American non-profit consumer organization Consumer Reports has given the 2022 Chevy Blazer a “Recommended” rating, marking a considerable turnaround from last year, at which time the organization characterized the 2021 Chevy Blazer as a vehicle to avoid.
Consumer Reports gave the 2022 Chevy Blazer an overall score of 82, placing it in third in the organization’s “Midsized Sport-utility Vehicles” segment. Road Test scoring was set at 83 out of 100, while Predicted Reliability is four out of five and Predicted Owner Satisfaction is three out of five. Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking (City) are both listed as standard, while Automatic Emergency Braking (Highway) is optional. Consumer Reports also gives the Chevy Blazer a fuel mileage rating of 13 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg overall, with an estimated annual fuel cost of $1,485.
As for the highlights, Consumer Reports praises the 2022 Chevy Blazer for its powertrain and drivetrain, including acceleration, braking, and the transmission. The organization also like the Blazer’s quietness and controls.
As for criticisms, the organization said that the Chevy Blazer has poor visibility and “low dash vents.”
As a reminder, General Motors reintroduced the Chevy Blazer nameplate for the 2019 model year as an all-new midsize crossover, which makes the 2022 Chevy Blazer the fourth model year for the current fifth-generation vehicle. Engine options include the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, rated at 228 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. The naturally aspirated 2.5L I4 LCV gasoline engine is no longer available. Under the skin, the 2022 Chevy Blazer rides on the GM C1 platform. Production takes place at GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.

So it had been the Telluride. I replaced an SX, after 2yrs with an Outlander that has all the features & gets 36 mpg per mile. Very happy !
Looking at the fueleconomy.gov website, you would have to be driving downhill at all times on the highway to achieve that.
Our 2019 3.6 RS red hot with black trim feels much like our 2016 2SS (455 hp) but with better vision.
LMAO the fuel mileage they noted is so far off it isn’t funny. I live in Tampa, and we average 18.1mpg in the city. If we take a trip to Orlando, we average north of 25mpgs. The visibility is perfectly fine and we have the v.6 engine. The interior is comfortable, the cabin is quiet, and for a 2021 we haven’t had any issues. So, yeah. CR is just b.s.
The blazer still needs a bigger infotainment screen 8inch screen don’t cut it in 2022
I have 2020 blazer best car I ever owned
The sad part is that this will lead to more people relying on a GM 3.6L engine for their daily driver.
And never one of them is going to hate GM after they have to pay the bill on an engine-out timing chain replacement.
