The Compact Chevrolet Equinox Crossover

May 23, 2019 by admin 4 Comments

The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox has a class-exclusive turbo-diesel engine.

As the market shifts from sedans to crossover utility vehicles, the Chevrolet Equinox remains poised to capture the lion’s share of Chevy faithful. This SUV has always been a smart alternative to such car models like the Cruze and Malibu, and is itself a five-passenger vehicle with ample engine choices.

Now in its second year, the third-generation 2019 Equinox features trim and package changes mostly. Two new “blue” metallic paint choices have rolled out, while the Premier trim gains available front pedestrian braking and adaptive cruise control.

2019 Chevrolet Equinox Overview

Chevrolet offers the 2019 Equinox in four trims: L ($24,995), LS ($27,095), LT ($28,395), and Premier ($32,295). Destination, taxes and tags are extra. Choosing the L and LS trims gives shoppers just one engine choice. On the other hand, the LT and Premier models supply access to the two other engine choices. For instance, the turbo-diesel is a $2,400 upgrade ($2,200 with the Premier), while the more powerful turbo gas model is a $2,500 upgrade ($2,800 with the Premier).

Building out an Equinox supplies access to various available packages. However, on the base trim, there aren’t any packages available. Choose the LS trim and you’ll find eight package choices, including an LS Convenience Package ($685, 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support and deep-tinted rear glass).



Move up to the LT and you’ll find 12 available packages, including three that are featured. A Confidence & Convenience Package ($1,945) adds such features as rear park assist, rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, heated side mirrors, remote start, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, universal home remote, and a programmable liftgate.

Building on the first package is a Lights and Brights Package ($3,240). This one brings in the Chevrolet Infotainment System with navigation and an 8-inch color touch-screen display, a 120-volt power outlet, additional USB ports, 19-inch designer wheels, and other exterior embellishments. The standalone Style and Go Package ($1,930) adds such exterior upgrades as 19-inch bright machine wheels.

Head to the top trim and you’ll find nine package choices, including the Style and Go Package ($1,630) and the Confidence & Convenience II Package ($2,145). The latter features a host of safety equipment, including low-speed forward automatic braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, front pedestrian braking, and an HD surround view camera system. You’ll also gain a heated steering wheel, power front seats with lumbar support, ventilated front seats, and heated rear outboard seats.

A Matter of Style

The Equinox has many of Chevrolet’s current styling features, including a gaping grille punctuated by the bow-tie insignia in the upper section. Where many small SUVs share a common layout, the Equinox offers important differentiation, especially along the profile.

That side view features a gently rising beltline, falling roofline, and a wraparound rear window. Our test model had extra rocker panel trim and distinct wheels. From the rear, you’ll find wraparound tail lamps, diffuser-like trim on some models, and dual-exhaust tips.

Standard exterior features include halogen headlights, LED daytime running lights, heated and power-adjusted side mirrors, and 17-inch painted-aluminum wheels. The list of upgrades include HID lights, LED accent lights and tail lights, fog lamps, a luggage rack, panoramic sunroof with shade, and a power liftgate. Various 18- and 19-inch wheel designs are also available.



Last year, Chevrolet rolled out a new Equinox that’s smaller than the previous models and is better aligned with its many competitors, including the Honda CR-V, Jeep Compass, and Mitsubishi Outlander. That’s important as Chevrolet now has the Blazer to slot between the Equinox and the three-row Traverse. And yet, this particular crossover offers ample room for five.

Of course, the best seats in the house are up front. Both offer ample support and bolstering and the front cabin is easy to enter and leave. You won’t find height adjusted front seats with the base trim, but it is either available or standard elsewhere. The rear bench seat offers sufficient comfort and will fit three when needed.

Standard interior features include full power accessories, a tilt-and-telescoping steering column, air conditioning, and cloth seats. Among the available upgrades include dual-zone climate control, heated seats, leather seats, and ambient lighting.

The Equinox’s storage capacity is a strong suit, with ample space behind the second row and generous room with the bench seat folded. If you need to tow, this crossover pulls up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

Safety & Technology

All models come with the OnStar Safety & Security Plan. This plan is by subscription, with the first month free. Here, you’ll find automatic crash response, emergency services, stolen vehicle assistance, roadside assistance, and turn-by-turn navigation. Chevrolet also offers Teen Driver technology, which monitors and restricts young drivers per parental inputs.

Chevrolet trails many of its competitors in standard driver-assist safety features, including the Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5, Volkswagen Tiguan, and the Nissan Rogue, to name a few. The advanced driver-assist features mentioned earlier are available on the two top trims only. You’ll pay extra for most features too, as outlined in those packages.



Where Chevrolet trails in all things advanced safety technology, its standard and available in-cabin technologies are sure to please. These include keyless entry, a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, four USB ports, and a seven-inch touch-screen display. You’ll also find built-in 4G LTE WiFi technology, which is ideal for connecting as many as seven devices.

Upgrades include satellite radio, two additional USB ports, wireless charging, and a 7-speaker Bose audio system. As pointed out previously, the select package offerings bring in such features as on-board navigation, a 120-volt power outlet, and HD Radio. In all, the standard tech features are strong. With the upgrades, the Equinox becomes an even more enticing model.

On the Road

No other compact SUV has engine choices rivaling the Equinox. Sure, the Ford Escape offers three engine choices as well, but all three are gas-powered. The Equinox offers two turbocharged gas engines and one turbo-diesel.

My test model came with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This one delivers the power of a small V6, in particular, 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Unlike the other two engine choices, this one works with a 9-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed automatic is standard elsewhere.



You’ll find ample thrust with the larger gas engine, as it offers competent step-off acceleration and passing power. No, this isn’t a performance model, but it does imbue confidence while driving. Notably, the transmission shifts between cogs with confidence. Further, the steering is spot on with admirable handling and a comfortable ride to go with it.

Most buyers will be satisfied with the standard engine. It isn’t a powerhouse, but it delivers sufficient off-the-mark acceleration and passing power when you need it. We haven’t reviewed a GM vehicle with the available turbo-diesel, but are intrigued that one is offered. On paper, it delivers near 40 mpg on the highway, which is outstanding. Only the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers better efficiency.

Auto Trends Recommends

The front-wheel-drive-only Equinox L serves mostly as a placeholder, while the LS makes all-wheel drive available for the first time. We think most customers will look at the LT as they’ll find a wide range of amenities and three engine choices. Unfortunately, the top safety features are reserved for the Premier model and even then they’re an extra cost item.

Other than the curious safety tech availability, the Equinox is a strong contender in a crowded segment. We’re intrigued by the diesel and would test drive an Equinox equipped with one. A diesel has other benefits too, including no spark plugs and a reputation for longevity. Therefore, It may prove the better investment, especially if you plan to keep your crossover for many years.

Return of the Chevrolet Blazer

April 22, 2019 by admin

Chevy adds another crossover model.


2019 Chevrolet Blazer

 

Chevy’s Blazer makes its presence known.

 


The Chevrolet Blazer first emerged in the late 1960s, a name affixed to a full-size sport utility vehicle. Even as the model was renamed the Tahoe in the 1990s, the Blazer appellation also found its way to a small SUV in the 1980s, before that model was succeeded by the TrailBlazer in 2006.

For 2019, the Chevrolet Blazer name returns, but this time it represents a midsize two-row crossover utility vehicle. Gone is the traditional truck-based body-on-frame layout. In its place is a car-based crossover. The new model competes with the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, Kia Sorento, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Hyundai Santa Fe.

2019 Chevrolet Blazer Overview

Chevrolet offers the 2019 Blazer in six trims: L ($29,995), Blazer 2.5 Cloth ($33,495), Blazer 3.6L Cloth ($34,495), Blazer 3.6L Leather ($38,695), RS ($41,795), and Premier ($43,895). Add $1,195 for the destination charge.

Packages are available, except with the base trim. You’ll find as many as seven on the two Cloth editions and eight on the Leather trims. The RS and Premier have nine packages each, although like the other trims most of the packages cover such things as floor liners, cargo hold protection, storage optimization, and roadside safety.


2019 Chevrolet Blazer


A few of the sample packages include a Convenience and Driver Confidence Package ($1,845) with the Cloth editions. This one comes with remote start, a power liftgate, heated front seats, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, and rear park assist. A Hit the Road Package ($1,050) adds roof-rack cross rails and molded assist steps.

Other package options offered further up the trim range include an Enhanced Convenience and Driver Confidence II Package ($3,575), which adds such features as a navigation system, an 8-inch color touchscreen display, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, and ventilated front seats. You’ll also find advanced safety features including adaptive cruise control with forward pedestrian braking. A Sun and Wheels Package ($2,495) adds a panoramic power sunroof and 21-inch gloss black aluminum wheels.

A Matter of Style

The all-new Blazer represents a strong departure from the truck-like SUVs of Chevrolet’s past. This crossover’s front end features elements of the Camaro with its narrow upper grille and LED accent lighting. The lower grille is closer to a Toyota product than anything else Chevrolet offers.

This crossover has a powerful stance with a high beltline and a floating roof. Big wheel arches, attractive body sculpting with available rocker panel trim, and distinctive taillights on a sculpted tailgate are other standout features. Our test model also had diffuser-like trim with a pair of exhaust outlets.

Inside, the space is quite comfortable and suitable for five adults. We’re glad Chevrolet resisted offering a third-row seat like that found in the GMC Acadia. If you need the extra space, make a move up to the Chevrolet Traverse.

“Symmetry in motion” is perhaps our best catchphrase to describe the Blazer’s cabin. The layered dashboard, simple instrument panel, and uncomplicated center stack are a welcome departure from some of the more complicated designs out there. That said, I found myself hunting more than once for the ignition switch, which Chevrolet places between the instrument panel and color display.

The climate control system is managed by turning the dials surrounding the center vents, which effectively eliminates an extra set of buttons or switches. An open area at the bottom of the stack and a big storage compartment underneath the front armrest are two additional desirable features.

Material quality ranges from average to superior, depending on the trim. You’ll find the expected amount of plastics, but you’ll also find soft-touch materials, chrome-like trim, and available leather. The look and feel is definitely mainstream, with premium elements appearing on the top trim.

Safety & Technology

Give Chevrolet credit where credit is due. The standard technology package is impressive as it includes a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth connectivity, two USB ports, an 8-inch color touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility. You’ll also find OnStart and Chevrolet connected services capability not to mention 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability.

There are a few upgrades available. These include an 8-speaker Bose audio system, HD surround vision, and wireless charging.

Among the standard safety features, you’ll find LED daytime running lights, seven airbags, Teen Driver, and a rear seat minder. Package upgrades (depending on the trim) include rear cross traffic alert, rear park assist and lane change alert with side blind zone alert appear beginning with the cloth trim. You can also package other upgrades, including adaptive cruise control, forward automatic braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, following distance indicator, and forward collision alert.

Although the safety features are admirable, that they cost extra or are not available on some trims puts Chevrolet behind the competition. Toyota models, for instance, have adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection.

On the Road

You’ll find a pair of engine choices with the 2019 Blazer. The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine generates 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque. This model is front-wheel-drive only.

We think most customers will prefer the 3.6-liter four-cylinder engine as it makes 308 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. Here, you have a choice of standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. Both engines work with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Our test model featured the V6, which supplies ample off-the-mark acceleration and passing power. Indeed, it is more powerful than the V6 powering the Toyota 4Runner, which we tested at the same time. The 4Runner is a traditional SUV designed for off-road use, while the Blazer shines best on the road, although it can tackle light-duty off-roading, such as driving on a gravel road or crossing a clean-mud-free field. They’re two very different models and otherwise aren’t comparable.


2019 Chevrolet Blazer


The Blazer handles just like a car and supplies targeted steering with a decent connection to the road. A fully independent suspension and 18-inch or larger wheels aid with its agility and comfort. The top-trim Premier and RS models come with 20-inch or optional 21-inch wheels. The RS has stiffer shocks and struts along with more responsive steering.

You’ll find two different all-wheel-drive setups with this Blazer. Most models have a disconnect feature, which quits sending power to the rear wheels. However, you’ll need to manually engage the system to reactivate. The RS and Premier models have a dual-clutch system, which shifts torque between the rear wheels. Further, it comes with sport, off-road and tow/haul modes.

Towing is one of this model’s strong suits, particularly with the V6 engine. The standard engine tops out at 1,500 pounds, the V6 comes in at 4,500 pounds. The latter beats the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano. That said, the V6-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee pulls up to 7,200 pounds. As for Hyundai and Kia, the Blazer beats the first and nearly matches the 5,000-pound maximum capacity of the Sorento.

Auto Trends Recommends

We didn’t test a four-cylinder-equipped Blazer, but we think the V6 is the most suitable choice here. In fact, the V6 is the only choice if you need all-wheel drive. Further, towing simply gets better with V6 as it offers a three-fold improvement over the standard model.

If you start your search with the Blazer 3.6 Cloth, your cost is $34,495. Add $2,700 for all-wheel drive. Choose the $1,845 Convenience and Driver Confidence Package, and your final cost is $39,040. Opting for leather is a $4,000 upgrade, but it includes the advanced driver-assist safety features are also bundled within.

All in all, the Chevy Blazer serves as a welcome transition from the compact Equinox to the three-row Traverse. It is closer in size to the former and priced similarly to the latter. With careful negotiation on your part, driving away in a well-equipped model for about $40,000 is possible.

The Chevy Blazer is Back, But in Name Only?

June 27, 2018 by admin 2 Comments

When you think of the Chevy Blazer name, an image of a burly full-size SUV may come to mind. That representation would be correct, especially if you had in mind the first model sporting the Blazer inscription.

Indeed, when the Chevrolet K5 Blazer rolled out in 1969, it immediately made a name for itself as a traditional body-on-frame utility vehicle with standard rear-wheel drive and available four-wheel drive. Like all models of that period, the Blazer was derived from a full-size truck platform, in this case, the same GM architecture supporting Chevrolet and GMC trucks.

2019 Chevrolet Blazer

Fast forward to today and Chevrolet has plans to bring the Blazer name back for the 2019 model year. The new model has aggressive looks, but it is now a crossover based on the same platform underpinning the Cadillac XT5 and GMC Acadia. While the original had strong off-road chops, the new model is chiefly for on-road service with its standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive.

Thus, you may be able to safely head down a clearly marked path with the new Blazer, but you won’t follow that Jeep as it works its way through a slough or fords a shallow creek. Instead, the all-new Blazer is all about giving Chevrolet and its fans something it really needed: a competitor to the midsize, two-row Ford Edge.

Chevrolet introduced the 2019 Blazer this month, offering photos and details we’ll examine here. The new model will arrive at Chevrolet dealers in early 2019 and slot between the Equinox and the three-row midsize Traverse. Other competitors in this segment include the Jeep Cherokee, Hyundai Santa Fe, Nissan Murano and the Kia Sorento.

1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer
This 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne is one example of the earliest Blazer model.

A Matter of Design

As the photos reveal, Chevrolet strived to make the Blazer aggressive without carrying that look too far. The front fascia features a gaping grille, offset by slender lights and pronounced cut-outs housing the available fog lamps. The hood turns downward into the grille, giving this model a powerful appearance.

Front to back, the new model projects strength, imbuing it with an attitude that underscores its aggressiveness. Take note of the high beltline, which abruptly pulls up at the rear door handles. It is a look Volvo rolled out with the 2019 XC40. From the rear is an available liftgate spoiler with dual-element tail lamps.

Moving inside, the emphasis is on accommodating five passengers with ease. That’s something the Ford Edge does and we expect the Blazer will manage. Chevrolet describes the cockpit as driver-centric, making note of the various color and trim choices. Further, the Blazer’s cabin features a padded knee area, round air vents and grab handles on each door. Behind the front bucket seats is a sliding rear seat.

Importantly, the Chevrolet Blazer offers up to 64.2 cubic feet of storage space with the rear seat folded flat. This compares to 73.4 cubic feet in the Edge and 67 cubic feet in the Murano. The two top trim models also come with a unique cargo management system.

Under the Hood

If you’re looking for something different under the hood, you won’t find it. At least not yet. GM does have a turbo-diesel offered in select models such as the Chevrolet Equinox and Colorado, but it won’t find its way into the 2019 Blazer.

Instead, the automaker’s trusty and the ubiquitous 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine comes standard, delivering 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque. If that isn’t enough power, the popular 3.6-liter V6 is another choice. This one makes 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet pairs both engines with its new nine-speed automatic transmission. The available all-wheel-drive system offers an optional twin-clutch engagement on the two top trim models.

Chevrolet says that the Blazer will pull up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped. That beats the Edge (3,500 pounds) and is well ahead of the Murano. On the other hand, it trails the Kia and Hyundai as the pair top out at 5,000 pounds.

Chevy Blazer Miscellany

So, what are the other finer points about the all-new Blazer?

Well, let’s look closer at towing. Not only can this new model pull your camper or skiff, but it will offer available hitch view and hitch guidance to aid you as you make a connection without a second person present.

You’ll also find a Chevrolet-first electronic locking glove box with valet mode, available automatic heated steering wheel and heated and ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, wireless charging, and up to six USB ports. Chevrolet’s latest infotainment system with an 8-inch color touch screen comes standard. You’ll also find Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility and 4G LTE Wi-Fi.

Your New Chevy Blazer

Chevrolet’s new Blazer isn’t anything like that first model or any other that once sported the name. The original Blazer was popular, with more than 8 million units sold. That said, we think the new one will find its own place in the market and enable Chevrolet to compete effectively against all comers.
