General Motors reintroduced the Chevy Blazer nameplate for the 2019 model year, attaching it to an all-new midsize crossover that slots in between the compact Chevy Equinox and full-size Chevy Traverse. Now, GM Authority has learned that the refreshed 2023 Chevy Blazer will be revealed in February 2022.
According to GM Authority sources, the Chevy Blazer refresh was originally slated for the 2022 model year, but due to disruptions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the refresh was pushed back to the 2023 model year instead. The 2023 Chevy Blazer refresh will introduce updates to the exterior and interior. The powertrain is not expected to see any updates or changes.
GM Authority spotted a preview of the exterior changes in October of 2021 with spy images of a 2023 Chevy Blazer prototype caught testing.
As seen in these spy photos, the refreshed 2023 Chevy Blazer will introduce a new front fascia. Although the prototype was covered in black-and-white camouflage, the styling looks reminiscent of the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV, with thin upper lighting signatures, followed by the primary headlights just below, and a trapezoidal front grille. The same design language will also be present on the recently-announced Silverado EV.
Meanwhile, the rear of the refreshed 2023 Chevy Blazer will incorporate flush-mounted dual exhaust tips and a new taillight design. The interior will feature improved materials, a larger infotainment screen, and a new center stack design similar to the Chinese-market three-row Blazer.

As a reminder, the current, 2022 Chevy Blazer is available with two engine options, specifically 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. Both engines connect to GM’s nine-speed automatic transmission, with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive offered.

The 2023 Chevy Blazer will continue to ride on the GM C1 platform, with production taking place at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico. To note, General Motors recently announced plans to introduce an all-electric version of the vehicle, but that model will ride on the dedicated BEV3 architecture.

Legit looks fresh, front got a decent work on the hood! Can’t wait for the interior hopefully its a wide screen.
hopefully we may get a shot at that 3 row version in the states. I think it looks a bit meaner than the traverse.
We have a 3 row Blazer in the US…it is called the Traverse. Want something more luxurious? It is called the Enclave. Want something not much bigger than the Blazer with 3 rows? It is called the Acadia. Want a luxurious Acadia? It is called the XT6.
The hood is the exact same as the previous model. And the screen is a whopping 2 inches bigger. When other manufacturers update its a reason to consider the purchase, when GM does it it’s a least expensive, cost cutting bare minimal attempt. Of course we owe this to the fantastic leadership of the CEO. SMH.
Okay…we all know by now how this goes–it’ll get delayed, and delayed again, and end up being a 2026 model but they’ll reveal it now to ensure it looks dated by the time it’s actually on sale. The new front end will probably look great actually, but the crappy interior won’t be touched other than a slightly bigger screen to catch up to what competitors had in 2017.
If this plan is just to get us to the electric Blazer, and they actually put forth effort with it, then great. Let’s tread water until the EV is here. Otherwise we know how GM rolls on the refreshes…do the bare minimum minus 10%.
Woke up on the wrong side again, eh?
He spoke the truth sounds like you are upset about that.
The vented hood from the 3-Row Blazer FNR CarryAll concept needs to be an option or factory accessory for the U.S. Blazer. That hood with the Lingenfelter Supercharger Kit would make for a sweet Blazer RS.
Don’t hold your breath Mike, Mary Barra is the CEO, never happen.
I just hope the interior material gets a much needed upgrade. Need some more Soft Touch points in the Blazer….way too much Hard Plastics used currently. Also, they need a much bigger Infotainment screen.
5.3 v8 or 6.2 v8 make a ss or a Z- model untill then leave it alone
How about make it a off roader like a blazer should be. Until then leave it alone.
I’ve been hoping for that since it’s induction in 2019. Unfortunately we will never see that. This company is NOTHING like the GM of old.
