After a 14-year-long hiatus since the last generation, the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer is definitely causing a buzz. The all-new crossover SUV was scheduled to start production in December and arrive at dealers beginning in either late December or early January. The former circumstance took place, as the Chevy’s new midsize crossover SUV went on sale in late December – managing to close the year with a few deliveries under its belt.
According to the latest GM sales report for the fourth quarter of 2018, Chevrolet Blazer sales totaled 27 units in the United States during the October – November – December timeframe. Since production of the midsize CUV started in December, we can safely conclude that all 27 units were delivered to customers in December.
The fact that consumers are already getting their hands on the two-row midsize crossover shows that GM managed to launch the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer relatively quickly and with notable swiftness – something the automaker has failed to do with previous vehicle launches, such as the last-generation, K2 Silverado and Sierra – both of which were riddled with availability issues for roughly 18 months after their launch.
About Chevrolet Blazer
The Chevrolet Blazer is a mid-size crossover utility vehicle (CUV). It is currently Chevrolet's second-biggest CUV, slotting between the compact Chevrolet Equinox and full-size Chevrolet Traverse. The current model was introduced for the 2019 model year and represents the fifth generation of the Blazer nameplate, which dates back to 1969. The model rides on the regular-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform shared most directly with the second-gen GMC Acadia and first-gen Cadillac XT5. The long-wheelbase variant of the same platform is shared with the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave, and Cadillac XT6.
The 2019 Blazer flaunts attention-grabbing exterior design, seamlessly integrated customer-focused technologies and superb functionality. Many of the exterior and interior design elements are borrowed from the sixth-generation Camaro.
The 2019 Blazer range consists of four trim levels, including the base L, three mid-tier Blazer trim levels (consisting of three LT trims), the sporty Blazer RS and the range-topping Blazer Premier trim. New technology offered on the 2019 Blazer includes capless fuel fill, HID headlights, LED daytime running lights, and a Cargo Management System.ÂÂ
Under the hood are two engine options: the base 2.5L I4 LCV and the optional 3.6L V6 LGX. Both motors are mated to the GM 9-speed automatic transmission. Pricing starts at the $29,995.
The Chevrolet Blazer is built at the GM Ramos Plant by GM Mexico.

But still no online configurator.
LOL. A couple of us were taking bets on other auto forums when the cookie-cutter Red Chevy Blazer article would be re-posted in the new year…and here it is!
Sorry, I will NOT buy the Chevy Blazer because it is made in Mexico. GM just fired 15,000 workers in the U.S. and Canada, destroying the lives of multiple times that in families and communities that support them…All to make a few extra cents making it in Mexico with “cheap labour.” F you, GM!
The Ford Bronco is coming out and they will make it in the U.S. Ford didn’t need to fire its American workers and seems to have found a way to make in the U.S. profitably. GM is on the wrong side of history and will pay dearly very soon as the American President shuts down the border to protect trade and security.
And you wonder why GM’s stock has been dropping mostly, profits dropping or non-existent on many models, and the competition eating GM for lunch in features and design. A lot of really dumb decisions on the part of Mary Barra and the GM management.
Made in Mexico after you fired so many American and Canadian workers, GM? NO WAY!
Destroying the lives? How about disrupting them or creating an inconvenience – that’s a more accurate assessment. Nobody is guaranteed a gig- thank God.
Having to move to keep your job should not be a problem for Americans
How long till we get the Red Blazer post?
Just got my Blazer yesterday, LOVE IT.
I Still think they should have named it trail blazer not blazer to me it cant live up to that name
Nope. Trailblazer should be reserved for BOF SUV which supposedly GM is working on. Blazer fits lot better to a CUV like this one.
I can’t believe people still have a problem with this blazer! It’s just a name! The new blazer is going to sell like crazy!
If customers are getting them, where are the professional reviews?
Not far behind.
Yes I would prefer the new Blazer was assembled in the US. It was designed, engineered and developed in the US, by American engineers and technicians. I am willing to bet many of the parts are sourced from the US also.
My wife likes it, so if she wants one, we will get one…when she is ready to replace her rock solid 2012 Equinox (and I get a new Dmax).
And, yes, I was laid off from GM and 2009 but continue to buy Chevy’s.
“Build Your Own” up and running. https://www.chevrolet.com/suvs/blazer-sporty-suv/build-and-price/trim
I built one like I would want in an AWD cloth and it came to over $39,000.
Take an Enclave and put some Camaro styling bits on it…The worst part is the performance…This should really have at least the option of 400hp engine to match the Camaro looks…This will most likely at least a half second slower in the 0-60 than the Ford Edge ST…
I’m sure this will be a good car but it is misnamed and should have been given a better chance by having a new and exciting name to go along with it instead of a name from the past.
By the same token, the name “Blazer”,not Trailblazer, S10 Blazer, whatever, should not have been used for a FWD crossover that can in no way live up to the images and memories that name provokes.
But alas all things come to those who wait. And I’m still waiting for the comment moderator to kick in. Good grief.
Vehicle: BAD ASS
Mexico: BAD DECISION
