“I HATE the auto stop feature. It is annoying, and absolutely useless. I drive this vehicle in L at top gear so the vehicle doesn't shut off. There is ZERO fuel savings. I also dislike the emergency braking feature. It almost caused me several accidents. It should be able to be disabled.”
2019 Chevrolet Blazer: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2019 is the return of the Chevrolet Blazer as an all-new five-seat midsize crossover. It is a road-focused model rather than a revival of the older truck-based SUV formula.
About the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer
Current crossover-era Blazer, first generation, first model year (2019-2022 before the 2023 refresh).
Chevrolet positions the Blazer as an SUV with attitude that puts style first without giving up everyday usefulness. It is a two-row midsize crossover for shoppers who want something more dramatic than a typical family SUV, with seating for five, useful cargo space, and easy-to-use tech. Within Chevrolet’s SUV lineup, it is the sharper-looking, more street-focused choice between the smaller Equinox and larger Traverse.
Chevrolet positioned the 2019 Blazer as a road-focused, five-seat crossover with distinct personalities across its six-trim lineup. The 2LT pairs V6 power with a straightforward cabin, the RS emphasizes darker sport-themed styling, and Premier focuses on comfort with perforated leather, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a hands-free liftgate.

2019 Chevrolet Blazer
(113 reviews)
“The vehicle shakes upon accelerating like the transmission might be bad, but after that, it drives fine. The infotainment system freezes often. The other day, a sound came out of the speakers, and I had to unplug the battery for it to stop and to reset the infotainment system.”
“My vehicle is a Chevrolet Blazer 2019, and so far it's a cool truck to drive and very flashy. Should have got the RS edition.”
