The 2023 Chevy Blazer is the updated version of Chevrolet’s incredibly popular mid-size SUV that is designed with performance in mind while offering a suite of technology, safety, and convenience features that make it a breeze to drive. If you’re looking for a new vehicle, keep reading to see why the 2023 updates to the Blazer should make it to the top of your list.

The Blazer was first introduced in 2019 and is Chevrolet’s entry into the two-row SUV market. It’s got a sporty design, a high-performance suspension system that keeps the ride smooth, and the ability to tow up to a maximum of 4,500 pounds, which means that you can put the Blazer into almost any situation on the road and it will be able to perform.

Powertrain Options 

The Blazer comes standard with a 2L inline four-cylinder engine that boasts a powerful 228 horsepower, which can be optionally upgraded to a 3.6L V6 engine with an even more beastly 208 horsepower. Both engines are paired with an automatic 9-speed transmission and come standard with FWD, though AWD is available as an upgrade.

The inline-four enjoys a 3,500-pound towing capacity, while the V6 is able to haul up to 4,500 pounds. Both engines offer respectable average fuel economy ratings in both FWD and AWD variants. The inline-four enjoys a combined average rating of 25 and 24 mpg for FWD and AWD respectively, while the V6 has average ratings of 22 and 21 mpg in each drivetrain configuration.

What’s New in the 2023 Blazer? 

The Blazer received its first major facelift in 2023 and received a completely refreshed external appearance with a new front grille, new headlights, running lamps and taillights, and a brand-new 10-inch screen infotainment center that comes standard across all trim levels. In addition, new options were added to the Blazer, including a wireless charging pad and a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot to help you maintain your connectivity while on the road.

Additionally, the last major update to the 2023 model of the Blazer is the addition of a few new interior and exterior colors including sterling grey, bronze, and red exterior paint now available on all trim levels, as well as a dark blue interior option on the RS-level trim.
