2020 Chevrolet Blazer RS

The 2020 Blazer is a mid-size SUV that slots between the Equinox and Traverse, offering a sportier take on the family hauler. It competes with the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, and Honda Passport, all vying for buyers who want style over utility. The Blazer drives with a nimble, car-like feel that makes it more engaging than most in its class, though the ride can be firm. Inside, the cabin is stylish and comfortable for long trips, but the cargo area is smaller than some rivals offer. The RS trim brings the 3.6L V6, 20-inch wheels, and a sportier look with blacked-out exterior trim and red-accented leather seats over the lower trims. Its 3.6L V6 makes 308 horsepower and pairs with the nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which gives it a strong, responsive feel off the line and at highway speeds, though it returns 21 mpg combined. The RS has its own steering calibration and damper tuning, so it turns in more eagerly than the Premier, but the ride is noticeably firmer over broken pavement.
