2021 Chevy Blazer review! The 2021 Chevy Blazer is a disappointment -- and a mistake. In a world of nostalgic, cool SUVs, Chevy burned the Blazer name by giving us this one, a boring crossover. Here's my review of the 2021 Chevy Blazer, including some of the quirks and features -- and a review of the Blazer's driving experience.

A lot of online automotive journalists and KZbin influencers have criticized GM for tainting the Blazer brand legacy with this watered down, wannabe Camero/Mustang E monstrosity, but you really drove home the point in your analysis. Good job and great video. Unfortunately, GM has never really been a company that learns from it's mistakes.

It's not a bad car at all, I honestly think it's better and more enjoyable than many other SUV's in its range, it's just the fact that it's name doesn't live up, it's like people calling the mach-e a "bad car" just because of it's name despite it being rated as one of the absolute best EV's by many top car enthusiast magazines. I agree it's heavily disappointing but to call it a "bad" car over it's name is just disingenuous. I just feel like people are way harder on GM than other brands justified or not.

I’m thinking they did this so they wouldn’t internally compete with the new Hummer, but they were too afraid to do what Ford did with the Mustang Mach E to do an actual Camaro SUV, so we ended up with a weird hybrid of both ideas, neither of which are executed very well.

New Hummer is 100k, that does not compete with the Bronco or the Wrangler and definitely not the 4Runner. They could’ve brought the Blazer back as a cheaper off road alternative but GM is too incompetent to do that
@ExaltedDuck
@ExaltedDuck Жыл бұрын
Not hummer. Tahoe and Suburban. A smaller off-road capable vehicle with actual 4 wheel drive and on a proper truck chassis, especially if they could keep it around 45-60k, would have absolutely cut the knees off their overly bloated (in size and price) 1500-based SUVs. And if it was meant to be a Camaro SUV, it should have been an Alpha platform instead of Chi. A transverse engine FWD based chassis - even with a good AWD system - will never match a proper longitudinal RWD platform. Best engine for the Blazer is a 310 hp V6. Over at FCA, the Durango and Grand Cherokee start with the pentastar and can receive Hemis and Hurricanes and have had SRT and Hellcat variants. Hard to even compare them to GM's C1XX lineup of soulless driving appliances.

After searching for a car for months. I couldn’t decide between a 2021 jeep grand cherokee limited and the 2021 blazer rs. So i test drove both and can honestly say i was more impressed with the rs. I was so impressed i decided to purchase the Blazer rs instead of the jeep. And absolutely LOVE IT. With plenty of power to do anything you wan’t, plenty of room for my girlfriend and 2 dogs with a decent amount of trunk space. Although I agree the Famous “Blazer” name was misplaced. If you take that aspect away it is a very nice and reliable crossover suv. I believe if it had a different name it would have much better reviews.

My guess is they just threw this Blazer together with minimum development costs to focus on the next wave of electric vehicles. I avoid Chevy's and yet I bought a Bolt. It's quality and engineering seems so far removed from every other GM product I've driven (no I haven't driven the new Corvette).

The thing is, the new Blazer doesn't actually suck- in fact, it's a totally decent, totally reasonable car. There's really nothing super wrong with the Blazer. The problem is, there's really nothing *right* with it either. Pandemic and supply chain problems aside, it's a serious indication that we're living in a high-water era of automobiles when a perfectly acceptable, reasonably attractive, and largely inoffensive car like this can be so roundly panned. In recent years, we've just seen so much innovation and quality that "good enough" just isn't. Tesla, Rivian, new Defender and Wrangler, any new Ford or Toyota truck, Mach E, F-Type, BRZ, Miata RF, Taycan, virtually everything from Korea, even the Honda Odyssey- there are just so many excellent cars, in every segment and at every price, that the new Blazer is entirely superfluous and destined to fail from day one.

It's 2022 and they are still using tiny screens when the Ford Edge has a giant portrait positioned 12" screen. By the time GM gets into the off-road market, the trend will have passed.

Ive been a lifelong GM fan, but that has changed in the last few years. I was in the market for a truck back in 2006. I remember thinking "oh, i need to see if there will be a new body style released before i buy a new chevy." Once i saw the "revised" body style planned for 07, i immediately went to the Chevy dealership and bought the 06 classic style. I still have the 06 to this day and have no plans to sell it. It seems that most new vehicles have turned their back on their heritage. Ford did it with the lightning, Mustang SUV thing, and the Maverick, but at least they still have available options that stay relatively true to their origins.

How in the hell do they miss that mark on "optional" buttons on a $50k truck? At that price point, all of the buttons should be there, not a blank for steering wheel controls. The previous years Silverado, the buttons were similar to those of a calculator in the 90's.

I can sort of see why Chevy played it safe, they thought that most buyers of the off-road focused vehicles take their vehicle off road 5% of the time, so they assumed that sensible customers would opt for something less excessive. But, they are wrong, because it's not necessarily about using the capability, it's more about showing off and saying that you HAVE the capability.

It's definitely about the showing off. I'm convinced that's what 99% of the buyers of those other offroaders buy them for. So honestly, that's all GM needs to do. Build something with an iconic name that people will buy and customize to look like a rock crawler but that never leaves suburbia.

It’s kind of disturbing. Driving a more inefficient/expensive vehicle just so one can feel adventurous or whatever. I always laugh at the Subarus jeeps Toyotas that drive around with the cargo racks and gas cans and shovels attached to the car that they will NEVER use but let it create drag that easily takes away 5mpg at highway speeds.

This is what the auto industry calls a "parts-bin special". I think GM is hurting for cash and lack the will to quickly and fully migrate to EVs. Petrol ICE vehicles are like heroine to the Big-3 automakers. All 3, Stelantis, GM, and Ford, are going to need a whole lot of rehab, restructuring, and possible resurrection if they don't pivot FAST to EVs and off-road adventure market segment! The pandemic has driven people to get outside and off the beaten path away from people in their off-road vehicles. GM missed a great opportunity here.

When it was announced, I thought it was going to replace the the Equinox....that didn't happen. As an even bigger disappointment, the trailblazer, I was sure they were going to use that as their "off roader" since it was super popular on its original run. They shrunk it, I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be.

Just bought a 23 Blazer and love it. I don't care what the name on the badge is. It suits my needs and has the best styling of anything else in the category IMO. I would love to see GM make a body on frame SUV based on the Colorado, but the name they put on it isn't what's going to sell me. I buy based on my needs and features and styling of the car not the name. I have a hard time understanding why people are so mad about the name. If anything they should just be upset that their isn't a smaller body on frame SUV than the Tahoe, but who cares what name is on the lift gate...?

Agree 100%. They totally missed the mark with this. The equinox serves as their S-10 replacement. They could have made this an off-road vehicle or at least a performance oriented one a la the short lived and rare GMC Syclone. Probably too small of an engine compartment to squeeze the 6.2 in it, but that’s what they should have been going for. Off roader with an available ZL-1 package. Hell, if it slightly resembled the 2 door K-5s, I would have bought one immediately.

Doug mimics exactly what I thought when I saw these first come out. I was reminded of the S10 series versions back in the day which wasn't that great either. Chevy has the equinox and the traverse already. if you want a step up from equinox you go acadia or caddy xt6. If you need more than five then traverse or enclave or up further to burban yukon etc. Ford did something similar making the ranger an odd duck. They are correcting that mistake with the maverick though.
