Review: 2019 Chevy Blazer RS AWD 

Internally Combusted sums it up well

lol, It will have to have 150k miles on it for that kinda price.

V8Supercar1 *250k lol

@@mybro727 Yep. Probably lol.

DisneyChannelFlow are you trying to convince me, an actual GM owner who knows better, or are you just trying to convince yourself of this bullshxt you post?

its front looks more aggresive than the camaro

This car is made for fake alpha males

@@klarenxeblood9615 hahaha facts

Klarenxe Blood nah bro it’s for alpha dads 😂

I’ve driven one. It’s no Camaro

Hipsters will flock.

I almost thought this was Norm T , lol.

@@jordancatcher6663 i.didn't think it would work. Must be some personal fetish with me.

@@normt5463 you are one sick, ignorant weirdo. LoL

GM quality at its best.

Jonnie Johnson II exactly you can get a CPO 2017 BMW X5 or Audi Q7 for that price

Terrible price point. I totally agree.

Adam Hasan In the past I would have said the Chevy was at least more reliable than an Audi or BMW and less costly to repair. This pile though, I guess I would rather be able to brag about having a German car.

Fords charging 50k for there EDGE ST. Unreal right?

bmx687 That’s insane too

and RWD

Why the fuck would they not build this on their RWD platform for the amount they are charging. Could have been epic.

Brad Lawson wouldn’t have sold.

IF they put an LS in it the Camaro would be dead instantly!!!

Patience, young one

A plug-in module can though!

An aftermarket tune can disable it.

You could probably just pull a fuse and be good

Why would you want to disable it though it saves fuel

@@Prince-fr2lr If you've ever driven a car with it you know. Its abrupt when starting, it fucks with your AC, if you have a sound system it can mess with it by draining the battery (and therefore straining/ reducing its longevity) and it can wear out various parts (the starter among other things).

Max G st edge for 10k less

Nobody pays msrp

Wonder Bread TM True. I was able to get it down to 35k abouts. But yeah Chevy way overpriced it. All of it’s competition is cheaper and better.

@@pbentsonable same model RS? Great price

20,000 sounds great

You're a legend. ❤️😎

LOL

Check out the one when he did the review on the CTSV! You will be laughing so hard.

Was that 0 to 30 in 10 seconds? I thought his foot went through the floor board.

@@lonnie0721 lol

That was a duck in the backseat 🦆

Passing gas...

Canada Geese.

WD40 mixed with bbq sauce.

You hit the nail on the head. That console cover will be broken within 5 years.

The Ram will rust out around the wheel wells before your done paying it off and the Chevy will leave you on the side of the road; take your pick.

@@ryan-xj4hr stop talking out your ass. Provide facts, not opinions.

@@ryan-xj4hr dude stfu....you are just talking out of your ass.

@@ryan-xj4hr True and true. And the Ford will leave you no choice but to put a new engine in when all you wanted was a new spark plug.

Dodge is shit

@Gorgon Phone Socialist idiot

K.C.'s RC still better than capitalistic dumbfucks.

Not to mention it's built in Mexico. I'd rather buy an American or Canadian-built RAV4

@@nameunko Nice second account.

@Gorgon Phone Nah, it's the popularity of these vehicles that's killing sedans. So they charge what they want knowing people will buy them.

Fucking same RIP

He is adult now😂

LOLLthat shit was so cringey,funny af tho

He hit puberty haha

Did you check any prices yet?

Ah, thanks, I didn’t know that. That definitely would have helped.

Come on now, it'll get the JD Power award for initial quality. LOL

That would never work lmaooohow would th

I literally dont see it

@@spengg_shell It has 4 wheels are you blind? lol...

@@labounti holy shit I never even noticed

It looks like a SUV with a Camaro front end.

Robert E Lee finally, I was looking for this comment lol . I agree bro

Underrated comment ^^

@@willadams8558 LOL

And hundreds of recalls

General George S. Patton Jr. no that’s fords

That is about what the discounting is with cash on the hood today on the Blazer. It has only been out since the beginning of the year so the discounting will only get better.

It's better than the plain look of other crossovers it's better in person too.

Camaro front end basically.

@@vincentlee9638 not necessarily a bad thing. The Camaro looks great with the aggressive front end.

@@truckercowboyed2638 Not bad at all , it would make camaro owners feel less unique though. Hope this is not a trend on all Chevy vehicles.

Fragile disposable car/ truck?

Yeah but i bet that thing will break first before this blazer does idk

Durango rt are amazing

Dodge Transmissions, that's all I'm saying

It's the trend. Mitsubishi reused the eclipse name, Chevy used the Blazer. Hopefully Ford is actually bring back the Bronco and not some street oriented garbage called a Bronco.

@@Brisco_County_Jr Eclipse-cross :D

@@FloridaPlayzYT uhh that made me puke alittle. I tried not using the whole name.

Can you though? The RS starts at 40K and nothing in the luxury segment matches it at that price point. The X3 is way down on power, same goes for the GLC. I don’t see much that competes with the Blazer in its price range when it comes to performance and features.

@@DrewLSsixnot luxury but the CX-9 might as well be. Very nice interior, cheaper, more torque, better MPG, hell the list keeps on going. This is over priced garbage. Classic Chevy.

I could buy at 2009 Lexus rx350 and it will last me longer and jeep up quality wise better than if I bought this new

I’d rather a Chevy over any bmw, Audi or Mercedes. I never liked euro SUV’s.

omar nasser um jeeps suck since they haven’t been made by amc.

Or give it the xts 3.6tt. it has 420 hp and 430 tq in that car. Rwd bias awd, I do agree with. I really hope Cadillac starts using that engine in their crossovers beings that it can be configured for fwd and rwd duty.

Man this thing shits on any blazer ever built. Technology, Driving capabilty and comfort is beyond any blazer

Old Blazers are evidently dead as I haven't seen one on the road for the last 10 years. So, I don't know exactly what you're missing. It was a piece of sh*t vehicle and looked awful. Please elaborate on what you miss or else you're just talking out of your lose as*hole.

@@mr.sphlictor9649 I guess people love their old Blazers because they're daddy used to own one and it used to make them feel safe. So, any new version will break their little melancholic hearts. I agree with you, though. This Blazer is BADASS!

@@LuisRamirez-ln3cj its all just memories of how it was at its time, they "remember" em being good, for its time, as people rememeber old car games such as the NFS underground games and say theyre better than new car games... Theyre not better, and will never be better, same with new cars, these people r just stuck with the thought that the old shitboxes was the best...

Mr. Sphlictor Luis Ramirez Ok tech, on-road driving capability, and comfort are superior to the old Blazer... but the Original Blazer Nameplate wasn’t meant to be about ANY of those things... hence why I said it is a disgrace to it’s namesake and does not pay homage to it’s heritage. The Original Blazer was a super tough truck that you could throw a ton of gear in, go off-roading to remote spots and camp, and you could modify it and make it an absolute off-roading BEAST! V8 platform, body on frame, short wheelbase, tough, simple and durable... those are the roots of the Blazer. This thing is just a dressed up, overpriced, over teched, yuppy mommy car. Looks cool, but it’s just another crossover SUV at the end of the day. If it had a nastier engine, some better 4WD technology, and better seats and shifter, with about a $10k cheaper price tag... I MIGHT’ve been impressed. It should’ve competed directly with the new Ford Bronco coming out, or with the 4Runner or Wrangler, but instead it competes with other boring and expensive crossovers. And Luis, you might want to consider being more respectful with your language to others. You wouldn’t talk like that to a stranger’s face out in public, so don’t act so tough just because you have the anonymity and safety of being behind your device screen. No need to be rude, just politely and intellectually discuss your points or where you differ with others and be respectful, no need to lip off with foul language just because you disagree with someone alright. Aloha! 🤙🏼

Same goes for Dodge with the RT badge.

Remember the 2000's and SS everything, the more things change....

@@gigatron2008 I wouldn't say so... the only thing Dodge makes with the RT badge have a V8. If anything they went back on track by not giving the RT badge to something like the caravan or journey, those have their own trim levels.

16BitOG Durango RT, Dakota RT I’m sure there’s more. At least they were v8s

What’s that matter? ST was still just a mid trim level on the Camaro anyway, the SS trim however was not only top dog for the Camaro it was commonly seen on other Chevy cars and trucks and was never even exclusive to performance vehicles. You could get I6 powered SS Malibu’s in the 60s.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee has paddle shifters with a Hemi. I have a sport mode as well. I had the shifters in my Maxima as well, but the Hemi is much faster.

@@katherineverret3143 Yes because it has the big V8 in it. The 2019 Chevy Blazer was built to compete with a smaller SUVs like the Ford Edge.

If the Blazer was built to compete with smaller SUVs (and I agree it was) it's going to get murdered by the RAV4 and CRV. It's more expensive, gets worse MPGs, and will almost certainly be less reliable with lower resale values. It's insane to me that GM made this vehicle. Why not improve the Equinox? Why not make a Blazer that competes with 4runner and has at least the potential to be modded for off-road capability for the billions of us who don't enjoy the luxury of well-maintained plowed roads all year?

@@gorkyd7912 You want off road buy a Jeep. I did call it a suv but it is more of a cross over car than suv and you can buy a Tahoe. Buy you Toyota and Honda support Japan. Where all of the parts come from. I will keep buying from the Big Three.

@@roykindrick4186 The point is it's not competitive anywhere, it's worse than existing vehicles in every segment I could try to put it in. It's not a performance SUV, it's not a luxury SUV, it's far costlier to own than existing commuter SUVs, it doesn't have the frame and suspension for heavy loads or towing, and it can't off-road. I would love to buy US-made but honestly I never buy brand-new cars anyway; I support Americans directly by buying their used cars.

Alan Sun they better not

Jason Hall but people are dumb and pay it

Uh oh, are they having issues with the trans? I haven't seen anything.

daaper the transmission they are using in this model is built in Mexico alongside certain under international models , the under pinnings of critical items are made of plastic which wear off like hell in the first 24 months , The six speed really can’t handle the turbo 4 cylinder at peak and it’s highly detuned in the v6 versions

The whole vehicle is built in Mexico. But you're right - not to mention the engine blowing up before 50,000 miles

@@3052022 there no more 6-speed transmissions from GM. The 2019 Blazer transmissions consist of the GM 9-speed automatic transmission, as follows: 2.5L LCV I-4 engine is mated to the 9T50 transmission (M3D) 3.6L LGX V-6 engine is mated to the 9T65 transmission (M3V)

@@effend446 the 9T50 used with 2.5l 4-cylinder is assembled in Mexico and has been used in a number of Buick and Chevy models. The 9T65 is assembled around the world. The engines are assembled in the U.S.

Or a Durango RT....

Have you seen the side skirts on the st. Its crappy plastic everywhere in that.

Or a Cherokee trailhawk. Haha

E Hawk enjoy wasting money

Or almost any true SUV from the early 2000s; they tow more, real 4wd, not plastic bodied, and hey you can see out the damn windows instead of these little squint holes!

Why

@@cloud_c5222 personally I think older vehicles (depending) easier to work on and simplicity, but that's for me, depending on the era as well, new vehicles look great, but too techy. Will they last 200,00 miles we'll see

Simply Vullgar agreed!! I would rather a older vehicle myself. These vehicles theses days are becoming even more difficult to work on.

@@simply.5570 Do you know that new cars comes with warranty?? From 3 to 10 years warranty . Also who owns a car with 200k miles?? 🙄

@@MarioSantana1335 I do, my truck is a 2000 Silverado 5.3 stock with 247,000 miles original engine and transmission... warranty is nice and dandy, but when it runs out it can be an issue, I know people usually sell them by then or trade in, but i rather just own my vehicle and drive it into the ground Haha per se

It will be government mandated soon

@@anthonywebber2211 I wont be buying new cars then.... or I'll just after market like they did with the F150s. I fucking HATE that shit, and it does FUCK ALL for gas efficiency.

You are the smartest person on RU-vid

For 50k i can get a fucking rubicon and off road it lmfao

Champagne: AGREE!!

Champagne good for you, not enough people care about that to make a business case though. This is the kind of vehicle that sells today, if you were making decisions for Gm based on what you want you would surely drive them to bankruptcy in short order.

50 is fully loaded. The rs starts at 40k

@@DrewLSsix "This is the kind of vehicle that sells..." No fuck no it isn't. That's why GM is losing sales numbers year after year. That's why Honda and Toyota are taking over the domestic market and already out-sell the small car categories. The existing decisions of GM are proof that you can have an absolutely massive dealer network, bailouts, and have millions of die-hard fans of your numerous brands who remember the good ole days, and still have declining market share year after year. The 2019 Blazer is just another Equinox, Trail Blazer, Trax, Traverse, Orlando, Acadia... how many times can they rebrand the same vehicle? Will it compete well against the Honda CRV or the Toyota RAV4? Nope, they're both obviously commuter AWD mid-size SUVs and the RAV4 is cheaper, gets better gas mileage, and will almost certainly be more reliable. So GM is launching another clone that is losing on every relevant metric against the market leader in its category, it will be slaughtered in the market. Whereas the Tahoe and Suburban remain extremely popular... hmm, any hint there GM what your customers want?

Chevy's don't need crazy HP numbers because they are not boats like Dodge's are

So you’re saying you wouldn’t want Chevy to make a 700+ Hp Chevy blazer for under 90k? Not saying they need to just that the brand lacks excitement other then then the Camaro and vette in my opinion.

@@inyoface690 Would I want Chevy to make a 700hp Blazer? Sure, I just don't think it would sell well. A 700hp crossover is not going to sell no matter who makes it. Crossovers are disposable vehicles that typically see motor/trans issues by 50k no matter what brand you buy, so a 700hp doesn't seem logical IMO. I could see something like a Tahoe or Suburban having a factory trim/package with an LT4 like the Hennessy versions, that I would buy in a heartbeat.

@@inyoface690 Yet look at the two brands. Sure Dodge is selling more challengers than the Camaro but that's because they don't have anything else besides the charger. While GM has the regal, Malibu, CT6 soon the CT5 and CT4. The Malibu isn't exciting sure but they have other cars that are exciting.

@@99-Zulu the sales speak for themselves and dodge is winning the market statistically

the Equinox is smaller

SpeedDemon2581 they just need to bring the trailblazer back

There is a 2 door body on frame test mule been seen on the road . If GM is smart they will make at least 1 trim lvl a Raptor fighter

Dragracin 95 I thought the same thing.. like WHY?

@@Dabologist these will drop 20k with 2 years of being used

Why spend $35k when you can buy a 1998 4Runner for $8000? Similar cargo, tows more, looks better, better visibility, actual 4wd, similar gas mileage, more reliable, better off-road clearance, lighter weight, far cheaper repairs, none of the useless touchscreen junk that will break in a few years. Hmmm, hard decision?

Gorky D latest and greatest is always a big selling point

RDX Yes>Passport NO>UGLY!

@@gregholman2930 this is why you don't RDX: acurazine.com/forums/3g-rdx-problems-fixes-458/

The RDX is a size smaller, has less power, is half a second slower 0-60, another half second slower in the quarter, worse braking, worse lateral acceleration, and worse mileage. The passport is a much better competitor but the Chevy still edges it out in performance and is obviously intended to be a drivers crossover.

Jeff S The drunk design team designs all the GM interiors

I believe it's called 'Nightfall Gray Metallic'. If not, it's just 'Graphite Metallic'.

Look up Sabbkyle04 and you'll be sure to find one pretty close to that year. Very similar to Matt's style of review, but a bit more through but I enjoy the both of them alot.

You know what else upsets the Honda? Any situation where it might actually need a working AWD system.

GM= Garbage Motors

Manny Echaluce GM builds 4 vehicles in Mexico and 17 in the US

Thanks for watching!

Lexus

Yes, like a Lexus

@@Carlos-nq7up hell, like anything that's not a Chevy. Would be hard pressed to get an equally equipped Lexus below that price though. Mazda CX-9 is a good bet.

CiTY_HuNTeR funny since the Santa Fe was a Chevy rip off back in the early to mid life of Kia.

Not crazy with where either one of them are built. When I buy Japanese vehicles like my Mazda6, a major requirement is that they be built in in Japan & same goes for my German vehicles as well, they must be built in Germany!

The Blazer RS runs rings around the Passport. It's like Passport phones in the chassis dynamics. "...The Blazer is the family vehicle that actually appeals to the whole family, and for that reason it upsets the Honda on its home court." I think the Motor Trend staff was weeping when they wrote that!

@@normt5463 0 to 60 the Passport is 6.2 vs 6.1 for the blazer with the quarter mile exactly the same. The Passport is more capable off road and has way more storage . Also love the squeaky Blazer interior super nice.

@@Boss-oy7ge look at that 1/4 mile trap speed, one second better figure-8 handlin time, better fuel economy...it is like Honda wasn't even trying with the Passport. Or they just cannot match GM chassis engineers today. Past performances is never indicative of future results, but the excellent launch of the 2018 Equinox in reliability the Blazer should be very good. Honda still cannot get CR-V issues correct for CR-V infotainment and now the 1.5t enginee band-aid that isn't working, this 9-speed in the Passport has had complaints at parking lot speeds that the same thing is happening with all, new Honda models.

@@normt5463 yup because figure eights are super important got it.

If there’s a jagged performance option some day it’ll be a TT V6 most likely, remember, it’s a fwd based chassis, a V8 isn’t likely to be a great fit.

Makes the Passpoet look like the short-bus!

@@normt5463 it kinda does look like a short bus
