The 2022 Chevy Blazer arrives as the fourth model year of the Bow Tie brand’s crossover, arriving with only a few changes and updates over the preceding 2021 model year. Now, interested fans and customers can do a little a little digital window shopping via the official 2022 Chevy Blazer online configurator.
The 2022 Chevy Blazer is offered in four trim levels, including 2LT, 3LT, RS, and Premier. The new trim level structure deletes the base-level L trim and second-tier 1LT offered prior. With the deletion of the L and 1LT, the 2022 Chevy Blazer no longer offers the naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder LCV gasoline engine, rated at 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque, making it the least-powerful engine option offered for the 2021 Chevy Blazer.
As a result of these trim level and engine lineup changes, the 2022 Chevy Blazer is offered with only two engine options, namely the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder LSY gasoline engine, rated at 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, rated at 308 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard across the range, with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive available.
Notably, 2022 Chevy Blazer models equipped with the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder LSY gasoline engine now have the option for greater towing capacity when paired with the V92 trailering package, which is now available with the LSY engine with the introduction of the 2022 model year. The package ups towing capacity from 1,500 pounds to 3,500 pounds.
What’s more, the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX is now slightly less fuel efficient than before, rated at 19 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined, a decrease of 1 mpg in the city compared to the 2021 model year.
Other updates include deletion of the cargo roof rail system, the addition of a new two-tone black roof, deletion of two exterior paint options, and the addition of standard Chevy safety assist.

I see the bean counters have removed the paint from all of the lower body trim on Premier models. So, now it looks as cheap as an LT, but still with a much higher price.
They didn’t stop there. The now base 2LT trim level loses it’s leather wheel and shifter and can only be had with the 2.0 liter turbo so the previously optional 3.6 is no longer offered until you climb further up the price ladder. They also cheapened the look of the Premier’s wheels. The base price went from 28,800 to 34595 and they couldn’t even be bothered to put the leather wheel and shifter in with the convenience package upgrade. Those profit margins will be rolling in thick and heavy if they can keep selling these.
Same as my ’21 Equinox Premier. I bought the car with a phone call. “Shocked” when I took delivery. But it still says PREMIER on the back. Yay.
Gm along with other long time brands are about to learn just because them build them . Dose not mean the public has to buy them. By cutting all the color options on exterior paint and interior colors you are good at cost numbers for the manufacture.
Come on guys who in their right mind would want a black interior in the Southwest with 100 to 110 temperatures . Have you heard of Global Warming.
You need to make money off peoples wants. Bill wants Fire Red paint on his Yukon and a Cashmere leather interior. So offer it to Bill and make him pay extra for it like all options.
Haha made in Mexico
USED TO BE MADE IN CANADA . TILL THEY MOVED IT GMC GENERAL MEXICAN CRAP .
You can keep your foreign made products mary Barra.
I will never buy them.
GM retired
All part of the collective bargaining agreements GM signed with UNIFOR & the UAW.
UAW members get to keep their Cadillac health care plans.
The imports get to laugh in the face of UNIFOR, the UAW and the Detroit Automakers. With their non-unionized worker.
GM builds some vehicles overseas to remain competitive.
And the ones overseas have been some of the best quality GM products I’ve ever owned.
My Envision was made in ChInA (gasp) and I’d buy another product from there in a heart beat. Zero issues. 10,000 miles in. My US made cars (Grand Prix, G6, Equinox*) had already been in the shop for weeks by 10,000 miles, and the G6 was lemon lawed.
Night and day difference in quality. Hate to say it, but maybe the work ethic of the standard auto worker needs some work. Or more automation. I pay for quality, not someone’s retirement, and I expect to have that quality, especially for $44,000.
You ain’t gonna get quality from China. I wouldn’t feed my dog dogfood from China
My service history disagrees.
My lawn mower has 10,000 miles
That’s great! You must have a big yard!
Shut your mouth!!!
Yep they kiss uaw ass while salary workers get the shaft. Got to be desperate to work there especially if you are white male. Barra takes care of her girl friends. GM still sponsors women’s golf in China but not PGA Tour.
A STUPENDOUS AND SICKENINGLY GARGANTUAN PRICE INCREASE ON THE 2022 CHEVY BLAZER. THE 3.6 LITRE V6 IS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL THE 3LT TRIM WHICH IS PRICED AT A NOSE-BLEEDING $39,295. AN EXCESSIVE AND UNJUSTIFIABLE PRICE INCREASE ON THE 2022 BLAZER!
Wait for a Bronco
