General Motors recently released a new video advertisement showing off the 2022 Chevy Blazer and 2022 Chevy Trailblazer. The ad is titled “Sibling Rivalry,” and it features the crossover nameplates in the city and the great outdoors, respectively.
The ad tells the story of two sisters, one of whom drives her 2022 Chevy Blazer RS in an urban environment. Meanwhile, the other sister takes her 2022 Chevy Trailblazer Activ out on the trails.
While the first sister visits a local coffee spot and takes a spin class, the other sister prefers camping and a bike ride. At the end of the day, the Chevy Blazer driver heads to the top of a parking structure overlooking the city, while the Chevy Trailblazer driver goes to the beach for the sunset.
“They’re siblings, but there’s no rivalry,” the voiceover narration says.
Interestingly, although GM showcases a Chevy Trailblazer Activ model, there is currently no Chevy Blazer Activ model, as GM Authority covered previously. Check out our previous coverage for an explainer as to why this is the case.
As a reminder, the 2022 Chevy Blazer is the fourth model year for the current crossover generation, offering two powertrain options, including 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 the body panels is the GM C1 platform, with production taking place at the GM Ramos Arizpe factory in Mexico.
Meanwhile, the 2022 Chevy Trailblazer is the second model year for the third-generation nameplate, offering two powertrain options, including the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine, rated at 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, and the turbocharged 1.3L I3 L3T gasoline engine, rated at 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. Production for North America takes place at the GM Bupyeong plant in South Korea.

Not my first choice for real off roading.
The irony here seems to be that the smaller Trailblazer by most accounts would be considered the “city” vehicle as it is easier to get around in tight urban settings.
Whereas the Blazer heritage would lend itself better to the off-roading.
I’m sure this isn’t lost on anyone here, but most people who are non-enthusiasts probably would have no clue.
It would be nice if you could find one to buy let alone compare it to other chevys you also can’t even buy! I’m thinking Nissan Toyota and the other Asian company’s are the only ones
Producing cars might as well just close the Chevy dealerships
Crappy commercial concerning a crappy rebranded vehicle that Chavy ought to have done better with, the styling just plain sux… looks closer to a Nissan than a Chevy
I have a 2004 Trailblazer. I love the vehicle and was looking to replace it last year. However, GM has abandoned rugged mid-sized 4X4 vehicles. The 2004 has 4X4, low range X-fer case, some underbody protection, powerful I6 engine, tow hooks, solid rear axle, body on frame, and reasonable ground clearance. I ended up buying a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk instead – it is a modern, similar, but even more capable version of what my 2004 was. I will not likely be going back to GM again – they have lost my business due to their flawed product offering.
