2021 Chevrolet Blazer Premier

The 2021 Blazer is Chevrolet's mid-size SUV, slotting between the Equinox and the Traverse with a sportier, more style-focused take on the family hauler. It competes with the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, and Honda Passport, all of which offer similar size and practicality. The Blazer's sharp steering and firm brakes make it one of the more engaging mid-size SUVs to drive, especially with the V6. The cabin is stylish and comfortable for long trips, though the cargo area runs smaller than some rivals. Owner reviews are largely positive, with a few noting routine maintenance costs that can run higher than expected. The Premier is the luxury-focused Blazer, adding leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and ventilated front seats that the RS and lower trims skip. Its 2.0L I4 makes 230 horsepower and drives the front wheels through a nine-speed automatic, returning 22 mpg combined. The Premier can be ordered with all-wheel drive, which adds traction in rain or snow but drops fuel economy by a couple mpg.
