What is the Chevrolet Blazer?
The Chevrolet Blazer is an SUV name that has served very different roles over the years. Early models were truck-based four-wheel-drive vehicles; the modern Blazer is a midsize crossover in Chevrolet’s SUV range. The shift brought the name from rugged utility toward a road-focused vehicle for everyday driving and family use.
Blazer generations
The full-size K5 Blazer ran from 1973 to 1991. The S-10 Blazer’s first generation followed from 1983 to 1994, with a second generation from 1995 to 2005. The GMT400 Blazer ran from 1992 to 1994, overlapping with the S-10. These earlier models were sold in North America, and the later S-10 generation also reached the UK. The modern C1XX Blazer began in 2019, bringing a crossover format to the name.
