Chevrolet Launches 2019 Blazer In Mexico
Sponsored Links
After its arrival at U.S. dealers in December 2018, Chevrolet has announced that it has launched the new 2019 Blazer in Mexico – the only country where the crossover is currently produced.
The all-new mid-size SUV reaches the Mexican market to complete Chevy’s utilities lineup. In fact, with the arrival of the 2019 Blazer, Chevrolet now offers the widest and most varied lineup of utilities in the industry, starting with the subcompact Trax to the full-size Suburban.
| Subcompact CUV | Compact CUV | Midsize CUV | Full-Size CUV | Full-Size SUV | Extended Full-Size SUV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trax | Equinox | Blazer | Traverse | Tahoe | Suburban |
“The arrival of the all-new 2019 Blazer in Mexico is a reflection of Chevrolet’s spirit of innovation,” said Francisco Garza, Vice President of Sales, Service and Marketing of General Motors de Mexico, in a statement translated from Spanish by GM Authority. “The 2019 Chevrolet Blazer anticipates the demand of our consumers by offering a medium SUV with style and versatility.”
The 2019 Blazer arrives in Mexico in a configuration different from that offered in the U.S. The first major difference is the name of the equipment levels. In Mexico, the new Blazer will be sold in three versions – Tela, Piel, and RS. For some reason, the local marketing team elected to replace the L and Premier monikers with Tela (Spanish for cloth) and Piel (Spanish for leather), respectively.
Another big difference is that the 2019 Blazer will be offered exclusively with the 3.6L V6 LGX engine in Mexico, leaving out the 2.5L I4 LCV four-cylinder that serves as the base motor in North America. The 3.6L V6 engine features an engine auto Stop-Start system that can not be disabled and is mated to the new GM 9-speed automatic transmission. The duo generates a maximum 308 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque.
The three versions of the 2019 Blazer in Mexico will exhibit their disruptive and innovative design with 20-inch wheels, which in the RS model have an exclusive design combined with black bowties. Ten exterior colors will be available.
Meanwhile, the new Blazer’s equipment stands out thanks to impressive levels of technology and connectivity. Among the most striking features are six USB ports, a wireless smartphone charger, rear camera mirror, an 8-inch touch screen running the Chevrolet infotainment system, a digital instrument panel with an 8-inch color configurable display, panoramic roof and Base audio system with eight speakers.

- Tela: $639,900 pesos ($32,900 USD)
- Piel: $693,900 pesos ($35,700 USD)
- RS: $759,900 pesos ($39,150 USD)

looks great ! hope mexicans buy them cause canadians dont want mexican vehicles since GM is leaving canada
Oh cry me river! ?
“Ted” “John” and “Joe G.” all have connected IP addresses…Go figure.
Ted, always easy to act the tough guy when. Do you know how many lives and families were affected, some ruined, by GM firing over 15,000 workers recently? Do you know how many communities were affected with less tax revenue? What about all the support services and businesses, not just parts suppliers but also mom and pop restaurants and other services that will now fold because of the job losses? What about their families? Not to mention your taxes will go up to pay workers compensation and retraining of affected workers at the government level.

Q
—————————————————————————————————
You can’t even prove the IP address. You’re bluffing, and you’re lying.
Yeah, you’re a liar.
My wife drives a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze hatch back. Made in Mexico. My neighbor drives a 2018 Impala 4 cylinder made in the USA. We live in Canada.
The profits that American made Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Kia, Hyundai etc, all go back to the mother countries, and world wide share holders.
times are a changing!
Firstly, nearly all of the imports vehicles they assemble in America or Canada are filled with parts from the far east. Just go to the NHTSA or KOGOD websites for real facts. Secondly, most of the white collar jobs associated with those foreign companies are back in their homeland. And lastly, each foreign maker you listed still imports big percentage of vehicles from their homeland to the US and Canada. You are a fool if you think if they make 1 model here that they make all here!
Real facts? How about the American made index that looks at parts content origination?
Two Alabama made Honda are in the top 3.
Your all American Silverado pickup? Not in the top 10. But the Acura MDX is.
The highest ranked GM vehicle, the Volt, is one that will soon be axed.
“Greed in the end, fails even the greedy” – Cathryn Louis
You are right, “John”, the times are a changin’…
Trump is President (don’t be a sore loser now)… American economy is booming (=Trump will win again in 2020)…No Russian Collusion to boot (it was all fake news)..China’s economy is dropping fast (GM brt the bank on China)…Globalism is dead (Thank you, Trump)….The Border Wall is being built (nothing can stop it…)…And Canada’s economy is a disaster under the idiot Mr. Dressup you claim to be your Prime Minister…
You are right, John, the times are a changin’…don’t complain now. Suck it up and get use to it.
You, john, are an uneducated fool…Let me guess a boomer who is still spouting the “Globalism is great! Let’s make everything n China” mantra?
NO, NOT ALL THE PROFITS ARE REPATRIATED! In fact, if you were somewhat educated on the matter you would know that many American companies who claim be so big-government-tax-supporting routinely withhold their profits oversees (Apple is one of the worst) to avoid paying American taxes when they bring it back. No profits and no taxes! Good thing that is changing recently with the new Trump tax laws that went into effect…
PLUS, just because some profit comes back it does not have anything to do with the many thousands of jobs lost in support service partners like your local lunch place near the factory, cleaning services, parts suppliers who set up shop near the plant to support it, etc…These provide many jobs IN THE U.S. NOT OVERSEAS! PLUS, these people and companies pay taxes to AMERICAN local and State governments, which in turn support their communities! And these people and companies also donate money to charities, buy other services to support themselves, etc. NONE OF THIS HAPPENS IF THE PLANT IS OVERSEAS!!!
PLUS research development is conducted in the U.S. that supports the plant and this in turn offers more engineering and other highly skilled internships for American college students…Positions that would NOT be offered if the plant is overseas. You think the Communist Chinese government is going to bring American engineering students into China for internships in large numbers????
People like you, John, make me thank God every day The Donald was elected….
“cause canadians dont want mexican vehicles since GM is leaving canada”
You don’t speak for 20 million consumers. The closest you speak for is as a parrot for the most recent Unifor press release.
You speak for no one else.
get over it.
Like GMA readers were predicting on here for the last few days, the RED CHEVY BLAZER article returns. So sad…
Sorry, I will not be buying a Chevy Blazer no matter how red it is. Overpriced, will depreciate fast, and yes it is Made in Mexico which is a non-starter for me after GM fired 15,000 hard-working Americans and Canadians claiming it needed to “cut costs”…More like cheap labor in Mexico. They seemed to forget the American and Canadian taxpayer bailed them out to the tune of billions of dollars several times over…
Meanwhile, Ford is having no problem reinvesting in America and will produce the new Bronco here. I will be looking at this as my next vehicle, not the RED CHEVY BLAZER…Will depreciate less too…
****REASONS NOT TO BUY A (RED) CHEVY BLAZER****
1. Obviously, the vehicle is polarizing based on the comments any article on here elicits (yes, the same red chevy blazer article on GMA every week it seems). Sorry, but I am sure a few Blazers are going to get egged and damaged while parked given how many people are mad at GM on this…
2. RESALE will suck. Let’s face it, depreciation will kill this vehicle for a lot of people…Less than stellar quality…Ford Bronco is coming out soon which looks a lot more legit than this….And it is made in America unlike this.
3. TRYING TOO HARD – Like some have pointed out, if GMA has to hard-sell the Chevy Blazer to GM fans (!) then something is not good. Almost every week we get one or two of the same red Chevy Blazer articles on here…Obviously GMA is not confident this thing can sell itself. If it were that great, shouldn’t it just sell itself? And notice how we always see the top of the line and very expensive red RS model every time? What, no confidence in the lower-end trim spec models?
4. OVERPRICED – Seriously, that red Chevy Blazer that GMA is infatuated with is CRAZY EXPENSIVE! Seriously, over $50K U.S. for a Mexican-made glorified crossover?!?!?!!? Seriously, I would rather have a genuine JL Jeep Wrangler at that price and it will hold it resale value. Even the new Ford Bronco should have more cache, and let’s face it both the Jeep and Bronco are/ will be made in the U.S. and making things in America and supporting your fellow American is kind of in vogue right now…and isn’t that a good thing?
Just my two cents…Or 1,000 pesos….
“GM is Leaving Canada”
Great to hear, GM will need to reopen 2 U.S. plants after shuting down Ingersoll & St. Catharines.
May as well call it the Blazero
Blazer is priced to high
In Mexico it’s called the MexLazer
While the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer is supposed to be sold as a sporty CUV; one still wonders whether a diesel engine could be a good fit in the new Blazer.. Chevy can install the 2.8L 4-cyl diesel found in the Colorado that generates 181 hp and 369 pound-feet of torque.
Americans can’t afford the Blazer. How are Mexicans gonna afford it?
Because GM knows what they did to American consumers they’re hoping the rest of the world can support them
Well, maybe if GM didn’t fire 15,000 or do American workers maybe the could afford one.
But it is great to see the American economy is doing so well these days even if GM is screwed up. Can’t say the sane for the failing Chinese, Mexican and Canadian economies. Canada is especially screwed with the most household debt in the world.
I don’t understand how laborers make $2.50/hr can buy a $40k vehicle…. no political statement – i really don’t know how. $700/mth payment for 60 months ?
How in the US can $20-25 an hr workers afford a $85k Escalade, $90k CT6 v8 or $100k CTS V or worse a $15 per hr laborer afford the $900k home he’s working on?.
Not everything is supposed to be affordable, the Mexicans have the Sonic, Spark and other affordable cars they can get new or buy used.
GM has turned its back on America. Looks at us like a check. GM sells more Fords with its modern late 21st century arrogance. GM will die back. It will die back I hate to see it. I love a 78 Buick an 85 Olds any good old Cadillac or C/K. Proud bodyman. Would restore anyone of them. But these 9 year old frame rail perforated crew cabs .. these intake manifold gasket Equinox’s GM ditching its remaining heritage in Holden they deserve it fuck it learn a Ford dash. I don’t have a Ford still making just a few more payments on a once brand new Avalanche but this has to stop they don’t give a fuck. They’re shit overheats and rusts to death and what lasts feels like a 99 grand am gt where’s the accountability
People well buy the new blazer just as people will buy the Ford Bronco. 2 totally different markets. No I dont like that it’s made in Mexico. I dont like that Ametican and Canadians are losing their jobs and their livelihoods. As for ppl spouting off about trump presidency 1 he is probably the most corrupt president 2 no he well not win in 2020 not with his approval ratings.
The Chevy Blazer one needs to be able to shut off the start-stop.
Trump will kick your marxist to hell and back
according to Google Translate, Tela = Cloth, and Piel = Skin, which maybe refers to leather. So the model names imply the interior?
Hey GM here’s a tip for you : Suck my dick
They only get the V6, good for them. If the US fuel economy standards didn’t exist I’d venture to say this would not have that 4 cyl. engine in it here.
I really want that new Blazer,the made in Mexico part makes me sick, GM’s head management every greedy financial move make me want to vomit, the worst I have seen, they finally built a cool vehicle I want and it’s made in Mexico, the last new truck I bought in 2016 , I had a rule I made for myself, if I bought new it must be 50% made in USA, I went to Outten Chevrolet,the new Silverado 1500 Assembled in USA with only 45% USA made components, so I bought a Ram Assembled in USA , with 60% USA made components, GM could do much better , in 2018 Silverado 1500 is 46% USA made components, only one other half ton truck is less made in USA, that one is Nissan Titan at 45%, Ford F-150 65%,Toyota Tundra 65%,Ram 1500 57%, the new Trax and Spark both Assembled in Korea, it’s all be cause of the CEO wants her 15 million a year, I was raised with GM motor vehicles, I really want that That New Blazer Assembled in USA with 60% USA made components,
