Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2021, the Blazer lineup benefits from several minor updates. The Safety Assist package that includes automated emergency braking, automatic high-beams, front pedestrian detection, and lane-keeping assist is now standard on the 2LT, 3LT, RS, and Premier trim levels.

Pros
Standout styling,
engaging to drive,
spacious back seat and cargo area.

Cons
Base engine is undesirable,
some subpar interior materials,
best options reserved for priciest models.

Toyota is introducing the TRD Off-Road model for 2020, which comes with unique 18-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, a TRD Off-Road suspension kit with red coil springs, and plenty of TRD logos dotting the interior and exterior. Elsewhere in the lineup, Android Auto capability becomes a standard feature as does SiriusXM satellite radio; XLE models now come with a power-adjustable driver's seat but lose the standard moonroof, which becomes part of the optional Convenience package. The mid-range Adventure model gains a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, but that model's power liftgate is now optional. Limited trims now come with the premium JBL audio system as standard.

Pros
Rugged styling, available hybrid model, plenty of standard safety tech.

Cons
Overly spartan base model, rough-edged engine noise, mundane driving dynamics.
