Chevrolet Blazer extended the range of crossovers American brand

22 June 2018

The car shows a new style and technique already known

The name Chevrolet Blazer many seem familiar. First, it is consonant with the Chevrolet TrailBlazer: this SUV in the 2000s, was produced in the US, and then changed the regional orientation and was positioned in Asia and South America. Second, the original Chevrolet Blazer appeared in 1969 and was a three-door SUV. And now General Motors has introduced a new Blazer. According to the fashion of the time he is already crossover, not a SUV.

In the model range of Chevrolet, the novelty will be located somewhere between the Equinox and Traverse. Both models are unknown in the Russian market, although the Traverse is about to go on sale in the country. The new product is not similar to related models, but the front part is too strongly reminiscent of presented a few months ago Hyundai Santa Fe. At the same time, an aggressive face conjures up associations with the Camaro coupe.

On the technical side Chevrolet Blazer is a symbiosis of traditional technologies and best practices. For example, there is only atmospheric engines: 2.5-liter "four" (194 horsepower and 255 N·m) and V6 volume of 3.6 liters (309 horsepower and 365 N·m). But the transmission is the latest — nine-storyed "machine".

Default Chevrolet Blazer will come with front-wheel drive. This Supplement can be ordered not only a simple four-wheel drive, but advanced with two clutches, which can not only transfer traction to the rear axle, but lock the rear differential.

Sale Chevrolet Blazer in USA to begin in 2019. Most likely, the novelty will not come to Russia. Although with the intent to bring to us Chevrolet Traverse in that it is impossible to be sure.
