Chevrolet today unveiled the refreshed 2023 Blazer, which receives slightly updated styling, a big 10-inch infotainment screen, new colors, new wheels, and more. From the outside, the updates are very subtle and the overall shape remains unchanged. There are, however, tweaks to some of the details that make a difference. The brightwork in the grille, for instance, still underlines the DRLs but now splits down to the reshaped lower light. Around back, the taillight design has also changed, with Chevrolet opting for an intersecting pattern instead of the chevrons the Blazer had previously.
Along with those changes, Chevrolet is
adding some new wheels to the mix in 18-, 20-, and 21-inch sizes. Customers
will also be able to get their Blazer in Fountain Blue, Sterling Gray Metallic,
Copper Bronze Metallic, and Radiant Red Tintcoat exterior colors, all for an
extra charge.
Inside, the RS model also gets a new
color: Nightshift Blue. More importantly, all models now come with a 10-inch center touchscreen
to help with all your infotainment needs. Wireless charging for smartphones is
now available on all models (standard on the RS and Premier models, available
as an option on the lower 2LT and 3LT models) and 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot is also
available now.
Chevrolet is also making the Blazer’s
driver assistance features available through more of the range. Adaptive Cruise
Control will now be available for the 2LT and 3LT models, while the Chevy
Safety Assist package comes standard. It offers automatic emergency braking, a
following distance indicator, forward collision alert, front pedestrian
braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warnings, and automatic high beams.
Under the hood, the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer
is offered with two engine options. Customers can opt for a 2.0-liter
inline-four that makes 228 hp and is paired to a nine-speed
automatic transmission or a 3.6-liter V6 that makes 308 hp and
is paired to the same transmission. The refreshed 2023 Chevrolet Blazer will go
on sale this summer, the automaker says. The company has not yet revealed what
impact these updates will have on the price of the vehicle.
