Weeding out all but two-row crossovers narrows the segment to just six entries. The Blazer places third in this more narrow segment, accounting for a 15 percent segment share, down one percentage point. The Santa Fe led the pack with a 33 percent segment share, up five percentage points, followed by the Edge with a 26 percent segment share, up 12 percentage points.
As previously stated, the Grand Cherokee is now made up of a two-row as well as a three-row model, and would typically be included in the two-row segment. However, Jeep’s parent company, Stellantis, does not break out sales figures for both body style variants, so we have excluded it from this comparison.
The two-row mid-size mainstream crossover segment contracted 23 percent to 96,504 units, meaning that Chevy Blazer sales also underperformed this more focused segment average.
The GM Authority Take
It’s become the norm for vehicles to be negatively affected by ongoing supplier shortages across the industry, and Chevy Blazer sales certainly fell victim to this circumstance in Q2 2022. The Bow Tie’s midsize crossover is no stranger to constrained production at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant, resulting in low supply at the dealer level. In fact, supply of the Blazer was only at nine days across the Bow Tie’s dealer network as of the beginning of March. This is mostly the result of GM prioritizing production of more profitable vehicles such as full-size trucks and SUVs in light of the global shortage of microchips and other parts.
The long and short of the Q2 2022 Blazer sales results is this: there just aren’t enough units of the Blazer on dealer lots to satisfy true demand, resulting in the mediocre sales figures posted during the quarter. Moreover, sales will only ramp up once production – and ensuing dealer stock – allows.
Looking ahead, the 2023 Blazer will bring a midcycle refresh headlined by revised front and rear fascias, a larger center infotainment screen, plus a new interior colorway. However, Chevrolet was forced to postpone the start of 2023 Chevy Blazer production by three weeks. Initially, assembly was scheduled to begin on July 11th, but it will now begin on August 1st.
Further on the horizon will be the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV, complete with a high-performance Blazer EV SS model. We’ve spied several prototypes undergoing testing in recent months, and the vehicle will be fully revealed on July 18th.

ICE Chevy Blazer Dropped After 2025 Model Year: Exclusive
GM Cuts 3rd Production Shift At Ramos Arizpe Plant In Mexico
Comments
Ok, nice vehicle bug just another tiresome crossover like all the rest. Let’s see a sporty Malibu!
Hey. Such mediocrity doesn’t come easy. A middling result like this shouldn’t be dismissed as merely average.
Rest assured, the soon to be unveiled, and likely milquetoast EV Blazer will not even burn your house down at night while you’re sleeping.
No EV’s for me ICE’s forever!
This vehicle was a dud from the start, reuse of the Blazer name on a not very capable raised roof station wagon was the first thing, made in mexico is the second, underwhelming drivetrain, and the missed opportunity to place the last gen plug in hybrid setup from the Volt or even the small diesel 1.5 diesel from the terrain means nothing to write about in these things. The only thing that possibly propped them up at all is the loss of the Impala and other midsize cars available and brand loyalty . The latter being the reason why more and more the brand is being abandoned.
I agree, just another boring crossover wedged in between the Equinox and the Traverse, why? What 1.5 diesel are you talking about?
GM could put a 2.0 Diesel in the Blazer & have a crossover with decent towing & 40 mpg+ on the highway. But they aren’t smart enough to do that.
They could also start selling hybrids.
Yes, could go for a hybrid
I have owned my Blazer RS from order and have had no issues or problems, just compliments. Perfect sporty car for seniors.
You think the Blazer is sporty?
Ha!
Then again, you admit to being a senior, so maybe you think there is something sporty about it.
I agree Steve….we own a 20 Premier and love it….lots of compliments ….awesome SUV. However, the wheels on the RS you have shown in this writing on the 23’s suck…sorry….black gloss would have gotten my attention.
