If you want a mid-size SUV that feels more like something sporty, consider the 2021 Chevy Blazer. This vehicle is powerful and smooth, and it has several impressive features that we think you’ll adore.

1. Above-Average Safety Features

A lot of vehicles have safety features these days; it’s almost standard as technology improves in vehicles. However, most of the time you have to pay for the features. Safety is seen as a luxury, not a right – but that’s not the case in the Chevy Blazer. With this SUV you get four standard safety features: a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, a tire pressure monitor, and rear parking assistance.

With that said, there are some safety features that you can grab as paid upgrades. These features are excellent for new drivers who have trouble staying centered, but they’d be fantastic for anyone. Having some extra help on the road never hurts. So, you could equip your Blazer with:

  • Lane-keeping assistance
  • Lane-change alerts
  • Lange-departure warning
  • Forward-collision alert
  • Side blind-spot alert

2. Lots of Cargo Space

In the Chevy Blazer, you have a lot of room for that cargo. By default, you have 30.6 cubic feet to fill, a measurement that’s on-par with some larger SUVs on the market. If that’s not enough for you, fold down the rear seats. That gives you 64.2 cubic feet of space instead, which should be more than enough for most peoples’ needs.


3. Surprising Maximum Towing Capacity

While SUVs aren’t exactly known for their towing prowess, the Chevy Blazer wants to change that. It can handle a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds. This is the same as some larger SUVs, making this an incredibly impressive feat.

With that capacity, you could handle a small boat for a beach trip. You could also hitch up a trailer, pile it high with gear, and move house without renting a moving truck – well, as long as you don’t mind taking more than one trip.


4. Smooth and Steady Handling

Whether you have a full cargo area or a trailer attached instead, you can’t beat how smooth and agile the Chevy Blazer feels. Its handling is comparable to a sports coupe. As SUVs can be quite large and intimidating, finding one that feels like something smaller and easier to handle is amazing. That makes the Chevy Blazer a highly approachable vehicle for new drivers, or for people converting from a sedan or a sports car. It’s a fantastic starter SUV.

The steering dynamics are delightful, the vehicle is highly responsive, and it handles sharp corners beautifully. You really can’t do better in terms of handling, even if your Blazer is packed with passengers and cargo, and towing a trailer too.
