The review team from the Truecar.com staff praised the Blazer for its “sporty handling and styling”, along with the very potent V6 engine option. New for 2024, heated front seats are now standard on all models. You also have the choice of adding a Riptide Blue Metallic paint hue, and the new Blazer comes in four trim levels. There’s the choice of the 2LT, 3LT, Premier, and RS, with the 3LT existing as the sweet spot for many. The 2LT starts things off with some awesome standard features such as 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, LED taillights, heated power-adjustable side mirrors, and remote start.
The cabin features comfortable cloth upholstery, a heated 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a heated four-way manually adjustable passenger seat, a 4.2-inch information display, and dual-zone automatic climate control. You’ll also be enjoying the cruise courtesy of satellite radio, a 6-speaker stereo system, a 10.2-inch touchscreen, streaming audio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and in-car Wi-Fi. There are other extra-cool additives such as roof rails, the 308-horsepower V6, a power liftgate, wireless device charging, remote engine start, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
The 3LT trim steps things up with blind-spot warning, leather upholstery, very comfortable heated rear seats, a six-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, an integrated turn signal mirror, rear cross-traffic alert, a garage door opener, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, roof rails, and a power liftgate. There are also available running boards, the powerful V6, a sunroof, and an amazing Bose audio system. For car buyers who want the added ideal protection of a power liftgate and blind-spot warning, the 3LT is the least expensive option equipped with these features.
The Premier is the trim where upper-end luxury begins to shine through! You’ll be rolling in style with 20-inch alloy wheels, memory settings for the side mirrors and driver’s seat, a hands-free liftgate, navigation, and a premium 8-speaker Bose system. The RS trim exists as the sportiest choice of the range, with the addition of the more powerful V6 as standard equipment. The standard engine is the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, which cranks out 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The V6 adds an excellent dose of energy, which adds a fair amount of zip to the Blazer’s handling. This is one of the most formidable and muscular engines in its category, boasting more horsepower than the competing Honda Passport.
