2023 Vs. 2022 Blazer: How the Newest Models Measure Up


The 2023 Blazer is now scheduled to arrive as the fifth model year for its very popular nameplate here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis, and we are excited to provide you an in-depth look at what the differences are between the incoming and outgoing models. The bloggers at GM Authority produced an  awesome feature last week that compares the sporty RS Trim levels!

Up front, the refreshed 2023 Blazer now sports a new fascia, and the corners of the front end show off devised daytime running lights that are longer and thinner than those on the 2022 model. The overall profile still looks quite similar, with a two-tone roof, a new alloy wheel design, and multiple new spokes that provide an upgraded and more modern feel. 


The rear end updates the overall appearance with brand-new tail light graphics, wrapping in gradually from the fenders to the rear hatch. The powertrain is GM’s turbocharged 2.0-liter I4 LSY gas engine seen in the 2023 Blazer 2LT, 3LT and Premier trim levels, which produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-feet of torque. The other option is the naturally-aspirated 3.6-liter V6 LGX gas engine, rated at 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, with both featuring front-wheel drive with GM’s 9-speed automatic transmission. 

There’s so much to love about this modern SUV that has prime tech, styling, and convenience features. Quiet, comfortable, and roomy was how the Consumerreports team described the 2022 RS after their first drive. Each Blazer now leaves the factory with lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. 

What do growing families and recent graduates love most about the Blazer? How about a five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, 8-inch touchscreen, six speakers, satellite radio, and two front and two rear USB ports! In addition to all of its safety upgrades, the 3LT’s Sound and Technology Package provides navigation, a rear power outlet, and 8-speaker Bose sound system. The Driver Confidence II Package available on the RS and Premier provides wireless charging, and upgrading to the Premier trim for either year’s model provides chrome exterior accents, silver roof rails, and machine-finished 20-inch aluminum wheels.
