2020 Chevy Blazer – Lexington, KY

The 2020 Chevy Blazer features four main trims spread across six variations, along with multiple package options to further customize the SUV to suit your expectations and spending budget. Many of the trims come available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive, along with several accouterments that range from performance upgrades to accessibility components. Let's take a look.

The Base Option

The L trim is the entry-level model for the Blazer featuring a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission with an auto-manual option on a front-wheel drivetrain. The 18-inch silver aluminum wheels are kept on the road thanks to anti-roll bars, gas-pressured shocks, and speed-sensing rack-and-pinion power-assisted steering. The L trim also comes with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, six-way manual driver seat adjustments, and four-way manual passenger seat adjustments. Plus, this base trim offers dual-zone climate control, LED headlamps, an HD rear-vision camera, proximity-based keyless open and start, power windows, and heated power side-view mirrors.

The In-Betweens

The LT trim comes in three formats, the 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT. The 1LT comes with everything from the L trim but with the added features of an eight-way power driver seat, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, premium cloth upholstery, additional LCD monitor options, USB ports, and an entertainment system, along with 12-optional package upgrades. 

The 2LT contains the same features as the 1LT but comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbo engine instead of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder. And the 3LT combines all the other features from the previous trim configurations but with an added roof-rack, six-way passenger power seating, leather-trimmed steering wheel, carpeted cargo space, and leather upholstery.

The RS trim features everything from the 3LT trim but with even more luxury options available for car shoppers. Most notably is that the trim comes with a powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine instead of the 2.0-liter or 2.5-liter from previous trims. There are 20-inch dark machine-painted aluminum wheels that come standard with deep-tinted windows and multiple optional LCD monitors, along with voice-activated radio. A special RS signature grille and badging along with a heated steering wheel and a hands-free liftgate make the RS a trim worthy of performance-seekers with high standards.

The Top Option

The Premier trim is for those who won't settle for anything less than perfection. This top-of-the-line configuration contains all the luxury features from the RS but with the added special chrome fascia, dual-outlet exhaust, silver-mounted roof rails, driver memory settings, six USB ports, auto-locking doors, and optional adaptive cruise control with distance spacing. Bonus features such as door access FOB controls, remote window controls, and an optional panoramic sunroof are all just icing on top of the cake. 

The Premier trim is a pathway to luxury within the realm of sports utility crossovers and is the perfect compliment to those willing to go the extra mile for something special. That said, each of these trims has something unique to offer drivers. No matter the chosen trim, the Blazer is sure to satisfy. 

The Engines With Strength

The L and 1LT trims come with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 193 hp and 188 lb-ft of torque. For those who want extra gusto when stepping on the gas pedal, though, the 2LT and 3LT trims come with a 2.0-liter turbo engine that produces 230 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. This extra power is all in thanks to the intercooling and variable valve timing, which is an eco-friendly way of improving the fuel economy both in the city and on the highway.

The RS and Premier trims feature a powerful 3.6-liter V6 that puts the 2020 Chevy Blazer higher up on the performance charts with 308 hp and up to 270 lb-ft of torque. This affords the Chevy Blazer an opportunity to not only get you from your destination in style, but also with the performance to make your trips exhilarating and fun.

Towing With the Blazer

Towing capacity starts at 1,500 pounds for the L and 1LT trims, but escalates to 4,500 pounds for the RS, and Premier trims, enabling drivers to travel with boats or trailers for outdoor excursions. Plus, with 64.2 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the first row of seats and 30.5 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the second row of seats, you can easily store camping gear, sports equipment. Between the great towing capacity and the interior cargo space, travel is easier than ever with the powerful Blazer. 

As the world of technology grows, Chevy is certainly keeping up with the game. Standard technology in the 2020 Chevy Blazer is absolutely astonishing. Plus, optional luxury infotainment packages are available for the Chevy Blazer, specifically providing drivers and passengers with quality-of-life features to keep everyone entertained no matter what your destination is. Let's take a peek. 

Fun Technology

Every 2020 Blazer SUV comes standard with 4G LTE Wi-Fi access, allowing you to bring internet-enabled smart devices into the vehicle and stay connected while you travel. Built-in Bluetooth support means that you can free up the USB ports for essential devices while having smartphone access internet hotspots without having to plug a single cord from your phone into the vehicle.

The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 suite with an eight-inch LED touchscreen means you can stay informed about the health of the vehicle without stepping out of the cabin. Two additional first row LCD monitors are also available, providing passengers with the opportunity to watch or stream content during the ride. Upper trims offer two additional second row LCD monitors, with an optional entertainment system featuring DVD/Blu-ray compatibility.

Lastly, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto round out the entertainment features for those who have iPhones or Android devices willing to wirelessly stream content through the entertainment connectivity provided by the Chevy Blazer. With all of these fantastic features, no one will ever be bored in the Blazer.

The Blazer: Keeping Drivers Safe

Safety is a top priority for Chevrolet, and that's evident with the plethora of safety features present in the 2020 Chevy Blazer. The suspension is fitted with side-impact bars to reduce the force of impact from side collisions, while electronic stability control, traction control, and anti-lock brakes ensure that you maintain control of the vehicle at all times, no matter what the road conditions are.

Seven airbags are present, including dual front and side-impact airbags, child-seat sensing airbags, and a knee airbag to prevent serious injuries. A tracking system comes standard to locate the vehicle in case of theft or if the vehicle is lost. System monitors, pedestrian detection, and rear cross-traffic alert systems are designed to keep you aware at all times of your surroundings, while a built-in security system and perimeter approach lights work to keep the Blazer secure. 

Additionally, all Blazer trims come equipped with a Teen Driver system. This allows parents of new drivers to control the maximum speed, radio volume, and various other features of the vehicle when their teenager is driving without them. Plus, with this feature, parents can view a report on how their teenager drove while they were not in the car. In all, between the various driver-assist features, and this fantastic Teen Driver program, the Blazer is one of the safest vehicles on the road.
