Are you not very familiar with the history of the Chevy Blazer? Are you wondering why Chevy is reviving the SUV nameplate? Allow us to explain!
Why is Chevy Bringing Back the Blazer?
A new Chevy Blazer hasn’t been made since 2005, so why is Chevy all the sudden bringing it back now? Well, for years Chevy has been hearing from loyal drivers how much they miss the Blazer, as it was one of the iconic models that helped Chevrolet get to where it is today! And, if there’s anything Chevy knows, it’s to listen to its customers!
The Blazer was discontinued in 2005, but a lot has happened in the automotive industry since then! The SUV is more popular than ever before and there’s always room in Chevy’s SUV lineup for another!
The 2019 Chevy Blazer will slot in between the Chevy Equinox and Chevy Traverse, offering a little more room than the compact Equinox, but should be a slightly more efficient SUV than the Traverse. Chevy believes it’ll provide the perfect compromise for many drivers!
