Years ago, the nameplate on the Blazer referred to a rugged SUV with bodywork. Chevrolet got the name back, but the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer bears little resemblance to its ancestors. Instead, the new Blazer is a sleek (and modern) mid-size crossover.
In addition to easy-to-understand infotainment features, Traverse offers more passenger and cargo space than most competitors’ classes. A decent fuel economy rating and a cushioned ride on rough surfaces enhance the appeal of the Traverse.
Full-size Chevrolet Traverse is close to the Blazer to make shoppers think, but what crossover is worth the money?
