Inovev anticipates 200,000 annual sales of the new Chevrolet Blazer
- General Motors, which wants to strengthen its position in the fast growing US SUV segment, unveiled its new Chevrolet Blazer. This model takes the name of a very popular model that was marketed between 1969 and 2005. Ford and Jeep are also preparing SUVs to be launched under old names (Bronco and Wagoneer).
- The new Chevrolet Blazer fits into the Chevrolet lineup between the Equinox and the Traverse, and will be commercialized starting in 2019. The new model, which competes with the Ford Edge, Nissan Rogue, and Hyundai Santa Fe is based on the platform called C1XX also used on Cadillac XT5 and GMC Acadia. An extended wheelbase variant of this platform is used on the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave.
- The new Blazer will be produced at the GM plant in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, which also produces the Chevrolet Equinox and Chevrolet Cruze.
- The engines of the new Chevrolet Blazer are as follows: a 193hp 4-cylinder petrol engine and a 305hp 3.6 petrol V6, paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
- Inovev anticipates 200,000 annual sales of the new Chevrolet Blazer, although this model will not be marketed in Europe, since the Chevrolet brand has pulled from sale on the European continent.
