General Motors has just released the first official images of the all-new three-row Chevrolet Blazer’s interior design. Developed primarily for the Chinese market, this new variant of the Blazer, first presented last November during the 2019 Chevrolet Gala Night, will officially launch in China during the first half of the 2020 calendar year.
As with the exterior, most of the interior of the 2020 three-row Chevrolet Blazer is identical to the one found in the regular five-seat model developed in North America. As such, the midsize-plus utility’s dashboard is inspired by the design introduced on the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, offering a sense of sportiness and technology that differentiate it from any other SUV in the market.
While the design and location of dashboard elements are practically the same as those of the North American model, it should be noted that the Chevrolet Blazer’s floating central touchscreen for China has a rectangular frame and a diagonal size of 10 inches – as opposed to the hexagonal frame and 8-inch display that we already knew. The larger screen size also altered the layout of the surrounding buttons compared to its two-row counterpart.
Of course, the most substantial difference in the Chinese-market Chevrolet Blazer’s cabin is the inclusion of the third row of seats because it has a larger rear overhang and an extended roofline. Mounted on the intermediate variant of the GM C1 platform, this new Blazer has a 196-inch-long body and a 2+3+2 seating configuration designed to meet the needs and preferences of Chinese families.
GM claims that the extended Chevrolet Blazer has a total of 37 storage spaces and up to 1,970 liters (69.6 cubic feet) of maximum cargo volume when the second- and third-row seats are folded. Additionally, the large panoramic roof measuring more than one square meter contributes to the feeling of spaciousness in the 2020 three-row Blazer’s cabin.
The all-new Chevrolet Blazer with three rows of seats will position itself as the brand’s flagship SUV in China, above the Tracker, Trailblazer and Equinox. Although there currently are no indications that the vehicle will be offered in other countries, it is an ideal midsize-plus SUV for markets where the Chevrolet Traverse is not sold because it is too large. For that reason, we do not expect to see a seven-passenger Blazer in the U.S. market anytime soon.

The addition of a third row of seats hasn’t hurt the overall good looks of the Chevrolet Blazer; but what will be interesting is whether the 3-row Blazer steals any business from Cadillac’s XT6 given that the price of the Blazer with 3rd row seating shouldn’t cost too much more and currently has a price of about $27K or about half of XT6’s $62K base price.
Overall good looks? It still looks like a crossover.
Are they getting rid of the chrome thing on the front end?
Very sad that the classic 69-72 reissue didnt happen.
IMO, this style looks very similar to other modern SUVs out there (Mazda, Lexus, etc.) Bring the beast back!
$27k is a basic 5 seat blazer in the USA. $33k for LT model and up to $48 k for the Premier model. Chevy have list their marbles with prices.
At least offer it as an option in the US!
I still want a sporty Blazer SS option with optional V8 & better handling too. Also no excuse why wireless CarPlay is not on the Blazers!
SS option would be a great idea, as long as price is for the working middle class.
They should offer this in North America. There are a lot of people who need 6 or 7 seats. Don’t leave that market serviced by only mjjivans or full sized SUVs. I mean a real 3rd row, not that pretend 3rd row that only hits toddlers and chiuawas that is an option in some crossovers.
Will it come to Brazil, I have the Trailblazer, if this model comes for sure I will buy, let’s wait
i do own a 2006 trailblazer LT and i love it. but if the new one is “NOT” RWD, i don’t want it. my family own a Traverse and Acadia and both are FWD, but i could never get used to them. RWD all the way 🙂
So China gets it first? Do you safety test on Uighurs? I hope the WHO & CDC executives in Wuhan all get free ones.
Please offer this in the US
for the chinese market? why not the middle east too? oh will, i guess i’ll stick to my 2006 3 rows blazer 🙂
