The all-new, 2019 Chevrolet Blazer will offer three different exhaust outlet treatments from the factory, giving buyers a few different options when it comes to that one all-important aesthetic feature. Each of the three different designs is tied to different trim levels, however, meaning there’s no chance to step up to a nicer exhaust tip treatment without spending more on extra features and equipment.
Even at the base end of the 2019 Blazer trim hierarchy, the midsize CUV gets a dual-outlet exhaust with polished round tips poking out underneath the rear bumper, standard on the Blazer L and LT (1LT, 2LT, 3LT) trims. Moving up to the hotter-looking 2019 Blazer RS brings a dual-outlet exhaust with polished rectangular tips, again hanging beneath the bumper. At the top end, the 2019 Blazer Premier also boasts polished dual rectangular tips, but unlike on the less-expensive models, these tips are integrated into the rear bumper for a cleaner, more upscale appearance.
Needless to say, we don’t imagine that any of these different 2019 Blazer exhaust treatments will yield stronger performance. Peak power and torque output will be solely dependent upon engine choice, with a base 2.5-liter I4 Ecotec LCV engine providing up to 193 hp/188 lb-ft, and GM’s 3.6-liter V6 LGX engine – available on the RS and Premier models – furnishing as much as 305 hp/269 lb-ft.
Both engines are mated to GM’s new nine-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive will come standard, with AWD available as an option.
The all-new, 2019 Chevrolet Blazer will go on sale in the U.S. early next year, with a starting price of $29,995, including destination. For all the latest Chevrolet Blazer news, stay tuned to GMAuthority.com.

Notice how GMA is trying to hard to sell this vehicle? No confidence it can sell itself? If it is so great and great looking, why the need for overhype?
Maybe something to do with it unfortunately being made in Mexico and not in the U.S. where it would support American jobs, communities and tax base for schools, etc.?
I noticed how GMA only ever shows the most expensive sport version that most people wont buy. The lower-end trims are obviously not as nice looking and they never show them. Yes, maybe trying to hard to do GM’s marketing but agree that the Made in Mexico thing is a no-go for many.
I much prefer the real exhaust tips. I despise the fake “outlets” integrated into the fascia.
Not fake the exhaust is channeled through both.
It’s fake in the sense that it is trying to appear as if it is the tailpipe, when it is not.
If it was a surround and had a chrome exhaust tip coming through, that is fine, but they rarely do.
Three Different Exhaust Outlet Styles, but zero ways to turn off the damn start/stop.
Chevrolet could pound sand. This thing will never be in my driveway.
2020 has a start/stop turnoff button. LOVE MY BLAZER RS! Looks beautiful in my driveway.
I just hope Chevy has a Blazer package to compete against the Edge ST.
