The new Blazer, riding on the same underpinnings as the GMC Acadia and the Cadillac XT5, sits nearest to the Edge and the Murano on paper. Chevrolet makes no off-road posturing, and it’s dimensionally close to those two competitors. Although it is arriving late to the party, the Blazer attempts to make up for lost time with an aggressive, overtly sporty mission that starts with its rakish looks.
The main hiccup in the Blazer’s otherwise appealing package is its steep pricing. Chevrolet structures its trim levels so that they appear roughly competitive with front-wheeldrive models starting from just under $30,000 and are priced up to the mid $40,000 range. But not much equipment comes standard, even on higher trims, and the options are quite costly.
The new Blazer 2019 is selling at around $50,765.
