Neither as sporty as it looks nor as plush as its price suggests, Chevrolet's two-row mid-size crossover does some things well but ultimately leaves us confused.
. That similarly sized crossover, which has a 277-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four, achieved 27 mpg in the same test while also getting to 60 mph more than a half-second quicker. This Blazer's naturally aspirated engine and nine-speed automatic transmission do deliver quick responses, however, as demonstrated by the 5-to-60-mph time of 6.6 seconds—usually, a rolling start exacts a time penalty, but not here.
The Blazer offers a turbo four too, but it's a somewhat weak 2.0-liter unit with 228 horsepower. It does provide a fuel-economy benefit, so that may be a worthy trade-off for some buyers; the related, for example, achieved 29 mpg in our highway fuel-economy test but is considerably more sluggish to 60 mph, at 7.6 seconds.
The Blazer RS we tested comes only with the six, and the engine's character fits the sporty image of this trim level well. It has a surprisingly aggressive exhaust note, and the engine sounds good when pushed. The RS is also now the only model that, if equipped with all-wheel drive, comes with a more advanced twin-clutch setup on the rear axle that's able to provide torque vectoring.Our biggest reservation about this model, with an as-tested price of $51,660, is the cost.
