Earlier this month, General Motors pulled the sheets on the refreshed 2023 Chevy Blazer, showing off revised front and rear fascias, as well as a new infotainment screen in the cabin. Now, we’re taking a closer look at the refreshed Blazer and the new exterior with this exclusive GM Authority video.
Hosted by GM Authority Executive Editor Alex Luft, the video was captured on the floor of the 2022 Chicago Auto show, and clocks in at a little over 5 minutes, pouring over all the details of the exterior of the refreshed 2023 Chevy Blazer.
This particular model is covered in Radiant Red Tintcoat paint, a new addition for the 2023 model year refresh. Up front, the model refresh introduces a revised front fascia, starting with revised LED daytime running lamps located in the upper corners of the front end. Below the DRLs are LED headlamps, which provide the majority of forward-facing illumination. Look closely and you’ll find a Chevy Bow Tie badge in the headlamp housing.
The grille is also new, with a revised design that does a lot to change the look of the front end, even without revisions to the inner grille “texture.”
Moving over the the profile, the wheels are new as well. This particular model is equipped with 21-inch rollers, the largest wheel size offered for the Chevy Blazer from the factory. The wheels also include a six-spoke design. The rest of the profile remains unchanged.
The rear of the 2023 Chevy Blazer introduces a new taillight design, as well as a few tweaks to the lower half of the rear fascia, specifically the exhaust tips.
Although the video doesn’t cover it, the 2023 Chevy Blazer also introduces an all-new 10-inch diagonal infotainment screen, which is included as standard across all trim levels.
Under the hood, engine options remain unchanged, offering 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. Under those body panels is the GM C1 platform, while production takes place at the GM Ramos Arizpe Plant in Mexico.

Now for the premier install the Cadillac XT four dash, XT five seats, 10 inch screen. Color matching paint on the lower valance and you just might have something.
So go buy a Cadillac.
I don’t like the polished aluminum around the the windows. Looks worse on the white in back ground. Not a fan of lower lights design on the front either.
The slit window Camero design continues with the “revised” Blazer along with the rear panel flare to make sure your visibility is severely restricted. Along with possibly the ugliest wheels I have seen on any new vehicle (yes I know that same wheel is on several new vehicles) GM can only hope that states pass laws to allow 14 & 15 year old kids to drive for increased sales.
I’ll stay with my sane looking 2018 Equinox with great visibility & gas mileage for the time being.
My mom (in her late 60s) had a 2019 Equinox and now a 2020 Blazer. She loves the Blazer and drives it just fine. I’ve driven both. Vision is far from compromised. If someone has trouble driving around in a Blazer, they have other issues.
Calling this thing a ‘crossover’ is a stretch. Come on now!
I sure don’t see much difference. It is just about the same as my wife’s 2020. Front not much change. The wheels are kind a ugly. My wife’s wheels are 21″ all black. The radiant red looks good. My wife’ Blazer is red hot red, A little brighter with a slight orange tint . Closer to the Corvette’s Torch red.
I think they cheapened up the tail lights. The 2020 have more of a outward design to them. The guy in the video said there is a bow tie in the 2023 tail light. So does the 2020.
The changes are hardly worth talking about.
The 10inch infotainment screen compared to the small 8inch screen is more than enough to upgrade. You need to contact your dealer and upgrade your wife’s 2020 blazer
More black plastic front ends. Did GM not see what happened to Camaro sales w this same cheap looking Walmart looking front end?
Glossy black plastic – Is that what it is that’s bringing down the look? – I have the same impression but couldn’t really pinpoint what I was seeing. The Blazer looks like one of those “made in China” vehicles that cost $15,000 and have the seatbelts held in with wood screws. I can’t imagine what GM is thinking with building this for 2023 … sure, for 2020 and earlier, but the word is electric.
I expected this to be BEV or PHEV …
I’ve ordered both Hummer EV and SilEVrado (not expecting either any time soon, but fingers crossed.)
While I’m not surprised by the HummEV (it’s over the top, I guess it’s meant to be) I think they’ve done OK in improving the Silverado … it was getting to be absurdly delicate, detailed, fussy and pretty …
I think it looks good under the lights. Other than the wheels which are rather clownish.
The black front plastic grill insert reminds me of a Toyota / Lexus grill. Hate it, looks like a cheap inverted funnel.
When will the 2023 Blazer RS be available for sale?
When will the 2023 Blazer RS be on sale?
Looks ok. Not a fan of the gloss plastic front nor wheel arches. Back end is so so. I well reserve judgment till I see one in person. I expected more from Chevrolet.
It’s still nothing like a true blazer. They (GM) turned it into nothing more than a “mom car”.
HEY GM do you even listen to your CUSTOMERS ?. I am guessing probably not due to the overwhelming influence of millennials working in the R and D divisions over there. The RS is riddled with electrical and performance issues with a ton of problems being identified on social media DAILY ! Glossy grill insterts and chrome window trim isn’t something anyone anywhere has been adding to the I wish my blazer had this list. You need to wake the heck up guys. The wheels haven’t changed that much either no one wants those rims. They are ugly, so stop putting ugly on this suv. The Lt trims have that silver ugly “skid plate” plastic trim. Those are horrible, everyone wants black ! It looks stupid… Stop desiging everything to look like other brands. A vehicle that doesn’t do off road doesn’t need a fake looking skid plate. I have had GM trucks for 25 years and am honestly thinking about buying other brands in the future. GM has cheaped out on this entire vehicle since 2019. They are riddled with sooo many problems, soft garbage paint the scratches in the wind, squeaky brake pads , steering box slack, bad cheapo tires, (continental tires are garbage), electronic problems of all kinds with the radio display not working or shutting off and Android auto messing up constantly, dash display blackouts, cameras all around these things failing, emergency / safety features and functions are faulty or operate when not needed, air conditioning compressors contimated not cooling ( mine is horrible been in once so far), some have duct venting issues I heard there are problems with the duct flappers / doors not operating properly my vents might be affected or the blower is just horrible ( great another day at the dealer probably for nothing). Replaced the factory wiper blades at 8000 kms… How bad is that ? Out of pocket expense on a brand new vehicle already..This is obviously a Designed in Detroit be kids, made in China parts and Assembled in Mexico piece of crap. It’s too bad GM designers didn’t actually bring back the blazer. Instead the consumer was offered this sad excuse of a ” Chevy Blazer”.. GM should be embarrassed for continuing.to push this thing out to the world.. BUILD US CHEVY PEOPLE A BLAZER we can be proud to own already !!!
Also I forgot to mention complaints about the horrible headlights, the height position is horrible It delivers less than adequate illumination due to the fact the projectors are almost ground level. Customers are adding aftearmarket lights to compensate. Also the interior trim is cheap feeling and looking for a “primium” price tag on this vehicle. I’m sure there’s so much more but maybe that’s best for another post.
The day these idiot car manufacturers move away from cheap black plastic slathered all over the place will be a moment to celebrate.
I like it! Thank GOD they didn’t make this thing a stupid so called off-road SUV, that will never be used for its intended purposes!
Kinda like the junk Bronco, that has more issues than Biden! They are all pavement pounding macho-ego SUV’s.
Now just drop the 5.3L in this thing with a slight power bump to 400HP, on regular gas, call it an SS and you will really have something GM!
