Chevrolet Blazer
The Chevrolet Blazer is the performance-flavored alternative to the more family-focused Equinox, offering a sportier exterior design, available V6 power, and a more driver-centric character without sacrificing practicality. If you want a midsize SUV that stands out in the parking lot and still handles the daily grind, the Blazer is the direction to look. It is available in a range of configurations from sensible to spirited, and there is a trim level to match nearly every preference.

Engine Options and Performance
The Blazer offers two engine options. The base powertrain is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 228 horsepower, a solid performer that is capable and fuel-efficient for most driving. The available 3.6-liter V6 produces 308 horsepower, delivering a noticeably more engaging driving experience with confident passing power. The V6 is particularly well-matched to the RS trim, where the sportier character of the powertrain pairs with the SUV’s more aggressive aesthetics. Towing capacity reaches up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped with the V6.
Interior and Technology
The Blazer’s interior matches its sporty exterior with available sport seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and unique trim-specific color combinations on the RS grade. The standard infotainment system features a large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available features include a head-up display, a Bose premium sound system, rear park assist, and a panoramic moonroof. Rear-seat space is adequate for most passengers, and the cargo area provides practical everyday utility despite the Blazer’s sportier proportions.
All-Wheel Drive and Winter Handling
All-wheel drive is available throughout the Blazer lineup and recommended for Wisconsin drivers who deal with snow and ice seasonally. The AWD system actively monitors traction and distributes power between the front and rear axles as conditions require. The Blazer’s suspension tuning leans toward a firmer, more controlled feel compared to the Equinox, which contributes to more confident highway handling and cornering response while keeping everyday ride comfort well within a comfortable range for passengers.
