New 2022 Chevy Blazer RS Gains Style
2022 Chevy Blazer RS – The midsize SUV is one of the most entertaining options in its segment. At least in the guise of Blazer RS.
With rather high power and torque peak (the full stable 308-horse engine comes online at 6,700 rpm — practically on the redline — and the overall 270-lb-ft torque turns on at 5,000 rpm), the Blazer engine and responsive Transmission have never had a hard time carrying this 4,250-pound SUV to high speed.
Not surprising, really, considering the last AWD Blazer we tested accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds and crossed a quarter of a mile after 14.6 seconds at 95.6 mph.
Apart from a specially tuned damper, Blazer RS managed to suppress every major impact from a large mound on a pockmarked road in the Midwest.
We envision 20-inch wheels and tires contributing to the quality of the ride, too, as the available 21-inch wheels ($1,000) and its low-profile tires may have exacerbated the effect of setting the RS sport-tuned trim suspension.
The RS Blazer provides a great balance between driving comfort and driving engagement. Not too exciting to drive like a compact luxury SUV at the same price as the BMW X3 or Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, but much more fun to drive than competitors like the Ford Edge ST.
The Chevy Blazer enters 2022 with several color options and one fewer engine option. In addition, the L-base model is no longer part of the lineup, meaning a naturally sucked 2.5-liter in-line four-cylinder engine is no longer on offer.
Instead, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 228 hp power now serves as the base powertrain, with a 3.6-liter 308 hp V-6 engine available as an option.
The 2022 Blazer starts with the 2LT, a 2.0T engine, front-wheel drive, and a nine-speed automatic. The better-equipped 3LT offers the V-6 option, as does the loaded Premier (pictured in silver), which looks slightly different this year, thanks to several exterior trim updates. An all-wheel drive is an option for all trim levels.
The sporty-ish RS comes standard with the V-6 and offers a new two-color paint option with a black roof (pictured red). This two-color display is also new optional with certain display packages in LT.
Other new color options include Nitro Yellow metallic and Blue Glow metallic, but Chevy has yet to release a photo of the color
