combo for $1200. Put a 4" lift, 37" tires, painted Rally orange and a black soft top on it. Drove it everyday for 5 years until I moved out of crap hole California and had to sell it. Would take that in a heartbeat over this plastic lowrider any day
Goes right along with the bevy of overpriced suv's and pickups, that the auto manufacturers have convinced the US that they all need. When did it become acceptable to pay 40-50k for a suv or truck? Let alone any vehicle. Wake up America.
I have the 2020 model with the turn off option for stop/start I do have the RS and the sticker was just under $53k People are right about abit priced to high .The sticker is based on NJ price I do notice the trans issue as in the video .i also get many head turners asking what is that. The outside is very stylish,but interior is boring. The other thing i didn't like is,while in 2WD,it should run rear wheel and it runs in FWD. GM Definitely sound proofed the interior because it is very quiet. Definitely other options at that price point
I don’t connect this with the “Trailblazer” as much as the original “Chevy Blazer”...but regardless, styling wise, I simply don’t get Chevrolet, or GM in general.
My 2019 KIA Sorrento 3-row that is very quiet, very solid with compliant suspension, and loaded with tech, all for 31K just looks better and better every day.
Love the look, power and tech on this SUV but the price stopped me in my tracks. Not as big as Traverse, not much bigger than the Equinox...which is what I bought. Unless you wa to pay another 15-20k for looks, check out the Equinox. Way more bang for your buck.
This should've been the new Equinox, and the Blazer shouldve been an offroad capable SUV, or they should have flipped it into a 400hp track capable all wheel drive.
I like it. I really do. I have a 2005 Trailblazer Ext and wanted this when I heard about it. But, it cost tooooo much. The top model cost 5-7k less than the top model Traverse and I’d rather get that. GMs idea and execution are slightly off.
Isac Nuri actually Jeep luxury vehicles outsell Jeep Wranglers significantly but that’s ok as long as they continue to make great off road vehicles also. It’s too bad GM doesn’t make a “real blazer” or a true off road SUV. The current blazer sits too low, is not modifiable and as so many GM products these days boring. I do like the new corvette and I don’t mind the GMC trucks. Even then the GMC truck interiors are far inferior to Jeep, Ram and Ford equivalent vehicle are better
Nice video but why is it every other video about this SUV says different about the horsepower. You say 308hp other videos say 300,301,305 so which is it? Also i have yet to see this SUV on the road then again over 45k for this PASS!!!!
@@TDon-jk5bi Best do the entire pump while you are there. That pump has the sending unit for your gas gauge (which goes bad often), the pump (which goes bad often). If its out put a new one in.. just a sayin. You are lucky to have no probs with your TB.

I probably would have bought a Blazer this year if they were reasonably priced, but when I can get a completely loaded Rav 4 for less it's a no brainer for me. I have a hard time believing too many people will pay that price for the Blazer.

Yeah, I'm with Jesse, I loved my 2 Blazers, the 1973 K5, and the 04. They were made to just get anywhere offroad. ANYWHERE, on the K5, small tree in your way? NOT TODAY. This, while super nice looking, looks too much like chevy is losing their sight of what made people love the blazer and made it more of a "Family semi off road" style. Im all about the gas mileage at 21, but this is looking really weak in the off road, camping, trustworthy, mudding "fun" market
I’m looking for a above mid performance station wagon with a v6 and AWD that handles the largest potholes and carries groceries. For the price of a low end 4cyl 2seater. Because practicality and affordability.

I think he meant 50k pesos
You can get a nicely equipped 2019/2020 Acura RDX for the kind of the money they are asking for the Blazer.
ezekiel1hen yeah I feel sorry for anyone who buys this overpriced Captiva. Lmao
Make the 6.2L V8 DI an option then we'll talk.
Theyre going to wait and then scrap it #Chevrolet are a bunch of pussies
Wearing an off-road worthy nameplate which it is not. Styled to resemble a camaro which it drives nothing like. Worst of both world.
48K?!? WTH! You can get a new 4Runner TRD Pro less than this and is much better built. GM is out of their minds.
Absolutely. They should have taken the Canyon/Colorado ZR2 running gear and built a real Blazer out of it. The original was a rough-and-tumble offroad machine (my family had a 1971 4WD with CST), often with winches bolted to the front, not a warmed-over Malibu for taking the kids shopping.
The Toyota is better built, better looking, better driving and best of all, it’s not a Chevy.
yeah but they have a female CEO AND CFO. Doesn't that count?

Bought one after test driving the competition. Handles great, beautiful car. Great all around package. Turns a lot of heads. Got it at discount.
Nobody cares about your soccer mom crossover.
This will be $28k value right after signing the purchase agreement
The Blazer starts at $28k
Anthony Webber he meant the depreciation the second you drive it off the lot.
@@watchreport
You don't say
Is the new Blazer really exciting??? NOPE!!!

Stylish and expensive. $48k and no sunroof?
soccer moms is the target market for this car.
The guy says it is optional in his reveiw auta be standard for the what the sticker is $48 G"s! Man, GM is on crack or them strange mushrooms!!
How do you use sunroof, its useless feature in my opinion.
Btw i have it.
@@prosto9995 that was pointless comment when u have one ..... N a sunroof has it key points for use
What points?????
This is the best looking car gm has ever made
Way too overpriced!
As are most of these damn cars today like wth
So a lifted Camaro hatchback
Yes an rs camaro 🤣🤣
Front gives me Lexus spindle grille with a Chevy bow tie and Hyundai Kona headlights
Perfect smaller family suv at $15,000 overpriced.
Way overpriced. Why buy this over a rdx?
RDX is smaller and costs about the same.
This is faster
Becuase why would you buy an Acura
Why would you buy GM
Why buy a premium gas vehicle that makes only 245 hp when this has regular cheaper fuel with more horsepower
A thorough and succinct review. Sonorous? Nice word usage. Good job.
Ha! Thanks, RJ.
Just like about everything else out there, EXPENSIVE BUT CHEAP!
Sunroof not even included @ $48k and it is a very expansive option. Here in the Great North it cost $2,800, bundled with 21'' wheels !?! Total price $58k (Canadian) and there is still many options available at that price.

Hey, Mr. Angry...at $48k+ it's OK to expect more than this.
TestDriveNow Reviews by Auto Critic Steve Hammes you’re picking the wrong brand if you’d think Chevy would give you bang for your buck 😂
We just bought one WE LOVE IT !!
Wait 6 months.
At 40,000 the transmission will fail.
I was thinking of buying the Ford Everest here in the Philippines. If this comes out here, I'm willing to wait!

Bought the 2019 Premier Model … missing 3 things IMO … larger engine possibly a 5.3 V-8 or larger, HD Radio & LED Headlights , not HID’s
It looks like a young millennial vehicle. But it is not an offroad vehicle. Is it better than the murano? Or the ford escape?
If it were made in the USA I would have bought one and looked away at all its other issues.
Other issues?
Other issues?
Wow, just wait for the repair costs when all these automated and electronic systems start to fail.
And they will I've had Chevy transmissions dying before 100,000 miles. No thanks.
Did they actually put a cabin air filter in this time or did they just design the space badly and leave the filter out?

Same Air Conditioning vents as my roomates Pontiac Aztec, now I see where Chevy got its inspiration from !
Did they steal the design from the RAV4?
a very cheap version of the RAV4
It looks nothing like a RAV4, thankfully.
