The Blazer does offer desirable content, such as ambient interior lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats. While the fancier models receive leather surfaces and flashier materials, the mid-level trims have too many cheap pieces of trim and mostly grayscale colors. The visual flourishes include soft-touch plastics and a two-tone color scheme.
These vents can be twisted to adjust the temperature settings. Inside, the Blazer's design is heavily inspired by the Chevy Camaro, with an intuitive climate-control system that features round air vents below the center stack. For more information about the Blazer's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. The Honda Passport and Hyundai Santa Fe both earned 27 mpg in the same test. We haven't tested the four-cylinder version on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, but the all-wheel-drive, V-6 Blazer earned 24 mpg during our real-world test. The V-6 version is slightly thirstier, with estimates of up to 20 mpg city and 27 highway. The Blazer with the standard turbo four is rated at up to 22 mpg city and 29 highway.

Thankfully, both models remain hushed on even surfaces and at highway speeds. Its standard 18-inch wheel-and-tire combo provides a smoother and quieter ride than the RS model, which wears large 21-inchers and thuds over bumpy roads. Even so, the Blazer isn't as engaging to drive as its styling might suggest. It is confident and responsive on twisty sections of road, especially the RS model, which has different steering and suspension tuning. With steady composure and accurate steering, the Blazer is easily the best-driving crossover to wear the Chevrolet bow tie. The four-cylinder can tow up to 1500 pounds, while the V-6 version can handle up to 4500 pounds.
CHEVROLET CROSSOVER DRIVERS
The last Blazer RS we tested hit 60 mph in 6.6 seconds and it also impressed with short times for passing maneuvers, something drivers will appreciate when merging onto a busy highway or when overtaking slower traffic. However, the V-6 delivers impressive acceleration and provides added confidence when passing on the highway. The front-drive, turbo-four version has sufficient power for getting around town and highway duty. Both pair with a nine-speed automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. The Blazer features a standard a 228-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and an optional 308-hp 3.6-liter V-6. We'd choose the V-6 and the towing package and add the Sound and Technology package that includes a 120-volt outlet, a 360-degree camera system, additional USB ports, a Bose stereo, and a rearview camera mirror. All-wheel drive is available for another $2700. We recommend the 3LT trim level because it unlocks the V-6 engine option, which increases the max towing capacity from 3500 to 4500 pounds (when equipped with the trailering equipment, of course).
