Last month, GM Authority brought you the very first spy shots of the upcoming 2023 Chevy Blazer refresh. While the updated crossover will feature a slightly revised interior, we have yet to see what updates are in store for the interior. Luckily, we only need to look at the Chinese-market model for a hint at what’s to come.
Chevy first introduced the Blazer in North America as a two-row, midsize unibody crossover. Shortly thereafter, GM introduced the Blazer for the Chinese market, albeit as a three-row model that’s slightly longer and has a more traditional roofline to accommodate the third row.
The Chinese-market Blazer features a larger infotainment screen, which includes the necessary modifications to the top of the center stack. More specifically, the American-market Blazer currently sports an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, while the Chinese-market Blazer features a 10-inch center touchscreen and an 8-inch LCD instrument panel.
We expect the larger screen used in the Chinese model to make its way to the upcoming 2023 Chevy Blazer refresh. We also expect the updated model to make use of higher-quality materials throughout the cabin.

Along with the anticipated interior changes, the refreshed 2023 Chevy Blazer will also feature a new front fascia, including revisions to the grille and lighting elements.

The rear end will reveal a new set of taillights (at least on some models), along with changes to the exhaust treatment, with a new through-fascia configuration.
It’s worth noting that the Blazer was originally set for a refresh for the 2022 model year, but was delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Chevy Blazer nameplate was reintroduced for the 2019 model year as a fresh midsize crossover model, slotting between the compact Chevy Equinox and full-size Chevy Traverse in Chevy’s crossover lineup. The model has performed quite well since its introduction, becoming one of the best-selling models in its segment.
Meanwhile in China, the Blazer is also becoming quite popular in China, recording an 82 percent sales growth during the third quarter of 2021. Also worth noting is that the Blazer serves as the biggest Chevy utility vehicle, since the Traverse is not offered there.
We’ll bring you further coverage of the refreshed 2023 Chevy Blazer as we get it. Until then, make sure to subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevy Blazer news, Chevy news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Sure, is funny<<< NOT,,, That China gets more product than the GOOD OLD U.S.A. again
Old Farm Boy, EXACTLY!!! What kind of American company produces a nicer and more option choices vehicle for not only a country that wants to take down America but is also responsible for over 5 million deaths worldwide. GM, a company I’ve grown up with and have purchased many products from is fast becoming a disgrace to the USA including the fact that their way further to the left of current politics. Mary Barra is a joke and needs to be replaced before it’s to late.
As I’m sure GM authority will soon announce the current manufacturers offer for the Blazer is $750 less then the previous offer of $2500. At this time of year for this model year they have previously taken over $6000 off this vehicle which is it’s real world value. Because of mismanagement of this company with regards to the microchip debacle and missing out on the sales of over 800,000 vehicles they are now trying to price gouge their vehicles in an attempt to bolster profit margin‘s at the expense of the current customers. Maybe Mary Barra should forfeit her annual pay to compensate GM’s losses instead of reaching into customers pockets.
Looking at the 2023 Ford Explorer for China has an amazing interior compared to the US. Why? Is it because we’ll buy what ever offered while the Chinese want the full electronic dash and technology. Come on Ford. The US built Ford. How about less plastic and the full dash electronics for your US customers. Now GM is building special SUVs for China with an improved interiors and increased sizes.
if GM get’s their way all product will be made in china.good luck with those clunker’s
So, I take it that you’re pro-union, right?
These changes are soooo slight that you can’t tell the difference between 2022 and 2023 model. What the point? Chinese now dictating what we drive in this country. Not a good thing for longevity.
Being anti union is like committing treason against the middle class. Unions built the middle class making it possible for the dentist and factory worker to share the same neighborhood.
Since the death of the middle class shopping mass have closed (BS about them using online commerce to that great of an extent). The last 20 years have been pure destruction!!
i am pro american.made in the U.S.A.
You know the Blazer is currently assembled in Mexico … and that there are no vehicles built in America with 100% American sourced parts, right?
Ever notice how other mainstream brands, especially the Koreans, are implementing different textures, materials, colors, and coming up with very nice interiors for their class, and they have style. But Chevy and most of GM still believes in all black plastic everywhere you look. GM needs to invest in some interior design and aesthetic talent. Like, get the same caliber of interior designers as you have Cadillac powertrain engineers.

I have been saying for years on this site how far behind GM is in the Interior Department. They should be ashamed that freaking FCA is currently embarrassing them in interiors. So ridiculous how much work GM interiors need.
GM better recognize and so it ASAP. But there last couple of cars seem good. The Slade, Lyriq, Tahoe, Denali, Silverado, and Sierra are pretty good. Especially the Slade and Lyriq.
So, maybe freaking FCA isn’t so “freaking” after all.
I think the 3.0TT is a great power plant. I’d love for them to bring an SS trim back with that engine.
I think GM needs to put to rest the HF 3.6 as soon as possible.
They need to replace it is with a single small Turbo 3.0 from Cadillac Cars. Keep the TT for Cadillac only for as long as they have ICE vehicles.
The long wheel base 3 row Blazer XL should be made/sold in America to better compete with Explorer & Telluride.
what was wrong with the 350 engine and 350 turbo transmisson.damn sight better than what they put in the junk now.
And, your grandfather lamented the passing of the 283 with a Powerglide, or the 292 six with a Load-Master compared to the “junk” 350/350 combo that was new and modern.
