Feb 3, 2023

The Chevrolet Blazer has been a popular choice among midsize SUVs since its debut in 2019. With some minor but seriously stylish updates for 2023, it promises to keep up with the competition, retaining the same athletic performance and sleek handling that has set it apart from other SUVs and kept customers happy for years. But we’re just scratching the surface – there’s plenty more to enjoy in this year’s Chevy Blazer. Let’s take a closer look.

A First Look at the 2023 Chevy Blazer

A Facelift for 2023

The 2023 Blazer boasts a brand new front grille design, redesigned 18- and 21-inch wheels, and a suite of paint choices such as copper bronze metallic, summit white, and red hot. We love that wireless device charging now comes standard, and the newly upgraded infotainment system now boasts a 10.2-inch touchscreen. This is probably the biggest change for 2023, the system coming with crystal-clear graphics and working quickly and responsively when commanded.

Other Great Tech

You can also enjoy standard infotainment features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, Bluetooth, four USB ports, a robust six-speaker stereo, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and satellite radio. Also coming standard is keyless entry, push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control. You barely even need an upgrade, but feel free to do so and enjoy things like navigation, an eight-speaker stereo, two additional USB ports, and wireless device charging.

The Best Handling in Its Field

One of the Blazer’s standout features is its athletic handling. The Blazer has quick and responsive steering, receptive brakes that work with confidence, and minimal body lean. These factors make it a seriously show-stopping drive. If you opt for the available all-wheel drive, you’ll be able to handle snowy pavement and gravel roads with ease. 20- and 21-inch wheels are optional.

Two Bold Engine Options

You’ve got your base engine, which is a 228-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder. Upgrading will get you a 308-horsepower V6. Both engines pair with a nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive as an available option. For brisk inner-city driving capabilities, the base engine will suit you nicely. For something with a little extra pep that will see you margin confidently on the highway, go for the V6.

A Safety Suite To Keep Your Mind at Ease

The 2023 Blazer is tremendously equipped with smart safety features. Standard driver-assistance features include automatic high-beam headlights, teen driver, a rearview camera, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, pedestrian detection, forward automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and rear-seat alert.

Available features include rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, a surround-view parking camera system, adaptive cruise control, and a safety alert seat.

Overall, the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer builds upon its previous success, offering minor yet impressive updates that make it a strong competitor in the midsize SUV market. To get your hands on one today, come to Merle Stone Chevrolet in Porterville, CA, today.
