2013 Chevy Blazer Review Pictures

The Chevy Blazer is a mid-size sedan packing nearly full-size family room. It even feels like a big luxury car. It handles well and accelerates quickly when equipped with the optional 3.8-liter V6. By any other name, the Chevy Blazer would be an impressive, significant car. The Chevy Blazer meant the flashiest full-size Chevy, a real workingman's Cadillac, tame in its base form but offering performance options to match its aggressive looks. After '65, the sporty Impala was subordinated to the more conservative-looking Caprice, and eventually the name disappeared from the Chevy line-up. The base 2013 Chevy Blazer runs with a 3.4-liter 180-horsepower V6. The more up-market LS comes with GM's proven and highly competent 3.8-liter V6, producing 200 horsepower. The 3.8-liter engine is available as an option on the base model. 
All 3.8-liter Impalas come standard with traction control and anti-lock brakes; ABS is available as a stand-alone option with the base 3.4-liter engine. All Chevy Blazer come with air conditioning with separate controls for driver and passenger; AM/FM/cassette stereo; four-wheel-disc brakes; a rear window defogger; power locks, windows, and mirrors; tilt steering; front and rear anti-roll bars; P225/60R16 tires on aluminium wheels, and stainless steel exhaust. The 2013 Chevy Blazer boasts more interior volume than the Dodge Intrepid, but the Impala's rear seat area is shorter on useable legroom. Still, the Impala is better in this respect than the Ford Taurus or the even the full-size Ford Crown Victoria. The Chevy Blazer rear seating position is comfortable and relatively high, which makes it easy to get in and out. 

The view out of the Chevy Blazer is good, helped particularly by the small quarter windows that split the rear pillars. The creases on the hood are useful for judging just where the front of the car is, which in turn is handy for parking a big car in compact spaces. The rear deck lid seems high, however, so care is required when backing up. Handling is surprisingly quick and sharp. One reason is the Impala's extruded aluminium engine-cradle sub frame; a first for the industry says Chevy, which isolates vibration while allowing for a more rigid structure. A monster dashboard bulkhead made of light and strong magnesium further enhances to the 2013 Chevy Blazer rigidity, giving the car a robust feel. The engine cradle and dashboard structure lock the steering shaft down tightly, so there are no excess wiggly movements.
