2019 Honda Passport Elite vs. Chevy Blazer RS - Which Should Be Your Next Family SUV?
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 07. 2019
- The rugged 2019 Honda Passport and sporty 2019 Chevrolet Blazer are two new intriguing SUVs that seem ripe for people looking for fun vehicles but have expanded passenger and cargo needs. Video hosts Alistair Weaver and Jonathan Elfalan have both recently become new dads and seek to determine which one is the better pick.
If there's anything the Blazer does well, it's make a style statement. Chevy adapted the aggressive muscle-car styling of its Camaro to a midsize family SUV, which makes the Blazer look sportier than anything in the class. The Blazer's interior is less impressive, plagued with design compromises that have functional drawbacks and obvious cost-reduction measures in the wrong places. And the price of our tester was steep, at over $50K.
The Passport doesn't share the exterior panache of the Blazer, but its cabin feels leagues better, both in quality and use of space. And although the Blazer could outpace the Passport by a small margin on most roads, the driving experience in the Passport is simply superior. With more space, more driving engagement, a smarter design, and more features for the money, the Honda Passport is not only a landslide favorite but also our top-ranked midsize SUV.
2019 Chevrolet Blazer Review
The 2019 Chevy Blazer is an all-new vehicle, but it's been around in several forms, dating back to the 1960s. In its most iconic form, it was a two-door SUV with a removable top. For 2019, the Blazer morphs into a five-seat crossover SUV that fills a gap in Chevy's lineup between the smaller Equinox and the three-row Traverse.
The new Blazer comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine good for 193 horsepower. It's an underwhelming mill for this size of SUV, so we'd go with the optional 3.6-liter V6. It puts out more than 300 hp and is capable of towing up to 4,500 pounds. On the inside, the Blazer offers a long list of available equipment such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with desirable safety features such as adaptive cruise control and forward collision mitigation.
The 2019 Blazer is available in four trim levels: L, Blazer (also called the LT), RS, and Premier. The L trim level is the base model, with a decent amount of standard equipment, including a few key tech items. You're more likely to find the next-level Blazer trim on dealer lots, however, and it comes in three subtrims: 2.5L Cloth, 3.6L Cloth and 3.6L Leather. They offer increasing amounts of safety equipment plus the upgraded engine. The Chevy Blazer RS has a sporty look with some unique exterior details, while the Premier is the most luxurious.

2019 Honda Passport Review
The all-new Passport is a shorter and taller Honda Pilot, which is certainly a good place to start. The Pilot is one of our favorite three-row crossover SUVs. Because it's shorter, the Passport doesn't have a third-row seat as the Pilot does. Instead, it dedicates more interior space to its second-row passengers. Honda also made the Passport a little more off-road capable thanks to a higher ground clearance and better approach and departure angles.
Under the hood, the 2019 Honda Passport gets the same V6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission that the Pilot uses. That V6 gives it 5,000 pounds of towing capability and strong unladen acceleration. We've been critical of the Pilot's nine-speed automatic in the past for clunky shifts. But with the Passport, Honda has seemed to have solved most of those issues.
The Passport is available in four trim levels: Sport, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. Every Passport comes with Honda's 3.5-liter V6 (280 hp, 262 lb-ft of torque) and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on the Sport, EX-L and Touring. All-wheel drive is standard on the Elite and optional on the other three trim levels.
The topped-out Honda Passport Elite is certainly the most desirable trim level with its ventilated seats and LED interior lighting, but we recommend most buyers look at the midlevel EX-L first. The EX-L offers all the standard safety equipment of the base Sport trim plus extras such as blind-spot monitoring and heated front seats. The EX-L also gets the Passport's larger 8-inch center screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

It was funny when at the end they say they would shockingly choose the Passport. One minute into the video I could tell which they liked.
Stephen Zerfas because the blazer is worse?
@@Pilot_graaape_45 No, my point was you could tell from the beginning of the video which they clearly liked better, there was nothing shocking about the conclusion.

"...The Blazer is the family vehicle that actually appeals to the whole family, and for that reason it upsets the Honda on its home court."

The world needs more reviews like this. Thank you to the whole team for your reviews!
I like the passport
Can't afford either at the moment, but I would pick the Passport.
$50k for the Blazer is absolutely laughable. Granted prices of cars just keep increasing. But for that money There are tons of better options available.
2k rebate
Sheth Jones there needs to be a zero after the 2
senorgato: I have to agree $50k is a joke. I'm not the least bit impressed with the Blazer.
Buying my 2020 Blazer RS for only 37k with cargo package, and drivers assistance. Brand new. so they deffinently listened to customers and cut down the price by a lot.
Austin That or people are just not buying them.
I absolutely love Edmunds! I’m an internet manger at a Honda dealership here in SoCal (Carson Honda) to be exact :) I just bought a new 2021 Honda Passport and I have to agree 100% with this review. Y’all hit it spot on! This video inspired me to attempt my own car reviews in hopes I can one day join the Edmunds team :)
Y’all are great thanks for amazing content!
I bought the 2019 Honda Passport Touring model for 34,600. Absolutely love it.
Is that with AWD? If so, that's a helluva deal, especially being a brand new model.
No front wheel drive. I’m in Florida no need for AWD
B. L no FWD I’m in Florida no need for AWD
If Honda's timing chain issue in the 3.5 V6 gets worked out, I wouldn't mind trading my 2004 Grand Cherokee on a used one couple years down the line. I tend to keep cars for a long time, and although I love my Grand Cherokee, it's on it's second engine, and almost needs another transmission (15 years old, just hit 120,000 miles of mostly city driving). My money might go to a Highlander.
@@DjStorm-1 ... still 5k off sticker, that's a helluva deal. Just got an RDX A-Spec and it was like pulling teeth trying to get 3k off sticker from anywhere.
I just test drove a blazer RS... it was actually quite fun in almost a comical or “Mini” way... looked funky inside and out and drove “sporty.” But in no way is this a better buy than much of its competition. The Blazer suits a niche market of a GM fan boy or someone who wants to be different. Having said that, most reviews of the Blazer are actually quite better than this one.
I love how they downplay that the Blazer is more sporty than the Passport, saying "no SUV is a sports car." Then they compare it to the luxury market, and end that the CX-5 is one SUV that handles better. They don't even bother to test the track times because that would show it substantially faster. The two cars serve different markets - plain and simple.
indeed. the passport pretends to be off road capable- blazer is clearly for on road use for folks who arent looking for a box on wheels.
I knew before watching the passport would win. Reviewers, editors, critics, etc have worshipped Honda for decades. I agree on the price tag of the blazer it’s outrageous. But, the lower end trims, like the base, are actually very nice and give them a year or two and they’ll shuffle options and make price adjustments just like any other car company does to meet consumer needs.
people act like the competition is WAY cheaper. A murano tops out at $46k and the edge tops out at $48k with the base engine. No one is paying $50k for a blazer, there is already 2k rebate and you can get them for 2k under MSRP. So basically only a couple grand over the loaded pilot for a vehicle with more features.
“Blazer” the passport is probably my favorite vehicle on the market rn i love the thought they put into it ik its got the same interior as the pilot ik some people don’t like that. but honestly it’s a good interior “don’t fix what ain’t broke” haha i wanna get this thing hard
the real test should be which one will last the longest after the warranty is over , which makes the Honda Passport the clear winner
leasing??? Ever heard of that?
@@shethjones4494 ever heard of driving a car for +20 years to get your moneys worth without having major problems , i have its called Toyota
Basically was choosing between 4runner vs passport vs blazer vs telluride. I got the crystal black passport. Passport wins in so many ways
$50k? I'd rather get a Lexus RX
...with no options ...if you actually visit a Lexus dealership, an RX is $53-60K all day. So, yes, as has been true forever, comparing a loaded cheaper brand to a base luxury brand, the price is similar.
Good luck with that
Ugh, I’d rather not have a Lexus at all because they’re all so ugly... but for $50K I’d rather have an Acura RDX thats fully loaded and still have $4K leftover in my pocket. Or, I’d rather just have a Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD. Lexus, no. Anything else, yes.
@@shethjones4494
Lexus loses it value just like any other luxury vehicle. So I wouldn't believe the wive's tale about Lexus holding their value. Residual values are set by the banks and the food chain of auction and dealerships just play along to make as much money as they can out the consumers.
Edmunds long term test of the Lexus GS loosing over 1/3 of it's value from MSRP.
"Resale and Depreciation:
We accumulated 20,940 miles on our 2013 Lexus GS 350. Edmunds' TMV® Calculator valued the vehicle at $47,431 based on a private-party sale. The market did not seem to support this price, as CarMax offered us $40,000 and the best we could muster from a private partywas $41,000. This made for 30-percent depreciation from our paid price of $58,377. We were disappointed
@@CFG39 "Consumer Reports can no longer recommend six car models, including the Acura RDX SUV... because of problems identified in CR’s annual reliability survey. The survey has data on 470,000 vehicles as reported by their owners."
low beltline and large glass windows is a feature i hope all suvs go back to like the mid 90’s - makes the suvs look so cool - no one wants to sit in a bunker with no outward visibility.
A bunch of SUV's are like caves with no visibility. It's just unfortunate.
@@Spiderfang-pu2zr What makes it even worse is that the seats are sitting too low and the hood and dashboard is too high. I have a big 2007 Ford Econoline high top conversion van and I love it to death. Plenty of room and easy to see out of. It's about 8 feet tall and I can stand up and walk around inside it. The thing I like most about high top conversion vans is how the back seat folds out into a sofa bed.
Lorenzo Cooper I can see perfectly fine out of my Cx-3
“just ask Porsche”, that’s funny because the Porsche Cayenne and Macan out sell all other Porsche models combined!
It’s settled I’m buying the PASSPORT
John Doe
Did you buy it?
Rey Perez
I did! I love it!!
Spacious, convenient, luxurious, and quick. It’s perfect for me.
@@Tikimang Good. I did too is amazing.
Got mine this summer, it’s amazing
@@byronbrown8822 Looking into getting one also.
What about the same video but for dads who don’t want SUV’s? Perhaps a Kia stinger vs VW Arteon ???
I like the look of the blazer the front end looks really aggressive and stands out, but for 50k I’ll pass
50 grand for that blazer? Cheesus Christ
The new blazer looks tacky in the sport trim, cheap in the lower trims, and for the price of the car it offers way too little.
I'll stick with my 2006 pilot.
Dad kinda review, i like it
This video focuses greatly on comparing the sporty driving of the two cars. I moved to a AWD Passport from the last of the Acura Cl-S, 17 years old; on its last day it drove "sporty" and then some. Let me tell you - these SUVs are not sporty by any definitions which makes any sense. I don't know the Chev, but the Passport drives quickly and fairly precisely - good enough for me. It's a lot less work to drive an my old Acura, which at 74 I appreciate. If you want sporty, why are you looking at an SUV?
Okay so this is my thought. Yes, the passport is a great vehicle, it has a lot of options and it looks nice. But I recently bought a Blazer RS and I absolutely adore it. I can admit, it was very pricey, more than what an SUV of that standards. But either way it's great. I wish they had the option for the 6.2L V8 engine considering the engine bay appears to have the room for it. None the less, I digress. I love the way it looks, it has a sporty look which makes me feel very happy when I sit inside it. I can't tell you how many head turns I've gotten with that car. When I was sitting in a parking lot once, a couple turned and looked at the Blazer and smiled and walked away. Another man gave me the thumbs up and smiled at me through a drive through. Yes it has flaws, but they can easily be brushed under the rug once you get in it and drive it. But I can say that the passport is also an amazing vehicle. I just prefer the Blazer.
It's nice Chevy has the option of the RS for people like you, and me who prefer the sporty look. This review is pretty silly not comparing apples to apples. Their nit picking reminds me of trying to convince an Apple phone user to buy a Samsung. Both are great, but it's the interface you are use to as to what you are going to buy. If you want to be a boring soccer mom that likes vehicles that have little USB covers and that look like a brick with wheels, buy the Honda. If you like sporty looks and don't mind to spend the extra to get the RS package, buy the RS.
@@craigm3253 I agree
I don't know man I bought the Honda.
5.8 0 to 60.Just smoked RS yesterday.
The Honda is cheaper has better is a better quality interior. We'll run longer.
Is faster. It's a free country go blow 50 grand.
Love the new passport. Awesome video! I too agree with you and result and how the blazer looks awesome, but poor execution. The passport is so nice looking and has the Honda fine touch.
" I'm going to have to shockingly go with the passport " *after shiting on the Camaro the entire video and praising the passport the whole time*
They knew what they were up to when they had to caution viewers not to inundate the comments here with criticism of their conclusions.
Passport if there’s no deals, Blazer if you’re getting $14k off
No, that is not enough. Need to take $40k off of the sticker of a Blazer to chose it over any of it competitors. Passport, Murano, Edge, Grand Cherokee, a 3 year old off lease Lexus RX
You cannot get more than 4k off
Sheth Jones - just wait - once chevy realizes they arent selling enough- they’ll be giving DEEP discounts. ill still pass.
@@tmwall25 well more reason to get one
@@tmwall25 so you are saying the fact it will be cheaper is a negative??? If that ever happens. Right now incentives are modest- sorry to disappoint
I like the blazer better
That Blazer won’t last 5 years without issues. Sure it looks great, but like everyone says... it’s gonna fall apart. I’ll take the Passport hands down anyway.
Heng, based on historic differences in quality id say you are correct.
I’ve seen 3 Blazers in the months since it was released. I feel bad for whoever got swindled at their Chevy dealer and actually bought one.
Great and thorough review, these guys are awesome!
I’m getting a Passport soon, going to put a little lift on it and get some 18” wheels and slightly beefier tires for skiing
The Passport Wins No Doubt Because It’s Way More Reliable Than The Blazer, The Blazer Is A GM Product!
lol, they "shockingly" chose the passport.
i have eyes and ears, you could just tell they were more into the passport.
i do like the looks of the blazer, but i just bought the passport sport, the lowest trim for like 29K.
You can get an Alfa Romeo stelvio for less than the stupid blazer
Is that with 4WD too??
I like the exterior lines of the Blazer more than the Passport....but that is about it. Easy decision between these two.
Wife and I just got the Passport. Its got more cargo space than the Blazer, and is a much better value. We were originally thinking we'd get the GMC Acadia but it just seems like GM products these days are overpriced for what you get. The Honda might be a little less stylish on the outside, but the overall package being slightly higher quality and for a bit less money makes it an easy win.
Chevrolet's pricing is absolutely whack. THE BABIES ARE SOOOO CUTE THOUGH!!!!
The blazer is nice looking and interior is pretty nice, but that price will need to come down. I still would stay with the passport for the family SUV and I am not a honda fan, so don't think I would take the popular choice. Just me without the family, I would go Blazer with a discounted price.
This comparo was a joke. They basically said pilot interior was near luxury levels. They lost all credibility with the interior comments
Love the track part now just put a stopwatch on every vehicle
Chevy marketing must be high to price this thing thousands higher than a Honda Passport. Honda has a reputation for reliability with one of the best V6 engines in existence. Not to mention Honda’s material quality is so much better. Passport should top at 35k for it most loaded V6 to have a prayer. Even then I take Passport. Only things that let pPassport down are lack of shift level, and that nine speed transmission which I hope is better in this implementation.
a) many people lease b)there is no major difference in reliability in most brands today c) the materials are not better in the Passport. I dont think one person who has echoed that sentiment has actually been in a blazer. How can any remotely objective person LOOK at that Passport interior (already 3 years old) and claim it looks sumptuous? Please
Buy a GM product? NEVER!
If you've never own one then don't shit about it.
Rashaud L. My Spark is a pos
I never had a good experience with a GM product except the 2014 Chevrolet SS who has been excellent so far but I’ll never buy another GM
The passport should win. Take a look at the ex-l in modern steel, black interior. Add the weather tech wind deflectors and OEM rails, crossbars yourself and get the AWD model. Hands down a great suv. Take mine on logging roads with a load of hunting dogs on the weekends. I actually need the AWD and this model can do it along with a decent ride height. Should be an easy choice.
I do like the exterior of the blazer but that's about it. Glad I bought the passport
You have take into consideration that A lot of people these days who drive have a hard time turning their heads looking over their shoulders. So I am glad to see the cameras.
No! Honda doesn't have cameras, so they must be bad!!!
Also the blazer is $55k+ BMW price range and safety are optional still. The Honda is get however that 9 speed sucks. Mazda CX-5 turbo or Alfa Stelvio for handling and fun factor
Lord Commander Manny the Stelvio is cheaper than the Chevy lmao
I love the comparison of the dip and left hand turn. The Passport is nearly thrown into the K-rail, yet they state that the Blazer is less stable.
Sure . . .
This was in the bag from the start. They said styling was only blazer attribute and it was half assed in every other way.
That's what happens when you write the review in advance from predetermined conclusions. This "review" is a like paid advert for Honda, but not surprising coming from Edmunds.
It's the only wholly negative review I've seen/read about the Blazer - though everyone slams it's cost, especially relative to the quality of the materials used in the interior. And the use of the Blazer name, of course.
@@ktpinnacle You could see where it was going when they complained the USB ports didn't have covers, and that the display screen didn't tilt. Of course Honda's doesn't either, but whatever. When they make claims that stuff in one vehicle seems thought out better without offering specifics, it becomes quite obvious.
@@ab348 true
Excellent review. More like this.
Without question the Blazer RS is a much better handling cross over than any competitor. With 21" wheels, beefed up sport suspension, wider track, vector AWD and quicker steering ratio all others are really only baby haulers as these mom's proved.
You sound like a salesman who doesnt truly understand the product their selling.
@@ALMX5DP the RS handles as well as a Stelvio 2.0T Ti in Motor Trend testing.
@@normt5463 Ok but what does that have to do with the OP sounding like a salesman? Like what is "beefed up" about the suspension, or what is "vector" AWD? Are they better than the revised suspension for the Passport or it's IVTM-4 torque vectoring AWD system?
@@normt5463 Do you just read MT and Edmunds to barf up the info on these comments? Come up with your own thoughts.
@@ALMX5DP compared to CR-V ther Passport(Acura) and Blazer RS offer a rear torque vectoring AWD that can send 100% to the outside wheel during a turn. The GM Twin Clutch AWD can send 60% of torque rearward where the Passport can 70%. The blazer can send 100% torque to the a single wheel while the other three slip. This allows it to succeed on the three roller test with one wheel on the ground. Honda and Acura cannot do that.
since it doesn't look like toyota will be bringing back a v6 rav4 any time soon, i want to pick a passport up in a few years at around $15k
I own this passport. But the chevy is alot more attractive than it. But the passport beats everything else the chevy has.
There’s no way Chevy is going to sell these at sticker price. There will be plenty of discounts. Blazer looks better in my opinion, but never again a GM product for me. Honda for the win!
Agree that it won't be going for that price tag.
... Discounts still make it $40k, which is still 10k too much...
In 6 months the Blazer will be $239 $0 down lease, or 14k discounted.
I think realistically, the KIA Sorento and Mazda CX-9 are closer to these vehicles than other three row crossovers. If you disagree with that statement, I would invite you to sit in the third row of either of those vehicles for more than 20 minutes. So that being said, they are direct competition to these vehicles. Which means interior build quality and materials quality are being measured by those standards as well. Honda seemed to get the memo on that and Chevrolet did not.
We own a Honda pilot and we can attest that family convenience is top notch! I've owned and been in several Chevy products and I've always been left wanting. They just aren't fully baked. As they said here: designers and engineers weren't on the same page!!!! The Honda is the better product, it will be more reliable and in 5 years, it will be worth a lot more than the Chevy. At $50k, is expect the Blazer to have $10k on the hood by years end!
Eddie Baba my 2010 pilot touring has been great except for a couple transmission issues that were cheap fixes
The Blazer nameplate will be dead again in no time. How GM stays in business is beyond me.
The middle is the best place for a baby car seat.
I like the styling better in the chevy but its overpriced and honda is more reliable.
A better comparison to the Blazer would have been a Mazda CX 9. And you know who would easily win that comparison. That being said, I used to have a Honda Pilot for 3 years that was an excellent vehicle, zero problems. I'm sure the Passport is just as good. Chevy on the other hand, doesn't seem to make great mid or small SUVs anymore.
I have to say that to my eyes, the Passport interior is a huge letdown. The Accord interior is much nicer looking and feeling. That cheap shiny plastic trim is ugly AF. There’s nothing about the blazer that excites me and they’ve lost their mind with the pricing. A blazer can go for over $50,000. Give me a break. It looks like an entry level subcompact crossover from the outside.
Jonathan Losito the Blazer is priced insanely high. Hardly anyone is buying them, at least not in the large volumes GM hoped for. I can’t imagine anyone looking at one and thinking $50K seems like a reasonable price for the highest trim level.
GM hits a new low . . .
50k for a blazer? LOL Those things are going to be deeply discounted, for 50k go get a X3 or discounted X5 or something along those lines, not a Chevy...
what new X5 cost 50k? PErhaps you mean a 3 or 4 year old X5
And the BMW is a money pit. So how is that better?
Wait a year you'll get it used for 20k
As much as we want to think this is a comparison it isnt. Gm vs honda, honda is always gonna win because of its reliability. Come american companies get us shit together!!
“The fact that you ...” called it the Pilot at 19:51 tells you how forgettable the car really was. These two are absolutely biased. No wonder you do not see them on film too often. Elana where are you?
@Benjamin Burkhardt Well the Blazer doesnt look boring the Honda looks boring so yea.
Ers1027 = extremely biased
You called the passport the pilot
Easy to see why
How harsh are we going to be on the Blazer today? Edmunds - Yes
Every other review of the blazer has been positive. Motor trend did the same comparo and the blazer won they said it was one the best driving suv so I don't get this review at all they was extra harsh and looking at that track part the Honda look like it was jump off the damn track haha
@@telliesmith9825 cold knuckles though
This wasn't a serious test, two Honda fans shown
@@SSDracerSD somehow they missed fact vents can be tilted and closed off to cut airflow. They also said backseat passengers can't control airflow when there are clearly rear a.c. vents shown
...
So the pilot is a better car in every way besides looks.👍🏼😀
No. Less hp, less features, worse handling, less incentives, less tech- but other than that its better
@@shethjones4494 6k cheaper too
For 50k id take the ford edge st.
BIG POPPA or an Alfa stelvio
Passport all day
Either one
Theres nothing better than a minivan for a family! Buy a minivan for the fam and buy a sporty car for u and ur wife to have a lil
Fun
Blazer for me
I like passport
I like blazer
A year later, BLAZER WINS!
Honda Reliability... GM products simply don’t have it.
I wouldn’t pay over 30k for the Blazer
they all cost more than that. Just rephrase by saying you would never buy any Chevy model ever regardless of merit. That clears things up
Well then you don' get no Blazer. :)
Blazer 2.5l is less than that!
Blazer... Over priced pile of Sheet.
its funny because the blazer's tech is designed exactly how i would want it. i hate USB ports in the console and the charge pad is exactly where i put my phone in my car, but it could be worse. it could look as ugly as the passport
Who in the world uses cruise at 20mph?? 🤔
2021 Ford Bronco II ST!
That’ll never ever happen. Ever
Jack Doyle might not be called the ST
But a bronco 2 with a 2.7 v6TT or 2.3 i4t with 270+hp and 300+lbft hell yea.
Devin Bender I think you might be thinking of a bronco raptor or something which would be badass
Jack Doyle Absolutely. What ever they want to call it. Bronco 2 raptor or ST or sport what ever.
Darkivaz - AAA why do you think that???
EVERY single Ford product (Excluding Escape) has a sport model.
Edge ST, Explorer ST, F150 Raptor. fiesta ST, Focus ST, Taurus SHO, Fusion Sport.
Once again GM does a half ass job. Time to close up shop lol
GM should win a JD power award for most bankruptcies and lay offs in the history of the car industry
The Blazer is better looking imo…but I like Hondas reliability…passport is bland and the tail end looks old not up too date..
Blazer wouldn’t last as long as the passport
Passport all day every day. It's better engineered, has a nice honest design inside and out, is more practical and user-friendly and gets the details right.
you work for edmunds? Sounds like you are reading their script. I think its funny they mentioned the Macan or Cayenne as a "real" sporty alternative to the Blazer- no mention of the extra 15k+ you would pay for one of those.
Let's see... No and oh hell No (on the blazer). Why are we doing this to ourselves? Why are we playing into the hands of the manufacturer whom now refuse to give great choices and alternatives and hamstring us in to these things. The Passport is mostly acceptable, the blazer is not.
GM makes at least 10 other Suvs. The idea that nothing they offer compares to the pilot is laughable
@@shethjones4494... Maybe the traverse (7 ppl class)...IF chevy (gm) could rebadge the buick tourx (opel insignia) as a chevy Nomad (or Malibu xl) that might be an acceptable platform to move 5 ppl and stuff and be available UNDER $40k. The big issue I have with ALL cuvs/suvs is their price or ridiculous options list.
@@K03sport the tourx already exists- why would it only be acceptable if it were a chevy? Makes no sense. PEople barely buy wagons so dont expect a chevy version anytime soon. Either way, I don't want a passport. Standard 20s, dated interior and no pano sunroof
No. Allistar already is married and with kids. Disappointment.
Blazer
At that sticker price or with a big discount/incentive?
That's a Blazer?!? Only by the label. Take it out and roll it in a swamp. Wait, don't pollute the swamp. Just take it to a crusher.
yeah the last blazer produced was a world beater- I wish they brought that one back
the passport took that bump better ??? im sorry watch again and he honda is heading off to the road to the right and has to be jerked back to save it but hey my grandmother, step mother, lunch lady and church organist love theres so i gotta get in on that and cant get out of chevy dealer not paying sticker but numbers are facts feel is opinon but hey thank god for choices
Don't get distracted by facts....
For 50k, you can get a nicely-equipped 2020 Ford Explorer Limited that far exceeds the Blazer RS in every way imaginable. Or save a few thousand and get a loaded XLT. It's a much better value with better tech and more performance.
The Blazer competes with the Edge not the Explorer, but the Edge has some advantages over this, especially the ST
Blazer - 29K to 50K+ and Made In Mexico
Passport - That POS ZF 9 Speed
Better off with a Pilot but stop at the EX-L.
The 9 speed has been praised
Instead of an honest comparison between the two vehicles we are given a nearly 30 minute overview of nearly everything they don't like about the Chevy and how they feel about how it in comparison to the Honda. The Chevy is only being measured to the Honda and not the other way round. Bias at its worst.
. . .and see which one you like better after the warranty expires. That Chevy won't hold up nearly as well as the Honda.
Chevy (and GM more broadly) _ALWAYS_ cheaps out on the trunk area (often the load floor is literally a piece of cardboard), under seat areas, seat rails, etc. You can literally _SEE_ the accountants screaming for each of the program managers to reduce another $0.03 per vehicle (yes, they actually care down to the penny) every time you open the trunk or hatch. SMDH.
Why would cargo area have soft touch or fabric lining? What sense does that make when you think about how the rear cargo area is abused?
@@shethjones4494 You're right. The cargo area should have cardboard floors and the crappiest hard plastic that gets scratched all to hell and looks like garbage after 1 month. If you really believe the material quality of this Chevy > Honda, then we're done. I _want_ to like this Chevy. I really do. But new GM is run using the same old GM garbage management priorities that ran the company into the ground in the 70s, 80s, 90s.
@@alliejr so you're saying you expect luxurious materials in the rear cargo area? Where tools, furniture, home depot supplies etc get tossed? Are you serious? Have you actually looked.in the cargo area of any SUVs? Or pickups? This.is the dumbest gripe and Honda fanatic has come up with on here
@@shethjones4494 Have owned 6 SUVs over the years, so to answer your question: Yes. I never said I expected luxury in the trunk or boot. But what I can't abide is the abject penny-pinching cheapness of every GM trunk and boot. They _can_ do better (because most other manufacturers do)... but they _DON'T_ do better because they can save $1.00 per car.
@@alliejrI'll try to restate- the rear cargo area gets abused if you actually use your SUV and most non luxury models have durable hard plastics in the back. In fact, one reason I wouldn't get a real lux SUV is because many of them have flocked cargo area walls which are going to get dirty and require deep cleaning if you actually haul stuff. This is the reason you dont find soft touch materials in a pickup bed. Every GM boot? GEt real. THe trunks of actual GM cars are lined just like other cars. Just stop. List 2 GM cars that lack lined trunk areas......
The Honda looks bland an cheap... I'll take the Blazer.
@guy proulx discounts...yo!
So you'll take the overpriced blazer that looks even cheaper than the passport? 😆 🤣
@@Indifference2000 I said what I said 🙄
@@velboone6041 😄 🤣 backwards logic. I like it!!!
I'd get the Passport out of the two, but I'd get the all-new Highlander over the both of them.
And that’s why Chevy missed the mark. You can’t market a suv as a camaro and disappoint on performance.. they will sit on the lots for that money... pass until it has a V8!
this is one of the most ridiculous comments on here. A v8?
Sheth Jones tell me... what engine is in a camaro? For 50k in the RS version... a v6 does it for you?
The chrome trim around the headlight looks extremely cheap and hideous. Never understand why the GM designers are so obsessed with the cheap shinning plastic stuff.
thats not chrome. Try again
It's funny motor trend did the same comparo and the blazer won. they just shitted all over the blazer I would take the blazer blacked out fire
Just bought a new Passport here. Never considered the Chev Blazer in any form. Why? Because Chev and GM generally build poor quality products, apart from the crappy feature set and laughable price. I consider the Passsport to be overpriced, so the Blazer is just gross.
50 k for a blazer ? Laughing till I puke ! Never, not even 29 k ... its easily worth 19 k , no more than 20 k . General motors needs to stop ripping people off or they're going to run themselves out of business. Are they at least buying the competition and checking them out ? They're not even trying to compete!!!!!!!!
Passport has no type of skid plates. Don’t know why they keep pushing the idea to take it off road. Chevy will fall apart in a few months
