“This was a basic Blazer that in my opinion was made affordable by cutting too many corners. Cheap steering wheel, small and vertically aligned infotainment system that is difficult to see (glare) and as a short person my seat is too far forward to see the controls that are placed under the infotainment screen. My Red Line Equinox was a much more solid feeling and functioning car.”
2022 Chevrolet Blazer: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Chevrolet Blazer is a simpler lineup: the L and 1LT trims and the old 2.5-liter base engine are gone, making the turbocharged 2LT the new starting point. This is otherwise a light-update year, not a redesign.
About the 2022 Chevrolet Blazer
1st generation (2019-2025 gas Blazer), fourth model year, just before the 2023 mid-cycle refresh.
The Blazer is Chevrolet’s style-first midsize two-row SUV. It is aimed at shoppers who want family-crossover usefulness but prefer a sportier look and a more driver-focused cabin than boxier rivals. Its big differentiators are the Camaro-inspired design, available V6 power, and a road feel that leans more athletic than soft and anonymous, while still keeping everyday features like decent cargo space, straightforward tech, and common front- or all-wheel-drive layouts.
The 2LT serves as the mainstream Blazer, with a turbo engine, an 8-inch touchscreen, smartphone integration, and standard active-safety features. The 3LT adds leather and comfort features, the RS pairs a sportier look with a V6, and the Premier emphasizes comfort with navigation, a heated steering wheel, and a hands-free liftgate.

Chevrolet drops the old 2.5-liter four-cylinder along with the L and 1LT trims. The 2LT becomes the starting trim, and the 2.0-liter turbo is the main standard engine; AWD models with that engine also gain a standard trailering package.
Styling
Premier gets new wheels and darker lower trim at the front and rear.
Tech
Ventilated front seats change from standard to optional on Premier.

2022 Chevrolet Blazer

“It's an awesome car. It looks great both inside and outside. Has all the latest features and technology”
“Can't browse media on USB stick while driving, ex. Using your thumb pads on steering wheel to switch folder or album on media was doable on 2019 chevy now it's disabled. Huge let down and reason I'd get a different car”
