2023 Chevrolet Blazer RS 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

The 2023 Blazer isn't the off-road scrambler you may remember from years ago. Today's Blazer is better suited to on-road performance with its sharp handling and well-damped ride. There's a cost, however, for its showstopping Camaro-like design: Rear headroom is severely compromised, and utility is limited given its small cargo capacity.

2023 Blazer 3LT

SoCal Rick, 06/14/2023

2023 Chevrolet Blazer RS 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

UPDATE: Well over a year (purchased June ‘23) since I bought my Chevy Blazer 3 LT V6, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Absolutely no problems, mechanical or otherwise, and it’s great to drive! Handles incredibly well with lots of power when needed. Chevy dealership gets you in and out promptly during routine servicing, and Chevy points keep oil changes low cost! My Blazer 3LT V6 is a …

2022 Chevrolet Blazer RS 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 9A)

2022 Blazer transmission went out. 7 weeks now and they say they cannot get parts. They won't take it back either. It has 13,000 miles and sits at a dealer. I say junk. Never again.

Really nice ride!

2023 Chevrolet Blazer Premier 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

2023 Blazer Premier, AWD, V6, Sterling Grey Metallic, driver’s confidence 2 and convenience packages on board. Purchased new, special order from dealer. Has less than 1000 miles so these are first impressions. Technology is superb. Still learning the ropes relative to capabilities but 360 degree camera great tool in parking lots or a tight garage. Rear and side view assist using rear … view mirror as the “screen” is a life saver on crowded interstates. Handheld connectivity is excellent based on limited use. Had opportunity during Midwest snowstorm last week to engage 4wd, very smooth actuation and disabling. Interior is step up from 2013 equinox, no doubt, but still too many hard plastic surfaces. Rear seat warmer is a nice feature as are automatic front seat and steering wheel warmers. Have 20” standard issue wheels, design is marked improvement over the 2019-2022 version, my opinion. I like the independent 60/40 rear seat fore and aft mobility, also GM did a good job designing the rear seats to fold down to form a flat surface for cargo stowage. Sound system is very nice (wife’s favorite part of the vehicle so far). Have limited interstate mileage so far, plus it’s been cold so mileage suffers a bit but it looks like it is going to average at least 25 mpg at 75mph in warmer weather. V6 LGX series engine and 9 speed is excellent matchup, extremely smooth shifting. And yes, the vehicle “gets out of its own way” very well. So far, very pleased, yeah, I think the price is high but the combination of recent inflation coupled with supply chain issues really crippled the ability to negotiate. I paid zero “market adjustment” upcharges; that would have been a deal breaker. I’ll update this as time and mileage passes. Update: 3/6/2023.Just finished a long trip. Mix of interstate and around town driving. Idled during food breaks since we ate (carefully) in the vehicle since we had our dog with us. I typically cruise 75-80 mph on interstates unless speed limit permits higher. Top speed reached shall remain classified, suffice to say it was well above max speed limit anywhere in the US. Had a fair amount of low-speed stop/go driving. Hit the trip computer reset when we left the house, checked it when we got home 3 weeks later. Results were: Miles driven: 3215.1 Average mileage: 23.1 mpg Average speed: 49.1mph. Vehicle performance was overall excellent, quiet and comfortable. Technology was very helpful, especially wide-angle rear-view camera on busy interstates through big cities. So far, very pleased with the purchase, so glad we chose the V6, More as time passes. Update, 9/7/23, 7100 mi.- Blazer is still meeting/exceeding all expectations. Very happy with the technology, especially the safety features. Limited short (<150 mi) interstate trips, hoping for more this fall; we typically average 25-26mpg at 75mph summertime temps. Will update more as things unfold. Very happy with the purchase so far! Update, 9/8/24…18000 miles, closely, no issues to report, been a slow travel season over the past year, 2 long trips planned over the next 6 months so I’ll update again afterward or as needed. Still totally happy with the purchase! So happy we went with the V6.

Great vehicle except burns oil

2023 Chevrolet Blazer 2LT 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I love the design, ride, performance, and handling. The one issue I have is the vehicle burns 1 quart of oil every 1,300 miles and the dealer tells me that is acceptable. There is no smoke coming from the exhaust or leaks, it just disappears. I have the 2LT with the 2.0 turbo.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer, so we've included reviews for other years of the Blazer since its last redesign.
