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.
