Chevrolet FNR-CarryAll Concept Gives The Blazer A Third Row

Meet the Chevrolet FNR-CarryAll concept. Making its debut at the 2018 Guangzhou Motor Show as expected, it’s essentially the 2019 Blazer, but with a modified roof that allows for the inclusion of a third row.

Specifically, the model in question has a length of 5,000 mm (196 inches) on a wheelbase of 2,867 mm (112.87 inches), a width of 2,258 mm (88.9 inches) and height of 1,693 mm (66.65 inches). These dimensions support the model’s independent six-seat layout and impressive carrying capacity.

Notably, we don’t have specifications for the two-row Chevrolet Blazer that will go on sale in the next couple of months, but we assume that the wheelbase is identical, while the overall length has increased.

Chevrolet FNR-CarryAll Concept 001

Exterior

Chevrolet says that the FNR-CarryAll concept is “inspired by the legendary Camaro sports car” that “offers a reinterpretation of Chevrolet’s lean muscular styling and features the brand’s new-generation SUV design language, which contains both contemporary and expressive elements.” It’s also the third Chevy concept to receive the FNR designation.

On that note, Chevy also states that the concept “fully embodies the future development trend of Chevrolet SUVs, including their powerful capability, all-around comfort and advanced connectivity technology.”

The FNR-CarryAll is coated in a Pearl Black exterior with a bold front face and a “boomerang” D-pillar design. There’s also an air extractor integrated within the engine cover (hood).

The entire ensemble rides on 22-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Concept-level exterior elements include red Brembo brake calipers, carbon ceramic rotors and a carbon fiber roof.

Interior

The black interior has a 12-inch full-LCD dashboard, along with a 10-inch touchscreen center console and a touchscreen for second-row passengers.

The model also comes with premium amenities that include cantilever-type two-tone black leather sports seats with red suede accents, heating and air-conditioning controls for rear passengers, red backlit accent lighting, Camaro-inspired circular air vents with satin chrome and red accents, as well as illuminated sill plates on the doors and trunk opening.

The concept also features a panoramic sunroof with an integrated parametric pattern.

Naming

The FNR-CarryAll name of this concept model harkens back to Chevrolet’s first SUV in 1935 – the Suburban Carryall.

    2. With the new Ford Bronco coming out and the fact the new Chevy Blazer is unfortunately made in Mexico (Ford is making the new Bronco in the U.S.A. so Chevy has no excuses about costs), I dont hold out much hope for the new Chevy Blazer sales. Given GMA’s obsession with the new Blazer, the hard-sell just supoorts that opinion.

      Sorry, GM, you could have made it in America supporting American jobs and communities like Ford is. They dont seem to use the “cheaper to build outside the U.S,.” BS.

  2. This is A W E S O M E !!! The name should be BLAZER & TRAILBLAZER for the 3rd row version. [SELL IN USA MARKET ALSO] Hopefully it will have the Z71 Suspension package as an option, as well as skid plates, 4WD options for off roading. This would be a great Baby Bronco Buster! Chevy should also consider coming out with a Full Size 2 door Truck version of the Silverado called the K-Blazer & K-Blazer HD to directly compete with the Fullsize F150-based Ford Bronco. (Blazer Line of SUV’s & Trucks)

  3. If you’re going to have the Camaro look, you need to have Camaro like performance to go along with it. No i don’t expect it to be a nurburgring carving machine but i do expect it to be a sporty handling vehicle that can hold it’s own in corners plus be powered by a high performance engine with 10-speed auto, AWD, magnetic ride, sporty interior, etc. I don’t expect for a v8 to be under the hood but it should have more than 400hp. the 420hp 3.6L twin turbo v6 from the now defunct XTS V-Sport would be decent in here, however i would much rather a small displacement naturally aspirated V8 with the 10-speed auto.

  4. It looks nice! But why for the life of me is GM ignoring calls for a K5 Blazer? They have the frame and drivetrain, why not build a body and sell the darn thing?
    Men still buy vehicles too and most men like body on frame 4×4 utility vehicles. And if Ford thinks it will sell in today’s market (and let’s be real here, they are pretty good at the truck market) why does GM think it’s not a good idea?

    1. I agree. I really like the picture above but to me it just looks like a sporty Traverse. It’s what I’d imagine a Traverse RS/SS to be if one existed.

  5. WHERES THE SS? Wake up and smell the performance versions needed for any SUV’s the general builds!!

  6. Looks like a updated Edge Sport … meh

  7. GMC needs an Acadia replacement. I’m sure GM would love to get another model into Mexico to increase profits.

    Reply
    1. No need for a replacment as it just needs updated and it is coming.

      As for builds they make them in TN already in a plant with no room for the Blazer as they are exporting the Holden from TN now.

      Reply
      1. Some spy photos for the 2020 Acadia look to have the same style of headlights. Since they are the same platform, no reason not to move Acadia to Mexico. A LHD Holden could easily be built there also, probably ljust a few thound units a year.

  8. Development of a 3rd row variant of the Chevrolet Blazer suggests that General Motors is confident that the new Chevrolet CUV will be a winner; but if that is the situation then GM should really be willing take the jump by moving the new Chevrolet Blazer to borrow parts from the Buick Enspire concept and make the Blazer an electric vehicle which would offer breathtaking performance.

  9. Now, make an El Camino version!

  10. How many CUV/SUVs does Chevy really need?
    Wouldn’t a third row optioned Blazer just self-compete against the Traverse?
    Small:
    Trax

    Medium:
    Equinox
    Traverse
    Blazer

    Large:
    Tahoe/Suburban

    1. This new chevy blazer is going to sell like crazy! The name doesn’t matter! Get over it!

  11. Gotta say having seen it in person a few times and having sat in one, they are pretty cool. Think GM dropped the ball here coming out with a “typical” SUV instead of a retro Blazer. It looks like a Lexus copy which is already played out (yawn )…

  12. Since China loves EVs, where’s the PHEV or BEV version?

    I know this platform wasn’t developed as an EV, so it’d be a shoehorn.

    GM needs a 3 row dedicated platform EV for China and eventually (2021?) in the USA too.

    Reply
    1. The upcoming multi variable EV platform will support vehicles of this type.

  13. I just hope that GM has addressed
