Chevrolet Blazer (2018): the first SUV "muscle car", to the taste of Camaro
The Chevrolet Blazer makes an unexpected comeback, with an unprecedented positioning between SUV and "muscle car". Do we have a chance to see him arrive in France?
Chevrolet Blazer RS
Chevrolet Blazer (2018) - In the collective imagination, this name is identified with the good big 4 × 4 carrying the Sheriffs of deep America, relayed by innumerable TV series. Missing from the catalogue since 2011, the Chevrolet Blazer makes an unexpected comeback, in the form of a sports SUV.
A profound change in positioning
With its compact size, and its raked look, the new Chevrolet Blazer is betting to inject into its genes a dose of "muscle car", singing the bow recently inaugurated by the Chevrolet Camaro 2018. It was thought to have seen everything, in terms of SUV, but it must be admitted that no manufacturer had, so far, attempted such a mix of genres. If the whole enjoys a beautiful dynamism, the stern disappoints by its more consensual design, limit Japanese.
Modest rivalry ambitions
It is on board that the new Chevrolet Blazer priorities its "muscle car" heritage, with a very horizontal cockpit and central vents placed very low, to amplify this wink. But the positioning of this SUV clearly targets the owners of Ford Edge, Nissan Murano and Jeep Grand Cherokee, across the Atlantic, capitalizing on its soul supplement. But do not expect to see a cowboy driving. Especially if he voted for Donald Trump.
193 and 305 hp in the program
Especially since the engines are rather wise, for a model marketed in the country of Uncle Sam. In addition to an RS version delivering 305 hp, via a V6 of 3.6 l, the common mortal will have no other choice to opt for a 4-cylinder 2.5 l of 193 hp.
Power levels largely sufficient in our latitudes, where the new Chevrolet Blazer will unfortunately not marketed. However, we rely on French importers to cross the Atlantic.
