新的雪佛兰上衣与th进入市场e LT at an MSRP of $28,800, exclusive of the $1,195 destination charge and other fees. The 1LT starts at $32,300 while the 2LT is $32,800. Next up is the 3LT and that starts at a nice round $37,000. Fitting the 2LT or 3LT with the V6 will add just $500 to their base prices. The optional four-wheel-drive adds $2,000 to the Chevy Blazers price. The RS is standard with the larger motor and costs $40,600 while the top-level Premier sets you back $42,700. Four-wheel-drive costs $2,000 and is available from the 2LT up. A fully-loaded Premier with all the best packages and options will put a $55,565 dent into your savings, before fees, taxes, and other charges. Check with your dealer, though, as numerous incentives are available.

The Blazer is available with Traction Select, which, as the name implies, helps to distribute power more efficiently depending on a number of variables. 'Tour' will switch to front-wheel-drive for better fuel economy, 'Tow/Haul' - well it's obvious what that's for, 'Off-Road' adjusts the chassis control systems and throttle to better handle rougher roads, 'All-Wheel-Drive' is best used for snowy or slippery conditions, and 'Sport' beefs up throttle response to maximize performance. Each mode is noticeably different and actively enhances the driving experience to help make the most of the power at your disposal, but it's worth mentioning that this is no off-road machine and the four-wheel-drive system is there more for added traction in adverse weather conditions, so best keep your test drive to the urban jungle.

The unique variant in the lineup is the RS, which is already more sporty before you switch to that mode. Its steering and suspension have been tuned to be sharper and firmer respectively. Body roll is minimized on this model and the RS is genuinely entertaining to drive, not just a pretty trim option. Braking is strong and predictable, while the chassis remains composed over bumps. Be warned, though: front-wheel-drive models are prone to torque steer, so hang on to the steering wheel firmly if accelerating hard out of turns is your thing.

它的惊人美貌已经eno的理由ugh to make you the hot topic at the block party, but the Blazer is, all-in-all, more than just a design study to make your neighbors gawk. It's more comfortable than the Ford Edge, comes laden with tech and safety features, and has an interior that is beautiful to look at. The infotainment system is easy to use too, while the air conditioning vents are smartly designed and work well. Fuel economy is competitive and with the optional V6 engine, this is one smart-shifting SUV, with impressive handling for a vehicle of such lofty dimensions. The trunk area is also smartly packaged and the gearbox smooth. These days, you want more than just something to lug people and "stuff" around in - you want a stylish all-rounder that will look just as good on the seaside as it would on the red carpet, while still delivering practicality. The Chevrolet Blazer may divert slightly from its grandfather's original path, but it blazes its own trail brilliantly.

The RS was our favorite from last year's offerings and that remains the case today. The interior is well-appointed and looks stunning with its numerous red accents and perforated leather. In addition, you get the powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine and better suspension and steering tuning, enhancing the ride and helping to make driving an SUV fun. Numerous additional convenience features like navigation, a hands-free liftgate, a heated steering wheel, and more are fitted to this model from the factory, making it more comfortable and better equipped as a daily driver.

The ongoing competition between Ford and Chevy rages on here, with both manufacturers offering stylish crossover SUVs, the Blazer being more exciting to look at in comparison. If you prefer a slightly more restrained image, however, the Edge is better, and in ST form a genuinely cooking crossover, making it the winner in terms of outright performance. The Edge also outperforms the economy of the Blazer, if by a small margin. However, the Blazer RS is more comfortable and more capable of handling more aggressive driving. But crossovers are more about practicality and day-to-day comfort, and the Ford's cabin is better laid out and very refined. It's also more spacious and more comfortable for rear occupants. Although a little dated, the Edge is still the all-round better choice.

Also a relatively new competitor of an older nomenclature in the USA, the Honda Passport is not far off from the Blazer in terms of how much it delivers in performance. If you spec the all-new turbo engine on the Blazer, the Honda will make more power but lose out in the economy stakes. The Passport is a far larger machine and as such, can carry more people and stuff. With the seats folded, over a hundred cubic feet of volume allows you to haul almost anything, which the Chev can't compete with. Considering its far superior cargo-carrying capabilities, we have to forgive the Passport for its moderately worse gas mileage and give it the nod as a better and more practical SUV. For outright style and new-era street-cred, though, the Blazer has the Honda definitively outclassed.
