Both EXCELLENT cars! I've driven them both from dealer stock a half dozen times each and still can't decide! Tho for that sweet crossover styling alone I'm probably going with the Chevy. So good looking!
Love the aggressive styling
Chevy did A good job 👍
We just ordered this. Goes into production this week.
With the Bronco nameplate returning in addition to other SUVs on the market, GM created a missed opportunity “watering down” the Blazer (and Trailblazer, too) ... and it’s been hard to watch, tbh knowing they’re actually capable of better.
Ben Hardy is the best car reviewer ever hands down👐👏
They should make a ZL1 version with the 6.2L Supercharged V8 to compete with the Trackhawk and Durango Hellcat.
Or even just an SS with the LT1, just as something fast.
GREAT REVIEW. AWESOME
Ben, how does this drive compared to Aspec RDX. I own RDX Aspec and was just curious, I mean Blazer looks cool with those wheels but i would not buy one I'm a Japanese car fan only. Let me know thanks
It’s definitely an attractive car.
There's so many high-end performance SUVs now. GM needs to throw the corvette engine into the blazer and make an SS. The thing looks like a poor Man's Lamborghini Urus
It is a Camero RS CUV, and Chevy as beaten the rich boys at Long Beach, I heard the bigger motor would not go in, this is just a V6 Camero CUV, and I heard they might make a Corvette SUV or put the bigger motor in some high dollar Traverse, and Lamborghini is something for the track like high-end Corvettes, the Corvette Stingray is the beat everyday driver.
Chevy is allergic to making fast 4 door vehicles. They want all of us to buy Jeep and Dodge vehicles.
Or a rick man's PLAYTOY.. LOOKS GREAT NEXT TO THE URUS.. haha
That’s a good car Ben Hardy :)
Just got an RS with the Pewter color! I love it. Do you know what the little square up on the dash is for right in front of the windshield? I thought it was a heads up display but thinking it’s just a sensor?
I have one and my son does also. He told me it flashes red on your window if your getting to close to something. (Person walks in front of you, car in front of you slams on brakes)
@@dominequebrodanex2234 Thank you, after owning it for a few months i was able to discover the same thing. It is the cross traffic alert that flashes.
Do not see this Blazer Rs as competition for the Grand Cherokee, as you can not get 4 by 4 only AWD, therefore it is competition for all the CUV with AWD. I love the v6 3.6 the sound of it is great and the techno is great and the styling is very good. It appears to have a good back seat room and storage room, with the seats down in the back good storage room, just like the old S10 Blazer but then sadly the store ends. While the RS might be the best street CUV it falls short of the Blazer name offroading, towing, and no drop-down tailgate to use as a workbench. The old Blazer was a horse offroad it could eat up mud, sand, rocks, and hill climb. The S10 Blazer was such a pioneer in the 4 by 4 world with shift on the fly 4 by 4,auto-locking hubs, a light to tell you which range of drive you were in 2 or 4 by, etc, and later the ZR2 Blazer improved with 31-inch tires and factory lift. The K5 was innovative it was the first big SUV offroader, sadly the current Blazer is just an AWD copy of all the others, but the auto glove box and the overall package are good, with no innovation in 4wd like old Blazers. Like the current Jeep Cherokee does not appear to have much back seat headroom, I think my 89 S10 Blazer has good headroom. Bottom line I think it is nice, and I love the motor, but it was time for Chevy to keep improving the Blazer 4 by 4 package and they did not, while the motor power would be nice on the road when you hit the tough this would fail, and old Blazers would keep going like a rock, give me the rock offroad over the power on road, as you can only go so fast on road.CUV is being made for markets sale with a four-door, as a mom, businessman, and average Joe want a smooth ride, and sadly Chevy is out of the smaller truck SUV market for 4 by 4, hey you guys should know Toyota is making a Four Runner still with big sell, Jeep sells 4 by 4 all the time, and Ford has a Bronco getting ready to come like a horse like Chevy use to sell. All these guys also sell AWD CUVS, it is time for Chevy to get back in the game of 4 by 4, you could make a ZR2 two and four-door off Colorado, or you could hit the ball and make a small S10 pickup and two and 4 door ZR2 Blazer off of it, the pioneer needs to return with a 4 by 4 Blazer that has a crab walk option, and you can keep selling all the CUVS as they replace the USA car, pioneer awake Chevy a 4 by 4 small SUV with innovation, ZR2 package,2 or 4 door, and crab walk as an option. And the RS and current Blazers are nice for the road type.
You need to get your hands on the new Cadillac CT5! You’re going to love it!
Utah caddy dealer still won’t let me film
@@BenHardyCars Well! That sucks! Sorry to hear that! It’s their loss!
The crap anyways.. out dated technology
I just bought a 2021 Jeep GC Trailhawk with a Hemi in green metallic. It’s so sick
Ford and Chevys only, jeep is now italian
My wife and I just bought a Blazer that looks like the one you show here. We absolutely love it! Plenty of power, the AWD does excellent in the snow, Sport mode with the V6 gives it an extra little zip off the line and we’ve already gotten tons of compliments on it.
Plenty of power... lol
N/A V6s don’t belong in 5k lb vehicle
@@TheDiameter 6k pickups have NA V6's... I'm not defending this vehicle, I hate it, but that motor is plenty for this application. Most of these cars get away with 4cyls.
@@gasolinediesel972 At least those turbo I4s make good low end torque, N/A v6s don’t. And just be they do doesn’t mean that they should... this thing needs a set of turbos or a couple more cylinders
@@TheDiameter You don't need a small SUV to have low end torque. This isn't a pickup truck.
Grand Cherokee I have a 2012 and the 4x4 is great in snow and ice
If you plan tow anything, and want 4wd, you have to go with the Grand Cherokee (or just the Cherokee, since it can tow as much as the Blazer; 4,500 lbs). Blazer only offers the towing package on the FWD version.
You can get a towing package on the awd.
Chevrolet trail blazer got a awesome color put that mind night color on the Chevrolet Silverado it be perfect color for a truck
Hey Ben can you do a review on the New GMC Yukon
I just filmed a video today, but I also have a review on one in my gmc playlist
The stitching is definitely not pink... I suppose when the sun is at its peak and shining right at it, the color would appear lighter... but this is a *RED* stitch.
I love the design but Chevy and I have a strange relationship 😂
How does it drive?
I believe that's red.
I’m not sure you provided your opinion on the Blazer vs Grand Cherokee? I purchased my second Jeep Grand Cherokee 2021 Summitt V8 5.7 Hemi, with the upgraded Leather package in December and love it! I wanted to get another one because of the upcoming body changes for 2022, of which I’m not a fan. (Looks too much like a Range Rover)
This month I was looking at the Blazers for work (I travel and wanted a road vehicle and got a Blazer as a rental and was really impressed) but ended up getting a Ram, V8 with the 5.7 Hemi as well. I’m not convinced Chevys holds up after 100k miles. Open to others feedback though?
Most chevies my family and i had have been solid. My current (just a 2009 cobalt) is at 177k km and still going, but definitely grabbing a blazer in the next year, albeit the premier trim.
ur not conviced chevy holds up after 100k but convinced a dodge will? LMAO
This honestly competes with a lexus RX. They have similar look too
Hello Ben
I have a new name for you.
-----Ben the Hardy content factory-----
Interesting thing is even with high content output, you presentations are very concise and to the points people like to hear.
Exude Quality! Keep up the good work. Soon 400k subs.
You forgot to mention the heated seats in the back
My favorite car.
New favorite phrase...other than that!!
"Standpoint"
Ha! No matter what you test, someone's gonna tell you they need to drop the Corvette motor into it.
Wait, no paddle shifters wth?
I was going to get this car but I'm sticking with my 1981 Ford Festiva
Blazer for my money. Rides better and looks amazing
I bought a 2021 Blazer LT with the black wheels and I found out the black wheels are only plastic covers, not actual black wheels. That really pissed me off because they do not divulge that stuff. and they charge a bundle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another sneaky scam!!
Would rather the grand Cherokee! It’s meaner And more bad ass! High altitude version
I would agree. Had one with the hemi and 4x4
You could get a JGC SRT used for the same price.
Its over priced at 54k "NJ"
Should have been rear wheel drive while in 2 wheel.
The front bottom cushion needed to be extended
And this only works if it's fully loaded.
51 Grand? Wow. No thanks. Another great review though.
These prices are getting ridiculous. I'm keeping my old cars lol
Looking at the JD Power Dependability Index would be all I need if I was choosing between these two! How companies like Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Rover, etc stay in business when their products are so lousy is hard to fathom. JD Power is the definitive voice, and the only consumer agency you can trust.
I actually like the Blazer. I wish I had one. But there's no comparison here. Jeep all the way. The Blazer is just a shell of its name plate.
I think it's a good change. True it's nothing like the Blazers of old, but we have the Tahoe for that.
@@potentatewags How about the big boy, Yukon Denali.
@@vaughnmiller5319 I can drool over those
It's red !!
Ventilated seats, but no adaptive cruise 🤔
It has adaptive cruise control.
Can I do a longitudinal LS swap? 😂
That would be epic
سياره جميله ورائعه وراقيه ❤
You might be color blind cause I see red
The front looks like a Lamborghini suv
The interior rs seat trim is RED.
Not pink.
Not brown.
2 car seats and 15 yr child will fit in the back?
not a fan of Chevy but this looks sexy!
Ford Bronco sport
Way too much money. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺
Crazy at this point in colour blind at this point anything else at this point what does that even mean
Blazer
Grand Cherokee because it's RWD with a real 4x4 system, when equipped.
How is it a rwd with a real 4x4 system?
@@user-bc4fs9jp2m rwd with selectable high and low 4wd
@@cvalle3443 I don’t think that’s true. Maybe you mean wranglers?
@@user-bc4fs9jp2m Pretty sure that it has a transfer case, might be wrong though. I think it's an auto transfer case, so it'll turn 4x4 on when it needs it. It's confusing.
@@user-bc4fs9jp2m It's true. The GC is RWD until you switch it to 4wd or until the computer does with the auto 4wd. It's also available as a 2wd with RWD only, unlike the Blazer, which is FWD in the 2wd models.
Grand Cherokee all day!!!!
This suv is way overpriced for what it is. Just for the looks without a V8 engine in there that’s unacceptable. For that price it should have came with a v8.
Definitely
The price point is ridiculous
Nope not pulling for this one. JEEP GC, better dash layout, no porthole rear blind spots, styling, and still maintains it's 4x4 heritage. This is coming form a real Balzer 4.3L , Jimmy 4.3L , and Tahoe 5.3L owner who now enjoys the JEEP GC immensely. Looks like GM borrowed as much as they could to try and sway people. The same JEEP chassis can handle the 3.6L up to the 6.4L!
Jules, what is your opinion between the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK vs the WL?
@@Shovelups General rule of thumb is to give the new models a year or two so the bugs can be worked out if any. I've not looked deep into the differences though. I still prefer the WK2 body style and dash over the WL but that's as far as I've looked. Have not been in a WL yet.
I would choose the grand Cherokee but not the redesigned one tho
Jeep
51 grand...wtf
The accent color on the interior is RED.....NOT orange, NOT brown. I recommend a optometrist trip for you 😑.
Neither -
Hard decision
Grand Cherokee any day of the week
Honestly I wouldn't hate as much if they had at least made it like the new Explorer and a SS model with the 6.2L. Turning the Camaro into a FWD CUV is kind of sad. lol
The blazer owner in me is very saddened by this. Why would GM make another Equinox with the ground clearance of a Honda Civic and call it a "Blazer" :(
Umm neither
Amen
Rather have the GC than this heap.
Jeep for sure
I don't want either. It's still a gm and fiat /peugeot which means high cost of ownership and no resale value.
The exterior, spot on.
The interior, absolutely fucking not.
The outside design is a hit
A product made in Mexico or a Jeep built in US
A $20k Camaro interior/dash/console on a $45k vehicle. HUGE nope from me compared to the GC.
just a car with the blazer name on it nothing near the original and the smaller one guess the soft people today makes them feel important
Grand Cherokee because this is just an Equinox with a body kit and V6. Plus the GC is bigger
We can you jey is the day tomorrow morning if so I can bring you tomorrow morning morning and Sunday night Sunday Sunday night and Sunday night Sunday Sunday meg
I don't like it... It's looks like any other SUV
looks very cheap interior for sure....
Where’s all the graffiti and homeless people? Ooooh that’s not California 😏
Blazer RS interior is way better than Grand Cherokee
I just got a 2021 Cadillac Escalade it is way better then this so ya
I would rather have rollerbladers than have a Chevy
Blazer made in Mexico. Enough said
GM junk or a Fix It Again Tony- Fiat.
Both are junk but the Blazer is super comfy!
@Ada 7474 oh yeah they are! Lol
@@beri232 dude if you can’t afford one just say so😐
@@oklol9 I bought a GV80. Keep aiming low in life bud.... you seemingly belong there.
@@beri232 I’m low in life just cuz I made a jokingly comment? Just stfu dude😂
Spoiler....they are both junk! Anyone who buys a GM or a Chrysler will be lucky to get to 100K miles!
To add to that statement, Ford doesnt do any better lmao! Ford nowadays are also junk..
@@dallasfrost1996 Ford ain't the best and definitely not the worst, but Chrysler sucks ass
@@spud2727 I can agree on that for the most part, Fiat Chrysler sure is something else when compared to the other's.
Every Chevy and GMC I've owned has gone well over 100K; owned 8 of them so far ... and I LOVE my Blazer! 28K miles in 7 months.
@@spud2727 Honestly, with either of them, American and Candian made cars seem to be pretty decent. Anything made in Mexico seems to be a dice roll.
I wanna return mine, don’t buy it. Has so many mechanical problems
Neither, I would get the Explorer ST. 400HP!
