I used to buy only GM vehicles and defend them against the Japanese fanboys. I've just been burned too many times and now own a Toyota, Mazda, Kia and old GMC truck and realize that it's not normal to constantly have your vehicle needing repairs. Great video as usual Joe and Lori!
Agree and disagree. Agree that they didn’t think the name through. Disagreed that they should call Silverado EV the avalanche. I think just because it looks similar doesn’t mean it is. The avalanche was a truck. This electric vehicle Should’ve just been called a lightning or something. Kind of like how they called it the other electric vehicles Bolt and volt
Blazer Looks like a decent value, and love the touch screen, which I hope Acura eventually implements. But the exterior of the MDX looks way better in my opinion.
True true. Also Acura has some of the best reliability in the game and better resale value so it’s a no brainer 😹 lack of a touchscreen is definitely the biggest Acura flaw in my book but hey, small price to pay 🤷♂️
I don’t get the silver line on the door. It just looks tacky. I remember when they were putting silver in the door frames and I thought they looked like crappy mods, until I learned it was factory installed.
Hey Raiti's Rides, I Hope All Is Well. What Is YOUR Opinion Of The New 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Dimensions? It's Looks Horrible To Me And 2022 Toyota Highlander Platinum Hybrid And Compare To The Toyota Highlander And Mitsubishi Outlander
Great review! The positioning of the side door name badges are definitely odd! Love Chevy’s but still not sold on it being comparable to Acura, more so the mdx which I’ve never been in love with; very odd they still don’t have a touch screen, like they’re trying to create a new trend of people preferring the dial to navigate. I’d say this is more comparable to the RDX.
Thé Blazer has always been a good suv. My brother had a 99 for his second or third vehicle and that lasted for 3-4 years before he decided to trade it in.
Chevrolet all the way....."See the USA, in your Chevrolet"......I'd take the extra cargo space over a 3rd row........beautiful styled vehicle. Thanks Joe and Lori.
I would go with Acura…….but doesn’t look bad. They need to do some work on their interiors and dash area for $50k. Copy Kia 🙂 The world is officially crazy when a Jeep is $70k and Chevy blazer is $50k 🤣
Hmm. The MDX is always nice, but that 3rd row is a massive deal-breaker for me, I'd rather have the storage space. As usual, great review, Joe! Lori, the superlatives begin to pale against the quality of work you put into all the videos
I’m disappointed that Chevy didn’t make the Blazer an off roader again but they could bring the Trailblazer back as an off roader… oh wait Great video as always!
As an chevrolet fan of the 60's up to the newer models. But This brand-new 22' chevrolet blazer is definitely my choice to buy over it's competition. But fantastic review joe.
Joe, this is one of your easiest questions to answer in a long time. Little deliberation to be had between this Chevy and the MDX. Better handling, more engaging, better resale value, a more unique looking vehicle than the cookie cutter looking Chevy and less long-term reliability concerns than the Chevy. I would go with the MDX all day long over this Chevy.
You hit the nail square on the head with this one Joe!!! They never intended for it to be an off roader like the Bronco and Wrangler are. So for what it is meant to be, it's a decent ride. 👌 I'm no longer upset. Lol Personally, I'd go MDX Type S Great review as usual Joe and Lori!!! Literally nobody does it like you guys!!!
The engine is a 3.6 but I see that you put it in the description so you just made a mistake in your video.No biggie,tbh I love it but I think the mdx looks sharper.The blazer looks blend but overall still great.
@@r3tr0actiongamer24 I'm looking at Chevy Spark. Nothing luxury or premium about it. Now models within a brand can be differentiated. But putting ambient lighting in and call it "luxury" is a stretch.
The updates make it look very nice. Still think it's about 3 grand too expensive though. It's made in Mexico so GM can afford to discount them. Whether or not you can get a good price at the dealer would be the deciding factor for me. Otherwise, I'd go for something else in it's price range. Such as a loaded up Acura RDX or Infiniti QX50. Or a base BMW X3, base Acura RDX, or base Audio Q5. There is also a fully loaded Mazda CX9 for the same price. GM defiantly needs to add more. Such as, a bigger screen, digital gauge cluster and led ambient lighting or discount the Blazer to compete with the others mentioned.
i thought the Blazer refresh was the 2023? slight redesign on the front grill and slimmer daytime running lights, similar backlights to the refreshed equinox and a 10in infotainment system?
Short answer no. GM blew it by not bringing back the full size Blazer from the 70's. Same with Dodge Ram who should bring back the full size version of theirs.
Joe, I’m looking for the trifecta. Wireless CarPlay, touchscreen, and a rotary control knob down low like BMW so you don’t have to always reach for the screen. I think this falls short. Nice car otherwise!
Man. I have lots of love for The Chevy. My dad's 2001 Trailblazer LT is still alive and well (mostly because he worked so close to home) . Only 124K (KM) on the odometer. But this vs the MDX. Lol. Probably need to target the RDX, or Passport.
my 2019 blazer looks just like this all that changed is that 2022 premier comes with a few different gadgets but they added more chrome which i hate i will soon do a complete chrome delete on my blazer
Not worth it when gas is $2 a litre up here in Canada. If gas was under a $1 I would consider it as it is a better alternative to the Traverse/Enclave and definitely better than the Acadia with the push button shifter
Initially I wrote this off because I thought it'd be full of cheap plastics, but now....I like it! I'm curious to know your opinion on the 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine. Do you think it has enough power for this vehicle?
I have one with the 2.0L turbo. Anyone says it's not enough is full of crap and hasn't driven one. It won't tow what the V6 can, but, it's not a dog at all!
I think the blazer RS and Premier trims with the bigger wheels is the nicest way to own this vehicle otherwise it looks terribly disproportionate. My neighbor has an RS with the 21’s and it’s really the nicest looking car on the street. However in the long run the MDX with the 3.5 will probably be a superior vehicle in the long haul.
The Blazer's true competition is Ford’s Escape and Bronco Sport:a fiesty little daily runabout for growing families. But I wouldn't give up on Chevrolet not building its own off-road variant of the (Trail)Blazer just yet,especially if the Bronco and Jeeps gain more traction,no pun intended.
It will never beat the Acura Joe. Chevy dropped the ball on this one. Its nothing but an AWD station wagon not the off roader it was. With that being said the fit and finish on it doesn't even vome.close to the Acura.
Yeah. There are only three types of buyers at this moment for this vehicle: 1) Desperate buyers who need an SUV for a family; 2) Impatient buyers who are not willing to wait for a better SUV and 3) Uninformed buyers who did not do their due diligence research on this vehicle. That’s why I was patient enough and waited over a year to get my 2021 Rav4 Prime. I did my research and made sure I was buying a vehicle that wasn’t going to take such a financial hit after a year of ownership.
Chevy was smart releasing the blazer as a midsized suv. Looks better/more sporty than all their other midsized options. In saying that, they need to release an updated K5 Blazer to compete with the Bronco but actually make it an off-road vehicle unlike what ford did with the mall crawling broncos
Joe loved your introduction Meaning that quit waiting for off road chevy blazer . Speaking for my self as S10 blazer 92 owner . So I will move on with my life without off road blazer type . God bless you Joe keep up your good awesome videos. You're rocks.👍👍🤘🤘

Hell yeah, I test drove one and that V6 has some power almost feels like a SUV Vette, Chevy talking about dropping in the LS V8 Can you say Typhoon coming soon 🤞💪
This Blazer competes w/ the MDX as Cadillac competes with a Maybach. Seriously, Blazer is a nice SUV, proven mechanical reliability, just not a value compared to most other SUVs (and shouldn't a better comparison be the RDX?).
I freaking love Joe, its always interesting to hear what comes out of his mouth during these videos. Melon Holders, everyone loves a good melon holder. I always love those when he slides the back seats in other videos back and forth and just makes that face. Great work yet again Joe and Lori
Joe always gives us 100% in his videos. Well done Joe and Lori! I’d go MDX between the two.
I liked this new luxury approach for the Blazer but I would go for the Acura.
I am going Acura for sure Omar!

The world is officially crazy when a Jeep is $70k and Chevy blazer is $50k 🤣
Excellent points as usual Tom!
Looking at the back end….what is the dealership name again?? Also, did they really put a pinstripe on that thing?
Dimmitt Chevrolet
I like the previous generation more for the front end but other than that this new one looks better in all other categories. Nice video Joee!!
I’m so glad that I could bring it to you
The blazer looks nice. Interior is good, they are getting better and no cheap plastics
I have a Blazer in this trim and I'm very satisfied.
Joe, Does this have a 3.8L v6 or a 3.6L v6? And for the trim did you say it's a premiere? Does this Blazer have AWD?
Hmm. The MDX is always nice, but that 3rd row is a massive deal-breaker for me, I'd rather have the storage space. As usual, great review, Joe! Lori, the superlatives begin to pale against the quality of work you put into all the videos
Thanks Joe, it's really a stylish mid size SUV, and how reliable is it? How much is the maintenance cost in ten years? How is the fuel consumption?
I got a clean 88’ K5 4x4 Blazer.
Waiting for Chevy to make a Bronco competitor. The price on this blazer is outrageous! 😬
Joe, I don't see this in the MDX category but more Hyundai Sante Fe. The MDX interior and styling blows this away in my opinion.
I’m disappointed that Chevy didn’t make the Blazer an off roader again but they could bring the Trailblazer back as an off roader… oh wait

They're not a luxury brand.
@@r3tr0actiongamer24 I'm looking at Chevy Spark. Nothing luxury or premium about it. Now models within a brand can be differentiated. But putting ambient lighting in and call it "luxury" is a stretch.
One of the few models that sells below MSRP on average rn.
Very good point!
Mainly because the Blazer has gotten a ton of negative feedback.
Smooth as silk! Great review.
Major props for the heads up about the 2023.
The updates make it look very nice. Still think it's about 3 grand too expensive though. It's made in Mexico so GM can afford to discount them.

$3k too expensive? more like $15k
This model in 1996 was used in the Ultraman Tiga Series, which was my dream in my childhood.
Now that is interesting to say the least!
Does anyone know where can find the same Running Boards fits for Side Step Nerf Bars？？？
cant never beat the acura is a real luxury vehical
Eh. Nice upgrade on the inside but not worth 49k.
What do you think the price should be.
i thought the Blazer refresh was the 2023? slight redesign on the front grill and slimmer daytime running lights, similar backlights to the refreshed equinox and a 10in infotainment system?
Question Joe: Which one is more fun to drive? The Blazer or the Mazda CX-5 Signature Turbo?
Great review as always. I hope you were able to get your calzone.
Lori actually treated me. Thanks for saying that!
This isn’t the updated version though, the update has a different grille/lighting setup and new rear taillights New screen as well.
Thanks for watching Shane!
I don't see how this is worth almost $50,000.
Short answer no. GM blew it by not bringing back the full size Blazer from the 70's. Same with Dodge Ram who should bring back the full size version of theirs.

Good call Jerald! Thanks for watching!
Nice but it's not a true chevy blazer v8 just like the 1979 chevy blazer why not a full body on fram v8 performance

Acura for me. I cant spend that kind of money on low quality.
Isn't the engine 3.6L?
Not worth it when gas is $2 a litre up here in Canada. If gas was under a $1 I would consider it as it is a better alternative to the Traverse/Enclave and definitely better than the Acadia with the push button shifter
