GM unveiled the refreshed 2023 Chevy Blazer in February, debuting the crossover’s the latest fifth model year. Now, we’re taking another look at the 2023 Chevy Blazer finished in head-turning Nitro Yellow Metallic paint with the following GM Authority Live Photo Gallery.
Captured on the floor of the 2022 North American International Auto Show, also known as the Detroit Auto Show, the bright Nitro Yellow Metallic paint (paint code GCP) certainly makes an impression, especially in conjunction with the black trim and body components. For reference, Nitro Yellow Metallic paint is an optional extra that costs $395, and is only available on the sporty RS trim level. Additionally, Nitro Yellow Metallic paint must be optioned in conjunction with a black-painted roof, which costs $550, bringing the grand total for this specific hue to $945.
The striking yellow finish complements refreshed exterior styling, with the 2023 Chevy Blazer introducing a new front bumper design, as well as new LED headlights and daytime running lights. Completing the updated front fascia is an updated grille design, while in the corners, the crossover is offered with a selection of 18-inch, 20-inch, and 21-inch wheel designs. This particular example is running the optional 21-inch High Gloss Black wheels with machined face, a $1,000 upgrade.
As for what’s under the hood, the 2023 Chevy Blazer offers two powertrain options, starting with the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine. Equipped as standard on 2LT, 3LT, and Premier trim levels, the 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine is rated at 228 horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque. The 2023 Chevy Blazer is also available with the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, which is standard for the RS trim (the model featured here) and optional for 3LT and Premier trim levels. Output from the 3.6L V6 LGX is set at 308 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque.
The GM 9-speed automatic transmission is standard across the board. Under the skin, the 2023 Chevy Blazer rides on the GM C1 platform, with production for the North American market taking place at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.

That 2023 RS according to Chevrolet isnt available they said until December.. And they are not sure it will be available then. There is a hold on the RS.
They’re on dealer lots right now. Co worker has one in their driveway.
Coworker might have a 2022. Chevrolet inventory not showing any 2023 Blazers right now. In a 2000 mile search radius there are 2755 2022s. 881 are the RS model, 65 are Nitro Yellow.
When are we going to get our 2023 Chevy blazer AWD with heated front seats ,and lift gate. We order 2022 Chevy blazer LT1 , BUT GMAC said they quit making the 22’s Chevy blazer they going to build us a 23 Chevy blazer LT2 with heated seats, lift gate and AWD. It will be 6 months as of Oct 3rd of 2022. It don’t take this long to build a car. The color will be gloss blue med. With black 18 inch mags, with the 2.0 liter eng. When are we going to get our car.
Those UGLY black wheels.
The restyled front end looks less aggressive and more like a Mitsubishi.
Why are the RS wheels not finished in the same pattern as advertised on the Chevrolet website? The perimeter is supposed to be silver as well. These look like pinwheels.
I like the new body design but those wheels are a no go for me at least make them all black!
We need our 2023 Chevy blazer, AWD, with 2.0 liter eng. It will be 6 months as of Oct. The 3rd of 2022. We need our new car know.
You do know this isn’t actually GMs website, right? You might want to call your dealer.
Another oddity is the interior color of the one pictured is Nighshift Blue, which is new for 2023. It looks great, but surely doesn’t coordinate well with the slightly greenish Nitro Yellow.
