2019 Chevrolet Blazer

Not sure if this vehicle deserves the Blazer nameplate, but whatever.

Enjoy...

There are A handful of police packages available in SUVs. And it isn’t that police don’t like them, it is the fact that they often can’t afford them as it is more expensive than a sedan. From what I understand, Tahoe is the most expensive. Followed by Explorer (which I see a lot of).

This shift away from cars will certainly have an effect on law enforcement.

They're still importing the Caprice (Holden) for police-only use, right? I see them once in a while.

I was reading an article about sedans for police use and the reality is that "full sized" sedans have become too small to be practical for police use. Even the Charger is marginal (but I must say that I have one and it's great for civilian use). The towns around me have mostly Explorers and a couple of Chargers. There's a smattering of Suburbans, too. NJ State Police use Chargers almost exclusively for highway patrol but have sport utes for other uses.

Anyhow, it wouldn't surprise me if they had a police-package Blazer to compete with the Explorer fleet sales.

No. Holden has stopped production totally

IMO, the Blazer nameplate should only be on a large SUV as to where it got it's start in the 1st place. Right up there w/ the FULL size Bronco and Ramcharger. A downsize vehicle w/ Blazer on it just isn't a Blazer.

What is worse it will be made in Mexico

I believe chevy still has the Tahoe police package

They do. I answered my own question about the Caprice through the magic of Google. The Caprice PPV was discontinued in 2017, but you can still get Tahoes/Suburbans and Impala police packages.

The Chargers intrigue me because you can still get an AWD Hemi with the police package but not for civilian use - they went away with the 2015 model year.

It looks like a Camaro XLT.

[JAC1982]

Yup looks like a Lexus crossed with a Jeep Grand Cherokee to me. Not bad looking IMO, but not something I'd consider to be a Blazer.

Hecho en Mexico. I wonder what the tariff will end up being on it.

Having owned a mid-'80s full-size K5 Blazer, I would say "no." They should have just come up with a new name. The vehicles aren't even intended for the same purpose.

All I could afford wrote:
I see a little bit of Mazda CX 3...5...or 9 in the profile

And that would make it a Ford product, not a GM. Toyota maybe or Opel.

Opel Grandland X



Neqw Blazer

Also by using the Blazer name means Chevy's not going to compete with Jeep or Ford's Bronco which IMO is a big mistake and to have another CUV shows that GM's management is lost.

I suppose we'll see a small electric powered Jimmy next and the next new econo box named the Chevelle.


BTW... My parents had a 1975 Blazer that was a two tone red/white with a white roof that looked like a jewel.
