Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2019 Chevrolet Blazer reboots a name from the past, and leaves truck bona fides behind for crossover comfort.

Pros
Clean break from Blazers past
Towing capacity
Inline-4 or V-6

Cons
Brand heritage cries foul
Not substantially bigger than an Equinox
Will automatic emergency braking be standard?

By:

The 2019 Chevy Blazer is an all-new vehicle.Seats five passengers.Standard four-cylinder engine or optional V6.

Pros
Refined ride quality
Strong optional V6 engine

Most competitors come with more powerful base engines
Limited availability of advanced driver safety aids

The 2019 Chevrolet Blazer ranked #16 in Midsize SUVs. Currently the Chevrolet Blazer has a score of 7.9 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 8 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Responsive, user-friendly infotainment system
Accommodating second-row seats
Fuel-efficient base engine
Agile handling

Cons
Questionable value of upper trim levels
Small cargo area

By: 
usnews.com

The 2020 Kia Sorento comes with front wheel drive, and all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic, 6-speed shiftable automatic.Lightly refreshed bumpers and exterior lighting.EX Sport and SX Limited trims dropped.

PROS
Convenient size should fit many families
Ample feature content for the money
Stylish and quiet interior
Extra-long warranty coverage

CONS
Less cargo space than other three-row models
Third-row seat is strictly for kids
Lackluster acceleration even from the V6 engine

By: 
edmunds.com

The 2020 Kia Sorento skimps on third-row seating, but in all other respects it’s a more than respectable crossover SUV.

Pros
Upmarket feel inside and out
Terrific ride quality
Responsive, natural steering
Strong value and warranty
Solid, quiet feel

Cons
Second row sits too low
Don’t bother with the base engine
Mediocre fuel economy

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Changes are minimal on the 2020 Kia Sorento. There are modest styling updates front and rear, and Kia has consolidated the trim levels and packaging on V-6 models. The ritzy SX Limited and its lofty price are gone, but the one-step-down SX provides most of the important content. The standard navigation system on SX models now includes an integrated modem that allows you to control certain vehicle functions remotely and can notify you if you inadvertently leave a kid in the back seat.

Pros
Simple interior layout, agreeable driving experience, seating for seven in a mid-size body.

Cons
Difficult-to-access third row, numb steering, some safety features limited to upper trims.
