Sorry I’m late getting this one up! Lori & I are traveling to Montreal for the Honda Civic Hybrid drive. Our first flight was delayed due to mechanical issues and we almost missed our connection! We appreciate each and every one of you!
Hi Joe, I love the new 2024 Chevy Blazer & like I said, & I am going to reiterate, I love the fake vents I think it gives it style as to a just plain & boring white corners of the bumper.
Safe travels !
@@LuisUrbietathanks for sharing your honest opinion.
@@fifasf3379thank you so much!
@@RaitisRides No Problem Joe, I'm just trying that I like vents on cars. Who wants to see a flat white bumper?
Love the Blazer. Chevy did well on this one.
I think this competes with the Pilot or the Passport, rather than the MDX.
Yeah this is no where near the quality/design of an MDX
@@taylorrobinson25 😂
Just seen a brand new Chevy Traverse in the mall parking lot a few days ago. Yes. Yes. Yes. It looks nice as hell. Head turner. GM is killing it. You know how many buyers are buying the new GMC Denali. Look in your area. You'll see Buyers buying GM and Chevy
I’m Lexus / Toyota owner , but let me tell you something that the Blazer and the Trail Blazer are absolutely great SUV’s !! I love them so much that they’re on my favorite list of best SUV’s .
“Without that stupid third row…” Preach it brother. Love it.
If you have a third row, you may fold it down to make it a 2-row SUV. But if you only have 2 rows, you can never make it a 3-row

No one uses 3 row on mid size suv anyway
@@SiriasisOFFICIAL if no one uses 3 rows on midsize SUV. Why would the car makers even bother to produce this kind of vehicle?
@@SiriasisOFFICIAL I don't know where you are, I am in the US market and more and more buyers here need a 3 row midsize SUV and makes it very popular and competitive segment here.
@@rayleung7668
People here in Canada buy mid size suv because of size, not 3 row capability
The Blazer looks cool. I love the Redline decals on it!
I’m so glad that I can share it with you
The v6 is awesome. My kids v6 equinox flies!!
The versatility and accuracy of Joe's food examples used on describing compartment sizes amaze me till this day.
I like what Chevy is doing with styling and design. I believe that N/A V6 will hold up over time. If I bought one of these I would definitely throw after market Air intake and exhaust on it. Wake that V6 up a little bit. Nice SUV but I would probably choose the CX-70 over both MDX and the Blazer. ☮️
Chevrolet is on a roll......styling is amazing. GM will sell MANY of these.....great review Joe, thank you.
I had ICE Blazer park next to my fully Loaded 9 speed 2.0 Turbo Equinox and there is no difference in size. I believe the blazer was a bit shorter in height. Shocking, for extra money, why?
IMO the Blazer should be taller than Equinox, be a mini Traverse.
I love the new Equinox Activ trim.
Blazer does have a v6 option.
The Blazer is about 5-6 inches wider than the Equinox and has the optional V6 available.
Looks good but theres no comparison when it comes to reliability compared to an acura
" ... because without that stupid third row ..." LMAO You nailed it, Joe. Not everyone wants a third row in a (larger) midsize crossover. Folding it down is not the answer as the seat takes up too much space and forces engineers to design around it. Captain's chairs are USELESS as well.
Wow, Joe I love this SUV and the color, and its a v6.😊😊😊.
I wish they'd bring back the real Blazer. A body on frame SUV based on the Colorado / Canyon. How many CUVs do we need?
Be safe out there nice traveling
I had a 77 Blazer K5,, 350ci manual, removable cap, just a primitive beast, that could really off road with Rancho shocks and Goodrich TA tires,,, this 24 “ Blazer is not that truck, a betrayal of the name Blazer,
2024 Chevrolet Blazer LT 3LT FWD Redline Edition!
Nice looking, Blazer. I'm glad they're not trying to make it into a 3 row mid-sized suv. The Blazer would look good in the Dark Ash Metallic that Chevy has.
The Blazers are amazing vehicles. I always tell my husband that his Blazer is the perfect sized car. It is very spacious without being overly large and inconvenient.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership input!
My wife cross shopped this and the Acura, she ended up with this and loves it.
The infotainment system in Acura is terrible, and we didn't find the seats as nice as the blazer.
Wait until you hot 90,000 miles your gonna wish you went with the acura
@@gordoakley3447No they won’t. More Japanese propaganda bs.
I kind of like this Blazer except its pricy for what you get and a few things (most you pointed out) and that is the black plastic cladding around the wheel wells as this one is not for off road and should be painted and it being a redline package they also missed out not having any red trim bits or red stitching in the interior (plain jane white/ whats up with that ?) and old gold chevy emblem on the steering wheel and for the $46k price they should have had some options added like ventilated seating and fog lights or a HUD. I'm waiting to see you drive the new Buick Envision ! I rate this Blazer a swing and miss for all the missing things on a pkge you pay for . Thanks Joe and Steven for the great review and video work !
Hey Joe, do you think that it was possible at all for GM to tap in some of those 80s and early 90s exhaust Engineers to give that thing a little bit of a performance burble to the Blazer?? Even the Lumina and Beretta sounded a lot better than that thing does.
Oh man I really wish they would
@@RaitisRides They use the same 3.6 in the Camaro, and they have a performance "burble" and 335 hp. Probably via their less restrictive exhaust system . If the Blazer is like my XT5 with the 3.6 V6, the exhaust has 2 catalytic converters funneled through a single muffler, single mid-pipe, then though a 2nd muffler before splitting to twin exhaust tips. Engineers designed the Blazer and XT5 to be this way. The v6 Camaro has dual mid pipes and perhaps less restrictive mufflers as well.
How about the 2025 honda pilot elite review 👀👀
So is the only thing you get with the red line package is accent color on a few exterior trim pieces and no other changes from a non-redline model???? Also I think this would be cross shopped with VW Atlas, Kia Sorrento and Hyundai Santa Fe more so than an Acura MDX.
We all really appreciate your commitment Joe! Loved the video as always!
Nice blazer
I’m so glad that you like this one!
Seriously Joe? How many MDX buyers are cross shopping a Chevy Blazer? How about 0? Nice presentation as always.
There’s actually a lot of them on the road
I was going in the whole v6 setup
@@FastTimes75this is true
Alot in my state 😊
You be surprised it's a lot of blazers on the road
Yes of course Joe & I can't wait to drive this.
Outstanding engine! Eye catching styling, too.
I'd prefer a little bit of texture on the trim instead of gloss black.
Good call David!
Gotta love the sound of the 3.6
Keep up the great presentations!
I have a 2023 bright red(red hot) RS fully loaded and I LOVE it! My RS has all red accents inside the car i feel for a redline edition it should absolutely be the same as my RS accents…I opted out of the black roof though I feel its played out and liked the pillars black and my roof rails so i was happy to hear your comment on that because I agree… I have had many vehicles this is by far my favorite, use to be in corvettes, camaros, chargers, but needed a cool mom SUV this is it😎
Amazing review Joe.
i like the redline, they should take it to the next level though especially in the interior with some red accents 👍🏻
Personally, I wish they had kept the redline package on performance cars only...
Looks stunning!!
The white with the black pops
Lovely video as usual. Take Care
nice ride! 😁 black rims are always best!
Saw one of these on the road…….seems like it has a wide stance. I would go Acura, Joe
No way
2million subscribers almost there
Redline edition with no red is interesting. Personally, not a fan of red so it wouldn’t bother me! I agree the backend looks strange. Needs an interior update IMO but otherwise a decent option in the 2-row class.
Just took home a 2014 Ford Edge Limited Raiti...Omg..Literally smoother and more refined than new Toyota Honda or Hyundai I Uber in. Wow. And the newer Ford Edges blew my mind too. The Asian brands can't match American refinement. I was like I can't feel any bumps. Transmission was so smooth it was hardly noticeable. Why do ppl gush over Asian brands.
Interior of Blazer EV + Exterior and 6 cylinder of Blazer ICE = Home run
Great to see v6 in some cars still.4 turbos gotta go.
The Chevy blazer has been around for a long time
You are so very right about that!
@@RaitisRides yes sir
The rear lights remind me of VW's rear lights. I definitely like the sporty design for sure and very nice interior. Great review!
Better camera angles this time Steven 👍👍
I wish they would update the infotainment system like they did with all of their SUV. Do you think they will do that for 2025?
Just here to observe for twinkie storage... 👀
Nice suv
I’m glad you are liking this one.
Same feelings on those fender covers. Noticed this trend lately not a fan. Hoping it goes away soon. Thanks for the review.
I wouldnt buy one due to questionable reliability, but I did have one as a rental a few years ago for 2-3 months and I was a big fan. Surprisingly quick, comfortable, efficient, and engaging to drive for what it was. Only downside was very weak headlights especially for being LEDs (mightve been improved for 2024) and super glitchy infotainment - apple carplay rarely connected.
I agree with you not buying one for reliability issues. These are like Cadillacs which they look great and fun to drive for about 4 years. If you plan to keep it longer than 4 years then its no fun once that warranty expires. These are cars you lease, not buy. You buy a 4runner you lease a Chevy.
@@Wild1995Not sure what y’all are on about. Chevrolet’s reliability is great. Don’t believe all the bad press from naysayers of yesteryear.
Did they really make the door top trim pieces soft touch? They were hard plastic.
I agree. More red needs to be inside. Even if they put a red bowtie on the steering wheel. Not gold
That New Chevy Blazer Is Not That Bad👍👏🤞🚙💨!!!
I guess I got lucky with my 2021 BLAZER RS. Got quite a bit better option pkg than that redline. No trade in this year 🤙
I had a 85 Blazer with a Zimmer kit.
How did the blazer get a V6 but not the traverse?
Comparing a Chevrolet Blazer Redline to the Acura MDX is like comparing a ‘medium rare Ribeye’ to ‘Popeyes’.🤷🏼
So this redline edition isn’t also an RS as well? Sounds like the redline edition is just a different way they paint it Idk. And I wonder if you can get it as both a redline edition and a RS? 🤷🏿♂️ I’m also glad this Blazer has a sunroof in it!
Awesome
Sooo u get like 3 lil spots of red on a "red line". Nothing inside though. It does look pretty good but i would take the cx70 over this.
I own a 2020 redline edition and its a great vehicle. Great ride comfort, acceleration but the only thing I hate is the teenage safety thing where the blue tooth turns down your volume on your Iphone while in car. So when you are in the office, at home, etc expect to miss phone calls from phone being on silence. Chevy should remove that option....
I love chevy blazer look good real true my favorite 2nd suv real true and Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Mini s clubman best value for the buck right now
as a youngin' I had a bmx bike that redline made

Thanks for being here! I really appreciate it!
Like the video but not the car. With the. Blazer EV having the new infotainment system they really should have updated this 2024 to bring it up to speed with the rest of the lineup. I bought the Blazer EV simply because I fell in love with the new bold interior
Agree with you about the black in the back. Looks like Chevy ran out of paint! Not a fan of the car but like the V6 and tranny. Oh, I’ll take the Acura or the Mazda.
We have red accents on our 2024 RS version.
That is interesting!
I would never cross shop this with an MDX. I would with the Passport. I do like the exterior styling but that interior really just doesn’t do it for me. Also I’ve just heard nightmare reliability stories about the Blazer so that would be a dealbreaker.
Cool SUV, but underrated because of Santa Fe and Sorento..
I really wish that wasn't a serious question
You crack me up
I’m not being picky, but it is a little dated, no digital gauges etc., but I’d rather buy a the Acura or the Mazda for sure. 😁🚗
Yeah
Big change.
Is it me or does that steering wheel look huge?
46K is crazy MSRP for that. About 10K overpriced.
At that price point, throw some ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, an a/c command center for the second row.. or something idk… this vehicle should be in the mid to high 30s… while there is a panoramic sunroof, the interior isn’t gleaming 46k….. but what do I know lol
No lie, no headsup, no digital display, no power folding mirrors wtf is going on 🤣
Cute
Miss the actual blazers that were body on frame SUVs. This revival isn’t ruins it
I'd say neither. The upcoming Equinox seems like a better deal and its not on yesteryear's drive train.
At least yesteryears drivetrain can push that 4300 lb Pig down the road better than a 1.5 L turbo ever could.😅
*Bowtie* America’s Heartbeat
You know it man!
Made in Mexico?
Major zonk the exposed rear wiper.
GM cracks me up, they put black wheels on everything, but keep chrome lug nuts... Like. WTF???
For $46,000 I'll take a new 4runner. When this thing hits the junk yard at 100k miles, I'll be at the half life of the 4runner. I would never pay so much for a GM Chevy
Interior is definitely falling behind the new Traverse, Equinox and even the Trax
With all the options out there in the brand new suv market who's really buying a Chevy blazer lmao !! Esp for the price range of 30k plus .....
This is a nice car but with not even an IOTA, DAB OR TINGE OF RED ON THE INTERIOR for $46k is very disappointing
Holdover of last generation parts.
Let me guess it's gdi
Does he mean Acura RDX?
Ford brings back the Bronco... and Chevy has a front wheel drive Blazer 😐
If *gm’s* world revolved around Ford we wouldn’t have a CT4, CT5, a Tahoe with air suspension, Hummer EV twin Supertrucks, mid-engine Corvette, nor the V-series performance division. Folks *love* their Blazers, people regret buying Broncos.
Get a clue.
Comparing a Blazer to a MDX A-spec id blasphemy! Maybe Honda Passport
Acura MDX, no way. Maybe the RDX
MDX ALL DAY LONG>
