2022 Chevrolet Blazer RS

The 2022 Blazer is Chevrolet's midsize SUV, slotting between the compact Equinox and the three-row Traverse. It competes with the Ford Edge, Honda Passport, and Nissan Murano in the two-row midsize crossover segment. The Blazer handles with more agility than most rivals, and the RS trim sharpens the steering and adds a sportier feel. The ride is firm but controlled, and the front seats stay comfortable on long trips. Cabin space is generous for four adults, though the cargo area runs smaller than some competitors. The RS swaps the base 2.5-liter four for the 3.6L V6, and adds 20-inch wheels, a dual-outlet exhaust, and a flat-bottom steering wheel. That 3.6L V6 makes 308 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic, giving the Blazer real punch off the line and passing power that the four-cylinder trims lack. The RS also gets a sport-tuned suspension that firms up the ride noticeably, so you feel the road more than in the Premier.
