Review: 2019 Chevy Blazer RS AWD

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 เม.ย. 2019
  • I review the all-new 2019 Chevy Blazer RS AWD. With a V6 engine, sportier dampers, quicker steering and torque-vectoring AWD, the RS version has the right ingredients to make it a fun to drive SUV. But can its high price be justified? What do you think of the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer? Huge thanks to Chevrolet for providing me with this vehicle to review!

At the beginning you said it was in the way of your thumbs/palm etc. 2). Are there any recent upgrades or options to decommission or turn off the auto start/stop? 3). How do you think this vehicle compares with the Range Rover Sport or Evoque (price aside) ? Finally, can you do a review of the Escalade and the McClaren 720S (the convertible one). thanks!

    Grew up in a 1989 Blazer and remember going to the dealer with my parents to pick up at age 6 years. Was a horrible vehicle but somehow it lasted 10 years and $250k miles. Although my father was a mechanic and was always replacing something such as rear ends, steering column, etc. The first we had it the rear end was replaced under warranty three times. I learned to drive a manual in that Blazer the day before turning 13.

      If the Blazer was built to compete with smaller SUVs (and I agree it was) it's going to get murdered by the RAV4 and CRV. It's more expensive, gets worse MPGs, and will almost certainly be less reliable with lower resale values. It's insane to me that GM made this vehicle. Why not improve the Equinox? Why not make a Blazer that competes with 4runner and has at least the potential to be modded for off-road capability for the billions of us who don't enjoy the luxury of well-maintained plowed roads all year?

      Mr. Sphlictor Luis Ramirez Ok tech, on-road driving capability, and comfort are superior to the old Blazer... but the Original Blazer Nameplate wasn’t meant to be about ANY of those things... hence why I said it is a disgrace to it’s namesake and does not pay homage to it’s heritage. The Original Blazer was a super tough truck that you could throw a ton of gear in, go off-roading to remote spots and camp, and you could modify it and make it an absolute off-roading BEAST! V8 platform, body on frame, short wheelbase, tough, simple and durable... those are the roots of the Blazer. This thing is just a dressed up, overpriced, over teched, yuppy mommy car. Looks cool, but it’s just another crossover SUV at the end of the day. If it had a nastier engine, some better 4WD technology, and better seats and shifter, with about a $10k cheaper price tag... I MIGHT’ve been impressed. It should’ve competed directly with the new Ford Bronco coming out, or with the 4Runner or Wrangler, but instead it competes with other boring and expensive crossovers.
      And Luis, you might want to consider being more respectful with your language to others. You wouldn’t talk like that to a stranger’s face out in public, so don’t act so tough just because you have the anonymity and safety of being behind your device screen. No need to be rude, just politely and intellectually discuss your points or where you differ with others and be respectful, no need to lip off with foul language just because you disagree with someone alright.

It only shuts off depending on how you come to that complete stop. If or when it does shut the engine off and whatever you are running while the engine is off. The system will restart the engine when it recognizes battery drain. Otherwise it's not a big of a deal. And the starter and such has been given a more robust build to handle the stop start moments.

    I'm glad you spent alot of time talking about the pricing and talking about its competitors. The price is the main point of the Blazer RS review. Anything less than the RS trim as seen is just not a great Blazer, so you will need to get one as tested and $50k for it is absurd. I understand the cost of all cars is alot higher than most think. A fully loaded Corolla Hatchback XSE is $28k for example. $30k is normal for most cars nowadays. But once you get to the $50k range, you need to take a step back and reassess the situation. If this Blazer was out the door as tested for about $40-42k, I think they would have a true hit on their hands. But most things on it are just parts off other GM cars. The instrument panel and gauges are taken right from the Buick Regal or Lacrosse, the engine is borrowed from most other GM V6 cars like the Regal GS, Impala V6, etc. Other interior bits are taken right out of the standard Camaros. And to tell you the truth, I really like the look of this Blazer RS. Very sharp and I'm not even an SUV guy. But all this parts bin sharing along with bad build quality is heresy to ask $50k for it. It's really just too bad. I would get a Honda Passport or if I really had to get a 2 row SUV, the 2019 Acura RDX A-Spec without a doubt and they are $45k for SH-AWD models.
