The 2020 Chevrolet Blazer isn't a burly 4x4 designed to chase Jeeps into the wilderness—it is instead a slick, decidedly street-oriented crossover bristling with cool, Camaro-inspired design touches.An all-new model for 2019, the Blazer blazes into 2020 with few major changes. Chevrolet has added a new 230-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to the lineup, where it fits between the entry-level 193-hp 2.5-liter (non-turbo) four-cylinder and the available 308-hp V-6. The new engine forces a trim-level shakeup from last year's L, 2.5L, 3.6L cloth, 3.6L leather, RS, and Premier trims to L, LT, 2LT, 3LT, RS, and Premier.
